Samantha is one of the most richest chars ingame, also one of the most powerful. noone wears bether clothes and jewelry than her. with ease she could bring havok over the town if it would be what she wants. She holds more power in her hand than most others ever may gather.Why does this have to change? Although Samantha may have once been a noble, she lost everything that made her a noble when she came to Trollsbane. No money, and no power. Apart from behavior, Samantha is a commoner, and it's not your behavior that ever makes you a noble, it's your influence. Nobles either became nobles through inheritance, or plain struggle. They had to work for it, or they were born into it, and there's nothing to be born into on Gobaith.
But the peoples ignore that. Someone insults her, samantha waves with her hand and he lands many metre away in the dirt. what does he do? he stands up and continues to insult her. she could bring him incredible pain, but he ignores it. because it means nothing to the player. he plays his char without fear of pain and dead. my chars would show respect infront of a char who could easily burn my skin away while i am alive. respect someone who holds incredible magic powers. but no, not the heros of others. Samantha rescued in the past many times the town. she saved the lifes of rothman and his guards and knights when orcs attacked. she did enough that should earn her respect. she got announced archmage of gobaith by the archmages of lor-angur.
Does that mean anything to all the others? no. why? because samantha is not the buddy like. who gives you nicknames, hugs you and is the whole time over miss friendly. because she demands respect and also etiquettes everyone dislikes her, even after she did so many things and reached so much. samantha is a serious and hard woman. someone who doesnt run around laughing and makes jokes the whole time over. who calls you "old buddy" or so and allows everyone to call her sam, sammy or samantha. She is a devoted follower of Zhambra, and for her just her real friends can call her by the forname.
does that count for anyone? no. she is not miss friendly to me, so i ignore everything else. my char ignores her power, her good doings, her status, her nobility and everything else. just because she doesnt allow me to call her by her forname.
The most players ignore the whole roleplay aspect, and show bad roleplay because they ignore everything that happened, and that is. they ignore all the facts that should influence his roleplay, because he does what he wants, dont showing respect to any other things that should influence his chars behaviour.
