Thanks for the input! That helps a lot... Following are some responses:
No no, just male playing female and vice-versa...
I was really thinking more along the lines of using the same (or close to the same) character. She left that world to join another (in the series) and the story sort of ends there... I was wondering if it were possible to sort of pick up where it left off (not just recycle the name). It could possibly carry over gracefully, but could also be a stretch to make it work.
I figured this could be a point of contention, so I have other original characters I can play as well...
This is good to know... I know that I will need plenty of time to progress etc...
Anyhow, thanks again for all the input and advice, I'll see if I can get connected with a Hydaelyn Free Company affiliate in the game, till then!
Quote:How ever if I go back to the idea that you perhaps mean playing a male character when you're female, well there's plenty already and they do pretty well! As well as the opposite. I myself am a Duskwight Elezen with dark skin, but my "real" self couldn't be more Aquitaine in apperance.

Quote:Varies from person to person, there is an understandable desire among some (myself included.) to keep most IRL references tangential at best for the sake of preserving the illusion, hard to see a character named Elmnister and not think of Ed Greenwoods novels no matter how good the Roleplayer is. Just an opinion, each person has their own triggers.

Quote:Oh yeah, thats why you'll find a lot of the Character directories have the tag "light" "medium" or "heavy" RP, while these don't always mean how often you're in character, it does give a general idea. Lots of people are progression players or favor Dungeons and Guildhests, some even work them into the RP. We're a pretty inclusive bunch.
