Probably good for a paladin or any good character who believes in redemption.

I'm going to have to find a way to play this in whatever campaign I'm next in...

Spoiler: "... the heart of the Nazi space program." "How is it you can go around saying things like that like they're not insane?"-Atomic Robo
This happens after you uncover a half dozen global conspiracies. This sometimes happens when a series/campaign goes on too long, but it seems to work better as premise.Spoiler: "I have only been in two fights my entire life. Won both of them."There are plenty of reasons why one might avoid fighting. An inability to win those fights does not seem to be the reason here. In many systems it would be a challenge to keep the fight total that low... if you could pull it off I wonder if the character would be better for it.Spoiler: "You are so pessimistic." "I'm also still alive."An adventurer that takes few risks and assumes the worst. Makes me think of the old "10 foot pole" days (which is better than a 9 1/2 foot pole).Spoiler: "This is perfect!" "Y'did hear t'part where y'r in danger, right?"-Widdershins
Some one who can get excited past the point of self preservation. Hopefully it kicks back in when danger is closer.Spoiler: "But just look at her! She's the pure essence of evil!" "Butterfly!"-Twokinds
A fearsome and completely undeserved reputation. Not a lot of characters I see even have reputations, and those that do usually have earned it. So why not try one that hasn't.
Also I have one I would like to pitch to the thread. I feel there is a character here but I haven't figured it out yet.Originally Posted by Voltaire

Spoiler: "Safety first Robo." "In that this helmet is the first safe thing I have done today, yes."-Atomic Robo
They are taking risks, but at the same time they are entirely aware that they are. It might be a moment of desperation, someone who has nothing to lose... or it could be someone who is not taking their character's life seriously. I would avoid the latter.Spoiler: "If God did not exist, he would have been invented."-Voltaire
Someone religious as they have god existing as a straight fact. But also inventive and in a way undeniably confident in the ability of human beings. Those things don't actually run against each other, but still not a common combination.Spoiler: "Eugene, meanwhile, had turned himself into a tree."One named Eugene who turns into a tree... apparently without a lot of reason to do so. Plant based magic? Shape-shifter? But why the sudden transformation into a tree?Spoiler: "I could send you on a guilt trip just by saying you should feel guilty." "...Is there something I should feel guilty about?" "No"-El Goonish Shive
A noble soul, but one who is not entirely confident in their efforts and second guess themselves. I see some room to grow as they find their way.Spoiler: "He gave me two answers. Neither of which actually answered the question but I think I figured it out."Someone asked the old master a question.Spoiler: "I should also apologize for my partner's atrocious language." "He also tried to kill us." "But that was professional unpleasantness."I feel this sums up a professional and polite killer. Just from the sound of this, I would not be surprised is the speaker just tried to kill or is just about to try and kill who they are speaking to.

According to my math... tomorrow would have made this thread necromancy. This thread doesn't get the action it used to.
Spoiler: "Angering powerful people in charge of shadowy organizations is pretty much my hobby."-Atomic Robo
Because why wait for a new threat when you can create one out of an existing player on the world stage. A proactive character who disrupts the status quo and annoys those who benefit from it.Spoiler: "Let me be heroic for a minute."Someone who wants to be a hero, but actually has no one to save. Maybe they live in a too peaceful world (unlikely) or there is another hero who could do the job (not recommended) or the one they want to save can save them selves (also tricky).Spoiler: "This is for the people I love, all seven billion of them."Motivated by the more general 'I love humanity'. A paladin's sort of motivation, help people because they are people, no other reason is required.Spoiler: "Oh, I can see you just fine... I just can't tell what you look like, that's all."-Breath of Fire IV

The webcomic A Softer World is a goldmine for this.
We can give you a new body, a new voice. You'll miss your parents, and the sun, but you could sing.
Operator, put God on. Yes, I'll hold.
...
God? You're next.
Death is coming and we've been making charts, wasting time. I am a bat**** genius scientist prophet goddess and I will be free. And I guess this message is to let you know I won't be in tomorrow.
I like my witches like I like my books. Properly respected for their cultural importance.
An easy alternative to meditation is just letting yourself not care for a few hours.
Such trivialities do not even register to me. I am a being of pure reason. Love would only slow me down.
Imagine how trapped you would feel if you were living the life you should.
Your touch brings me to life. Not like Frankenstein, like HAL.
Do not be ashamed of your secrets. I can't imagine a lion who thinks starving is better than someone watching them kill.
Had a job predicting the future. Got fired for crying.
When you're near, the creatures inside me go still and quiet and watch you from behind my eyes.
There are just two things that make life worth living. The people you love, and sweet pranks.
I don't want a world without pain or loss. I just want them to mean something.Last edited by solidork; 2017-02-14 at 01:50 PM.

That's pretty funny on its own. Although you might need the second part for a character concept.
Spoiler: "I do something very, very difficult. I shut-up."-Ernesto Sirolli
Sometimes inaction is harder than action. Sometimes it is also more effective. A zen-type monk.Spoiler: "You can hate me later."-Earthsong Saga
An unpopular hero, saving people who don't want to be saved or from themselves. Or maybe that is just the justification, maybe they aren't quite the hero they tell themselves they are.Spoiler: "The only after effect I've noticed is a marked aversion to guns, knives and crime-fighters..."-Batman
This seems to sum up the edger versions of Batman, a hero, but one made of terror.
Challenge, anyone got a quote for the non-edge version of Batman, best I got is "Because I'm Batman."Spoiler: "Never imagined I'd be in here, did you?" "The closet? Certainly not."-Erf World
One who appears in closets, OK a little bit more generally, one who does things people aren't expecting, if only for comedic value. The other sort of unexpected is either stupidity or brilliance, maybe there is some overlap here?Spoiler: "Damages: 14.3 million dollars. A new record. Congratulations.

More ASW.
So now you're telling me what I can and can't train my chickens to do? What the ****, officer?
If our love lasts forever, it's gonna get real awkward when one of us dies.
I am going to break your arm so that the bone juts out, and then I will stab you to death with your own insides. I will win this chess game, is what I'm saying.
Sure, confiscate my grappling hook. Arrest me if you have to. At least I know I tried.
You aren't really a good person but, god damn, you make bad look awesome.
Could you recommend a good book about raising your kids to not sex-murder people? I don't want to make the same mistakes my parents did.
I think I've got fireflies where my caution should be. (Instead of slowing down, I just shine brighter)
When I look at you, I can't help but think "Hell must be missing an angel."
In a dark, dark wood, there was a dark, dark house. And in that dark, dark house, I think we should get drunk and fool around.
If I could go back in time and give myself one piece of advice, it would be this: "Take your shirt off, and turn around. Mmmm."
I spent my childhood believing I was destined to be a hero in some far off magic kingdom. It was too late when I realized I was needed here.
You get this look in your eyes sometimes, like you've just realized I'm edible.
Do you ever get the feeling that God has a plan? And you're the only one who can stop it?
Everybody dies. Ever single person. So, style counts.
I would sell my soul for a soul worth keeping.
Okay okay, calm down. Lets settle this like men. Oil me up.

Re: Quotes you can build a character off of III: It's a crowd
A few more for various character ideas
"I mean yes you could kill me. Right here, and right now even but then I'm dead and your no closer to completing your goals."
"I trust you. Well I trust you in the some capacity."
"Hey you said I needed to record there code its not my fault you can't read wingdings."
To foes in a more intimidating negotiation
"I am here to tell you how bad the situation is. And if I am doing that your better off surrendering or trying to kill me now"
"Go on make your grandiose claim I'll win this through my own tenacity, cunning not some grand super power."
"The technical term is harem. And I have no idea I accomplished this."

Re: Quotes you can build a character off of III: It's a crowd
He stepped into the room, and the nobles fell silent. Where their finery screamed "I am a man of wealth", his plain yet finely taylored clothing was calm but firm in it's assertion "I am a man of taste". Unlike theirs, his sword was hilted niether with gold nor silver, but polished steel. It's blade was honed by he himself that morning to a perfect edge, as it was every morning. No gems adorned the pommel, but the weapon's balance sat at the perfect spot, just barely forwards of the guard. The toys at the hips of his guests with all their sparkle, practically screamed "We are boys, playing at war". Well maintained weapon at his, quietly asserted, "I kill Men". There was a reason after all, that he was king, and they were mere nobility.
