[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 8467109, member: 98008"] I can't even recall the last time I played a straight white able-bodied male character. My second last character had cerebral palsy (-3 Dex gave me the idea). He wanted to be a wizard but couldn't do the vocal and somantic components reliably. So he sought out ancient teachers and became a Psion. He tended to talk mostly in telepathy as it was easier for him. I tend to be the most talkative at the table, so it gives others a chance to jump in and interact with NPCs. Character before that was an elderly dwarven fighter who was a lesbian. She married a gay dwarven man in order to fulfill her duty to her clan. Raised her kids as per her duty. Neither of them were closeted, the dwarves don't care what your preference is, as long as you do what is traditionally expected of you. Now that the kid were adults she could finally go and become the hero she always wanted to be. Her platonic love-story with her husband was some of the most touching RP we have had at the table. She was mother figure of the adventuring party. Character before that was an Arabian-nights themed harem slave with PTSD. She made a Warlock pact with an elder succubus to kill her master and give her dominion over men. She was a man-hating femme-fatale who would put herself in positions to be potentially abused, so she could kill the abuser and send their damned souls to her infernal patron as an offering. Took the other PCs a while to reign in her worst tendencies. Ability, mental health, age, sexuality, gender, ethnicity, trauma, I think I've won appropriation bingo. [/QUOTE]
