[QUOTE="The Right Word, post: 4361439, member: 56923"] Nice article. You might go a little further and define sarcasm. I know it seems obvious, but people misuse the term all the time. Sarcasm is when you describe a thing in a positive way only to insult it. "You're such a good little wizard, yes you ARE!" is a bad, annoying example that still gets laughs from the people I call friends. (go figure) The character I had most fun bringing to life was Sir Sederon the Blamed. Sir Blame, as the party called him, was convinced that his god (Tyr) needed him every bit as much, if not more than Sederon needed his god. He was cocky, elitist, over-dressed and over-fond of his beauty. He was sarcastic, mostly to NPC's but sometimes to PC's as well. You would think the party would hate him, but it's interesting what happened. Sir Blame became the butt of everyone's joke, the comic relief for the party and the runt everyone picked on. It was great fun because of the way Sederon would respond. He was effective in combat and generally had good ideas, so the other character would follow him as their leader in mock-begrudgment. It was a cool dynamic that didn't work the way I intended, but much, much better than I intended. [/QUOTE]
