Unified Records / Custom Character Backstories

[Anticheese]

Absolutely.

Someone suggested a madlibs style background creator that could be optional for players. I know I'd love the hell out of a system like that.

That would be me.

I'd love something a little bit like the crew objectives, where you'd get stuff like a personal quirk ("You can't last a day without your favourite drink: a Gin and Sonic."), a bit of background ("You interned under Dr. Whomever, who stole credit for your work and left you only able to find work as a janitor."), and an opinion/bit of history on another player ("Dr. Cogwerks' grandfather stole your grandfather's antique watering can and your families have been feuding ever since!") which gets mirrored to the other player. There's so many different things that can be done with this concept, and if the dev team is keen on the idea, I'd love to brainstorm some more with you guys. I'm usually logged into goonstation IRC as Anti.

A personality questionnaire would be pretty awesome to have, too!
