True.

I also think that while starting with high stats is possible, sometimes the best stories are those who start off low-maybe incompetent-and raise stats to high level through a epic journey/trials/their life.

High stat starts are fine too, but one shouldn't forget those cool stories either.

That is basically Xi. He starts off with high stats but little capital, and uses it to his advantage, becoming extremely powerful through his wit alone. He started off his life as the son of a merchant and he will end it as Emperor of China.

Fine, just make a grand statue of me in pure gold. I'm not vain - well I am, just a bit, you can't not be vain when you're this good - but it's always good to keep a strong image for the peasants.

I'm surprised why most evil characters are chaotic evil. You'd think that - particularly Iin a democratic society which values freedom - lawful evil would be more common, but no.

Why so?

I want to China to basically become a anarchist paradise where the concept of a united China does not exist... I see the idea that something like China is to be conquered and ruled as a threat to peace and nature.... So I want to remove the idea of "China" from the world and replace it with "Nature".... Man will never be at peace so long as the political ideal of "China" exists

Puppets learn to pull strings but they'll never understand them.

Also, is the OOC basically a character lounge where we can talk as our characters but outside of the RP?

There shall never be peace until the world is united under one prince, under one leader. And I shall be that leader. Anarchism is the enemy of peace, after all.

I can't decide if my character is an anarchist or not, he is a bandit and someone who wants to destroy the Xia, but at the same time in the long run crown himself a king and rule

He isnt anarchist unless he is elected and leads a completely volunteer army.... Basically look at Makhno and the free territory of Ukraine as a guid for an anarchist military

Men will not act in a manner which is fundamentally good unless the social contract of society forces them to. Man is inherently selfish and greedy, and we must work as one nation to combat this. Anarchism is anarchy.
