If you could play any role with no expectation of them living past two weeks, what would you do? Go!

Grebber - One who grebs.

Pick-pocket, spice-smuggling/dealing elf with annoying tics, like twitching.

I feel like a Rinthi, Mutant Necker might be a shorter role.
Part-Time Internets Lady

An insane, treasonous elderly person in either city-state with nothing left to live for, and thus who has no qualms about mouthing off to nobility/Templars/other authority figures!

Should make two weeks seem like a generous expectation.  :)

Hahah, no idea why, but that one made me laugh my ass off.

I actually have a role in mind, for when this character dies, if I have enough karma by that time. Basically, its going to be a magicker that publicly manifests. Not one that does it in front of trusted people, who hopes to live from it. Someone who just outright like, in front of a Templar just goes berserk and like, throws a fireball at their face or something.

Because I mean, thats GOT to happen sometimes, right?

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

halfling robot sent from the past to be mechanically inhanced in the the future then sent back to wipe out the monsters that took over the grey forest.

A 'giker who can only learn new magick by losing a limb for each new spell he gains.
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

Tuluki musician that refuses to "sell out" to the circle.

You've got an advanced case of <Zalanthan disease>. You've been <throwing up blood/passing out/seeing bright lights/having minor strokes>.

You just know you've got a month left to live. You can feel it in your bones.

What do you do?

Any sort of rotten villain to spice things up for the militia.

The secret to great RP is having the balls to be weird and the brains to make it eloquent.

A genuinely nice person.
Quote from: Cutthroat on August 22, 2009, 10:57:13 PMSo Eunoli Winrothol, Samos Rennik, and Thrain Ironsword walk into a bar. The Red Fang bartender looks up and says, "Get the fuck out of my bar."

Demon-worshippers. I'm sure they exist, right? I'm sure there's NPCs, vNPCs and PCs who worship demons. Why not you? :)

Also: someone who disagrees with a certain aspect of the city-state they live and are part of the masses rallying against it (anti-elementalist quarter is a good one - Senate is filled with this debate every single year, and every year it gets barely turned down, apparently).

Goat porn is not prohibited in the Highlord's city.

Well last time , while I waited on a d-elf app, I just sat in a bar for 2 weeks , catching up on city affairs.  :(

Next time? Load a c-elf burglar acrobat with agility and send it down the sewers. There's other places I'd like to explore, but they'd take solid skills to get there. Unless I'm allowed a quickie whiran.

Zalanthas seems to have worn all rebellion, insanity and fanaticism out of me.

Guy who is utterly convinced he is the Highlord/Sun King/Sandlord and goes about acting the part.

Pretty much my usual character concept. If they live past 2 weeks, I'm doing something wrong.

This is sort of true. Two weeks is kids gloves. Hell I can hardly maintain that when I'm trying :P.

I'd spend the first ten days training my ranger on weak wildlife/sparring in the militia and then flee into the wilderness for an initial background reason, exploring the awesomeness. Can't really think of an area I haven't explored to some extent that doesn't require mad skills, so there's probably three options at my disposal.
Eat your fries with mayonnaise next time

A dirty beggar.  Create, junk all starting gear but clothing, park inside or outside of a tavern and try to survive on handouts.  I thinkI'd find it hard to play one for more than two weeks, but those two weeks would be awesome.
