One Word of Domination

[Pentius]

I generally go for nuance, so none of my characters are "the most" anything in the world.

The spoiled sorceress has a noble streak, and will shatter castles but will not slaughter non-combatant serfs, because they have it bad enough already; the disciplined warlord has a whimsical streak, and is both jocular and nearly self-effacing; the intellectual dwarf wizard (where did that come from?) tends to be both insightful and reflective (those being two different things).

I guess I just don't tend to create characters who relish saying, "I'm the best in the world at what I do, Buddy!"

(They tend to encounter the archetypes, not be the archetypes.)

As my answer may have indicated, I often enjoy playing characters who absolutely will tell you that they are the best in the world at what they do(whether or not that's true is a different question). What they tend to not be the best at, though, is Humility.

how about, dead, that's how plenty of my character's have ended up anyway...
