Well, you said it yourself. It\'s YOUR character. You will be laying the character for quite a while, so the decisions should be up to you. Play around with character creation to change stats but also write a backstory for your character as while in the game, roleplay is a major part.

What do I press in the game to write a story for my character? I love role playing.

Oh, by all means write your story out of the game in Text Edit (or the like) but always keep your character evolving. I find the best roleplay comes while playing, then I write down what I said abou my character In Game so I can keep his past consistent.

You can edit your character description though, which is a brief overview of what your character looks like, or what your character has done. Open up the Skills menu from the buttons while playing, click to the right of the eye icon (the icon for editing descriptions is missing) Then delete the text in the box that appears and write your own. After that, click the bottom =->LEFT<-= of the text box (the button to save is also missing). Try to keep what you put in there reasonable and in character. :)

Hope to see you around!

EDIT: Note the big giant left O.o

There should be some sort of \"modify description\" in the skill window if it has not changed recently.

Thanks to Seytra\'s Handy Tips (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=17156&boardid=17&styleid=4) if you follow his instructions you will see the buttons but don\'t forget the updater will wipe them out unless you change pemissions :)
