Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Allow me to go over the general idea for those unaware:
This change would make it so whatever a person writes in their biography appears in smaller text just below their name in-game, allowing a person to describe their characters visual looks, stance, etc without a person needing to wear a massive and perfect PAC3 (or just alongside it)!
*More Character RP - A large part of "character RP" is being able to visually see the character and how their physical and clothing descriptions. It is why in books and written media a characters core visual components are always described, becuase it completely changes how a character can be seen and roleplayed around. People are limited in some way for the characters they can play because of the lack of visual descriptions and RP - and it is why PAC3 (when used right [which can be difficult]) is so brilliant because it can show a persons character so visually well.
*Epic RP Production - By allowing a person to describe themselves visually you open more doors for RP both conversational and societal regarding those descriptions. Scars have histories and medical futures that can be RP about, physical features describe how a person treats themselves and acts, clothing can be unkept or very tidy, a person could walk with a cane or constantly gripping their weapon tightly - they are all things to talk about and interact with, RP can flourish based purely on physical looks.
*Biography Underused - Currently the biography is underused (if used at all), it is text that will be read once in a CN life time (the actual last time someone read and used my bio in RP was never, the last time someone even read it was over a year ago) and using it more would be very good overall for its existence.
- Allow a person to not have a biography when making a character - meaning that they do not need to have this extra part if they don't want.
- Limits the biography length to maximum 100 characters (or reasonable amount) - to mean that a person cannot write insane amounts of text.
- Places a persons biography below their name (in a smaller font).
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
- Society disallows me from finding such information, barriers prevent me from searching such words as "bio".
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- More Character RP*
- Epic RP Production*
- Biography Underused*
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Absolutely 0 Negatives (Devs aren't real)
- Some slight possibilities of "Naming Con" style rulebreaks, but not too insane since you can see them so easily.
