I keep my RP separate from the main story line. I just go through the motions of the story line OOC'ly cause its fun. RP wise, my character is from one of the small villages in the Black Shroud and is much less 'awesome' then the main story line would lead me to believe, but I like it that way. I prefer to RP my toons as those who are much more down to earth than your common mary sues.
