[QUOTE="Protean, post: 953743, member: 12274"] All in all I have to say that the stereotype is mostly bullhockey as to what I've seen. Like all groups of individuals, the boorish outspoken types tend to be seen, espicially a good number of the gamestore employees I've seen. Mstly I'd say this tends to come from the wargamer angle more than roleplayers, roleplaying for most people around me being a largely social thing. I.E. If you don't shower people would generally not game with you. As for me I'm largely settling out of my awkward stage, and attempting to replace my gut with some muscle mass. Here are my physical stats for those wanting a better view eh? Weight: 275 Height: 6'3" Waist: 40 Build: Naturally muscular, with my legs falling into a much more wellbuilt mold. My stamina and agility tend to be shot as I was born with an awkward neck-shoulders build and I smoke quite a lot. Complexion:Golden tan, the sun tends to strike me quickly. Usual Mode of Dress: Metal-band t-shirts, a shaved head, and black baggy pants. I've been told I look goth before, but from the usual Whitewolf crowds I've seen around here, not by a long shot. The Rest of my group from High School: Justin: Recent army recruit, A bit shorter, with a little less muscle mass. Lost his gut during Basic, but has it back now. If he weren't such a jerk, people really would like him. Being irish/jewish he has no tan to speak of. People like him when he's not being purposefully antisocial and spreading around communist propaganda. Tony: A big guy with a big gut that would probably out-fight most people I've met. Pretty active, but has had some genetics related heart problems that slowed him down. Josh: Scrawny, muscular llittle guy with git. Made it to regionals for wrestling. Quick guy, really into martial arts. Really nice girlfriend. Wish I had this kid's social skills. Rob:Scrawny nerd-type, pretty smart but overtly clumsy. Growing out of hs shell. Called dexterity-boy for things that were broken in hyper-active stages. Ryan: 300 pounds, short, and not really active, a real social butterfly though. Keeps himself well stocked in expensive clothes. Too much of a rebel complex though. Dave: Pretty much like Rob,except that girls seem to like him. Good kid, as a 10th grader, he's probably still in his awkward stage. Nick:Charasmatic wily runner, pretty much partied all the time. Took off game nights for girls. We pretty much all did that though. There are a few other guys though. We were pretty much the only gaming group in town so... [/QUOTE]
