I guess I'm of a different branch here.Â
I mean if I level someone I'll try to reflect all those hours I spent to get there. If I have a crazy rare weapon, I claim it as a replica at best, something inspired by but not really the actual thing.Â
That demon armor he's toting? Totally an inspired design by this armorer he knows. But the point is I reflect it and not just hide it to make it look like your everyday run of the mill steel set because RP said so. I didn't spend hours upon hours of run and runs of WoD just to hide it or not use it.
Of course when it comes to skill level, I try to reflect that too, give or take cut it in half. Sure, Kurt's a warrior, he can swing an axe and all and he's got the inner beast shtick. But can he control it? No. Does he fight like a fighter? Hell no, he's an animal, screw finesse. Granted, I've only combat rp'd a handful of times.Â
I try to level what's relevant to the character. She's a lancer? Well by god, Imma level DRG to 60 on her and no other classes than the bare necessity to get to Dragoon.
Even if it means several characters instead of that one god character I spent hours and hours 50/60'ing classes he's not even gonna use or reflect IC. But that's probably me being fickle, I tend to get bored looking at the same face day in and day out.Â
So yeah what level they are OOCly is kind of important at least for how I play my characters.
