A meme that actually interests me
Oct. 1st, 2006 11:18 pm(from tylorva)
Name 12 characters you have played in RPGs, before looking at the questions that follow. List your characters numbered 1 to 12, with the name of the RPG you played them in. Once you've picked your 12 characters, look at the questions and answer accordingly. (No peeking until you've picked your characters!) Put your answers behind a LJ-cut.
1. Haywood Jablomey - kender Malkavian, looks like an 8 year old boy. He started out in a 1st ed. VtM tabletop game back in the early 90s, got cameos in other tabletop groups over the years, and has been on RPoL three times (including a current game). He's great fun to play, works best in a group, and probably best represents my Loonie tendencies.
2. Thomas Cougar - Gangrel, native American shaman. VtM 3rd edition. Originally created for an IM game in 2002. Was the seed that spawned my novel series, Fortress Launne, for which there's currently about 6 planned books (though so far I've only written two). He appeared in a long-running VtM game on RPoL called VtM: Eternal Nights, but none of the events from that game are included in my "canon" version of his story.
3. Antoine Reiter - Tremere, Vampire: the Dark Ages. First created as part of the above-mentioned novel series, and then I thought I'd see if I could flesh him out a little by turning him into a PC. He's been in two RPoL games, though the first one only lasted a month. Second one is still going and has been since late 2003.
4. Flint Haddock - Wraith: the Oblivion. The earliest version of him was in a tabletop game back in the mid-90s. Now he's in an RPoL game that had been going since early 2004, died mid-2005, then just came back to life in the past month (Shadowed Liberty, run by Tylorva, from whom I got this meme ;) ). Basically he's a taxi driver that was trying to get his life back together before his untimely demise.
5. Ryan Decker - Mage: the Ascension. A Son of Ether that drives a Winnebago-sized, bright yellow VW bus (his mobile sanctum). Got created somewhere during the blur of tabletops in the mid-90s. :) I've played him in a number of tabletop groups, as he's one of the regulars in my grab-bag of characters to play on the fly (the same way Haywood (#1) is). He has also appeared in the IM game where I created Thomas (#2).
6. Rumen Radomir - Anitaverse master vampire. Has been in a freeform Anitaverse game on RPoL since late 2003. 800 years old, was originally a Hungarian monk. Calls cats, feeds off of fear. Is the Master of the City's second.
7. Aaron Norwood - Anitaverse necromancer. Same game as Rumen (#6). A mild-mannered guy in his mid-20s who would really rather not be a necromancer at all. Runs a bookstore.
8. Mindy Johnson - my first VtM LARP character. A Malkavian with a stuffed dog and multiple personalities. But she wasn't silly! Honest! She was very influential in the Underworld, where she and a Ventrue guy imported exotic illegal drugs, and got in major trouble with the local Garou (there was a co-running Garou LARP). I've also played her on RPoL in a 3rd ed. VtM.
9. Sarabelle Brownfield - a character that was in a VtM LARP, and my first real brush with Wraith. She was a Risen posing as a Toreador. A music professor at the local university. She became very good friends with the Tremere primogen (gave him private piano lessons), who despite having huge amounts of spirit thaumaturgy, never caught on to what she was. Said Tremere primogen eventually helped her become the Toreador primogen. :D
10. Grog the Troll - started out as a tabletop Shadowrun character, later got ported to Changeling: the Dreaming for a short-lived RPoL game, then a one-shot tabletop CtD, then a short-lived CtD LARP. (Also very briefly tabletop 2nd AD&D but that game never actually started.) Big tall guy with heavy-duty weaponry. Came across as not very bright, though he was smarter than he let on. My favorite moment with him was when the runners were turning an empty lot into a park, and he was trying to explain grass to another troll. Other Troll: "what's it taste like?" Grog: "Mmmmm. Tastes like bread. But if you smoke it ... it will make you verrry happy." Tabletop group died laughing.
11. Katrina Dusek - started out in a freeform Stargate game on RPoL that ran from summer 2003 to summer 2004. She was the leader of an SG team that specialized in covert ops. Now she's a Malk professional assassin in a VtM game on RPoL, and also a werelioness in the Anitaverse freeform with Rumen (#6) and Aaron (#7).
12. Molly Bradford - Mage: the Ascension. Virtual Adept that defected from the Technocracy. Was created for the RPoL game that Thomas (#2) was in. Everybody loved how cute she was, which I actually found a bit mystifying. I guess she came across as the perfect damsel in distress. I've played her in one other VtM game on RPoL, mostly to give me and another player some closure on our characters after the messy demise of Eternal Nights.
Hmmm. I could go on and on. :) There's been a lot of fun ones over the years. Anyway, on to the questions behind the cut...
( 24 Questions )
That was fun. Very thought-provoking. Good for jogging loose some writer's block under the right circumstances. And very timely too, what with Nanowrimo looming on the horizon. :)
edit: incidentally, I tracked down Question #10 and editted it in now.
