Also there was a particular skirt which I generally wore when I was playing her.A cleric of Brandobaris I ran in college had a small porcelain pendant inscribed with a single footprint, which could be tucked inside the metal bead next to it so the footprint wouldn't show. the footprint was glazed with "hobbit blue" glaze.Another college character had a bundle of hat pins, to remind us of the time she had managed to diffuse a tense situation in which the party was being interrogated by soldiers who wanted to know what arms we were carrying, and she looked up at them in tears and emptied her pockets which had nothing in them but some seashells and hat pins, and was so generally pathetic and meek that they let our whole party go without searching them. Despite the knives she had strapped to each ankle, and the considerable pack of whupass the rest of the party had in more or less plain sight, apart from it being dark out.A character that I ran in an Al Qadim campaign had a particular pair of earrings I always wore to get into character. And that I eventually needed to trade to an NPC to survive an episode.And, quite by accident, my current Delta Green character has a decaptiated doll head. I don't know why it's symbolic for her yet, but it wound up in my dice bag, so we'll let it ride for a bit and see what happens. She's only chopped up one body so far, and most of the head was already missing by the time she got to it.Do any of you have particular things you use to get in to character--clothing you wear, objects you carry, apart from your character sheets, etc?I know of one player who always has a theme song for his characters that he likes to listen to in the car enroute to the game. (I've been using that technique for my DG character as well, but I can't tell you which song, because then I'd have to kill the lot of you.)What else do you guys associate with your favorite ongoing characters?</blockquote>
