[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5685054, member: 60965"] In the first 4e campaign I ran, the half-orc barbarian and the half-elf bard were best friends and acted like frat boys. Every time one of them got a kill or did something cool they'd high-five or fist bump and shout "Half-and-Half" (in game and out). In Exalted we had a character that played "Superman style." He pretended he was a regular mortal following the other players around, but when things got intense, he'd slip into a stable or something and summon his orichalicum full plate with full helm and daiklave, blasting charms and flaring his anima. When the fight was over, he'd slip off somewhere, unsummon his armor, and pretend to be some mortal that had just stumbled onto the scene or was cowering in terror somewhere the whole time. My most interesting character was Gage Kale, a Star Wars gunfighter who actually used guns instead of blasters (at least until he invented gun|blaster hybrids). He used grenades for everything but throwing. He was fearless in a gunfight, but terrified as a little girl in a knife or fistfight or under torture or the threat of torture. He couldn't turn down a bet, including betting the smuggler's ship on a Sabbac hand and everything he owned on a single dice roll (which he won). I also had him walk/leap/talk his way into situations I had no plan for or any idea how I was going to get him out of it just for the challenge of figuring it out as I went. [/QUOTE]
