[Hoxtalicious]

As a curiosity really, interested to hear about the characters of other people. So, please, for everyone's better enjoyment, post the game/edition and relevant info on the character.

So far I've had a..

Shadowrun Face, a smooth b*****d who worked a lot like the Faceman from the A-team did: Have one scam blow up in his face, blatantly roll with it and spin it into such a smarmy bullshit story that they didn't just buy, but utterly believed every word of it. Best example: I tried to steal a keycard from someone in a lobby, horribly failed at the usual sleigh of hand trick, then rolled an excellent conversation roll and could spin whatever lie I could come up with, so I told him I was a security contractor who was checking their security systems, commended him on paying attention to people not belonging to the company and I would like to talk to the head of security please, so here have a brochure. The character was also a team player, while the rest of the team.. wasn't. sweatdrop

Rogue Trader Seneschal / Rogue Trader in a custom setting. He started out as a weasely, smug, ladies man who only joined the Navy because if he ended up in the Guard he'd get fragged by his own troops. Over time I turned the character into a guy who is really good with a sword and dependable second in command / risk taker, in my final session cutting down an Ebon Geist warp daemon in one blow. I was also the guy who charged at a souped-up gun servitor instead of shooting it, much to the chagrin (and joy, because I could have died) of the others. Final session, best session ever, involved slipping into an ork fleet on silent running, going loud right in front of the enemy flagship, having a pointless shouting match with the big greenie in charge and then fighting our way out. I also got to go guns akimbo on said daemon, not that it was effective, but I always wanted to do that. Damn it, it was glorious and that's all that matters some times!

There's also Cyberpunk where I was a street samurai, that never really got anywhere. Also played a session of Only War as a commissar, I doubt that will go anywhere either.

Right now we're gearing towards a Pathfinder campaign where I'll be a gunslinger.

My most memorable characters were Ophelia Pyrex from Dark Heresy and Mira Starkiller from Rogue Trader.

Ophelia was an Arbitrator who was by far the longest living character in our campaign and the only character to survive from the very first session all the way to the end, when she was put into an asylum after the insanity points accrued reached a level where she was more bonkers and deranged than she had any right to be. She had an arm torn off, an eye gouged out and had seen too many friends die in front of her.

Mira Starkiller is my personal favourite, as she's very much me, but larger than life! redface I think we all more or less played our characters like that, with my character being a bit like Han Solo, but with a solid loyalty towards her employer. She was the personal pilot of the rogue trader in charge, had her own squadron of aces and was really good with a pair of pistols as well.

I had few characters. <.<

In a super-hero-fantasy-world game with Savage World + Superhero + Fantasy,
I was a Paladin-ish knight who pretty much became a king of a small nation in
followers view.
The story was that an old elfish nation who used to live in the lands of men,
came back and begun an nationwide invasion and retaking it by force.
The panthion of gods we´re not happy about this and began to search for
Champions to fend off the attackers and lead mens into war.
I was the champion of the high god. :3

In Dark Heresy I was a Mind-Scrubbed Techpriest,
who was hired to serve the inquisitor in an investigation of
problems on a planet involving a beast-master-guild,
necromorph-ish techpriests and genestealers.
My character has encountered few old friends from the past,
is seemingly an old friend to the inquisitor and former Heretech. sweatdrop
You might remember this little guy. :3

In Exalted I have 2 characters;
one is a Dragonblooded Kung-Fu monk, who´s adventure has been
on hiatus due to players not being able to join.
Shame really, in one adventure we we´re attacked by pirates,
my character kicked 2 guys thru the deck and chased their leader from the storage room and up thru the deck.
And I do mean THRU it, wooden splinters everywhere kinda punch-jump.

The other is a Solar Dawn Caste,
an commanding officer from the realms army,
now turned into mercenary due to exaltation.
He´s been wondering around looking for a new meaning to his new faith,
while working with a peasents who had formed an militia againts the tyrannic nobles.

I also had a character in a Necessary Evil expansion to Savage Worlds,
this sort of a Anti-Hero who single super-power is huuuge toughtness
and the fact that he never dies.
Longest memory he can recall was the time he discovered this special attribute
during the cave-men time.
He was a mean son-of-a-b*****, ruthless and vengeful if someone managed to
piss him off.
I mean, he killed one of the players characters (by his sanction btw,
he wasn´t happy with his choice and how the team was working with
the said character) simply because he decked him from behind and footed his face in sewer-water.

"Would you kindly?"

Fiiiiiiiine, was hoping for some kickass art to go with this all. crying

My fave character was the amazing rogue trader who was also a planetary governor and military commander with many victories and conquests to her name.

I did say "Would you kindly?" a lot, which meant that whoever I asked would get a bonus to the check in question.

Also, LEGEND OF THE EXPANSE. emotion_awesome

My most recent character(s?) was a cultist in Black Crusade. I made her/them with a split personality that would change every time I rolled a multiple of 10. One side, Aerona, was a renegade and a hard core Khornate. She loved a good sword fight and would always be the first to rush into battle. Blood for the Blood God and all... The other side, Maeve, was an apostate faithful to her lord Tzeentch. She was all about the plan and was quite the diplomat in times of need.

Both had some really good strengths and weaknesses which made playing them both really fun. Of course, they hated each other due to their opposing alignments and towards the end of the campaign it was a mad dash to see who would become the dominant personality. It was also a b***h and a half to have to "forget" everything that had just happened when I switched. But who doesn't like a good challenge, am I right?

In the end, Aerona ended up on top with some kick a** mutations and the title of Demon Princess. The best thing about them though? They managed to survive the entire campaign. From day one to the very final big boss fight, from little home invasions to full scale planetary war. Never have I felt so accomplished.
