Moments in History

We request that you create multiple entries detailing important moments in your life. While not all personality traits of a character can be trailed back to some defining moment, we expect that there were moments of some measure of importance to your character. These should detail what occurred, but not necessarily how this made them feel or impacted them - that information should go into the Character Summary.

• Critical Moments (2): These moments likely shaped your character.
• Major Moments (3): These moments helped build your character.
• Minor Moments (4): These moments are ones of emotional value.

History Writing Prompts

Three major viruses affected the world; economic crisis, disability causing, and the big data wipe. How have these affected your character and their view on social games, or their family, if at all?

As a player, you play the MMORPG character. These two are not necessarily the same. Why?

How is your interaction with people in the real world, do you get bullied, or are you popular? How was this defined?

Did you play on Fragment, Sword Art Online, or Elder Tale ‘Offline’?

What kind of player were you then, years ago?

How did your interactions with these worlds shape you and your view on games?

Character Personality

Give insight into your character and their personality. The focus should be on the player persona, not on the characters they played on the various games and MMORPGs; unless they’ve strongly defined them. About the player’s feelings, and how they interact with the world around themselves. Use the chronology from your Moments in History if you need a guide to go off of. Things we expect to see here are their future Goals, and their general personality.
