I was kinda using God characters/powerful characters interchangeably sorry about that, I was just meaning a being with immense power but by no means flawless, someone that could die, trying to get a God character to work with the lore isn't going to work very well I think just from reading what little I have of the lore so far.
I'll remember your name for when I do get the game soon! How in the world do you remember eight characters different personalities along with backstories and other important info? I might be writing a fanfiction along side my characters story just for kind of out of game things, that's the only way I'll be able to remember.
It's very interesting and very particular to do. It requires a lot of people to work with some people in secret so that most of the company doesn't know what one is thinking and being able to keep OOC knowledge out of IC due to planning. But it started because the original members of the company moved here together from SWTOR. Where many of them had Sith/evil characters, so they wanted an evil aligned FC. The other part of us wanted a good aligned FC. So we just combined the two so the good side essentially already has a group of antagonist, though the way the RP has been going the evil aligned side might be winning XD. The evil characters are working together, mostly well, but it's an alliance out of convenience. But the conflict between the two allows for dueling and physical altercations. It's a lot of work for the officers, but it's a lot of fun when things come together.
As to the eight characters. Most of them start out with very small just backstories, just enough to get a feel for the character. And then I let a lot of character development occur in the RP. Only six characters have any type of story. The other two are just kind of small thoughts that I decided to make to hold a place and because I horde crafting materials. So I transfer mats between characters for storage. But I think that it's easier to keep things separated, because they are all so different from each other and because most of the character development occurred ICly. Though...I do love writing things out by hand, so I also keep a journal where I collect lore as well as writing out a character journal which I then post to our website for my main. I've seen similar character journals posted here in the Town Square area, if that's something your interested in doing.
