Characters you'd Like to Play

Kamen Rider Double as a fusion between a Solar and Lunar Exalt. Of course, I'd need to convince someone to be the other half.

And Dr. Caligari for Genius The Transgression.

An useless name, a forsaken connection.

Despite my natural instinct for designing walking doom machines I've always been interested in soft-er power. Diplomacy, money, that sort of thing.

I've mentioned in the Exalted thread, I'd love to do a maxed-out Bureaucracy ultra-wealthy Eclipse Caste, and call him Jadefinger...

And, Fading Suns would seem to be better than most for this sort of thing; half your characters are Nobles, or rich Guildmembers, or something.

It's just, I'm not sure what the best way to play that kinda character. Shooting people is, at least, simple and straightforward.

Oh carp, what are you planning to do with such a party? Build a fortress?!

No, their goal is to not die.

There's a trope for that.

The comics equivalent of PTSD.

Also, a helldwarf  ^*

My Phoenix clan samurai remade as an Adept Bodyguard for Shadowrun. Astral sight, spell resistance, maybe additional protection or perception boosts. Pistols, swords, automatics, basically the close range crap.

A Batman expy.

A Jack Bauer expy.

A Paladin in one of those games with a dick GM who takes every possible opportunity to try and make you a fallen Paladin. I will repay him with Ham and overacted drama.

Speaking of that, A Boisterous Bruiser of any shade. Infact, an evil boisterous bruiser, as I can't remember too many of those.

Since the last time I've played Dn D, I've acquired the ability to sing. Thus, I would like to play a Bard who chronicles the campaign in a soaring Tenor voice.

Those who accept their fate find happiness; those who defy it, glory.

...a Boisterous Bruiser in L 5 R is really hilarious. I started playing one and being a rowdy bastard while the rest of the party walks around on tiptoes is Crazy Awesome.

I've never played a gestalt character in D&D, but have always wanted to try one. I don't even have a firm template in mind, I just love multiclass characters and want to try the system out.

Logged: The commanding officer is aboard. XO Pressley stands relieved.

Good necromancers are possible, however good True Necromancers are not. It's in the class description that they can't be of a good alignment.

On the other hand, specializing in necromancy spells as a wizard does not require an alignment change at all. Yes, they can be Lawful Good and specialize in it. Although it'd be awkward in a regular campaign setting, though I'm sure they'd only use it to fight bad guys. Or turn undead(not the ability) on eachother.

Quest 64 thread

Due to a motivational poster I saw, I now want to play a Slayer Caste Infernal: not the enormous, axe-wielding psycopath kind, but a smaller, face-melting psycopath.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to give him face-melting powers...

There was an idea I had for a Fading Suns character: a kind of a Badass Preacher Batman expy. Only he's fighting sinners. Preferably with fists. And he would refer to himself as The Punishing Hand Of Lord.

[edit]

No, not as the canonical inquisitor. It's more like religious terrorist... Or better, a Belkar Bitterleaf with EVIL replaced by RIGHTEOUSNESS.

"Atheism is the religion whose followers are easiest to troll"

Actually, forget Cruz, I want to play as Mizer.

Except then I'd have to work around his refusal to wear shoes.

Oh, wait, he has shoes in Yggdra Union every time he appears.

"Only now, after being besieged by a flock of talking ponies, did he really understand what he'd lost. "

And again a Badass Preacher is the character I'd like to play in Deadlands. Alternatively, there was a template I've seen, for an immigrant from my own place, which looked like fun.

"Atheism is the religion whose followers are easiest to troll"

Polish immigrant? No way. Jewish refugee or potato farmer?

Nope, a genuine sabre-waving, horse-riding post-January Uprising political refugee ex-rebel.

"Atheism is the religion whose followers are easiest to troll"

Now THAT'S awesome.

I've had this idea for a D&D character kicking around in the back of my head for a long time; an elvish general who sees battle as an art form and is constantly seeking inspiration for new tactics and maneuvers, and stronger opponents to test his mettle against.

A fighter who can Detect Magic. Since Detect Magic is part of the Arcana skill and not a spell in 4e, it's easy to get with a background benefit. If you don't dump your intelligence, it could work.

Now that I think of it, playing an atypical, yet still Lawful Good, Paladin would be cool. I'd be thinking equal parts Michael Carpenter and Kamina

I have always thought that I would love to play a bard in Shadowrun. Yes, I know there's no such thing but there can be. Most likely a band of mages (no, literally, a band, probably a Nightwish knock-off) form their own magical group with strictures involving learning Centering as your first metamagic skill to use with your musical abilities and taking geasa relating to playing music while using magic.

In addition there will probably be an oath requirement along the lines of "I swear by the power of magic itself that I shall rock until I drop and am never gonna stop" and note that this oath, as a stricture of a magical group, is magically enforced. Once you take it, there will be penalties if you give up your music.

Of course, I could see this becoming a problem if you get sent on a stealth mission. But it's hilarious.

I've always thought that if I ever got into a game of Exalted, I'd like to play a Twilight-caste Adventurer Archaeologist. If I could find a martial art that makes use of a whip, so much the better.

Ah, the good old Twilight Archaeologist... Still want to pull mine out of the bag, though he's a reaper daiklave man (as are the vast majority of my characters...).

For whips, you've pretty much just got Laughing Wounds and Dreaming Pearl Courtesan, unless you can get to Autochthonia and learn Live Wire.

My current favorite character idea is for the Dresden Files Tabletop RPG.

He'll be a white court vampire, and a Michael Jackson knock-off.
