Favorite Roleplaying Characters!

[Rimbaud]

I have become attached to each of the few characters I've played here. The first, despite the 'train-wreck' ( [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Birdie) of an RPG, was an aged monkey, of very great wisdom, and I enjoyed that immensely. The most interesting perhaps is Guthrin, on the Rohan RPG; he is not of genesis mine, I picked him up at around the time of Rohan's second life. Flawed, sporadically and spontaneously heroic, soon to be dead; all good fun indeed.

It strikes me that to write a Tolkien-true role-play, you have to invest as much care in the creation (if not more) than the 'source' author. If you do not care for your character (and they do not have to be feelings of love, I think it is perfectly sensible to play or write a character that repulses you), then perhaps you should not be writing about that character at all.
