Tell me about your current character
Name Lips:
You know you're dying to share, to go on about your fun character and his cool adventures. Well, here's the place to do it!
My character is Talbor, a human Warmage. He was originally a gestalt Warmage/Scout who'd apply his Skirmish damage to spells that require an attack roll, like the Lesser Orbs. But then too many people joined the game so the gestalt folks dropped half their character and became normal ol' PCs.
My character concept for him is unique for me. I'm trying to play a character who's not annoying. This is hard for me because of my method of character definition - where I pick a trait or two to define my character, then play the hell out of them, filtering all actions through the personality first. I played the greedy, selfish bard, the cowardly, paranoid dwarven rogue, etc. So this character was designed to be good with the ladies and a tactical genius (DM is letting me take ranks in Knowledge (Tactics)). Now, this could be done in an annoying way, but I'm really trying not to. One of our other players keeps me in line by having her character more likely to put out when my character succeeds at being good with the ladies without being annoying about it.
So, tell me about your current characters!

... and yet you somehow managed to answer "no" to the fatbeard question with a straight face? :confused:

My current character is Blessed Peace. He's a Battles Sidereal.
Mad Hatter was running a campaign that blew up; he lost a bunch of players to RL crap. He and Carrot had talked about how cool the game was, so Darlena and I felt bad that he was never going to finish it. So we created characters and joined up.
The *problem* is that our sole exposure to Exalted was several games as Dragonblooded -- the simplest characters in the game. Now, we were suddenly going to have to play experienced Sidereals (the most complicated characters in the game) in a long storyline that was between one-third and one-half of the way through. Our confusion has been rather massive, but we're still having a lot of fun.
Blessed Peace acts more like a Serenity caste exalted -- he is very calm, cool, collected. He wants to save the world and restore order to it and he's willing to sacrifice ANYONE to do it. Very literally -- the only reason he's still alive is the luck of a die roll; he was quite ready to sacrifice himself to save the rest of the group and the half-evil baby we were protecting.
Blessed Peace is good in combat (shockingly good, actually, since that isn't his main focus) but he excells at manipulating others to do the dirty work. Which pretty much sums up the sidereals, actually -- manipulative little bastards. :)

This is the thread for us to all let our inner fatbeard out... for a little while at least.
You have to admit, you've longed to talk about your character. But it's taboo. C'mon, you can share here. We won't mock you. Right away. Much.
(or maybe you've noticed that this is in some ways a counter to my fatbeard thread, where first I get everybody to claim they're not fatbeards, and then I start up a thread for them all to wander in and prove otherwise...)
gleichman:
You know, I just can't do this.
The guys in r.f.g.a talked me into doing this once years ago and I'm still embarrassed as how boring it was when I'm forced to remember it.
What's in the game, stays in the game.
