46661, Really bored and can't think of a cool persona.
Posted by Out of ideas for characters. on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Whoever gives me the best idea gets an old fashioned from Pro.

Lookinb for something interesting.

Something

Hilarious or
Badass or
Hard to pull off or
Creepy or
Insanely fun
46696, Can any of these ideas be used?

Posted by Valkenar on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
1: The desc was used before. These roles aren't.
2: The desc was taken without permission, these are here expressly for people to use

Bonus answer: These are just role outlines and ideas, not complete ready to go role entries.

Posted by Rayihn on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Big boobs, long legs, red lips, lots of blond hair, obnoxiously obviously a dude playing a girl desc. Sphere lust, all about lesbian equality rights. Trying to find your life partner. Possibly Empire as a way to make all that happen.
46693, I've done that.

As you set your sights on this massive and putrid smelling
orc, you first notice a scalp of some dumb blonde crudely
fashioned to her head. This orcs eyelashes flutter in a
sedecutive if not OCD manner as her hyped and lustful glare
catch your gaze. Her nose is obviously broken for being
a dirty, little, tramp of an orc by one of her competitive
mates. ssssss's lips are encrused with blood from her
last fill, giving her a luscious red makeover. A makeshift
selection of milk stained covering is filled to the brim by
her enormous set of breasts. On her arm is a crude tattoo of
a heart with the words, "Gaping".


Typical desc took me no more than four minutes to write.

Every fight is a win for you, no matter what happens. All lower case wounds are just a scratch. All caps are flesh wounds. Oblit and higher are calling it a draw. You are a knight and you are constantly convinced of your superiority at all times, and have never lost a fight, ever, no matter what.

46685, Sphere beauty Rayihn following Orc
Posted by laxman on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
You believe that the true path to power is to have all the world lust after your beauty and want to please you. Wear dresses, be dainty, but do it orc style (a bow made out of entrails, possibly stich together a new body suit like from silence of the lambs by cutting and pasting together sentences from the descriptions of your victims).

46686, This makes me wish there were half-orcs
Posted by Tac on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I believe in literature they are often pleasant-ish looking and would make more sense, though your idea has the hilarity factor for sure.
46669, How about...

L/E Tribunal Conjie, Disciple of Zurcon

You're a completely murderous lunatic who wants nothing more than the flat-out destruction of Thera.

But...
You have bills and owe some rather powerful entities more gold than you could reasonably expect to come up with in a lifetime, and you fear that they might make your afterlife more than unpleasant, so...

While plotting to unleash the ravenous demon-god who will eat the world, you have a 9-5 job as a cop. It doesn't pay well, but every little bit helps.

Posted by Daevryn on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Some random ideas:

1) Lowbie murder mage. Maybe you're a shifter who isn't satisfied to move onto his next form until he kills half a dozen people with his current form. Only bloodshed brings out the strongest animals or something.

2) Pick a really cliched cabal role, like you're an Outlander that's a former slave or a Fort guy whose parents were killed by necromancers or a Battle bard whose instruments were smashed by mages or a Scion necromancer who's actually possessed by a demon or something. Play it totally deadpan, like your character has no idea how ridiculous their concept is, and play the hell out of it.

3) Pull up the area list, close your eyes, and put your finger on an area. You're a guy from that area, whatever it is. If you got Abandoned Seige Encampment, maybe you're one of the soldiers there who left and decided to join Fort/Battle/Outlander to try to get support to fight the creatures there.

4) A Daevryn-religion concept interesting enough to make me want to interact with you on purpose. :P

Posted by lasentia on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Mages will do that, especially the elven ones. Though I would probably lose it laughing if I saw a gay duergar running around. Not that theres anything wrong with that.

The only villager I played had the enitre village encased in ice. They were preserved for eternity like cavemen.

Pffft. As if you interact with characters on purpose. Though that first shifter type could totally work with the religion (as far as I understand it, which probably isn't very far).

The real trouble is trying to decide how best to maximize your tattoo goodness...

If you were going to build a character to get the most benefit out of Daevryn tattoo goodness, what would you make? The best things I've come up with is sword spec or possible two-hander paladin. Something that can fight groups and gain benefit out of woopassness of that tatt powers. Help me powergame your religion? }(

> Pffft. As if you interact with characters on purpose. Though that first shifter type could totally work with the religion (as far as I understand it, which probably isn't very far).

I don't think it's an extremely complicated religion.

1) Daevryn almost always asks you to set some very specific goals and achieve them (e.g., "I'm going to kill 5 necromancers before level 30" rather than or in addition to "I'm going to try to wipe magic out"). They don't need to be violence-related goals, those are just the easiest examples.

2) You walk a line in that Daevryn doesn't like you if you pick easy things to try to accomplish or only will compete with weak people, but Daevryn also doesn't like it when you lose/fail.

Your stereotypical Tac character who takes on almost everybody and wins more than he loses would probably fit right in.

> best things I've come up with is sword spec or possible two-hander paladin.

Those would be pretty good picks. Orc/invoker/A-P/Bard I think could situationally be good too.

There's one or two specific possibilities (covered by either you or I above) that I think are not necessarily the strongest things that could have the tattoo, but would cause a lot of log board freak-out regardless.
46672, Who are the most recent guys you've tattooed?

Yea, I know. Olum got the tattoo (a few stereotypical Tac characters ago) but petered out when I couldn't really accomplish what I was hoping to do due to OOC and IC factors.

I considered trying for it with a specific build (Invoker), but then I remembered that I don't play those for a reason and because I wasn't sure if it would be worth the headache from the peanut gallery.
46678, Alright I'll use two of those ideas together mixed with the pro idea....mostly because..

Totally want to play a character with morbid eating habits.

Human ranger, sphere Gluttony

You like to make and try different foods. Often ridiculous foods. However, you have few, if any, social taboos regarding food.

Ask people disturbing questions. I.e. why don't they eat who they killed and why don't they eat fallen comrades (really, why let the meat go to waste!)

Tell them there are ways to prepare inedible meat to make it palatable. Regret loudly that you don't have time or required ingredients/spices to make your Trollburgers.

Every creature you come by, you first consider from a gastronomical point of view. Sentients are not exempt (if you are good, obviously you do not kill them but you can still eat them, see above).

Kill undead, mill their bones into meal and make pies using it. Claim they have invigorating properties.

Emote always chewing on something. Occasionally a human hand or something like that. Catch butterflies and eat them. If you are ever given flowers, chew on them instead of sniffing them.

For extra creepiness, you may add other morbid habits. For example, carry a skull and talk to it. Tell tales about how you had a big friend but now he is much smaller and doesn't talk much (because he is now a skull). Do mention that you ate him when he died and that he was tasty.

Join herald and become a cook. Make cookies. Make them tasty but unappetizing by the looks. Invent a good name for them, something like "Unicorn droppings".

Posted by DurNominator on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
As an arial, you are impatient and want to live your short life to the fullest. You want to soar freely in the sky within the wilds. You hate waiting and aren't very fond of civilization and bureaucracy for this reason. Your views are somewhat coloured by your religion, but these traits surface frequently. You are a chaotic soul. You live strongly in the now and do not plan your future far in advance. Your sphere is something impulsive and is certainly not Dedication, Judgement, Order, Reason. You will either join Outlander or Herald or stay uncaballed.

Suitable patron gods: Fjarn, Rayihn, Amaranthe, Neltouda, Whiysdan

Unsuitable patron gods: Baerinika, Zulghinlour, Daevryn, Enlilth, Akresius, Reksah, Scarabaeus.

Get a minotaur and role play a female one. Just like the female dwarves that have beard, you have something that males have! Try to find a giant and a way to get a child.
46677, This is a joke, right?
Posted by DurNominator on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
There are no female minotaurs in CF. And minotaurs should know that a human woman and the dark ritual is needed for their reproduction, so I don't see what the giant has to do with it.
