The importance of character descriptions

From here on out, if your character does not have a fair and accurate description then you cannot Icly berate another character who treats you like a nobody. This goes for Noble Drow who run up on a scene and get treated like dirt because their house symbol isnt displayed. This also goes for Temple Clergy. If you keep the descriptions in Tells that's fine, but be sure to encourage new players to ask for descriptors so there aren't any awkward moments.

If I may say so, since it's linked to the topic, please read other people descriptions too... I'm a bit tired of explaining that NO, there's no way you "spotted" the fact that Beriel's a Tiefling, that he doesn't have horns, or those ridiculous creepy cat eyes.

I won't play any spot roll, sudden aggressive action, or fearful look from people who meet my char for the first time (except of course in Free Haven, since he display his awesome Tieflingness openly there.). It's just disrespectful.

[However, thanks for those who at least ASK before doing inconsiderate things. I can just link them to the description that give them a very precise Idea of what Beriel looks like.]

So can we edit the character description via the person in the lobby?
And if so..what other changes are made by that person?

I know that Shardek does not have a description on him. And this is the reason I ask.

Yes, in the ooc room in the back left corner is a lady that is the description changer.

I will work on a description for Shardek & his bio, since I plan on playing him more.

Since you did not say anything on my second question.. I assume that the only thing changed is the description...yes?

Yes.

I personally try to put my character's rank in the first line of the examine window description - would love it is other folks did as well

Added Shardek's description last night...first thing!
