Need a role.

Please and thank you... Give me all your best ideas.

Effete but murderous Salarri archer/merchant who loves to hunt and is obsessed with bows.

Human warrior/hunter (or warrior/mercenary, but that's unnecessary if you follow my career suggestion). Start 'em fairly young (16?); join the Byn; distinguish yourself; work into one of the noble house militias.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

A leather-clad misogynist gicker-hunter who dotes on his loving old ma'.

Quote from: lordcooper
You go south and one of the other directions that isn't north.  That is seriously the limit of my geographical knowledge of Arm.
Sarge?

A loincloth clad, eccentric merchant/nomad/linguist who likes to make things, sell things and travel the world.
Veni, vinci, voici.

I'm okay on my own.

Cut in. A bright-eyed young Arm conscript chases an elf down a dusty street, the cool night quiet but for the clap of boots on stone. Cornering the suspected burglar in an alleyway, the conscript steps forward to arrest the criminal - and out of the shadows come the rest of the elf's tribe. Cut out. Fade in. Tortured, brutalized, mangled, the conscript lies bleeding in the alleyway, drifting in and out of consciousness. Pan across his right hand, pan down - there's no arm. It ends at the wrist. He's missing an eye, his body is broken, and one leg is twisted beneath him. He's conscious again, his one remaining eye opens. Blood pools in the corner. Cut out.

Fade in. Twenty years later, a now middle-aged, bitter transient in Luirs questions the disappearance of his life-mate and business partner. Pan up to the man's face: his eyes are shut, he's cradling a mug of spiced ale in his hand. His eyes open - or, rather, his eye opens. It's the same man from the alley. His hand is gone, his sleeve pulls back as he lifts his mug up, baring a scarred, rough stump. Discharged from service in His Arm and set adrift after that fateful night, with few prospects and fewer body parts, he had wandered - restless, limping, noir. But eventually he had settled, and for a little while, he was happy. Fade out.

But now, sometimes, out of the corner of his eye he can see down dark alleys the glint of dull obsidian knives.
A dark-shelled scrab pinches at you, but you dodge out of the way.
A dark-shelled scrab brandishes its bone-handled, obsidian scimitar.
A dark-shelled scrab holds its bloodied wicked-edged, bone scimitar.

So it won't be suspicious. The beauty of the concept is how to make herself so alluring that everyone would want to pay.

For money. For food and water and revealing  clothing and a cheap apartment etc.

Zalanthans are racists.  They seem to believe every half-giant should be an axe-toting, skull-smashing killing machine.  I thought the concept was pretty win.  It was a lot of fun while it lasted.

The half-giant is a merchant who sells the services of the dwarf and is also friends with her. when people complain *squish*

Also, I'm now disturbed by the concept of a HG and a stump getting off.

Grim indeed, but I was thinking more about relative sizes.  A male HG and female stump = split stump as far as I'm concerned.

Fantastic work Wolfsong, I'm going to keep you in mind for a future roll. (grins)

As for new ideas...

Why not play a purebred human noble who's incredibly sexual in nature and wants to sleep with everyone they like and is diseased with lovebleed.

See how that works out for everyone.

Sex doesn't necessarily involve penetration.  That could lend new meaning to the term "pole dancing."

Because they are baby smooth down there, and drov, hair traps smell, so with that thinking, they could possibly smell better, with the sweet twang pungents of crotch rot.
