Descriptions
One of the
hardest aspects of our game seems to be the mandatory
description, which you should have at 5th rank but often don't
write until 10th or later when forced to while sitting alone in
the cold and heartless Realm of the Dead. Some people have a
flair for description, you look at them and you can actually see
them. Others struggle with the concept of what they look like.
Many hope that to explain that they wear cloaks (and thus you
can't really see them) will get them out of the Realm of the Dead
and back to gaining ranks. Truthfully, at this point only the
Ancients can really claim that, and before they become Ancients
they need to have decent descriptions. Time was when the help
file on description writing was a confusing mess, but it makes
more sense now. Still, sometimes sitting in the Realm of the Dead
is not conducive to creative description writing.
The following list are of those people whose descriptions caught
my eye and looked good or interesting. Some are not perfect
(anyone who assumes that you who look at them will react in a
certain way about certain aspects of them are really taking
liberties), but they still bring forth ideas of what a person is
like. Some expect you to have read the help file on what their
race is to avoid having to re-write the usual description of the
average elf/dwarf/giant/centaur/etc., others give you an eye's
worth of how special they are compared to the average member of
their race.
