Hi Tom.
Well during online games, muds etc is a little different, sinse quite often
the people I've seen called captain kirk, frodo, doctor who etc won't
actually behave like their characters, they just chose the name because it
was one they liked, and themed their gear around it.
indeed I've seen players called doctor who, bilbo and james T kirk on ce
(darren is actually playing James T kirk I believe), but this is more of a
homage to the character, than an rp situation.
Myself, I don't really get into rp and backstory when I'm playing characters
in an online game, sinse usually I'm more interested in interacting with the
game, it's quests and mechanics than any sort of creative rp experience.
That is why I usually always call my characters dark or dark empathy, which
is as much a personal name to me these days as Luke is.
I'll occasionally do some sort of running theme with naming things, so my
ships in core exiles have been first the soprano, then the metso, then the
alto, and now the counter tenor (I hope I don't run out of voices before I
run out of ship upgrades!), but I don't generally attempt to rp, sinse as
far as I am concerned it is just me personally playing the game, doing
quests etc, ---- born out by the fact that often the quests and actions in
such games are pretty standard heroic ones anyway.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
