Favorite Roleplaying Characters! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What a difficult question! I've not really thought about it before, I suppose, but now that I do, I'm finding that the younger the character, the more attached I am (which may explain why I have more difficulty attaching myself to Elvish characters...) I really enjoyed writing Sondo in my RPG 'Sailing Away.' In many ways, I suppose he is a male version of me, slightly exaggerated in some points and diminished in others. Actually, if you combine him and my first ever character in the Green Dragon, Lily (who I also grew very attached to), you'd probably have a fair idea of me. (Hm... if that's true, Nuru probably knows me pretty well by now

) Ah... back on topic. The two other characters that spring to mind are Siamak from 'Shadow of the West' and Adranel from 'Siege of Gundabad.' The former was a really interesting experience for me because (especially in the beginning) he was so different from most of the characters I've written. When I wrote Adranel, I alternated between feeling really bad for her and wanting to knock some sense into her... Another very interesting experience. So I guess my two 'favorites' are Sondo and Siamak, then Adranel, and Lily in a close fourth. I still sometimes wonder about what might have happened to those last two...

As for a favorite character of someone elses... I'll have to think about that one. So many characters to choose from... Hm. I'll let you know when (if

) I ever decide.
