Hi. I'm Shaddus, and I'm an apish, sub-human lout. I play an illithoid who is very nice to children, loves novices, and makes furniture. I enjoy walks on the beach, kittens, and rainbows.

I think above all you need to realize that there IS no "evil" or good race, no evil or good city/forest. It's all shades of grey, and for each Celestine that is nice and holy, there is another who delights in bloodshed and persecution. For each ur'Guard who enjoys a bit of mindless killing in his offtime, there's another who takes time to help novices and gain power for his city while taking said novices hunting.


It's all you. It's not the role, it's what you personally put into it.

I thought Shaddus was just acting...REALLY well...I mean, I've seen the deathsights involving him...and he IS a ninja...

As to the no reason to limit yourself to one character: Just watch out, lest you become like me; A walking Alt Brigade.

Very well. Thank you all for all the advice. As much as it goes against my obsessive compulsive tendencies, I'm off to create a character and test the waters.

Watching most people RP illithoids makes me cringe.
