Character Sacrilege = Something that would cause character exit, or make them no longer fun to play.

Example: Let's say your character was out to make it big, be rich, famous, and living the high-life. Character Sacrilege would be... succeeding at his dreams. Once he had those things, he wouldn't go out and risk his neck any longer, you could theoretically change the motivation to something else, but that would also change the character. In stead of being the money-hungry morally ambiguous individual, it suddenly changes him to something else and therefore would ruin the character entirely.

Another example would be like playing a character with a special personality... and then having them face something in which they MUST compromise (often times through some sort of genius paradox) or have some sort of other role thrust upon them. (Self defense, for some reason, rarely makes this happen) so, it could be some sort of skill, obligation, trauma, or other aspect that sours the fun of the character to the player.


Here is one that has caused many a character suicide... You make a bikini model and then have her suffer some sort of scarring injury. Players will hurl these sex symbols into swarms of orcs and undead (without any regular defenses) like no berserker ever would.

All of these are examples of Character Sacrilege.

Looks like I answered a question without noticing we had a new page! On the bright side, it seems that my understanding of what Character Sacrilege is was bang on the money :D

Okay, so I'm going to say that those who have shown interest but do not have a functional character will be passed over for other more active players or we will simply begin without them. Let's say that Monday will be the cut off? While I can understand that stuff comes up, it is pretty impolite to just leave people hanging (especially if you know it is coming up), and should also not be super surprising if the group decides to move on without you.

That being said, if you have a functional character already, but have something come up, we are going to start but you are welcome to jump on in when you get back.

Does this sound fair to you guys? I mean, I don't want to hang people out to dry... but I am also SO ready to get my game on.

Sounds fair to me, and realistically there needs to be a cutoff point for people who don't want to commit to this. Especially since there are others who have expressed interest in joining, keeping slots filled by inactive people seems pointless. Monday sounds like a good cutoff point, it gives people all weekend to fix their characters, which should be a pretty brief exercise anyway.

@Deserted
Okay, ehre are the answers for your questions:

1, yes I made it from phone. Gonna rewrite the shitty parts.

2, you know that meme that shows and ordinary picture with one guy that doesn't fir in the whole image? Yeah my character is THAT GUY. So as far as I am concerned my details give a PERFECT explanation from the eye of my mentally weak character

3, lol if you take me for such a pussy that I would be offended by a character dying then I feel kinda shit. If you have ever talked to any mentally disturbed or crazy person you know that they have literally nothing that ruins them, their plans, and their life/mood in general. Part from death. And the arrow to the knee is jsut yet another in character TRIVIA reference that makes my charcater a weirdo.

@6slyboy6 So, you are telling me that having your character injured would not cause character exit. So, in that case it does not fit Character Sacrilege. So, go ahead and leave that space blank (just like Intrigue and Character Ideal, it is okay to have empty spots on this character sheet. It just means you have nothing in mind) unless you can think of something that you would say "why would he keep risking his life?" or "He sucks now, I want a different character."

So, go take a look at the "roles in the party" hider on my original character post, and pick two of those that explain the sort of role you want your character to fit in. Please read the descriptions. Keep in mind that magic is only a special effect that could be applied to any role I have listed, just like you could do it with technology (for instance, a wizard isn't "a magic dude" it is someone who can come up with a bunch of different potent ideas to solve problems. So in other words, a wizard could be defined as Spock or Iron-Man instead of just Merlin.)

@Deserted
Roger that sir. I really think thought that if he dies I would want a different character.

@6slyboy6Even if it is a plot device? Such as resurrection or a mental illusion, or heck, even come retrieve a counterpart from another dimension? Or even play your character as a ghost? Anything is possible. So, you mean that those scenarios are a no go. Is that correct?

@Deserted If he dies and becomes a ghost then no. If he dies and resurrects, which in my book counts as living then I can live with it. He can always be something like an NPC character after he dies, but I prefer keeping my dudes dead once they get murdered.

And as a sidenote to dimensioanl counterparts, thats the main reason I liked Rick and Morty up until the moment they left their original dimension. After that I was just like WTF.

Okay, perfectly understandable. I just want to make sure you aren't screaming "Don't do this to me" to a GM with your character sheet when really you would be totally fine with the twists and turns they were planning for you.

okay sure

@6slyboy6You need to pick a second role in addition to your first pick. This is the backup just in case a campaign has trouble with one of them, and also fleshes out your character's ability a little more. If you want him just flat out lethal, then a fighter would be a good compliment. Right now, he is a weapon, but has no means of protecting or providing for himself. I'm pretty sure that is not what you were going for. So use the second role to explain what else he is good at doing.

@Deserted i cannot find the classes.

@6slyboy6That would be because there aren't any.

Please read the whole instructions on the original post and pay attention. I cannot help you if you don't read what I write. I don't mind clarifying at all, but most of what you have been asking was already addressed if not by myself, then by another player.

tl;dr

going with Wildcard cause he is crazy

@6slyboy6 Dude, you are gonna need to kick your tl;dr habit. Like, how is that going to play out when we are actually playing? We are storing information in all of that stuff you aren't reading. We aren't going to bust out the cliff-notes version of the game because you won't read what we write. People will just keep posting and leave you in the dust. Then if you do post with that habit, it's going to throw the game for a loop as you start having your character do things that make no sense.

@Deserted Oh that's what that means.

I'll change it to something that makes more sense.

@Deserted Sorry this has gotten a bit meta for my taste. Wish you luck with your group, happy gaming!

@DJAtomika It's no big deal, I just want to make sure I'm not driving anybody crazy or walking on egg shells around them.

@Deserted
Maybe one way is to use the leverly placed mention system whenever stuff hapens. Real easy, doesn't a second to do and can improve everything
