I always RP'd based on NPC examples. Like...NPCs act differently depending on the region they're from. You kind get an idea for how your character would probably act if they were from there. But for Othard we got like....no examples of that. Domans we have Yugiri and the ninjas (who are kinda derpy in their own right)...but Othard and Xaela....you got 1 from Alexander and it's like....okay >>
YoshiP, wherever you are, please add Othard as a traversable region in 4.0 thank you /cries
Personalities are malleable based on experience. People from certain places act in certain ways because that's the most common experience that that place provides.
However, anything that can happen within a range of possibility also has the ability to affect a character accordingly.
Think about what sort of character you want, first and foremost. Then think, "okay, now that I have them, and I know that they're from <X> place, how can reasonable happenings in <X> place mold them into the <Y> person that I have created?"
Common experiences may create threads that tie people together, but they don't carbon-copy them.
