This is basically an idea I've been sitting on for a long time. The idea is this: The player of a character gets to write their own story with their own plot about their character that helps show what their character is like. I think it's a creative way to show off your character and give them more depth than you can with tech specs and a bio.
If this idea is to be implemented then I think it should be added to the character creation section. And it shouldn't be a mandatory thing, just a fun little suggestion. Here is an example post so you can see what I think this should be like.
Ex:
Spotlight: Riptide
Riptide groaned as he sat back in the captain's chair of his ship The Wavelength. It was supposed to be a simple bounty. Find the debtor, and bring him in to the people he owed. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course, that was until a decepticon fleet captured the debtor for some unknown reason. Now he and his crew of hunters were following them to the literal edge of the galaxy.
Rip, we got a problem. Seems like they've rendezvoused with a few con warships. May wanna tap their comms, they may be talking about why they picked up our target.
Quill, a velocitronian who Riptide had hired on as a scout, reported in from the tiny stealth fighter he was in. Riptide had currently parked his ship on the other side of the moon that the con fleet was hovering by. He had sent Quill to the other side to scout out the opposition. Rip motioned at Nix, a Quintesson who strangely harbored no hatred to the cybertronian race, to tap the comm line. The quintesson waved a tentacle at him before using his other tentacles to work the comms station in front of him. Soon, the deck of the ship was filled with the sound of decepticon voices.
So, this little runt has been harboring information on an autobot force on Earth? That back-water planet?
Yes, though my main concern is that we waste all that fuel to get there then find that the intel was fake. I suggest sending out a few scout ships to verify the intel. After that, we send the fleet and obliterate the planet, destroying any autobot scum there.
Riptide's optics widened as he listened. They had found out about Earth, his home. That little runt was surely the debtor, how did he have that intel? Riptide sighed and put his head in his servos. just being near decepticons made him uneasy, but now he knew that they were going to invade Earth.
~Primus help, the entire reason I left was to get away from the threat of a blasted war! Now I gotta prevent one, but I owe it to the bots...~
Alright, so obviously our target is on board the main ship. Quill, park your ship near the Wavelength, I've got some disguises we can use to board...
~Now, time to figure out how to reclaim my bounty and destroy an entire fleet of cons... this is gonna be a long day...~
Now of course, that was just a small sample of the spotlight I have in mind for Riptide. I hope this idea gets implemented as I think that it is a creative way to show off elements of your character and develop him/her more. Leave any criticism or comments you have about it below.
