One of the many things I love about SWTOR is that it feels like an RPG. In past MMOs I never bothered to really develop any of my characters. I only rarely delved into the land of role-playing so there wasn't a need. Although I had many alts they all seemed to have the same story, and a similar personality. They would visit the same old haunts and participated in the same kind of activities. They were more like an extension of myself than fictional characters. With SWTOR, all that changed.
Thanks to the morality system I was forced to make a choice - who would this character be? Would she be neutral evil, would she be chaotic good, perhaps lawful neutral? Thanks to the conversation options each character began to develop a unique voice. I started to wonder why each character made the decisions she did. Since in most instances they would make choices (both alignment and flavor wise) I would never make, they started turning into true fictional beings rather than an extension of myself.
As such I believe it is fitting to write a short biography for each of them, explaining why they make the choices they do. I intend to stick to a M-W-F posting schedule, so you should see the first one this afternoon and then the next on the 11th.
