The physical description should not (directly) tell anyone about your character's past, alignment, etc. It should describe what someone would see if they looked at you. This may hint at your past (expensive clothes and a regal bearing might hint at a wealthy upbringing, etc.), but too many people include their character's entire life history in the freakin' description. If you are truly a good roleplayer, you get across background and beliefs in other ways. > Through out the land I have wondered. Pondering where to go and what to do with my life now I have come to the task of completeing a good description. How can I feel sure of my description, when no one reads them, People are only looking at evil and good, they do not look at the past of a persons life to see where there heart lies. How can you judge if one is truely evil or good if they do not look at there desc. Many time i have seen people slain for no reason at all this is a role-playing game.
