Hehe, I love when that happens. The little fuckers have minds of their own. That's totally what went on with the first guy I mentioned, the one who's my favourite. I created him when I was 15 and wanted to have some generic angsty goth type in a fantasy setting, but he was far too self-aware to adhere to the role. Every time I tried to get him to do something, I'd end up with shit like...
Marcus stared coldly into the face of his enemy. "It seems you have underestimated me," he said in a voice devoid of emotion. "You tried to appeal to my sense of mercy... how were you to know that I have none?" At this point, Marcus paused suddenly. "Why the fuck am I saying this?" he asked the world at large. "It's stupid."

This should totally become a character-oriented thread. I love hearing about other people's. Anyone have any drawings of their chars?
Actually, what would be cool is if we could all pool our characters into one convoluted 'story', just to bounce them off each other and see what happens. I used to do that with my best friend, each of us contributing alternate paragraphs, and it led to some awesomely funny exchanges. They always ended up arguing like petulant children. :D
Oh yeah, something just occurred to me. Anyone here played Reality-On-The-Norm? I never ended up making a game, but the character of the Baron was my contribution... the dude I mentioned in the previous post, the gentleman assassin.
