Role-playing Primer
The core of role-playing is to assume the role of the character you are going to play and act-out the adopted role as if you were that character. The sandbox nature of Space Engineers allows us to play any type of character we set our minds to. Players should be encouraged to explore this world in an open fashion but also to interact with each other in a way that foster's the creative nature of the psyche by acting out your role in the universe.
Getting into character
Think about who your character is and what your goals are in the game. Do you want to rise in the ranks of the Imperium? Do you like to fight or simply be left alone to tinker in a workshop? Do you want to be viewed as a lovable care-bear or a bad-ass marine? By taking a few moments to think about questions like this, you will begin to formulate the character that you want to play. It is also recommended that each member of the Imperium take a few moments to write down some of this information. A back-story can go a long way in helping you get into your character and having this handy can make interactions easier.
Boundaries
Although it is hoped that the members of the Imperium will all be mature players. Maturity comes in many shapes and sizes (read ages) and so it is important to check the boundaries of the players you are interacting with before engaging in role-play that might be deemed illegal in some states. Take care to always be respectful.
DOs
- DO speak as your character, using words they’d use.
- DO use a voice you think works for the character. Sometimes a character might talk like you do in real life, but not always.
- DO use language to suggest the reasoning of your character’s actions.
- DO be conversational. If someone is speaking to your character, let that character respond in the way that feels right.
DON'Ts
- DON’T feel confined by yourself and your own voice.
- DON’T use third person statements. If your character is speaking, then you should make sure that we hear the character talking, not your description of it.
- DON’T make threats towards the person behind the character, if anger is driving you to rage quit or verbally abuse someone, take a break.
- DON’T OVERDO IT. This is roleplaying, not Shakespeare.
Recruitment & Membership
Until factions comes to Space Engineers, Vanguard Imperium will use Steam's group mechanism for membership and organization. Mature players only, please.
