Well, isn't that wonderful! And here I was thinking that kind of personal aspect would have bored you. Plus the sort of 'zany' things I've been talking about are much easier to make up as apposed to a believable and relatable character, do you know how hard it is to be original and still do that? Perhaps I've gotten a bit cynical about roleplayers as of late, but thank you for the compliment and the gentle let-downs. It shows good character from a GM.

Much appreciated! I've found that people tend to make very interesting, original characters when they're truly invested, though. In my experience, the best way to tell a story is through a cast of likable, developed characters.
