149928-need-input-for-chua-rp-character

== Content ==
			
Hey all! I'm pretty new to wildstar in general, but I'm quickly becoming hooked on the game and I'd love to connect with the community through RP. I have a Chua character that I'd like to work on, but I know very little about their lore and culture beyond what I've seen so far in game (nutty little rodents with a serious science *cupcake*). I have a few details in mind I'd like to apply to the character, but if any of it isn't chua-like please smack me upside the head and tell me what's what. Aside from that, I would absolutely love any input anyone has to offer!
 
I was thinking of having Mav here be malcontent with the dominion, but too afraid to defect or leave for fear of punishment. The reason for his dissatisfaction could stem from mistreatment or (since I'm not a fan of that cop out), a general unrest over being restricted by laws and codes. I already have him set with the explorer path, so he's got some crazy bad wanderlust and a need to see whatever lies beyond the restrictions set in place. Mav isn't social, and prefers working alone. He doesn't make many enemies, but when he does he chases them with unbroken persistence until they either expire or they manage to make him think they've expired (the latter is unlikely but possible). He incredibly paranoid, worried that some day the dominion won't have any more use for him or his kind. This may also add to the reason for his malcontent. On the subject of exiles, he's indifferent towards them. It doesn't bother him if a few of his comrades fall in the line of duty. The way he sees it, if they died then clearly they weren't as clever as him. He won't go out of his way to hunt down an exile, but he won't hesitate to give them the "chua treatment" if they get in his way. On the other hand, he isn't above talking and working out a deal if he thinks it's in his favor.

			Seems believably chua-like. These parts especially seems to be common throughout chua culture: "a general unrest over being restricted by laws and codes". "It doesn't bother him if a few of his comrades fall in the line of duty. The way he sees it, if they died then clearly they weren't as clever as him." and chua seem to be fond of using fear to get their minions to fall in line.

			Neat!

You will be hated automatically OOC then excused for you not being "nice" IC.  
 
But sounds pretty well rounded disgruntled Chua having-to-rebuilt-tanks-with-protostar-parts character to me.

Your idea was not too different from my Chua.
My Chua was a lone operative, believing in the old traditions of the ancient Chua in regards to the moons Pago and Pergo.
Also not satisfied with the Dominion way of doing things, or rather not caring would be the better description.
 
It's definitely possible to play outside the box so to say.
You just need to find some good roleplayers that can help you support your background story and can hook in on it.
Making friends is important as well.
 
And those hating on you for playing with the Lore like this : screw em.
You play your character how you want to, and if somebody doesn't like it, that's their problem.

Recently I've discovered that a lot of Chua RP'ers are... really bad. And they are jerks OOC to boot. Although I could understand being confused IC due to attention span going haywire, being a doosh in OOC chat is pretty disrespectful. And sadly, these are the "Chua RP Pillars of the community", almost a Napoleon-Complex with the lot of them and they should be knocked down a few pegs before they take over and rule a community before tearing it apart. Like "HOW DARE YOU RP WITH ME!" and such. It's a tragic comedy really but I have some ideas for them if they would like to make friends and listen.
 
Hope your experience is better than mine!
