Weirdest Characters, That you've played as or GM'ed Options

[simonw2000]

I've heard of:

A adept with an moderate allergy to ORICHALCUM! :D How mad can you get? There goes the weapon foci...
A sammie who took MONTY PYTHON as a Knowledge Skill. Pulled off the "Holy Hand Grenade" sketch on a team of corp hitmen. :rotfl: Left them confused long enough for the rest of the team to sneak around and slaughter them!

Tell me how mad your characters have gotten!

[Phaeton]

...I actually play pretty serious characters...Although I was considering for a while playing a Launch Weapons troll adept whose favorite weapon was an Ares Antioch.

Appropriately enough, I planned to name him St. Antioch. :rotfl:

[Snake Oil]

I played a necromancer and Former Aztechnology Company Man recently. He was an adept with the Divination, Psychometry and Centering: Magic Skills metamagic techniques. His related skill was Necromancy and his only weapon skill was Edged Weapons: Scapels, of which he also had the Improved Ability adept power for. He was a pretty cool if wholly macabre character who could unlock all manner of secrets from a given corpse. He was also a pretty good field medic in a pinch, but not much of a fighter unless you got up in his face thanks to Pentjak-Silat 4 with Close Combat and Close Combat: Edged Weapons.

Needless to say, the secrets he would often unlock didn't leave him as the sanest fellow around. He was stable, but weird and standoffish. Helped his Intimidation skill, though.

[Sahandrian]

I made Shippou from the anime "Inuyasha" as a fox shifter...

We've got a catgirl shaman...

There was one NPC mage who, through SURGE mutations, looks much like a vampire and even has a sunlight allergy...

I don't recall any others.

This wasn't in my group, but in a one-shot tourney game a mate of mine was running at GenCon I think it was. Player had decided on something a little different, the Dwarven Golfing Adept. She'd given him something like four levels of Improved Golfing on top of a maxed out skill, and had little mini-grenades shaped as golf balls. Fore! :D

[Derek]

An orc houngan/decker (allready a strange combination) with a serious phobia of astrally projecting, and astral space in general. Thank cajun accent, too.

Derek

[John Campbell]

Huh. All these years, and I had not, until now, connected the Ares Antioch with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. :dead:

[durthang]

In a gag campaign my GM is going to run, I am planning on playing a troll with the elf poser flaw. Yes, I know that the flaw is only supposed to be used for humans, but just imagine it. A 9’ troll dressed in a cross between Santa’s elves and Peter-Pan. Needless to say, he also has the distinctive style flaw.

[Munchkinslayer]

I GMed for a gal a while back. She made a former drugged out club kid who worked as a prostitute to get money for her drug/BTL addiction. Then she got semi-clean and when into shadowrunning. She was a BDSM type with intimidation and whips. Wore a latex dominatrix outfit on runs that didn't require a lot of stealth.

[mfb]

well, at least it was a chick playing one the archtypical chick characters.

i ran a character once who had, as a knowledge skill at rating 5, "Ways the Man is Keeping My People Down". i was amused.

[Lindt]

[Munchkinslayer]

[Zazen]

One of my players had a transvestite who'd use her super-high charisma to seduce important men and get most of them not to care about her extra equipment. This was years before porn sites that proved such a thing is easy to do.

Briefly I got to run a PC called "Coffeemage" who used coffee spells, coffee-based centering, coffee mug fetishes, etc. He was always trying to summon a coffee elemental, but the game didn't last long enough for me to create one.

[BumsofTacoma]

A gay, Belemic (spelling?) street sam/ decker. scrawny badly dressed in whatever trend was new that week. and he was a phsyco killing machine.

A troll drug dealer who knew nothing about drugs, had a thing for dwarves and cried in his sleep (Dont ask, i dont even know why)

A British dwarf that used a bad scotish accent constantly, called guards Gerries, and Krauts. Claimed he was related to Sean Conery (spelling once again?")

There are so many that are worse/funnier than this But I am in a hurry, got band practice, will post em later maybe.

[Glyph]

I created The Sewer Mutant for a Shadowrun "superhero" game on the boards that didn't really take off - I was pleased with how the character turned out, though, and he would probably make a good NPC.

I also made Masquerade, an elven face/shaman specializing in infiltration and impersonation. She is the deadliest character I've ever played - all three of the games on the board that I played her in died. :D

Of course, Rat, my street lowlife character from the 40 BP game, is my favorite.

[Fortune]

[BumsofTacoma]

A'thank you
(in bad Austin Powers impersonation)

[EVLTIM]

Easy . Befor Stumps joined up and left us mere mortals behind he played a Neo style guy that lasted the first round of combat when he waved his hand and said "No.". :dead:

[6thDragon]

One of my favorite characters had the flaw Compulsion (blowing stuff up) needless to say he wasn't always the most popular character to have on a run.

I also saw a decker with a matrix addiction flaw and a knowledge background: Everquest. It was so well roleplayed. What made it the best was that the player and I were the only two players in the group that didn't have the flaw IRL, and he constantly used it to make fun of them.

That's all I can think of for now

[Sahandrian]

I did last night. But Explorer crashed when I posted and it didn't post. I was too tired to retype the whole explanation so I just gave up and went to bed.

[Nargrakhan]

A character that tried to do everything at once.

I've temporarily uploaded the archetype on my site:

[Raptor1033]

Chainsaw Willy, orc, nuttier than a squirrel. obvious cyber everything, cyber horns. i convinced the gm to allow me to modify forearm snap blades into forearm mini-chainsaws that slid out a little behind the wrist, and of course he dikoted his chainsaw blades. if someone wouldn't have the courtesy of coming closer to him so he could use his chainsaws on them he tossed around napalm and phosphorous nades. horrible, horrible man but hilarious to play.

[fourstring_samur...]

in my game a friend of mine plays a troll bear shaman who always wears a white tux, and is impeccably(sp?) clean. plus, the guy who plays him is pretty odd, so he usually creeps out npcs.
