Ginger and Dorothea ask

Come up with a character concept for one to three other gamers you know. System, genre, stats (if you even bother with stats) up to you. How did the gamer(s) influence the concept(s) you came up with? Would you play the character(s) you came up with yourself?

Well, if Dorothea wants me to play it straight, then I’m going to have to ask her to play it crooked. I’d love to see her play a con artist of some kind, and despite the protests I can already hear coming in from her direction, I think she’d do a good job. If I couldn’t convince her to take that character, she’d have to be either a bard or a power-behind-the-throne type. Nobody should be surprised to know that I’d play any or all of those characters at the drop of a hat.

As for Alisa, I’d love to make her the skeptic and straight man (as it were) in a black ops type game…not because I think she couldn’t or wouldn’t do it, but because it would be fun to watch. This is not an easy role to play, but it can be a lot of fun and I’d certainly give it a try.
