I guess depending how the disclaimer is worded, like "this section contains details that I would rather reveal through roleplay."Â But I'd still think that you can work around saying such things explicitly.
That's where I'm at an impasse. Is it really all that bad for there to be clues that there's more than meets the eye - both in-game and out? Of course, this is JUDGE we're talking about and he stands out quite a bit already, but I do like the idea of people thinking there's more beneath that armor than an old war vet who talks loudly.
And, again, it's also sort of a warning system to me, I guess? I mean, if someone's character believes they're a physical manifestation of Menphina or something, wouldn't that be something you'd like to know? Not so much for the "ew, I'm not playing with that" factor, but more to know what you might be getting into? And whether that is something you might be comfortable RPing with?
I dunno. I think it's because I'm doing something... something that might be well out of the norm for some with Judge? I just think it's something that might not be someone's cup of tea and I'd like them to have some manner of way to know. But at the same time, I don't want to just straight up give it all away - which would still happen if they opened the spoiler bit in the Wiki.
Blagh.
I'd say the best way to hide there is more to your charcter without adding to a wiki page would be the rumors you have for him. I'll use my own as an example.
Asmodean seems to a simple traveling warrior. Hard worker and heavy drinker nothing seems out of place for the most part but of each teir of rumors I hint there is a darker part of him. Some thinking he may be a voidsent in Hyur form and a few feels at if Death it's self follows him. Even people who once knew him before the Calamity can see something is different.
Most RP will never his darker side unless they show up at the wrong place wrong time and will thinking these rumors, if they even read about them, as nothing but gossip. It's all about how you hide it in plain sight, maybe even leave a note if you want to know more about so and so, send a pm or something and you can let them get idea ooc if they want to rp with your Judge.
I know for myself, throw anything at me so long as you aren't godmodding or out right breaking lore, I'll be fine to rp anythingso long as it makes sense for Asmo.
