A) Hard to survive as
B) Unlikely to make it past the application process
C) Sounds fun as an idea, but you feel it'd be less so if put into practice


I'll kick off. I love the idea of playing a cultist militant with the goal to build a church and recruit others - but feel I lack the charisma or playtimes to be anything more than 'that annoying guy who preaches and gets ignored'. And if you *did* have the charisma/time to dedicate to it, it's likely the families would stomp you out.

Another idea I like the sound of is the idea of a vigilante independent that targets and tries to sabotage family members in an attempt to 'liberate' rust. It sounds cool as a concept, but I think in practice it'd just be griefy.

B) I tried to play a cannibal but Holmes said no.

A) Hermit outside the gates. Probably near impossible. Maybe if you took hide/sneak/forage/butchery you could do it. But it'd be hard.

you know...if you have 3+ RPP and put your big boost into hide, you could probably manage this. Your second idea, I mean.

A charismatic, absolutely idiotic character with education/atristry/handicrafting/cooking, that believes himself to be incredibly intelligent, mispronouncing words and using them incorrectly all the time.

But I'd miss combat D=.

Sometimes I struggle with my demons. Other times we just fuck and have cheesecake.

Write gender neutral concept. Flip pronouns.

Possibly not applicable here, I'll grant you, but it worked out well enough for me, twice, to the point that I think certain players are still confused about my gender.

I am unable to play female characters. I lock up and have no idea what to do except spam giggle. And yes I recognize this is probably a Bad Thing(tm), so I don't do it.

I can play bad guys, who do bad things. I have managed decent 'evil' archetype characters on non-RPI games. I just can't quite bring myself to play an utter asshat. Something about stealing from someone/beating them up/being mean, and doing nothing but that? I just can't do it. Props to people who play characters we love to hate, because I certainly can't do it (intentionally, anyway- I can probably do annoying).

personally? I can't play evil PCs. I just can't, ever. I cannot just go out of my way to F over other people IG, unless they have done something to -really- deserve it. I have been told by one or two people I do idealistic, good people best, so that's what I stick to, more or less.
