Newsish

Remember that half-assed essay I turned in?  I got a B!  I...  I just don't know.  I guess the teacher's an easy grader.

Still having fun with Fr. Gil.  Wrote another ficlet on his account and planning a few more.  Also met a fellow Old Fritz/Prussia shipper in the aph dressing room.  They play... Old Fritz.  We'll have to see if our muses behave... >:3

Going to play my new GURPS character in a one-on-one session with the GM on Tuesday.  I miss not playing with a klepto, but that seemed like it was such a big part of who Usurpateur was that I don't want to trot that out for my next character.  Gilbert is still greedy, tho.  I'll have to see how good I am at playing overconfidence.  Usur was sort of semi-retiring.  Gilbert, being based of course on Gilbert Weillschmidt, is much more in-your-face.  I'm playing him as a criminal, of course.  That's pretty much what I play, criminals.  My role-playing abilities are limited to criminals and creepers (creepers being what I cosplay and play in real life).

Anyway, Gilbert Schmidt's a brash, greedy albino conman/thief, a human native of Earth's Fifth Reich.  Fortunately for the alien in our party, he's not actually racist against aliens like most 5th-Reichers.  He's also slightly attractive and charismatic--the charisma I was going to give him anyway, but the attractiveness was because the book says albinos can't be of 'average' appearance, and I didn't want him to be unattractive.  He has quirks of liking birds and beer, and of always wearing a large hat that I hope will somewhat counteract the sun-damage problem of being an albino.  He also has an incompetence in Savoir-faire, which basically means he can never learn high-society manners and is even worse at them than the default.  The one thing that I couldn't really do, in interests of actually building a useful character and not being too creepy, was to give him high skill in shadowing with the quirk of 'follows his friends.'  If I have to remake my character again, tho, I AM going with the creeper idea.  Maybe make a kleptomaniac stalker with a Russia-like personality.  Yeah...  Actually, if I have time, I might make him up beforehand, just in case.

What am I talking about?  One of my classes was canceled today.  I have plenty of time!  Ok, off to make Back-up Creeper 1.

There are normal looking albinos or unattractive albinos say it ain't so! Anime, video games, and the Elric saga must have been lying to me. (There is an average looking albino guy where I work.)

Well I could have made him unattractive! I just can't really imagine an unattractive Gilbert. Prussia is the sexy country. (Interesting! :O)
