Variety is the spice of (freeforming) life

 One of the things I like about freeforming is the sheer range of characters you can play. I don’t think you get as much variety elsewhere in gaming. Anyway, here are some of types of characters I’ve played over the years.

Alien, prime minister, ambassador

  • Queen Victoria’s evil manservant
  • A prime minister
  • Rudolph Valentino
  • The Baker from Into the Woods
  • Romeo
  • Sinbad
  • A golfer
  • A WW2 cashiered American officer
  • Several spies
  • Several soldiers of various ranks
  • A greedy banker
  • Several ambassadors
  • A musketeer
  • Several pirates
  • A Japanese moneylender
  • A baseball player
  • A New York gang member
  • Several vampires
  • A retail apprentice
  • Several murderers
  • Numerous captains, officers and other ship’s crew
  • An angel
  • An actor
  • Christopher Marlow
  • A civil servant
  • A sock puppet
  • A gangster
  • The head of a powerful family
  • The doge of Venice
  • Several doctors
  • A bridegroom
  • Several aliens
  • A Russian soccer player
  • A Russian political officer
  • A bishop
  • An airport manager
  • A Roman tavern owner
  • A nurse
  • A bouncer
  • A mediaeval scribe
  • A captain of the guard
  • A time-traveller

And no doubt many that I’ve forgotten about.

Rudolph Valentino (and wife), Japanese moneylender (and kabuki actor)
