- Journal. (The character writing journal and happenings on his own point of view.)
- 3rd person view. (Writing the story as if you were third person in there.)
- Memory. (Writing story as if it's tale told in future)
- Simple IC. (Just writing as if you're the character, but not same as the journal since it'd be more like telling while it's happening rather than later that evening)
- Witness story. (Get others write the story about your character from their side)
- Picture story. (make pictures to tell the story... think about comic of your character... of course not everyone can draw)
It's also good idea to think how much you'll tell in stories... shrouding some details to keep people on their toes and that some can't metagame it all (although metagaming is naturally forbidden)... in example your character gets key to <insert faction name> and would abuse it to make devastation against the faction... you could simply write:
".. Jack got the tiny object from hands of Bob, he looked it once more and flashed a grin. ''It's time to show <insert guild name> what I really can do if I'm angered'' after this he stashed the object to secure place.."
