26, male, diesel mechanic.

>IN GAME
Middle aged half-elf witch hunter that utilizes alchemy to augment himself. Excessive use of alchemical concoctions has altered him, for better and for worse. He's also the rough equivalent of a drug addict, except his body has become so reliant on alchemy that it starts to shut down if he doesn't get his fix.

Been playing this dude for like a year in 3.5. I like him, even if he was initially - and shamelessly - inspired by Geralt.

Muskets are pretty useful as improvised clubs.
I know in the English civil war many musketeers would fight with their musket in a mêlée than with a dagger or side-sword, as a matter of necessity or preference.

The butts and barrels of period specimens are often reinforced in a way that suggests they are intended to be used in just such a fashion.

This is pre- invention of the bayonet I think.

oh well. family loves me and I don't have any drug addictions or obesity.


Also, while I have been a DM for over a quarter of the 3.5 months I have played 5E, I have a couple of characters.

One is a low-wisdom Chaotic Neutral Paladin called T'rump.
the other is a Chaotic Good High Elf rogue whose first session (and my first session ever) involved getting gangraped in OOTA. Best funniest thing ever at the time, but I never talk about it anymore and I have chosen to forget it ever happened.

I wish I was part of a more consistent and productive group as a player not a DM.

I just want to fucking explore and become powerful and grow a town/civ and have children.

Favorite character trait? Whooo boy... I don't have a single one... it really depends on the party dynamic and the character overall.

My all-time favourite character was an older Army veteran gunslinger in pathfinder. His wife had passed away and his children had grown up so he adventured to do one last bit of good in the world before he died. He saw it as his penance for killing people during wars (he had mild PTSD in the form of vivid nightmares of battles or dead comrades)

He was gruff, grumpy, quiet and had an insatiable smoking habit, but he was also incredibly courageous and loyal to his friends and comrades. I guess the character traits broken down would be

>Loyal to the end
>courageous

>Prejudiced
>Quiet

I'm a geneticist, so the complexities of the deeper engineer are wasted on me, but as it's been explained, they essentially re-purpose results and data from sports science and even mo-cap animation projects to build a baseline and then slowly adjust it on a per-person basis so the limb remains scaled with the rest of the body.

Right now most of the research is focused on left forearm replacement because locomotion is being handled by vastly more qualified engineers and a subject having an experimental non-dominant arm isn't too much of an inconvenience.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

I fucking wish. I've only been working for a few months, so I'm relegated to calcineurin research while I catch up on about 4 years of work. and try to wrap my head around this utterly nonsensical working theory a previous researcher had.

Most of the actual physical dimensions for movement are entirely automated now, thanks to a collab project in the US, so for the engineers it's actually pretty fun. They get to take their prosthetic to benchmarking, fine-tune it, then take it well past maximum operating standards to find the perfect working standard.

I've been told, though you can never trust engineers about this kind of thing, that their bare-bones silicon ceramic hand model has a fibre-bundle density high enough to crush most consumer electronics and, when above safe operation, break bone. The cyborg age is so close you can hear its whirring and beeping on the wind.

one thing I've learned is that there is no rush, you'll get there when you'll get there. If that's in a couple of years, great, if it takes more than that-- you still got there, which is what counts.

remember that no undertaking has succeeded without setbacks, and that your pursuit only ends if you end it.

No one will be proud enough of not having work to post that. Your sample is poisoned.

The trick to getting a job isn't competence. Look at any employee, it's worse with managers. That's not the primary selector for employers. It's willingness to compromise. Don't care about your weekend? Great! No moral qualms about making the company money? Even better. Not verbose about any lifestyle choices, political views, or regilion (beyond the company line)? You're hired. Get a family so we can be sure you'll do anything to never lose this job. Being employed isn't hard. Being happy is.

I'm playing a few characters in pathfinder games right now. An industrialist fighter with anger issues, the pirate son of a witch, and a knight poet who worships the fates.

A twenty year old illustrator struggling to survive between a dead-end retail job, living alone with no friends and barely paying off rent, while losing his morality to drawing smut for mentally ill people on the internet just to pay the additional costs.

Oh wait...

29 (soon to be 30) year old lab services collection assistant. (I collect and ship urine samples). It's not really as bad as it sounds. I read a lot, although I'm picky and won't ready EVERYTHING anymore, do a lot of development and reading of roleplaying stuff, and play a lot of RPG and Strategy games.

The last guy I played was "Kenshiro, but dumb, and not as overwhelmingly powerful".

26 yo unemployed depressive. I play because I enjoy it but now maybe it's to escape my life.

I run a gothic 5th Ed game, partially using the curse of strahd adventure and golarions ustalav.

I play an abjurationist in another 5th Ed game who is going to start going nuts if he can't stop his party from being offed.

I also play an ork kommando with far too much access to chaos and a penchant for explosives.

Also a Italian mobster in the 3rd millenium on his way to Poseidon the blue planet. He's amoral, lecherous and hotheaded but seems to have the skills necessary to survive on the rim.

Currently and lately I've been the dm, but the last character I rolled up for myself was a retired purists who now runs a bar but is itching for excitement again. Hank Nocloak, human fighter, battlemaster, with a big old lucky glaive.

I play mostly children and characters with no knowledge of the world at large. Mostly as an excuse to ignore all subtleties and pretend not to understand sarcasm.

I like having my characters take everything literally.

When a large bore musket fired into a packed block of men at close range might kill one man by piercing his brain, another on the through-and-through, and wound three more by driving fragments of his exploded skull into their bodies.

Gunpowder warfare can get ludicrously gory.

43 y/o gone back to school because I still don't really know what to do with my life (it's probably some kind of ADD related thing. I should see a doctor about that.) Former animator and kind of want to get back into game development.

I've been hovering on the edge of RPGs the past few years. I tend to make skill monkies. The last character I made was for a Star Wars game using the Hero System.
A Shard (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shard) burglar that uses and occasionally hijacks droid bodies. It masquerades as a droid to avoid attention.

35 y/o aspiring game designer working on 4 board games and an RPG. Currently earn money by project managing translations. Married to a gamer woman.
Currently playing a Bladedancer in ACKS. I don't like it very much, and I'm worried I'm going to have to play it a long time, because the GM is really good at keeping a game going. In our group it's either he or I who end up GMing 90% of the time. Last one I ran was Blades in the Dark and a playtest of my own game. My game just underwent a re-write, so I'll play test this iteration in possibly a week.

I've come to the point where I find it hard to look people in the eyes as soon as the conversation leads to drawing. I tell myself that I'm not as degenerate as furries but it doesn't matter if you draw erotic softcore elves or hardcore furries it's all fucked up.

It's pretty ironic that the only saving grace of ic today is that there is literally nowhere else to hang around in online without stumbling into a hugbox circlejerk.

My characters
>A 6'4 manly man cavalier that rides a Bullette. He's a big dumb idiot with a good heart and a love for food and drink. Suffers hallucinations from some eldritch multi-dimensional bullshit. My favorite character.
>A young Druid woman from a viking-esque northern clan, travelled to the south lands with her barbarian husband (played by my BF) to find glory and treasure. Finds difficulty in speaking with humans, prefers the company of animals and trees. In spite of her anxiety, she wants to help everyone and cooks meals for the party and heals their wounds.

Running an AdEva game.

Playing in an SR game as a hobgoblin party face who is a luddite.

Most of my characters tend to be fish-out-of-water who really shouldn't be in the setting. Like playing a perpetually cheerful character in a grimdark setting.

Whiny and lazy, but so was I at their age so I can't fault them for that too much. I'm actually pretty lucky and my students are quite sweet (if underachieving). Fucking hate the parents though. Holy shit, the things I've gone through over the last couple years. Had a dad who threatened to get me fired a couple months ago after I gave his daughter a 0 for plagiarizing 75% of her essay. I even gave her a chance to resubmit when she claimed it was her note-taking sheet. The second submission had every other word run through the thesaurus, so she got dinged again for plagiarism via synonym replacement.

Love the work, but man are the parents shitty.

33 year old man child who is very active cycling and hiking to the point of almost bring an accidental hippy. I work in sleep medicine and am currently annoying everyone in earshot learning the tin whistle, as well as playing bass and piano. I had a classical education as a child and am fond of old high fantasy and modern neuro-punk. Brain hacking and altered perceptions, essentially cyber punk without the cyber.

I play a human fighter in a D&D based cluster fuck of rules that lets me focus on getting hirelings and training my own order as well as abusing magical items for boosts to keep on part with the casters. It would drive any purist insane but go fuck yourself we're having fun. My fighter is xenophobic and deeply religious to the point that he often gets mistaken for a Paladin but he has shit Wisdom so no spells for him.

In DH I play an adept that specializes in rituals "prayers for the Emperors intervention" who is getting an uncomfortable amount of corruption points. Looking to sage him up with the Malefic Scholar alternative.
