Characters for them
It’s my fault this week: Game WISH asks for character concepts for other people to play. The theme so far seems to be making people stretch themselves a bit, and I’ve no intention of deviating.
For once in her ever-lovin’ life, I want to see Li play it straight. So… I think I’d roll her up a bodyguard and counsellor to a smart and respectable diplomat. A big, silent woman, smarter than people think she is, who doesn’t draw attention to herself, but makes her presence felt in other ways—especially when her patron gets into trouble.
Iron Llama, who plays Nacreon in Passions of the Tide, has got a marvelous turn of invective—in fact, he’s incredibly articulate, period. Seeing him play a fast-talking double-dealer would just make my day. A cyberpunk setting would work well, I think, or perhaps something sort of Regency.
Now, from what I can see Ginger plays ladies—or women who think they’re ladies. I think she’s due for a plain old peasant. Middle-aged, I think, probably widowed; finds her vocation (possibly arms, but more likely magery or religion) late in life, and clings stubbornly to it despite well-bred sneers at her origins and her lack of education.
I would definitely play either the first or the third of these; the third, indeed, is not unlike a one-off character I did named Bellis. Fast-talking is beyond me, I fear, so I leave the talkative types to others. But I do enjoy seeing them played well, which is why I brought one up.
