Do you want a cameo?

Hey there Heroes. I hope you've read the Mythic Chase story from the Valentines event. If you haven't, you can go to the game and find the button for "Lore", inside that you will find all the official canon stories for Heroes Rising thus far. I plan on adding more, so keep watching.


If you have read the story, you will notice that peoples game characters ended up as cameos. Some got a little more screen time than others, but I tried to include several. This game is made possible by you and we want you to be part of the storytelling. 

A month ago we implemented a new minor feature to the Character bio page, the character sheet. This new device gave all players a handy, easy way to flesh our their characters without having to
write a lengthy story. Some people just don't like writing stories....go figure. This wasn't just for fun, this was actually an idea of mine so that I could harness some of the players characters to put into the game. A name and avatar is not much to go on. I don't want to write something completely different than what you feel your character is. So, with that little character sheet, I can know a general idea of who and what your hero is.

Perhaps you don't want to be in the story, or simply don't care. That's okay. However, if you do want a cameo, I need to know. Fill out your Character sheet appropriately and then let me know you wouldn't mind being included. What do I mean "appropriately" ? Well, some people have use the sheet to put in rather adult jokes and silliness. I won't use your character if you only fill the sheet with sex jokes and adult innuendo. (I am not prudish. I have read one that included the fact that their hero spent their off time getting laid. It didn't keep me from using the hero in the story, but I probably won't include that little detail.)  You have to put a little effort in. I have thousands of choices, make me want to use yours. 

The final point is that these are rather short stories, roughly 6000 words. I don't have a lot of room to work with. So, most players will get a brief cameo. I will use some for bigger parts simply because the story needs them, but don't feel any favoritism is involved. I am crafting a story, that is all. If you want a longer, more involved story about your character, write it and post it to the fan fiction forum. You can earn free powers worth good mp for doing so.
