With that being said, how long do you think that an adequate
introduction is for a role playing character is? Do you feel you've
successfully introduced your character after a single paragraph, a
five or six paragraph post, or a few longer posts like that?

This is more my curiousity on how everyone else who does role playing
online likes to introduce their characters. I feel no matter how much
you like to try otherwise, a character cant be adequately introduced
in your first post. They must evolve a bit over the series of the
first few posts to a group before you really cant get a good feel as a
player for who your character is, as well as share that with others.
