The main reason I used glamour is because at the time, a lot of people weren't willing to go 'Okay, so your avatar looks like this, but your character is actually this, cool.' Â Had that been the case, it would have just been a case of her looking like one thing visually, and being another thing in actuality. Â One of the main reasons I played off the glamour is because of what was acceptable at the time for anyone else I interacted with. Â
Given that I only role-played her with my husband's alt for the most part, I could just as easily pawn that off and make her have been the real deal the whole time. Â But on the off-chance I went to interact with someone, I needed a reasoning, and that was, as A'rk said, simply the most common. Â
Most people play Paladin's as Free Paladins, instead of Sultansworn, because that's become the most common, since they 'opened' training up to Adventurers. Â It doesn't make their character uncreative to be a Free Paladin, just that's the most common explanation for it.
