I have often found that the most fun part of any RP is researching and creating a character for the setting, writing a nice backstory for them, getting them set up, etc. Sometimes it's not as fun to actually sit down and go through the motions of having them interact with other characters. That's why, when I RP, I like to keep things fresh with a constant stream of NPCs with distinct personalities and quirks. One-shot characters who only stick around for a few posts then promptly bugger off/are dismembered.

Also: Good to see the site up and running again! I wasn't aware it was, otherwise I would have been back sooner.
