Message: <blockquote data-quote="TBoarder" data-source="post: 282073" data-attributes="member: 272">I enjoy playing with stereotypes.  One character that I'm playing is a DM's dream, a stereotypical swashbuckler who loves rescuing damsels in distress, romancing beautiful noble women, and getting into trouble as often as possible.  The difference is... the character is a woman.I thought it would be fun to turn the stereotype on its head.  Imagine the beautiful princess's reaction when she finds out the brave hero who rescued her from the fire-breathing dragon to win her heart is actually a heroine.  It never gets trashy though (much <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />).  It's meant to be fun, and the DM and most of the other players realize that.  She's a DM's dream character in that she's so easy to send out on adventures.  All she needs are innocents to defend or damsels to rescue and she's there.  No need to get over-complex with how to tailor the adventure to suit her motivations, her motivations are already tailored to adventure.She's easily the most fun character I've been able to play, not because she's a woman, not because she's a lesbian, but because she's always in the middle of things, always seeking adventure, always trying to be a hero, but most of all, always trying to enjoy life. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
