Favorite Roleplaying Characters!

[Mithadan]

For some reason, I never perused this thread until now. I see that a couple of my characters have been mentioned, most astonishingly by people reading the RPGs rather than having played in them (Sophia, if you want to really use up some time, check out the original Star RPG threads).

I've never been able to consider "Mithadan" a character because he actually started out as me in a party thread. Two months later, when the RPG that developed turned into a real plotted game I sat down and wrote a background for him that explained his personality in Middle Earth terms. But because he evolved, rather than having been created, I can't say he's my favorite.

I'm very fond of Gravlox from The Revenge of the Entish Bow, because he started out as a foil for the main characters and ended up as a significant part of the plot. Too bad he's dead.

I liked Nardol from Castle Maladil in the beginning. He was an Elf with a dark past who hated himself and everyone else, but especially Men. However, I made the mistake of letting him be "healed" and he lost his depth and his direction as a result. I may recreate him sometime.

An outstanding character, actually a shared NPC (non-player character), was Angara the dragon from The Lonely Star. Each of us contributed something to her and her development and depth was astonishing.

All of the Star and Entish Bow characters were fun and interesting. Varda and Aylwen's characters from Maladil were also great. Outside of RPGs I've been in, and I confess that I've read fewer than I should, I really like Melost, Arthain and Anwanelme from the Brotherhood RPG in Rohan. If you follow one RPG other than your own, keep an eye on Brotherhood!
