Sat	Suleman	Character concept idea: Mysterious bruiser who helps protect the ladies of New Orleans's streets. Always wears a flat cap, and very often smoking a thick, self-rolled, foul-smelling cigarette that might or might not be cannabis.
Sat	Psy	m'lady
Sat	Suleman	(Is not actually as mysterious as seems, people just never ask)
Sat	anneF	m'lady [tips flat cap]
Sat	Suleman	(might actually be a lady)
Sat	anneF	m'ght be a lady [tips flat cap]
Sat	Suleman	I don't even know
Sat	Suleman	If this keeps up, the character will really be a m'lady.
Sat	Suleman	With all the "ladies" the character seeks to "protect" just rolling their eyes
Sat	anneF	i've got a young survivalist hunter lady from the boonies who set course for the big city after game started drying up around her area, looking for gainful employment and figuring she could maybe make it in the police or teaching actors to shoot or something. after hanging around clubs a lot she's found herself sort-of-freelancing for the mafia
Sat	anneF	chews bark and looks threatening but isn't actually that scary attitudewise, just doesn't do conversation well
Sat	Suleman	Hold on, here's an idea. What if my character is misguidedly trying to "protect" your character as the m'lady they are?
Sat	anneF	yeah, that's what i was driving at
Sat	Suleman	Okay, cool, so I'm playing... a cross-dressing black smoke magician woman with delusions of chivalry? What?
Sat	anneF	she's fine on her own, makes a lot of excusing gestures, wonders if they know where any cheap steakhouses are
Sat		*** PornStorageB quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
Sat	danni	she protects m'ladies but is not actually a lesbian
Sat	Suleman	What a weird concept, but it grew organically, so I'm rolling with it.
Sat	Psy
Sat	anneF	unlike a wizard doctor, who protects maladies
Sat	anneF	"summer fashion proposal: a burning car goes with any outfit"
Sat	Suleman	I wonder, is "Nice guy" an existing SW hindrance.

Sat	Suleman	emphasis on the airquotes
Sat	danni	what is the campaign setting?
Sat	Suleman	Deadlands Noir, New Orleans
Sat	danni	could i be a cajun wizard?
Sat	danni	hoodoo
Sat	danni	voodoo
Sat	danni	etc.
Sat	Suleman	If you're here 17.5 hours from now and Krinn is okay with it, why not.
Sat	Psy	http://twiststreet.tumblr.com/post/105724564995 hfffffff
Sat	Noser	sule: seems like it'd take multiple major hindrances to match the archetype, but I'm not sure which ones
Sat	Suleman	Deadlands Noir has the Lech hindrance, which is: "he suffers –2 to resist Persuasion in Tests of Will or Social Conflicts with those he’s attracted to. "
Sat	Noser	that plus delusional could work
Sat	Suleman	That's not a perfect fit, though.
Sat	Suleman	Maybe add in "Short temper" for when things don't go the way she envisions them.
Sat	Psy	mechanically it is
Sat	Psy	oh we
Sat	Psy	re going with female character
Sat	Psy	okay
Sat	Suleman	I don't know, man!
Sat	Noser	I don't think there'd be a distinction between lesbian and transmale in social constructions of gender in 1930s america
Sat	danni	well she's not a lesbian
Sat	Noser	oh.
Sat	danni	just really chivalric
Sat	danni	unless sule wants to make her one
Sat	Suleman	I don't know much about the character yet, this isn't set in stone by any means.
Sat	Suleman	The concept is potentially pretty uncomfortable, so I might change some of these details.
Sat	anneF	drag king?
Sat		*** SamsungGalaxPsy joined #superdickery
Sat	anneF	there were 30's drag kings
Sat	SamsungGalaxPsy	Is drag kings a thing now
Sat	Noser	yeah, I believe they were seen as a subset of lesbian
Sat	Suleman	I mean, cross-dressing misogynist black woman, played by a white European dude?
Sat	Suleman	That is a recipe for disaster that I am not entirely comfortable with, especially if other players don't think it's cool.
Sat	anneF	drag kings have been a thing for a while
Sat	Death_Was_Silent	Delusional: Thinks she's John Larroquette's character from Night Court
Sat	Death_Was_Silent	and now time for the eating
Sat	anneF	are there any non-white europeans or americans who are gonna be playing this game
Sat	SamsungGalaxPsy	What time is the game
Sat	Death_Was_Silent	tomorrow at noon CST
Sat	SamsungGalaxPsy	Is that 11 or 1 est
Sat	danni	well i might be asleep
Sat	danni	so
Sat	anneF	 a drag king, lookin' all charming
Sat	anneF	1 est as far as i know
Sat	SamsungGalaxPsy	cool
Sat	Suleman	Well, we know what to do when playing despicable characters: Shit all over their horrible views and actions in-game
Sat	anneF	sure
Sat	anneF	i am going to be...seemingly dim, mostly quiet and all stoic-like, easily thrown by conversation, keeps things simple
Sat	Suleman	My approach to character creation in general seems to be "I really should play a character with trait X, because... hold on, WHY should that stop me? Let's do it!"
Sat	Suleman	And that is why I've played a gay dwarf zombie, a redneck necromancer, a mute gunslinger who talks through his parrot and an Autobot.
Sat	Pfisiar	 something about that doesn't parse well
Sat	Suleman	They're all the same character.
Sat	Suleman	Sometimes it backfires, though. The doctor with Bell's palsy just didn't work, at all.
Sat	danni	which is to say you?
Sat	Suleman	Well, yes, I'm a mute redneck dwarf Autobot with two guns and a parrot boyfriend.
