Have you ever role-played a drunken dwarf (or other MMO oddity)?

I am Bill Nighy, and I think playing an undead human patterned after an undead human in film doesn't make me odd. Just unoriginal. Sigh.

I have had a crazed Dracnari who had a nervous break down... 

A female mhun that was extremely short, who had a small person complex, and only dated trolls..

I have a self loathing warrior..

And now, I play a Aslaran who talks in riddles, but who isn't exactly the smartest person in the basin..

Do away with the honours line for marriage, lose the bloodline system, encourage roleplay, thought out characters and lines in that manner. Don't let ooc concerns or ethics ruin a game where that have little meaning. If you want to have a harem of 8 wives, and the associated drama that goes with, go for it. I choose not to, but I'll never begrudge anyone else the right to (apart from the ig spouse of course.)

Didn't play it on any IRE game, but I once played a wounded war veteran on a fantasy MUD who had lost both legs above the knee. Not sure that sort of thing would work here though.

Greys is a bit quirky but no cliche.

I once played an atavian who couldn't fly and was afraid of heights.

Never have

Winterlynn is strangely odd in the fact that she is...well...she thinks very differently than most of her kind...She has this wierd thing about killing things that are "people like" to the point where she hated it, until one day she came the conclution that everything in the world was immortal and just took longer to reform their bodies. ...She also gets increadably upset if any of her corpses decay in her hands, it literly hurts her feelings because she feels as though she killed the creature for nothing and that it's body was wasted. hah..She also is a bit obsessive over certain things....

Daryn's been mostly standard. Dwarven Warden, can sometimes be found drinking himself half to death. Honour, Glory, all that jazz. I guess what sets him apart is his romantic aspect. He used to be a real player. Seen it all, done most.

i did have an alt once, though, who was a Hashani Alchemist who was a Xoran. He could breathe narcotic plumes of smoke by burning a mild venom he could secrete, and he looked at everything in life as a science project. but then I got bored with him.

:)

too weird

nope

No but I was a drunken atavian that tried to fly.

In a human's body, though.

"Roleplaying" a drunken dwarf?

I think every Dwarf I know drinks to some extent... Still, I haven't had any of them try to impress me with the size of their "hammer."

I once changed race and became a dwarf purely so I wouldn't be so weak at hunting before the race changes... I am pretty sure I drank alot... but it was tequila... Back to Siren and nothing has changed I still drink tequila.

I did once try to roleplay a blind person, it didn't work that well within the confines of the universe.

no

My character is completely normal! >_>

I'm just not good enough at rp to play an oddity without messing it up.

I play a country boy rabbit.

I played a raja which was ok, but it totally wasn't who my character is after a certain point. So, I RPed a race change, set up a story for how the change happened and I think playing a lascivious, boozy satyr is far more amusing. 

I've played a mad ranting torch-wielding idiot of a holobomber that just wanted to see the world burn :)  Loads and loads of fun.

In Aetolia I played an energetic imp in the Teradrim. He had lots of verbal mannerisms and physical antics going on. For about two days. Then he became undead, and lost all his personality. I didn't intend for his personality to completely evaporate, just for it to become more lifeless - but that more or less translated into "no personality at all". Someone in the guild made an OOC comment like, "Great, another emo undead," and I had to explain that I wasn't actually trying to do that. In retrospect it was a mistake to make him that way, because a character with no personality is no fun to play.

Yes I have.

i was an energetic imp in the teradrim guild too, wasn't as fun as the lycan though

this may irritate people with constant suspensions of disbelief.

But I had a friend who played "Doc the Drunk" in Achaea.  Great fun!

I am a drunk dwarf.

Really, I try to stick to just one main character...and the odd stuff he does is small, most won't notice the quirks. Keeps it interesting when people do pick up on it though!

Oddities like this add a great  eccentricity to games for me. I mean, it'd be aggravating if they were everywhere, but done well, they make things more fun.

Stereotypes are easy to play, at least, but they get boring fast.

My source of inspiration.

(Not really, but it does make for a black hole of reading and time lost.)

I have

If you haven't role-played a drunken Dwarf you haven't lived.

Never had

I always try to remember things like wings, fur, tails, horns etc. when emoting - different races can give you lots of interesting little nervous tics to play with. Some rajas twitch their tails, grecht (bat people) might complain about their wings being cramped in their clothes, etc.

It sounds like fun but I am usually thinking about other things.

Unless you force your rp on other people. I won't pay any attention to a drunken nobody with a terrible text accent.

I vote to put in pk cause for oddities

I once played a deaf womanizer who also doubled as a kind of detective.  Did not work out so well, but was interesting!

I cant say i have

Not yet

I wouldn't call a Drunken Dwarf an oddity!

I am one..

You're not a real Achaean until you've roleplayed as a drunken dwarf.

I have not

Me neither

When I made Manni I had no clue what to expect. I just did what sounded fun, while trying to figure out what the hell was happening

I have not

Omg

I'd like to note that a drunken dwarf is less of an oddity than a fantasy cliche - not that can't be done well, of course! A dwarf with a very delicate constitution and palate who is constantly remarking on this and has the manner and speech of an Edwardian gentleman - now THAT would be an oddity!

Why are dwarves typecast as drunks, anyway? Of all fictional RPG races, why freaking dwarves?

Dwarves aren't for me.

Recently, citymate had brain replaced with sludgeworm, which I thought was kinda fun, quirky RP.

An Alcoholic, harmless pervert style Dwarf character who had a thing for ladies behinds. To the point where one night of improv suddenly had me writing up his poem "Ode to Asses"

They're hilarious characters if done right, or outright batshit mental and lethal if done right in a totally different way.

Nope

I have not

never

I've tried, but there was never anyone to talk to, so I gave up.

I generaly don't like dwarves.   Mostly cause there are a lot more etractive races to play. how vain is that? :(

not really.

Loboshigaru monk is common-ish?

Being odd/original is hard in these parts

The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.

a trickster goblin is fun to RP

I frequently play odd-ball characters, so who knows what the weirdest one was. Out of the characters I'm currently playing, though, it'd probably have to be this one witch who basically traded her sanity for immortality, Lovecraft-style. She's generally irrational, doesn't particularly care about social taboos, and will eat just about anything. Also, someone she fell in love with died, so the source of her immortality gave her a zombie cat made from his corpse to make her feel better/stop crying about it.

Burnor was a cool character to play as.  He always drunk and was an okay person to play as.  It was kind of annoying because I would always make him too drunk to do anything and then I would die from alcohol poisoning.  It is a lot of fun if you can do it right...

nope, but I have known a few in my time.

A Faerie being possessed by a mutated humanoid abomination with a level of bloodlust that went beyond anything else in the game.  It spent it's time either fighting constantly in a wave of bloodlust that killed anything near it while doing everything it could to keep them alive and in pain as long as possible.  It routinely captured, tortured, and released it's favorite playthings with new marks and brands to show for it - and it loved learning about biology and physiology to better use.

Along with the sheer brutality of it, the thing had a passing interest in psychology and a love of just screwing with people's heads.  "Oh no, here comes the horrible monst..is it rubbing against us and purring like a cat?"

There was almost never a plan for it, and it was more a force of nature than anything else.  It was a LOT of fun to play.

...tried a dwarfaholic yet, but I have tried a few other races and classes!

Never have and most likely never will

...that ISN'T drunk all the time.

I play a Rajamala that doesn't act like a house cat

... is a common racial stereotype an "oddity"? You want to play an oddity, play a Returned Moredhel in Midkemia, or a vampire in Aetolia willing to risk his life to protect the lives of others, or a Dracnari of Gaudiguch that never drinks, never parties, and always lives by the rules.

credit comment

A drunken dwarf is an oddity? Lol

nope no nej neine njet

Yes!

there are other types of dwarves?! :-)

I'm afraid I'm not really a diversified roleplayer. I tend to stick to one general character theme (mostly lawful good or neutral good) because I'm just that good at it, heh!

drunken dwarf? all the time!
