I see your point.  I was in another RP a while back where everyone was in the same high school class (it was a class trip gone horribly wrong), so in the OOC, we posted our characters' thoughts on each other.  But...since we don't really know all that much about each other, that might not work.  Let's see what everyone else thinks.

Actually, I could see this becoming a running gag.

That's CAPTAIN Plankbeard to you! *harumphs*

I'm leaning towards 'varying degrees of knowing each other' now because figuring out what the relationships are and what everyone thinks of each other before hand is pretty fun. That and relationship building in an RP takes foooorrrreeevvvveeeer
