I played with a couplea guys that would base all of their important npc's off of either celebrities or quirky people from the past. They'd both round robin gm, and use certain celebrities to grate on eachother. One guy had Patrick Stewart in his role from Dune as an eternal fighter instructor, to abuse the other guy, who in turn would have Captain Kirk eternally show up in one guise or another. One time, Kirk, Spock, Sulu, and Scotty were a gang of S&M leatherboy rogues out to rob the characters. They'd kill Kirk, and he'd keep regenerating 10 minutes later. They searched him for magic...rings..nothing. It finally turned out Kirk had a ring of regeneration in a Prince Albert piercing. Then, one of the guys had this one celebrity npc, and it got to where if he even MENTIONED that guy's name, the other guy would just get up and leave the table and quit playing for two weeks.
Then, they had the Lana Lang from Smallville as a necromancer, and Xena and Gabrielle showed up a lot. One of them played a bard based off of George Clooney in O Brother Where Art Thou? Complete with Dapper Dan Pommade. I started basing all of my characters on Sam L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction. "Yeah, give me my sword." "Uhh...which one is it?" "It's the one that says b** m*********** on it." Also, the Malfoy kid from Harry Potter showed up a lot. It's humiliating to get worked by a hi-level sorceror based off of that little git. "Scared, Potter?"
"Why you keep calling me Potter, you little rat-soup-eating, born insecure ****** *********!!!!"
One of the other players I play with every other week used to have this fighter that had a quirk, it started out with every time he killed an opponent he would pee on it after the battle was done and eventually it lead to every time we turned around he was peeing on something....
there was this one guy that had a fighter he names Charging Dan. CD would charge into every battle and burst through every door he came across kicking it. well dan never wore any boots so as time went by it kinda got old him kicking in every door so the DM decided that he was going to solve the situation and teach him a leason by giving him a nasty splinter after kicking in one door.
CD never pulled out the splinter even after the DM asked what he was going to do.
time went by and CD never took it out and the DM informed him that his toe was getting all red and swollen.
CD paid no attention to it and kept on kicking in doors as usual. a while later the DM informed CD that his toe was smelling and was turning a greenish color. Still CD did nothing, eventually The Mighty Charging Dan died of a splinter in the toe. lol needless to say the players in that group never again went bare foot again and never ever kicked in doors.
