The Accountant From Hell is 1, too bad I can't play him. (I'm just too emotional a person. I have a hard time WRITING him.). Even when absolutely positively pissed off and pulling out all the stops, he just looks... Calm. Heart beat doesn't even increase. Nothing is there, nothing at all.

The newly created Sindri, Ásatrú Magician mentored by Thor is a 7, heading to 10 if warranted. (If you see an unkindness of ravens fly around his head with lightening crackling from their eyes and wingtips, you know he's gone to 10, and is trying to make the amp have an 11.).

Well, given that my GM kills any player above 3... I only play characters who are between 1 and 3. Nothing more boring than to have your character killed in the 5 first minutes of the game when you spent 5 hours on it...

Maybe. You just have to make sure to do it in an extremely entertaining way.

That said, I prefer a lot of PC's to be below 3, but the occasioanl one slips through. Mostly, the player learns to tone it down when appropriate, mostly when he survives the lose of an expensive Drone or a point of magic.

I tend to play on the 5-10 scale, but recently made a character that comes in at a 3.
Sure drakes are a lot of fun to play, but they just can't do much without being noticed. Distinctive Style for sure.
Whereas an ork infiltrator is a much more toned down character.

You should build a drake infiltrator
The team will know who you are, but no one else will see you.

Not a bad idea... I may do that for an NPC. I also have plans for other unlikely infiltration types, like a troll, as well, though.

yeah, sneaking trolls . . that actually manage not to be detected, when slipping through a hallway behind some guards . .

"Did you just hear a 3m tall person walk thourgh behind us?"
'Nope'
"Ah well, me neither"

Exactly. Or, the best to my mind, the Troll, clinging to the glass ceiling, about to jump down and pulverize you
