Quotes you can build a character off of III: It's a crowd

[Cluedrew]

Spoiler: "How did you get in here?" "You left the window open." "We are on the second floor."

Show

A character who is perhaps too good at breaking and entering, in that the idea of personal property seems to not apply anymore. They are also good at getting up a floor or two, so likely the more acrobatic type as well.

Spoiler: "I wasn't expecting the tattoos." "Not many people do, most don't recognize me without a tie."

Show

You know I think it generally helps if there is some unexpected aspects of a character, something that does not flow from their central concept. I mean if you focus on the office worker with tattoos it becomes the central concept, but if the straight laced office worker has some tattoos from a more adventurous youth, that is adding some details to a character that hopefully will create a more organic character.

Spoiler: "The problem with being good at hurting people is eventually it gives time to think and realize: I'm hurting people."

Show

A strong warrior who reached the top and only then began to regret their life of violence. Guessing what this would be in reply too, the others (lesser warriors?) seem to be surprised by this, maybe they aspire to be something that the one who has achieved it realizes it is not as great as it seems.

Spoiler: "Plus this should, y'know, minimize property damage. For once."'

Show

-Sleepless Domain

Hey a hero who thinks about property damage, what do you know? Not quite a character concept in and of itself, but I think it hints at a more caring or thoughtful character.

Its been a while.

[8BitNinja]

"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life"

-Winston Churchill

Here is one for a ranger

[FabulousFizban]

!) Please! I used to hunt ****ing vampires.
2) Dont be fooled! Beneath this calm exerior beats the trembling heart of a coward.

[Cluedrew]

Spoiler: "I'm glad my awkwardness aura could be weaponized."

Show

-Sleepless Domain

Hey, if you got it, use it. More significantly, most people with "awkwardness aura" tend to be too socially, well, awkward (or unaware) to do anything with it. So we have a possibly helpful character who is social aware but still awkward enough to weaponize it.

Spoiler: "Well that was an adventure. Slayed three printers and I'm now level five. Here are your handouts."

Show

Classic Meetings and Managers character. You know the game the D&D monsters play in their off time?

Spoiler: "I break things with my face."

Show

-Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire

I find this to be a very interesting expression of a brute fighter's raw power. Also if anyone can find a way to mechanically support having your character break things with their face I am very impressed.

Spoiler: "After all, only real mean wear pink."

Show

-Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire

I'm not sure if you could make a full character out of this, but you could get an interesting visual quirk out of it.

[goto124]

Spoiler: "I break things with my face."

Show

-Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire

I find this to be a very interesting expression of a brute fighter's raw power. Also if anyone can find a way to mechanically support having your character break things with their face I am very impressed.

Spoiler: "I break people with my face."

Show

- Myra, goddess of headbutts, KSBD

Here, Myra is the giant blue lady.

[Cluedrew]

To goto124: That sounds exactly like Kill Six Billion Demons.

Spoiler: "You gotta let OTHER PEOPLE say the mean things about you! Then you hit em!"

Show

-Sleepless Domain

Don't take that from anybody, not even yourself. They seem to be confident, aggressive and not reflective in the slightest.

Spoiler: "You beat a dragon to death with a wooden bat?"

Show

-The Sword Interval

Some heroes ride to victory with carefully honed weapons. Others grab the nearest blunt object and improvise.

Spoiler: "When you entered the room there were 9632 candles lit. Now there are 9297 lit. Did you notice the difference?"

Show

Someone with an eye for detail, being able to notice little details and apparently being able to count up to 10 000 without much issue.

Also they were talking about death. They seem to be a big picture person, hundreds of candles went out, but it was unnoticeable. Or maybe they are saying that it shouldn't be unnoticed and we need to pay more attention.

Spoiler: "What's our escape plan?" "We beat up everyone!" "W-What! Beating up everyone isn't an escape plan!" "I see. We beat up everyone. Then we leave."

Show

-Hero Oh Hero

Why walk softly when you have a big stick? Well I can think of a couple of reasons, but this character can't. Or maybe they have but have decided to play to their strengths.

[Drakevarg]

"These men who brought me here today do not fear me. They brought me here today because they fear you. Because they know that my voice, a voice that refuses to be enslaved, once lived in you, and may yet still. They brought me here today to show you death, and use it to frighten you into ignoring that voice. But know this: we are many, they are few. To fear death is a choice, and they can't hang us all."

- Charles Vane, Black Sails

Possibly the only example I can think of for a sympathetic Chaotic Evil protagonist.

[martixy]

I can't know if this has already been posted, but here you go:

And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

Also, I feel people like to colour their quotes way too much with their own preconceptions.

They're best left in a vacuum, so everyone can find their own unique spin.

[Protato]

"You did what?"

[Cluedrew]

To martixy: I sort of agree that quotes should stand on their own. The reason I put my commentary in spoilers is so you don't have to read it. Or even if you do, you have a moment to see it in isolation before you read my thoughts on it. When I originally started posting quotes I often let them stand on their own, but some of them I just had to say something. And the others I thought, if I can't think of anything worth saying about it, even if it is not great, maybe it isn't a quote you can build a character off of anyways. So that's my thoughts on the matter. Don't feel you have to read the stuff in the spoilers, that's why they are there.

Spoiler: "My own mother thought I was a monster. ... She was right of course, but it still hurt."

Show

-Avatar: The Last Air-Bender

The obvious one is real monster, who understands the terrible things they to but doesn't even care anymore. Your mother thinks your evil is a pretty high standard for how low you have gone. But at the same time that is all past tense, maybe that hurt made them realize, made them change.

Spoiler: "I'm a bard. Why do I do anything? Because it's funny."

Show

-Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire

Even without being a bard, a character committed to comedy will... probably come off as a bard anyways. There is an excuse here to turn to "chaotic neutral" humour here, but a more refined bard that aims for higher comedy might come off better.

Spoiler: "I'm sorry- Did you just attack one of the worst criminals in the world by launching your national animal at her face?" "I make do with what I have!"

Show

-Hero Oh Hero

And you had your national animal handy? Patriotic and creative, perhaps a scientist or a lateral thinking soldier.

Spoiler: "She was the youngest commander of the Royal Hunters ever. 30 years and almost a dozen kids later and no one has suggested she retire yet."

Show

Imagine parent teacher interviews with this person. Still you have an almost impossibly successful commander, who managed to do all that while pregnant and giving birth. I'm not sure what type of mother she is, probably rigid and possibly distant to hold down such a career during that time. Similarly, although a soldier she defiantly made it on her brains. You can't be the best physical condition for 30 years, although she is probably in pretty good shape all things considered.

[Vknight]

Here are some more, so you enjoy it

"What do you say too death? Not Today"

"Well I accidentally made a harem again."

"A mind needs a book as a sword needs a whetstone, if its too keep its edge."

"Laughter is poison to fear"

[Cluedrew]

Spoiler: "Your handling this pretty well for an office worker." "Are you kidding? I haven't had this much fun since I broke out of the maximum security section of North Peak Prison after getting captured as part of my little brothers plan to overthrow the Yarrian Empire." "... I feel there is a story here we are missing."

Show

I enjoy characters with a bit of history. This one seems to have quite a bit. For some reason I see this character coming in part way through a campaign, when you need to explain where some capable other character who hasn't been involved until now came from. Plus they seem to have some experience, of the sneaky improvisational get out of jail kind.

Spoiler: "And, just to make sure no one misunderstood, instead of opening the door she tore it off its hinges and walked in with it under her arm."

Show

Powerful and direct, will make a scene to prove a point. I'm feeling she is some sort of power-fighter martial artist, because of the strength required for ripping of hinges.

Spoiler: "How long is forever?"

Show

Probably longer than you think it is. But why does it matter? Are they immortal and have forever? Do they have to wait forever for something they want? Do they have a duty they must uphold forever? Do they wish the forever could be over?

Spoiler: "... is so badass he once wrote a math test in his own blood." "I forgot my pencil. And the teacher's reaction was worth it."

Show

I'm going to say they have some physical power, they can endure some pain so I'll say they are relatively fine with physical discomfort. A rough past without comfort or maybe just athletic and they exert themselves. Let's say both. And yet here they are writing a math test, so they seem to be in the 'normal world' now. There are rough places in the world that still have math tests, but I think travelling from a bad place to here (where the story starts) is an interesting back story. They are also mischievous, judging from their reaction to the teacher's reaction.

[Cluedrew]

Double post? Are we really running low on quotes? ... We could be, it took me longer than usual to make a set this time.

Spoiler: "Kill me if you can."

Show

Who would say this? Probably someone who doesn't value life to much, but everyone values their own life (mostly). Maybe they really believe the whole survival of the strongest (individually) fittest thing. Probably haven't suffered major any misfortune in life that would force them to turn to allies, so perhaps rather inexperienced. Still, probably pretty strong, and slightly mocking and arrogant.

Spoiler: '"Someday" is too late.'

Show

-Akatsuki no Yona

We cannot wait to save the world, the problems exist today and will only worsen with time. Also proactive characters are awesome.

Spoiler: 'The wind tribe has one hell of a high standard for "tottering old geezers"...'

Show

-Akatsuki no Yona

Someone who claims to be old but moves like the wind. Would probably be a hard character to play in a longer campaign because they are unlikely to be getting much stronger as play continues. So probably in a short game or maybe an NPC.

Spoiler: "Most people don't realize it because he is bright and full of energy, but his social skills are terrible to non-existent."

Show

You know most people without a lot of social skills are portrayed as withdrawn and quiet, and maybe that reflects the proportions in real life but its not always the case. Sometimes they are very loud. Hopefully they can still be likable in an awkward way though, it is a game, hang out with people you enjoy.

[SirBellias]

Here are some defining quotes from our characters in the past. They probably can be used to make new ones (if only for joke campaigns).

"Bruce, you should come to the bathroom with us, let us eat you alive, and not struggle." - Definitely not a vampire.

"The Tarot cards have stopped calling me a little bitch." - A highly incompetent fortune teller who knows what is up.

"I guess we have to go save him." - The reluctant hero.

"YOUR MOTHER WAS A GECKO!" - Ye who gives dragons a good old fashioned taunting.

"That sounds stupid."
"Of course it's stupid, that's why we're gonna do it."

"There's always a centipede cult, if you know where to look." - The Jaded Traveler

[Sinewmire]

"Unhappy is the land that breeds no hero"
"No. Unhappy is the land that needs a hero."
- Brecht, the life of Galileo.

"If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you are going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word."
-Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms. Words for a paladin to live by.

"The good are innocent and create justice. The bad are guilty, which is why they invent mercy."
-Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad. This ranks amonst the most terrifying "hero" speeches I've hever heard.

"This ain't no place for no hero. This ain't no place for no 'better man'. This ain't no place for no hero to call home."
-The Heavy, Short Change Hero. Very bitter, lamenting that circumstances are forcing people to be bad.

"Do not say that it is a fight we cannot win. I prefer to think of it as a fight we must never lose."
- Warblade from the Konrad Novels, talking about the fight against Chaos, mankind's base and corrupt nature.

[TheTeaMustFlow]

In honour of the anniversary of two great battles, and their two great miscommunications:

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre. C'est de la folie. - It's magnificent, but it's not war. It's madness.

Uncommon valor was a common virtue.

Our armament must be adequate to the needs, but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defence but in ourselves.

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.

There aren't any great men. There are just great challenges that ordinary men like you and me are forced by circumstances to meet.

Hit hard, hit fast, hit often.

I never trust a fighting man who doesnt smoke or drink.

If anything gets in my way, we'll shoot first and argue afterwards.

On a completely unrelated note: How do you put the "originally posted by X" line in a quote?

[Cluedrew]

The format (with '{}' replacing '[]') is: {QUOTE=Attributed To} with the closing tag the same. You can also add a ';XYZ' after the original poster name, where XYZ is the post number, if you are grabbing the it from somewhere else on the forum that will create an arrow that links to that post. I think it only works with post numbers. It might also handle various other addresses but I've never tried and I don't think there is a manual for this. If you check the reply with quote or multiquote buttons it will generate the quote for you, I figured out how to do it by looking at those.

“In her business, there were many who laughed at honest men, calling them easy pickings. That was a fallacy. Being honest did not make one naive. A dishonest fool and an honest fool were equally easy to scam; you just went about it in different ways. However, a man who was honest and clever was always, always more difficult to scam than someone who was both dishonest and clever.”
“He found himself weeping. Not for the future or for the emperor. These were the tears of a man who saw before himself a masterpiece. True art was more than beauty; it was more than technique. It was not just imitation. It was boldness, it was contrast, it was subtlety. In this book, Gaotona found a rare work to rival that of the greatest painters, sculptors, and poets of any era. It was the greatest work of art he had ever witnessed. Gaotona held the book reverently for most of the night. It was the creation of months of fevered, intense artistic transcendence -- forced by external pressure, but released like a breath held until the brink of collapse. Raw yet polished. Reckless, but calculated. Awesome, yet unseen. So it had to remain. If anyone discovered what Shai had done, the emperor would fall. Indeed, the very empire might shake. [...] As morning broke, Gaotona slowly -- excrutiatingly -- stood up beside his hearth. He clutched the book, that matchless work of art, and held it out. Then he dropped it into the flames.”

“No matter how good you were, someone was better. Live by that knowledge, and you would never grow so confident that you became sloppy.”
