Let's Give Each Other Ideas

[FantasyWriter]

Post it yourself?

[Heade]

I may do so on my next character.

[Aruven]

That f**king weirdo who breaks into his friends' apartments, just to chill and eat some of their food.

lol

'OOC consent for graphic violence i want to power emote mutilating you with these three empty mugs and maybe other objects in a one-sided tavern brawl gone horribly wrong, do you want to do that?

A southside Allanaki with a couple of fruit loops where their brain used to be, who regularly frequents rinthi taverns, and on both sides of the rinth as well. Are they dangerous on of themselves? So that's like, two or three ideas right there.

For the sane approach: Are they looking for something or someone? Are they hiding from somebody? When was the last time you saw or played a southerner or mul hiding in the rinth from that damned militia? Join the Byn, hand them three small you stole off of somebody, pack four sacks full of rations (over the course of a few weeks, of course, to keep the cook from getting animated and calling in suspicions) and make for the narrows. Good, good times.

Even better: do the same thing, but sneak into the Byn rather than joining up. Bonus points if you manage to snag an aba and patch from somewhere. This is not so hard if you are both knowledgeable and lucky. Well okay it is hard. But you can do it, I believe in you.

[Evoru]

A dwarf with the focus of starting a package delivery service. Chooses the unfortunate personal motto "They'll Get What They Deserve" and has always been fond of wearing imposing clothes, yet is terribly confused when they are inevitably believed to be someone who does merc work.

[Aruven]

-A wagon builder that wants to build a giant salt-collector.
-See above that wants to build a giant sid/spice collector.

-A sadistic templar/noble that experiments on their minions.

-A grabber, lunatic, who believes they are some form of wildlife (Kryl, Mantis, Gurth)

-A guy who says he's a mage and just wants to get a gem, and have a community, but he's just a regular joe.

-A character with a handicap (one leg, blind, mute, deaf)

-Or just give them a quirk. You know, maybe your character just likes to smell everyone, like nostril to fabric inhales. Or maybe you just, pet people. Who knows? Get abnormal.

[Delirium]

But not so abnormal and/or uncontrolled that people wonder how your PC survived childhood.

[Harmless]

A character who exhibits the signs of schizophrenia approximately 1 IC day after character creation, suddenly. ;P

[i love toilets]

An elf whose whole life is a tragic tale of especially gruesome consequences of racial oppression. Basically, they can easily blame their whole unlucky life on racism.

They get a hankering for revenge on the whole human race. They might feel comraderie with dwarves and giants for their shared suffering, or hate them for their part in crushing the elven underclass. Maybe as they attain Byn training/rise up in the ranks of the Akai, this part of their perception changes. Maybe, in their eternal struggle, they become racist themselves---- start seeing dwarves as crazy, simple-minded idiots, and begin to include dwarves in their racial revenge. Maybe they get the idea that the world they envision does not have breeds in it. Slowly turning into what they hate, as they begin to think of this new elven clan/independent merc or trading group they've come up with, even a revolutionary group. As they form plans it becomes obvious that all they're really doing is envisioning a world in which elves and humans switch sides, maybe one that's even more racist.

You could do this as a quick-and-ugly character, someone who speaks up in the tavern, in the manner according with what city they're in, and gets dragged off after two to four RL days. Maybe you actually tried before letting your rage get the better of you, maybe you have a byn patch on or something, which might lead to some nice rp after you're dead. Maybe you plan and wait but act rashly before its time, isolating the Byn or Akai since you've spent time with them and rose a rank or two, but not enough.

Or maybe you really did do it all, controlled your emotions and allowed time to make you more powerful. You've made friends with influence who will help you, or look the other way. Hit the jackpot, a couple of them really believe in what you're doing, and one of them tells you they're willing to die for it. That'd be a nice player-driven rpt, yeah? I'm not sure, though, that an elf could get to this particular point in Allanak, what with the Byn being the Byn and no elf clan open.

[Puppy]

Three people get together on the following idea:

One creates a character named "Preesht"

One creates a character named "Nhun"

One creates a character named "Ruhbai"

Then, of course, they all walk into a bar.  Test the RP focus of the other characters.

Now I'm going here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91DSNL1BEeY

[ale six]

A character named Vienne Peecee, who is the most common and average person ever. Despite her best efforts, she can never get noticed by anyone important and is often totally ignored at the bar. On the plus side, nobody seems to notice her when they are doing shady things or having sexy times in public places.

[Delirium]

The fatal flaw with your concept is the word "she", alesix.

Poor Vienne Peecee would have her name shortened to Peecee in no time flat -- unless you made her a him.

An honest to goodness town crier / gossip. Your job is to spread ALL THE NEWS. Amos is looking for a sparring partner? You'll tell the whole Gaj, three times an IC day.* Lady Jokesy Fale is throwing a party? Nobody will fail to know. Rumor has it Lord Templar Sleazo has a half-elven lover? Well, that's what rumor has, then! Hey, you're just the messenger - true or false, flattering or not, the people must know the news.** Sooner or later folk will start paying you to spread news for them - the more sid, the longer you remember, the louder you shout, and the more taverns you visit! Put the bulletin boards to shame - who needs em? This is all you, baby.

*For best results, requires high playtimes.
**Be prepared for a quick and bloody execution if the local templars don't appreciate your devotion to keeping the masses well informed.

I've wanted someone to play this sort of thing for so very long.

[FantasyWriter]

Do it.

[i love toilets]

Having held metal in your initial background.

Having killed somebody in your initial background, and never having regretted it. Feeling strange about that, maybe, since you're pretty much normal in every other way, but, what's done is done. Consequences down the road? Confusion about yourself?

Being part of a tribe that's lived outside the known for a couple of centuries and been whittled down by the elements into a desperate few, or maybe you're all that's left. You'd have to know, obviously, a few things about where you came from. Maybe you've got a couple of brats with you, and you plan to get the tribe back on its feet one day, maybe even back into where you came from. Maybe as you continue scraping by you slowly forget this goal and become more and more concerned on a daily basis with things like picking enough cotton to get everyone a bun for dinner.

A tribal who takes skellebaine in order to experience prophetic visions. One day, they get a vision of someone who is probably completely fucking harmless going on a murderous rampage, or something equally self-damning.

[Bushranger]

Someone who grew up deep underground in a Vault that was built during the glory years of the Empire of Man and protected their ancestors from The Dragon. Now the vault's last water elementalist has died and the Vault Overseer has tasked this Vault Dweller with seeking out one or more water elementalists that can be trusted to provide for the underground community. They emerge to find that the Known World has transformed greatly since the Empire of Man.

Ofcourse the background will have to be narrated by Ron Perlman and begin "War, war never changes..."

Is this from Fallout or the Last Airbender, or a conjunction of the two?

What is the Last Airbender?

If you replace elementalist with chip and The Dragon with Thermonuclear War you have the exact plot of Fallout.

[MeTekillot]

The Last Airbender

[evilcabbage]

A sorcerer who seeks The True Dragon, to defeat him in magickal combat.

[Chettaman]

You seek the dragon to make a wish so you can bring back that friend of yours that keeps dying.

I know I put up a survival mode pc idea before but that was for a common laborer citizen whose highlight of the day is usually tavern hours...

Hardcore fighter type: never going to manifest gicker, or merchant, or burglar, or whatever, something you personally feel sucks. Roll strength lowest. Join the militia or Byn. Become badass, or die trying. I would say roll wisdom low and get a noncombatant subguild but I don't know if I'd be able to do that, personally. Little too hardcore.
