Re: Testing - This Isn't Balanced
YAY! :D Ok, here goes!
GM: What kind of character do you have in mind?
P1: Well, the idea I have in mind is technically two characters.
GM: Wait, what?
P1: It'll be two people inside the same body.
GM: Is your character schizophrenic?
P1: No, they're-
GM: Or does he have MPD?
P1: No! It'll be two people, but it'll be like I'm one character.
GM: Sounds like he's possessed.
P1: No! Well, actually, yes...
GM: Explain, please.
P1: One character will be a normal teenager - short for his age, rather hesitant and shy at first, but that'll change.
GM: Okay.
P1: He also loves playing games and solving puzzles. The other character is the spirit of an ancient Pharaoh.
GM: Hold on - Pharaoh? Where on earth did that-
P1: Hear me out, okay?! Anyways, my first character solved a weird puzzle and now the second character inhabits his mind. Whenever there's a fight or a game to be played, the second guy will take over the first guy's body and totally pwn the enemies.
GM: How does your first character feel about being possessed?
P1: He doesn't know about the second character yet.
GM: So the second guy takes over the first guy without the first guy's permission? Frequently?
P1: Yeah, and the first guy has gaps in his memory from that.
GM: ...
P1: Oh, here's some concept art I drew for them.
GM: *looks at drawings* What the heck is up with that hair?!
P1: It's natural!
GM: It looks dyed to me, not to mention loaded with hair gel... And they look a lot alike, but definitely like different people. You'll have to roll whenever they switch so no one suspects -
P1: No! No one is supposed to be able to tell when they switch!
GM: Why... **headdesk** Never mind.
