[@Altered Tundra] Technically it's optional so you don't even have to do it at all. It's just there for people who love seeing the progression of the RP change relations or how they thought it was going to be or those who are a little unsure of where to start off in the RP can find a little jumping point. [s]You could even just secretly PM the people who created the characters you think yours will interact with the most or the ones you found most intriguing if you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by not getting to their character.[/s]
