[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8020217, member: 50987"] Not really, no. I tend to be all over the place with my characters. Over the last four years, I've played the following characters: [B]Cielo Azul:[/B] genasi (air) sorcerer, originally from the Plane of Air and sent to the Prime Plane to learn about her mother's side of the family. She is female, cis-het, and speaks with a Southwestern American accent (and I sprinkle them liberally with Spanish words and phrases.) Her skin is pale blue, but she would probably select "Hispanic" on a government census form here in the Real World. [B]Fafnir, Caller of Gales:[/B] dragonborn cleric of Bahamet (Storm domain). Nonbinary and asexual. When rolling up stats, I rolled a natural 5, and I put it into Dexterity--because of that, I gave them the Soldier background and a mithril leg brace. (Old war injury.) Speaks in a raspy, serpent-like voice similar to the Sleestacks of "[I]Land of the Lost[/I]." [B]Weylen Cairn:[/B] human paladin who had contracted lycanthropy. He was male, White, cis-het, and I gave him Blackwall's voice (from the [I]Dragon Age: Inquisition[/I] video game). Alas, he died on an ill-fated ocean voyage and was replaced with... [B]Vale Arborlon:[/B] human sorcerer, who had been warped by druid magic into a half-dryad hybrid. He would probably be classified as White (non-Caucasian) on a government census form. He speaks with a clipped, abrupt "television announcer" accent, and he is male and asexual. [B]Malachi Bontraegr: [/B] human warlock of the Raven Queen, with a custom background (he barely survived a vampire attack when he was younger). He was White, cis-het, married father of two, and had a Southeastern American accent. He was killed by a kraken in the later chapters of [I]Storm King's Thunder[/I]. [B]Belarius Castella: [/B] (current active character) Dragonmarked human wizard of House Cannith. He is black, cis-het, and speaks with an American accent and a deep voice. For his character portrait, I use the Teferi planeswalker from Magic: the Gathering. (I'm a White, cis-het male who grew up in Southern USA.) [/QUOTE]
