Ones that don't end in death are a plus. Also ones that one can do when tired in real life (so not too complicated, etc.) are plus too.

Overly devoted fan of another, somewhat powerful character. Like an innocent stalker looking for a father/mother figure.

Father/mother figure offering unsolicited advice with great forcefulness and conviction
Varak:You tell the mangy, pointy-eared gortok, in sirihish: "What, girl? You say the sorceror-king has fallen down the well?"
Ghardoan:A pitiful voice rises from the well below, "I've fallen and I can't get up..."

Beggar that really is just a beggar.

My phone now autocorrects "damn" to Dman.

The young daughter has been filled.

Scrappy fighter joining the Byn for 'sid and glory. Except they're genuinely terrified of the desert.

Prostitute that really is just a prostitute.

Right-hand wo/man who isn't secretly planning on betraying all that your boss holds dear.

Aide who really is just an aide.

So.. a beggar turned prostitute?
"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."

Storyteller. Too old to be able to do what you used to do in your stories.  Or, liar.
A young grasshopper wanting to learn a talent, skill or knowledge.

Bar drunk.  Someone pulled this off brilliantly within the last few months.

I also found that having a hobby or even a tiny virtual business helps motivate you to interact with people: something where you buy and sell, e.g., have a virtual bakery, an interest in plants, be a lumber jack. Purportedly, grebbing is actually a social activity, but I can't stand the forage spam, so I avoid it like the plague.
as IF you didn't just have them unconscious, naked, and helpless in the street 4 minutes ago

I used to hunt Anakore, but then I took an elf arrow to the knee.

Pick a standard low-status profession and actually survive via that profession without the goal of becoming wealthy.

A miner that only goes to mine when he knows he won't have money for food  in a couple of days if he doesn't.

A salt grebber who is down to his last skin of water so he finally has to go do some work.

The rest of your time you just hang out, smoke spice/drink, play card games/dice, try to get laid, eat, and just try to have a good time.

Basically, play a commoner that is extremely common. They aren't super motivated. They just want to live, work as little as possible, stay fed, watered, boozed, spiced, laid, laughed, and die.

You want a low stress, not too dangerous role that is fun and allows for a lot of interaction when you feel like it?

Recruit crafter in a GMH, and one that actually abides by the rules.

Eventually you can master craft and learn all kinds of secrets.
At your table, the XXXXXXXX templar says in sirihish, echoing:
     "Everyone is SAFE in His Walls."

Tek Zealot that is old, decrepit, but worships the Highlord without question.  Goes to morning devotions every morning, looks upon those that do not go as filth.  Grovels in-front of all Templars, as they devote followers of the Highlord and their words is the word of the Highlord.  He passes ever single bit of information that he has to the Templars.  An absolute fanatic...  will likely die at some point, but the challenge will be to see how long you can survive.
Ourla:  You're like the oil paint on the canvas of evil.

I'll do the female version of this if you give me a bell item. ;D

I don't understand this connection.

A deaf person who can only communicate with the Way. Bonus if you only use pictures/symbols and no words.

A troublemaker who annoys random strangers by Waying them and saying random things.

I'm stealing it to use in the future.

You know, I just checked to see if there was a bell I could do with this... no non-metal bell.  Which made me sad... might just have to look into solving that.

So you're saying what this game needs is more Chalton Bell?

Ah well you should just kill those PCs. They're not worth the time of plotting creatively against.

Shame.

Child, child, if you come to this doomed house, what is to save you?

A voice whispers, "Read the tales upon the walls."
