It's back. Admittedly, I haven't had the time to get fully involved in an RPG for about six months now - saaad - but I hereby hand this thread over to the new generation of RPGers! Share, do: your favourite RPG characters, your own and other players', your favourite RPGers themselves, and reasons why.
For a quick, updated version, I was recently skimming through a few old threads, and came across the last game I was involved in, and sadly neglected near the end, I'm sorry to say. But it had some remarkable characters in it! I've always been a fan of corsair RPGs, such as the Ambassador's Son, but
Numenorean Blood Runs Black was a fantastically enjoyable game to play in.
Anguirel, ever a joy, came out with a perfectly wicked character: Sangalazin. Evil, thou knowst know wisdom until you've taken a leaf out of
this guy's book...and yet, at the same time, he was both beautiful and charming. The embodiement of the spoilt brat of the richest king in the world. And Anguirel himself - you're a marvel to play with: reliable, creative and dependable, as well as having such a wit - 'banter', I believe you Southerners would call it...
On my own side, I can add to my repertoire a new favourite character to play, or one of my favourites at least:
Captain Chatazrakin Telmenzar, or merely Rakin for short. Ooh, I do love playing pirates - v. fun.
And I don't know why I didn't previously mention this - I suppose I concentrated mainly on the characters of the now-extinct Green Dragon in my last post - but the games
Shadow of the West and
The Ambassador's Son as well. Two excellently constructed games that allowed me to play around with excellent characters and settings. Extraspecial mentions do, however, go to
Maikafanawen and Nuranar for creating that game (there were too many brilliant characters and writers to pinpoint one or two - Devon, Jythralo, Adeline, Calnan...); and to
Fordim , of course, for the Shadow: he makes an excellent baddie! And my particularly 'co-actor',
Firefoot: always one of my favourite RPGers...
Good times.
