Favorite Roleplaying Characters! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think that it may be time to resurrect this great thread.

For myself: it's hard to decide which of my own characters is my favourite -- it's like choosing a favourite child! But I suppose I would have to say that my very first character, the one I invented for my first post on the Downs at the Green Dragon, has a special place in my heart. Snaveling began as a rogue and and vagabond, but through his interactions with other gifted gamers he soon evolved into something far more interesting...Tar-Corondir, as he is now known, continues to surprise me.

As to a favourite character from someone else, it is even harder to single one out. I am loathe to do so even, for fear of appearing as though there were not a whole slew of incredible characters in the rpgs I've been fortunate to play in. But of them all, I would have to say that probably my very favourite is Bethberry's Queen Bekah from Shadow of the West. Bekah was everything one wants in an rpg character: compelling, complex and powerfully drawn. Even her death gave the game whole new directions and dictated much of what happened later.

EDIT I could not resist coming back to put in a special word of awe, regard and gratitude to Aman for her Innkeeper persona at the Green Dragon. My most enjoyable gaming experiences have all come in reaction to that wonderful maiden.
