Gaming Meme Day 2 – Your favorite character

Hmm, that’s a hard one. Sonya is the one who really started it all. She was my first PC LARP character. She was a Toreador, who never really turned anarch or antitribu, but occasionally tipped off the other side when someone pissed her off. Eventually she became the Prince’s right hand woman mainly because she developed a habit of leaving right before the really nasty stuff went down. (I mean, even when she was banned from the city it turned out to be right before a huge war.)

I also have a soft spot for Lily, a teleporter & healer who I played in one of Jason’s Marvel games. (That’s also the game where Jason used IHF, my heavily researched and not-entirely-made-up disease from my Bloodwalker stories because he liked it so much. Always flattering when someone is inspired by your ideas.)

Of course I adored my Sun Elf fighter from the D&D game that just ended. And the Eladrin archer with a bear side kick from my friend Steve’s D&D 4.0 game.

I guess when it comes to RPGs I don’t so much have favorites as not favorites. The ones I love the best are from the longer running games, and ones that either came in on a pre-established concept with other people, or quickly became and important part of a group.

As for video games, that’s easier. It’s a solid tie between Rincewind and Death in the Terry Pratchett Discworld video games.

And this had us rolling the first time we saw it.
