Post character concepts you always wanted to play
>>48115226
Cool picture OP, wheres the character?
>>48115334
Fucking this. So many people don't play characters, they play caricatures.
Too bad unarmed will never not be shit in 3.5.
>>48115592
>in 3.5
Found your problem, son.
>>48115592
>3.5
>>48115226
Annoying asian catboi geisha who is a skald simply by virtue of how much he pisses off everyone around him.
Always wanted to play an oldschool Khornate character, honorbound bloodthirsty bro and all that. Too bad Black Crusade games are almost nonexistant and not that good when they exist.
>>48115671
>>48115606
IT'S THE THE ONLY LIFE I KNOW.
Everything about these fuckers, even their spinny clusterfuck of a fighting style.
A not!Indian barbarian woman who is adventuring to make money for her dowry.
Before realising Daredevil was a thing (not too hot on comic books, just my cultural sphere) I basically wanted to just play Daredevil.
>>48115226
WFRP - A strong, burly, man's man of a hunter who saved his small village by thwarting a diabolical (but lovely) witch and slaying her beastman lover.
A LN Barbarian who only rages when the moral code of battle is dishonoured.
>>48115919
Just need someone to play his short, grifting, CN "twin" brother
>>48115226
Wardens are cool as shit, especially Maiev.
>>48115592
>Too bad unarmed will never not be shit in 3.5.
>>48116002
In 4e I'd try doing that as a druid/avenger hybrid
>>48116049
They are more like Shadowdancers than druids, Maiev has like three different types of poisoned knives she throws.
From what I can remember of Cataclysm, Wardens can lock people in the Emerald Dream, but cannot enter or leave it without the help of a druid.
Catgirl operator, tacticool or Caticool.
>>48115761
>order of undead warriors using their quasi-immortality to contain a sentient and hungry Abyss and honor the will of a long dead knight.
You and me both friend.
Id like to know what its like to have friends even in pretend
Pic has it all.
>>48115226
I've always loved the idea of dedicated rivals.
I have two that I vow to find games that will accommodate them:
>A Voodoo Priest Lawyer
A Haitian man who uses his ability to speak to the dead to provide evidence in court and call on them for testimonials. His methods are unorthodox, but god damn if he doesn't get results. Think along the lines of Dr. Facilier from Disney's the Princess and the Frog.
>Bob Smith the mattress salesman
Bob Smith is a man who's entire existence is useless and every goal he has ever reached for and fallen short of a tragedy. Bob Smith is the owner of a run-down mattress store in some unnamed metropolis which he has been forced to live in since his landlord kicked him out of his apartment for being unable to afford rent. He is a divorcee from his wife and child support payments take away what little profit his mattress store could accrue. Physically short, stocky, and balding and equipped with faded business cards from years ago, who knows what wacky hijinks Bob is ready to be involved in?
>>48118497
>Bob Smith
Wait a damned minute, I know that guy.
He lives out of his van, it's stuffed entirely with duvet and bedding set samples and he drives around demoing them to retail outlets.
Fucking spooky.
A warrior imbued with sky magic. Can fly just above the ground, glide when higher, shoot lightning, cover himself and his weapons in electricity, magnetically propel blades at people, incredibly acrobatic fighting style
No idea what system that would be
>>48118653
Is this a real individual?
Artist bard who makes really inspiring paintings,maybe gives buffs with face paint
>>48118935
Yes.
His name's not Bob though.
>>48115226
incarnate soldier of fortune
>>48115721
>>48116505
Well fuck.

A Gatorman in Iron Kingdoms/Hordes Unleashed for more than one goddamned session before the GM either goes full retard with lore, tries to kill our characters in EVERY encounter and fudges rolls/rules to do so, or flakes entire MONTHS.

>Everything is black
>I can't feel a thing
"I've taken shits that were more strenuous than it'll be to kill you lot"
out GM introduced a race of turtle people that are basicly tankier ninja turtles.
i really want to make one of these as a mercenary who took a few skills in painting , but never got a real job or famous enough to afford it , so he sticked with being a merc (pretty much never fought for real , only there to scare away bandits)
merc band disbanded after the leader and half of the guys died to the plague , he then met a few freaks in a bar ...
>easy going sun praisin hippie-ish team mom fertility paladin/cleric, haunted by a baren womb
>kind hearted orphan swordsman funding his old orphanage but battling with a growing addiction to violence
Lucky for me, most of the characters that appeal to me could be boss-tier.
I'll just have to GM
>>48119076
Would be really, really fun--if the system is more "agnostic" to support his nuances
Some kind of expert monster hunter who has to know all the tricks to taking down beasties in the style of Witchers/Spooks.
Something non human.
I am so fucking sick of playing humans because the only other dm wants to run his fucking aryan brotherhood fanfiction.
>>48115226
Dragon Hunter CN who seeks the death of all dragons
>>48116002
i love wardens
>>48115592
Play E6, disallow all prepared casters and allow Tier 5s to gestalt with other Tier 5s.
Boom, fixed. Next question.
>A guy who believes himself worthless, powering through each day with a silent determination to make his life worth something
>Made a RIFTS Juicer with the exact idea and it was beautiful for two sessions.
>>48121826
I'd have killed for Wardens to be the standard for Night Elf armour, rather than the bikini armour of the archers.
>>48115226
An idealistic sorcerer who leads a successful crusade to destroy the Wall of the Faithless and finds love with a non-evil succubus along the way.
>>48116049
Flat Avenger would likely work best. Ungodly mobility, a bit of ranged attacks and a lot of 'You can never escape!'
A diviner designed around a tarot card reader/astrologer/etc. I know quite about that kind of thing because it interests me as an aesthetic.
>tfw your friends would give you weird looks if you played a girl and it's kind of important to the look of the character
>>48115226
If those trousers covered her thighs and pelvis, or else the chain clearly went over them rather than under them, that image might've been perfect for an expensive mercenary spellsword I've wanted to play for a while.
The weird dragon wings on her legs I could maybe deal with. So close.
>>48115226
I've got a few, but pic related only brings one to mind:
>A caster who controls the environment by calling on the power of the four seasons, slowly but surely becoming more spirit than person
Others include:
>An alchemist wielding arcane concoctions designed to petrify opponents rather than kill them, as well as dropping the occasional ooze right in front of him to cover his escapes
>miner/homesteader with dinosaur companions
>melee brawler who borrows aspects of the creatures he defeats in hand-to-hand combat
Ideally in a fantasy setting for the following idea, but if the right setting/system existed could do it in a modern one. But without further delay.
A former Bandit/Barbarian Raider who was captured for his crimes and while in jail/dungeon becomes devote to gods not of his tribe and people. Truly becomes a Paladin of this new faith he's been shown and is granted his release after his mentor vouches for him and he's set upon the path of redemption and such. I envision him carrying his former weapon(s) wrapped up in cloth on his back to constantly remind himself of the weight of his sins and to always bear them. Technically I did get to play this concept once...but the game shit out in five sessions so wasn't able to truly explore the character anywhere as much as I'd like to have done.
>>48122690
>Not playing a scam artist fortune teller that actually has the Sight.
>>48122690
You have shit friends; one of my best characters was a ragged witch-knight.
Laconic general. Natural leader. Does things for the good of the people but is a bad person himself.
