Just to clarify, as it must be pretty confusing– MCR in many games people *do* choose what we call "in-game" roles (or "occupations") appropriate to the setting– e.g. in the last game we were supposed to be a village in Rohan, and I was a horse-trader, G55 was a tapestry weaver, Shasta and Sally were wandering minstrels and so on. And generally we do post in character least at at the start of the game.

However, the important thing to remember is that your "in-game" role is *entirely* separate from your real, secret role (Ordo, Werewolf, Ranger etc.). For which, see the Guidelines.
