EVE Fiction

This was originally posted in the New Player Q&A, but it was suggested I post here:

As a relative new player - just over 2 months - I've decided I would like to get involved in more of a roleplaying aspect, at least for myself. I have started a blog documenting Malachite's adventures, written in first person. It is in the very early stages, so It would be easy to make any necessary changes. My intent is for it to be something like a ships log. My dilemma is this:

As a pilot, I would have certain knowledge of New Eden. Especially of my race and the history of the area I grew up in.

As a player, I don't have any of this knowledge... yet.

In an attempt to make sense of this I decided that there was some sort of data corruption during my last medical clone transfer which resulted in partial amnesia. Malachite can remember his name and family, but cannot remember any of the history of New Eden. I could also use this to explain why something isn't known by my pilot that normally should be. He is now on a quest to regain those memories.

My question is would this conform with current canon? If not, what are some other suggestions that would account for the knowledge gap?

I have read the books prior to "Templar One" and I am reading it currently. I am also reading Mark726's "Lore Survival Guide".

Thanks.

When I started doing any rp thing I really didn't know much, as a result I made a persona that was pretty immature and really was just gullible on anything to cover that fact. As I read (as your doing) I just looked at what was happening in game (got referred to as a spy on militia chat for instance) and built it into my story. You don't need every little aspect fleshed out. To get out of the initial personality mask for my lack of knowledge my character matured due to the environment (joining a cfc corp and then a lowsec pirate corp gave my character a more hardened outlook as opposed to before and also a minor drug problem but that's beside the point) and aspects of the lore and other things slowly entered into everything. It's easy to get the finer details into your own story its just a matter of evolving your character. As part of that even after as a player I knew more lore, my character still doesn't. Questions Amarr players on religious things though honestly as a player I know.

Well, hope that helps.
