What would u be?

[theboatman]

Ordinary human, no question. What could more heroic and challenging than going up against the forces of evil with no supernatural abilities whatsoever.

[The Doctor]

A Wizard that casts spells in jibberish rather than latin.  There would be nothing more satisfying for me than screaming RAKANISHOO and having a ridiculously large fireball erupt from my palm.

Very Peter Carroll - magical glossolalia.

[Hank]

I'd play an ordinary guy from the backwoods of Oklahoma. Good with firearms and tracking from hunting, and fights dirty in a brawl. Smart, but was only in the lower middle class until oil was found under his land. He is not insanely wealthy, but well enough off that he really doesn't have to work much.

He'd show up in the Chicago area looking for a sibling that went missing and discover that some nasty critter or black magic user had taken them. This would give him a motivation to learn about various supernatural nasties and how to stalk and fight them. This guy wouldn't really get in fights per say, as much as he would learn about a creature, stalk it, and when the time was right take it out from over a hundred yards away with a rifle.

What I like about this guy is that he would have to come up with innovative weapon and ammunition combinations for different creatures.

Anyway, that was just my two cents.   

[Rel Fexive]

I had an idea... for a madman.

He starts off as Joe Schmoe but with a little undiscovered magical talent.  But then some awful thing happens: his family is killed in some horrific way by some generic (or plot-significant) nasties.  His mind snaps - and he begins to live out a fantasy life, lost in his madness, righting wrongs and fighting evil, backed up by his magic which is being used unconsciously.  Maybe he thinks he's a paladin, or a heroic knight errant, or a mystical warrior of the Far East; whatever works.

Basically inspired by Robin Williams' character in the movie The Fisher King.

[Gnome]

Id be a Gnome


a magical gnome.

[Cowl]

I would be as close to Cowl as I could legally be without copyright infringement....he's just so cool. Suave, sophisticated, mysterious, powerful....everything I want in a character. He's also got the fun side-effect of being deliciously evil...


But really, I'd be a necromancer. I know, evil, bad people, I'm horrible, but you have to have evil characters...spices up the game.

[Brodie]

I'm guessing Supernatural Entity covers changelings, since they're half-human/half-fae, so that's what I ended up choosing. Starting out, they're barely more than normal humans, but some have perks. Plus, I like the whole having-to-choose aspect of their life, whether to follow their fae heritage or stay human.

Heh, even in a Dresden game I wouldn't play a magic user. I don't know why, but I've never been fond of playing magic-using characters, even when I was in a WoD Mage game (I played a Hermetic and RARELY used magic). I'm play a shugenja in a Legend of the Five Rings game, but that was just so I could expand beyond the straight forward type I usually play in L5R. Though, my shugenja does have a katana and knows how to use it.

But, I'm likely to find myself in the role of GM in a Dresden game. I introduced the books to the people in my group, after all, and I've been searching for a system to use until the official game is out.

[Wolfhowls]

Motal..Just give me an M-4 and enough rounds to hold my own and I'll be one happy lil camper

[Phoenix Talon]

I'll take a gifted mortal, or one of the low-power spell casters in the city.  Nothing which would allow me to blow up a city block without significant planning (not a la Harry when he gets pissed and tends to slag things).

[Salaam]

I would definately be a new member of the Order of Saint Francis.  Think Alphas.  I would have just gotten my new form so I wouldn't be very used to it.  Not sure what animal though.

[lancescott70]

Gifted Mortal no doubt about it. I have a couple of ideas in mind. One being a were creature (probably either bear or wolf). The other being an ancestral warrior. A mortal imbued with power by talismans with enhanced abilities and a few minor powers. I have a lot of interest in my families Norse and Gaelic ancestry and their mythology so I am sure I could come up with some interesting items/abilities.

[BolshevikMuppet]

I'd likely end up as Justine.  Damn those sexy-ass vampires....

[Rabidpancakes]

I'd have to go the route of the Wizard, maybe a warden

[Matrix Refugee (formerly Morraeon)]

Toss-up between Gifted Mortal and Supernatural Entity (Is it possible to play White Court vamps? Because I'd love to play an Inari-like Wampire)

[The Corvidian]

What about an entity, that doesn't mind humans, but scares the s##t out of other supernatural entities? Some ordinary looking John Q. Public that scares the Erlking, Mab, the Summer Queen, the Vampire Courts, and gives wizards the heebe jeebies, but doesn't do a thing to low level practioners, or mainstream humans.
