Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 6926290" data-attributes="member: 6701872">I've been greatly enjoying most of the characters coming across my table lately, so it's hard to pick a favorite.I'd have to go with Orsic. He's this terrible, uncouth, unwashed, dangerous, pyromaniac thief of a dwarf that a friend of mine is playing in the one campaign so far in which I get to actually play a character.My character and his have this "long history" that is actually not that long at all; we met by chance one day when I entered a tavern in a town I'd never been to before and he tried to pick my pocket. Rather than take offense, I commended his bravery and skill (since my character's fantastically high perception was only just enough to have noticed his attempt, and is very clearly talented and generous with violence), and hired him to my party which I was aiming to assemble.And we've developed this kind of short hand where my character will give his a look, or a nod, and he'll do something outlandish that is always exactly what I had hoped for - which is literally just me saying "Garret gives Orsic a nod as if to say 'You know what to do." and my buddy guessing what I'm talking about, because the in-character time spent establishing this short-hand was glossed over and we haven't given any out-of-character discussion to the matter beyond that we've agreed that my character is keeping Orsic out of trouble under normal circumstances, and telling him when circumstances permit for him to "be himself", which inevitably means grappling someone to drag them into the "kill zone" (prone between a thief and a champion) or lighting someone/something on fire.I also have to give an honorable mention to The Pirate Lord Vex, who is the missing part of our criminal hero trio. He was played by another friend of ours who has since moved one state over, and was in essence Captain Jack Sparrow, if he were more of a "storyteller" and spent even less time on any ship or doing any actual piracy.</blockquote>
