This idea is wonderful, and i have to admit that i've wanted something similar from the beginning. It's not as if we're asking for custom ship skins or anything. Text takes up very, very little bandwidth. I would suggest, however, that the character description have some basic fields so that someone can get the feel for someone else's character at a glance. These would include the CURRENT VESSEL'S NAME (would *really* like this! what's the point of giving my ship an awesome name if i'm the only one that can see it?!), the primary occupation of the character (miner, fighter, explorer, pirate, scavenger, bounty-hunter, freelancer, etc.), number of npc pirate kills (could be referenced from Wallet records easily), number of player starships destroyed, number of pod-kills, number of systems explored, etc. Then below these fields would be a paragraph or two description with a reasonable amount of space to flesh-out your character. No 30 typed-character limits, CCP! Would be very frustrating! Also, it should be easily editable, as repeatedly and often as the player wishes, and should be information that is checked by other players' computers each time they check that character's info, and not cached. Any changes to a person's bio are immediately apparent. A person can start out as a small time miner, and then move onto bounty hunting if they like. How embarassing to be a fearsome hunter of intersteller scum with a bio for some guy cutting up bits of space rock with a plasma laser and some rusty drones... :D
Just some suggestions. Take what you like and leave the rest...

I am all for it. Makes for good roleplaying. Could help promote individual services, Corporation recruitments ads, customer ads, and player intentions.

Woot great idea--I like it especially if they added your skills number of kills and maybe medals for number of pirate kills and such so when you apply for a corp they can look you up see that you have great skills and am expierenced at killing, sort of like a resume.
Then they could say yes he is experieced and then look and next application and see well this person is new we want the experienced one. |

This is a good idea. We meant to do something like this, remeniscent of the old character sheets in pencil based role-playing games.
Consider this added to our tasklist and to be implimented in as soon as possible.

Torfi, is it possible to combine this with a forum profile?
Thus, character profile on forum = database information for the character?

Yes, good idea.
It's possible that in writing a description of their char, some people may suddenly discover a whole field of RP they hadn't realised? :)

The best part of this thread was Ubersquid - "Don't believe his lies" - almost wet my all-encompassing pants.
The character info is a sweet idea too. Glad you're looking into it.

I think we will start with having it forum profile only. It's less programming ( fix0ring bugs big priority here ). But yes, in-game definetly as well asap.
