I'm new to the whole multi-player Stars! thing, but I've noticed that many people like to have some degree of role-playing in their games. I was wondering if most players who role-play just use it to make their messages more interesting or if they try and maintain a consistent character. It seems to me that maintaining a character is very difficult if some of the players aren't role-playing. It also occurs to me that your character might not be inclined to follow the best strategies (ie. your character keeps attacking one race no matter the cost because they called him short and he's got a thing about his height). So do people have full role-playing games and try to win within the restrictions of their character or does the character go out the window when the game is on the line?

I thought it might be interesting to try a game where everyone role-plays and a character is defined ahead of time (by the host and/or player) and the player tries to play the game as the character. I figure you could have certain traits (aggressive, cowardly, indecisive, etc.) and maybe even some kind of history (ie. a character had a traumatic childhood experience with a frog and another race looks like frogs). Of course there would be no way to enforce that, but would there be interest in that sort of game? Or do those games already exist and I just haven't noticed yet?
