I could never play a boot licking Imperial. I don't think Imperials are supposed to be these humble, forgiving folk who just want to see their compadres do well. Some people do, but I have yet to see them be raised to a position of power. To advance in the Empire you have to talk a big game and in some ways present a big game.

Wilhath started out one way and changed because of what Onglaurst wanted. Onglaurst wanted his War Master to be "Ruhelethth," and so Wilhath became "Ruhelethth."

Yllorok was a Beroxxus follower. He wasn't going to hug you. He wasn't even going to like you because just like everybody else you were nothing but a future feast for Beroxxus. He's led a damned life so you're going to as well.

There's the IC explanation for why my past two characters may have come off as arrogant and cocky. As far as farewell posts are concerned I bring a certain amount of IC to them. OOC I know that Haaslett probably didn't get Emperor because he, Yanacek, and Faeras, aren't around as much as Astilamos. OOC I know that Anlon does what he can with what he's given (little useful assistance.) OOC I know that there is good reason for Jirash to assume every Imperial is a gangbanger who cannot stand alone because most are. Farewells are a character's farewell, not necessarily a player's farewell so I keep them relative to what the character thought.

So to sum up. My Imperials will always act like "king ####" because that's the way I see Imperials acting. My farewells are 75% IC. Wilhath was "Ruhelethth."
