One concept that I've been toying around with in my head has been the infiltrator. I believe with all three families striving for contention over Rust, the character who assimilates himself with one family on (secret) behalf of another can be an invaluable asset. Played correctly, and with much IC discretion, the information gathered could be leveraged in one families favor, especially in these early power struggles.

That is to say, this would be a cool idea if it isn't happening already and we just don't know about it. Razz

Also, the "woobie". Only ever made one character like that. It was going well at first; some people were pretty hostile towards him, and I managed to get some digusted looks every now and then. But after so long, the majority of people sympathized with him, so I had to use self-pity; which a woobie, it does not make. I guess I would've had more fun if he didn't outlive his shock-value. Lesson to take away is, don't except people to be mean towards your character if you're trying to make some sort of outcast. At least, not for very long.

The best way to maintain something like this, imo, is to make the character self-destructive - it's very hard to feel sorry a stupid bastard that digs himself deeper with every single word that comes out of his mouth. Maybe they're afraid of intimacy so they tear down any meaningful relationships in a creative and insulting manner. Maybe they're perfectly capable of changing for the better, but tell themselves they'll never amount to anything over and over again as part of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe he just beats anyone up that dares to express pity for him/her.

Unless you want to do a double-act. I could be the Rogue to your Wolverine bby.


Get a dozen PKs under your belt and we'll talk.

What I ended up choosing for my first character. Someone with just sneaking/hiding and artistry.

It's the concept I had in my head, though. And well, stuck with it. Now to see if I can work my way around it.

A character with one huge club arm that gives +8 strength or something ridiculous, but the other arm is shrivelled up and useless (and therefore can't be used to hold/wield things)

This is a C

A white-haired gentleman with a goatee

An incredibly charming and influential independent with hooks (and listening bugs) in the main base of every Family. He can make your wildest dreams come true...for a price. He also sells information on the side.
