[@Nyxira] I, personally, like to have everything the same and out in the open. There are plenty of ways that I can alter and affect the story even with people knowing your character's past. You can still enjoy the story even knowing things about everyone else. It doesn't take any intrigue away from the story. For me, it does not create MORE intrigue if there's less information. It really doesn't. It just feels like there's something missing, and if you leave things out, then it feels incomplete. 

I'm just a little peeved that we've had this discussion because you asked for my thoughts and opinions and then went "I'm going to do it my way anyway" pretty much. It's a little irritating to tell someone something multiple ways and still have them be like "oh, but can I still do this the way that I feel? :) "

I'm really not trying to BE an asshole, but I'm kind of losing my patience; I won't even lie about that. I know how to tell a story and how to manage a thread, and I don't mean to be this person, but if you don't like the way that I do things or want things, then it's very simple that you don't have to join. I'm asking for things to be done in an orderly way where the characters have all the needed information. I'm fine if you want to dm me and ask me questions about character's back stories or pasts. I'm fine if you want to dm me to finish this conversation, but I am done having it here in the OOC. I understand that everyone does something their way, but this is my thread, and I am asking you to do something rather than take the lazy way out. It is true that RP is about telling a story, but the way that you want to tell a story is more suited for solo writing than group writing. 

As for different outlooks on how to write a character, from personal experience, the exclusion of information, has ALWAYS been an indication of laziness for me. On eliteskills, people would try to pass off unfinished characters for a thread, and it baffled me that people didn't seem to try. I know that if I leave things out of a skeleton, I forget about it or forget to pull it into the story even if I write it down somewhere else. I understand that people do things differently, but it's very hard for me to understand the way you want to go about it.
