> Roleplay isn't what you make the character, it's what the character makes you. I say this because you can't make your character come back from the dead so you have your old armor back, you have to get from that shrine to your corpse and hope to hell no one looted it. Roleplay is when you get banned from a cabal and you can't mold that, your character molds around you and puts decisions into your mind. For a lot of people like myself this is a life I would love to live, sure it sounds hard but I can already fight with my hands and a Staff.
