[QUOTE="Mike D F, post: 1483724, member: 18256"] I'd just like to say a couple things. Yes, I know my guy's kind of a jerk. He does have a 2 charisma, so it's not being an a-hole, it's [I]roleplaying[/I]. ;) But more seriously he's that guy. You know the one. He's in every war movie. He's a gruff blowhard. He generally rags on the (often wet behind the ears) rookie, and dispenses advice. He has a southern accent. He constantly chomps on a cigar. But, his tough exterior hides a heart of gold once you get to know him. Everyone calls him Gunny. Him. He's like that, but I figured the cigars would be overdoing it, and he's more bitter. (In war movies, someone that maimed can't keep fighting anymore.) And his mockery is mostly a psychological defense mechanism. He is more than snide comments and sarcasm, we just haven't gotten that far yet. All that said, if you think I'm overdoing it, say so, and I'll take it down a notch. I, the player, aren't like that. I don't mean to disparage your characters. I dunno, maybe I'm being too wishy washy. As I said, being a jerk doesn't come easily. I'm kind of a door mat, really. PS: One interesting note for the long time BattleTech fans. My original version of the character started out as [I]that[/I] guy years back. You know. He leads a mercenary unit. They're all elite, and have the best 'Mechs from all the states. They frequently outwit and outfight clanners, and are more tactically brilliant than the fox. We all have one, and the merc unit that goes with them. PPS: Ond Shu Rie. Wot do you mean by tehminahtah. Do you see me postingg in ah rihdihculuss ahhhccent? PPPS: One thing we both do apparently have in common. We both seem to be long winded. [/QUOTE]
