I don't get to
play that often -- I am usually behind the screen! However, there are two characters that I got to play and quite happily.
Julia Peregrina filia Cerebus Facto of House Merinita -- my
Ars Magica maga who I got to play for nearly two years! (squee!) She was a delight; very odd, very flighty, technically a non-combatant, but through some of her spells she was a greater danger to people than those who killed outright. With her child Ori (The Brass Baby) and her familiar Tweety (who only
looked like a small dragon -- these external philosophical accidents hid a nightingale), she gleefully confused even the Queen of Bright Summer. **sigh** Everytime I talk about her, I miss playing her all over again...
Charlie Eastway -- my private detective character from a pulp mini-campaign (ran 5-6 sessions) using
Over The Edge as the rules, though not the setting. Charlie worked the Chinatown beat in The Big Apple; he was The Man With A Thing For Ming and could do his own saxophone solos. I loved getting into the whole noir patter for him; heckuvalotta fun! He worked well with The Mysterious Professor Zen and The Masked Marvel (a wrestler).
Hmm, maybe I'll get to play again, soon
