Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 7046964" data-attributes="member: 6701872">My favorite character is a toss up between one that I played the longest (and incorporate as a helpful-but-not-able-to-solve-all-your-problems NPC from time-to-time in campaigns I DM), and one that I only got to play for a handful of sessions.The former is a wizard named Ramathus, who is always accompanied by a cat named Archimedes. The personality of the pair of them was heavily influenced by The Sword in the Stone, with Ramathus being old, irritable, absentminded to humorous degree, but genuinely well-meaning, and the cat being a silent (except in the wizard's mind) source of judgement and corrections. He's in competition for being my favorite because that animated film is one of my earliest exposures to fantasy, so it resonates very deeply with me.The latter is a fighter named Garret, but who he is and what he's like is tertiary (at best) to why he's in competition for being my favorite. When playing the character, the other players that were at the table (excluding one, who was intentionally being a jerk) and I had this magical instant matching up of thought processes so that from the very first moment of session one, it was like we'd been playing the characters together for months or years. The absolute best party rapport I've ever experienced, and it was in a campaign where none of the characters new anything about each other before play started.</blockquote>
