I will not base my character off of anyone's else regardless, so if it helps/ then cool. I would like to know basic info like appearance and function so that we can follow each others' stories better. Would not care to have 1/2 the intro posts be rehashing descriptive/story info every time new characters introduce. But then again, I have no idea how you fine folk are going to write :)Now it will get finicky down the line (if/when) characters meet each other. How much do we want to know about each other/ what don't we want others to know.I think your middle ground option would be for everyone to indicate what they would like listed on their CS listing. Or just flat out leave out the fine details/back-stories/terrible secret pasts, and that can get sorted out in the RP. Either way I will not meta-game anything I see,

This is exactly what I meant by piggy-back off of other characters. Roleplays that start with everyone apart never go very far in my experience
