I would honestly say the necessity of the personality section depends on the RP itself. Running a bad macho-man RP where characters are basically vehicles for the writers to use their preferred power/gun/mech/whatever? Then go ahead and omit it. Or, just break it down into a list of personality traits? Honestly, I used it in my World Warriors RP, and it serves the same purpose as writing out a long paragraph after paragraph. In RPs more focused on the character, I'd say putting a little more effort into your character's personality might work - but, honestly, you can probably do the personality trait list and get the same result, so it's up to preference.

But

[quote=SleepingSilence]Granted like it's already been stated, a good CS doesn't equal a good roleplayer. Sometimes it just means the person can write. (Some people that do seem to love making CS's more than actually roleplaying, probably should go into writing instead. But I digress.) [/quote]


I've never seen a truer statement ever written out on this site.
