[QUOTE="Ringlerun, post: 5727545, member: 6668496"] I had a player in a d6 star wars game i was running create a character that i was not happy with. I was starting a new campaign based around a group of smugglers, working for the alliance on a heavily controlled imperial world. All the players needed to be incognito so to not draw attention to themselves. The player decided to play an Arrogant Noble from the book. I had no problems with that i said he could be from one of the displaced noble families from the planet. He took that as his character was the rightful ruler of the planet and came up with a name that had about 14 different names in it. And then proceeded to tell the other players that they were going to be his entourage and guards. I have to admit i was young and i got pissed off with the characters stupid name and the player assuming the whole campaign was going to be about his character. So i told him its Star Wars, you can have the arrogant noble template but come up with a decent name. So he decided to take things to the opposite extreme and called his character Gutwrench Bloodripper and refused to play unless he could have the name. The screaming much started just after that and the game degenerated into a sloppy mess. I never did get to run that campaign and the funny thing that same guy is now my best friend. But now we have heated discussions instead of screaming matches [/QUOTE]
