I'll have to agree with Happy Go Lucky's point here. Player freedom is nice and all, but an RP with too loose a structure is one that's not going to last for long.
I guess I'll be playing a churchman with a landed fief, a prince-bishop who is both a man of the cloth and a sword-slashing feudal lord. I can channel my power fantasies well here, since that would mean that on the field, if you guys are playing Imperial heroes, I would be your direct boss.
