[Gesslar]

When I create my characters' long descriptions I try to write it in the style of how a novelist might describe them. I never ever describe other players' reactions to my character. I've read many descriptions that look more like D&D descriptions (like the narrative you might expect a DM to read with some "You see"s in them). I don't really like that style, but that's merely personal opinion.

On the MUD I play/dev short descriptions for players are titles. Famous (powerful) players can pick their own, mostly.
