Have you ever played a character that was wildly out of place in the game's setting? Like a robot in a fantasy setting, an elf in a mundane setting, or a wizard in a sci-fi setting?

I'm not talking about games where such characters are part of the setting (like how you could say that Warforged are just fantasy robots), but a character that genuinely didn't belong in the setting. Could you make it work? If so, how? If not, what went wrong?

If the character doesn't have a reason to exist in the setting, then it is not "working" by your own definition. The popular one is "from another world/dimension" to excuse any kind of setting mix up imaginable.

What do you think my definition of "working" is, then?

No, the closest I came was playing in a game that had the party as a tribe of Kobolds who are the ones to make first contact with a dimension hopping supertech nation. We got firearms and cyberware out of the deal, but we were still fantasy kobolds.

Someone didn't play Masters of Teras Kasi.

Vader can't use force lightning since it requires you to channel it out through your hands and his hands are kinda robotic.

That's not canon though.

Time to remove those dicks from your ass, anon.

What's got you all riled up?

I've never played one myself, but the first campaign I ever ran was the Star Wars RCR. I had two people who wanted to literally play tarutaru from Final Fantasy, and because I was a dipshit 17-year-old moron I was like "okay, sure."

One of them was the most one-dimensional pyromaniac you could imagine. He bought a flamethrower and pretended he was throwing fire from his hands, and literally only ever talked about fire and his obsession with it. The other one was incessantly robosexual for droids, but only humanoid ones, because astromechs were too creepy.

As for my other two players, one of them wanted to be an elf, until I talked him into a Nagai. He wore a fedora and had a lightsaber (but couldn't use the Force). The other one was a sapient Hssiss.

It didn't go too well.
