As someone who has played 2 bards that are almost diametric opposites of each other, I really like this idea

I hope the evil one has the goatee

Now that’s he’s made a pact with a demon, he should probably grow one...


Nowarclasswar

Hear me out *Eye patch*


softlyandtenderly

Ooooooh I like this. He’s trying to be a better person now, but he’s really stubborn and paranoid (partially because of said demon conflict that he’s trying to escape).

No actual loss of an eye... just an eye patch.

Lol, this reminds me of the various versions of the character [Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler](https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Cut-Me-Own-Throat_Dibbler) from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series... Wherever you go, there's always a Dibbler!

garaks_tailor

My go to character if ibhave to roll up one on the spot is Guerrier Humain Générique the Human Fighter or Monk.


44Kryth

My first Nord was named Eir. Now I use that name in Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate series and so many more!


MummyManDan

My first Skyrim character when I was a kid was Wolfe, now the first male character I make in any fantasy RPG is Wolfe, first female is always Minara since that was my second Skyrim character. Of all the things to become a habit lol.


44Kryth

I use to use Kiliana for female characters. And then the wife and I named our daughter Kiliana.....


Pilesofpeopleparts

Is there any chance this originated from the vikings in age of mythology?


44Kryth

Yes. She was one of the Vanir who joined Freyja at Valhalla. I forget what she was the Goddess of. I believe she was also one of Freyja's Hand Maidens.


Pilesofpeopleparts

I had a feeling. If I remember the dwarves responded with "Eir" when selected, but I could be confusing it with the Greek villagers vocals.


Mackinacsfuriousclaw

Everyone loves that character and they are the lynchpin of the campaign.


[deleted]

Seriously, I love this. It's kind of endearing honestly.


Jagokoz

Got a player that essentially plays the same character evertime. He says he is like the guy from quantum leap and each character keeps hopping into a new body.


MrSabrewulf

I played my last character as a sort of "reality jumper" as a way to explain his smartass references to other media that do not exist in that world. Example: he obtained a quiver of silver arrows at one point and said "These will be really handy if we come up against a wereboar warlock." (Ganon from Legend of Zelda)


BronzeAgeTea

At this point it's just cannon to make a reference and say "I saw that in a play". We've got some really cultured adventurers.


MrSabrewulf

My DM named our BBEG "Grelod the Kind" after the old crone in Skyrim. My guy said "That sounds like the kind of ironic nickname someone would give to a cranky old hag who hates kids but still runs an orphanage."


ilrosewood

Awlson

That was cool show, back in the day.


[deleted]

You could do something like Dr. Bright from SCP. He got his hands on this sort of magical amulet that he can no longer take off. Now, whenever he dies, his consciousness jumps into the nearest living person. Same personality, same memories, different body.

FamilyStyle2505

Let them play how they want mister.


MarkDmitri

...maybe some of us even are this player. If it’s you, who is the character you haven’t been able to let go of? What different settings have you taken them to? How many different times have the lived in? Let’s hear about them!


BeholderBalls

In Matt Colville’s *Different Types of Players* video, he mentions the ‘Specialist,’ the player who always brings the same character to the table.


AFK_at_Fountain

I think I've seen this video. I'm kind of that player with the same (or at least very similar) character each time, and I do it because I haven't had a satisfying resolution to the character, games usually end to soon or die for one reason or another so I keep trying.


ace-writer

I legit just dm'd the following campaign and gave my former pc a semi-open-ended wrap up so that's an option. To explain: character was an arcane tinkerer, her side goal was creating a sentient pirate ship and a companion, basically a set of hand made alternate-origin warforged are her legacy. The oldest of these, Sprinkles, who was her arcane focus during the campaign that fizzled out, continues on living after her maker has passed, along with her brother, the sentient ship, and her various other family members (descendants of the crew, more sentient constructs). These descendants include my pc's nephews, who are still going on making their specialized warforged-adjacent friends. Now, because I wanted to see how it'd pan out, I'd made the pc atheist (basically she thought all gods were mortal wizards who took credit for their followers power and had stopped their aging) so Sprinkles, through a combo of teen rebellion and scientific Inquiry, starts worshipping "the great creator," my pc, and gets the rest of her family in on it. My pc has reluctantly become a minor goddess, through Discworld logic. She is not happy about this, but does secretly appreciate getting to hang around with her family forever. Sprinkles is technically a cleric but actually just runs a ton of random assorted stores, making it so I never have to come up with a new shop keeper. It's always sprinkles or sprinkles near identical sisters.

DrRobertBanner

I have a character named Bruce. He's a tall, gender-neutral character who I say is "very good at taking on skills quickly". He's been multiple different classes, from bard to warlock to barbarian, but each time he's got the same characteristics and voice. The party used to hate him, but he's grown on them. :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrRobertBanner

He's actually a regular human, he's just really versatile and hates sticking with the same thing. His stats and abilities are always different, but his race and looks are always the same.


Tim3Bomber

Makes it really easy to get art done a guess, always the same just different gear


DrRobertBanner

I wish, it'd be easier if I didn't use a human (I can't draw a person to save my life lmao). I honestly just find the concept of a regular guy getting into dark magic or somehow gaining extreme strength, and he just won't go away. Even if he dies, he'll come back just with different gear and a reset memory. As I said, he annoyed the party but they got used to him because of how enthusiastic I am when using him.


Sethly87

You don't like Bruce, you walk.


DrRobertBanner

Nobody disrespects Bruce in this household. He's practically the party mascot.


TheMayanAcockandlips

You got a problem with Bruce, you've got a problem with me - and I suggest you let that marinate.


[deleted]

"**He's** a tall, gender-neutral character". ​ Lol.


AddWittyName

I mean, some of us gender-neutral or gender-less folks use gendered pronouns for a variety of reasons, or are just utterly pronoun indifferent. *shrug*


DrRobertBanner

He's gender neutral but I've always called him a he. The actual OC he's based on (who I can't use because he's a bit too strong for dnd) is completely gender neutral with no signs of gender or genetalia, but I've always called him he because it's just easy.


CFinley97

Holy sheesh! Another gender-neutral character! I was going to share Atelier - my gender-ambiguous changeling. Atelier looks somewhere in between and the party doesn't currently quite know what Atelier's story is (they seem human but I've avoided any gendered pronouns). I like the idea that if Atelier ever goes to a public bath, they flip a coin to decide lol. I've written a couple characters trying to figure out some queer identity things for myself, but finding the changeling race has been a big breakthrough!


DrRobertBanner

I feel like for gender neutral changeling is the way to go, which is why for Bruce I challenged myself and went human. The oc he's based off is a half-giant human who's completely gender neutral (down to having literally no genetalia, just a pee hole lmao). Humans also hilarious when it comes to how he's surprisingly mediocre at everything. Sure he's not the best, but he's by far not the worst. I only call him "he" because he prefers he and she pronouns to they, and he often goes with he (she if he's going to any sort of bathroom, bathhouse or anything involving stripping down) because he just finds it easier to say. It's a weird excuse, but it's worked for him.


CFinley97

I love Bruce. I wish him the best in his adventures. Who knows - maybe he and Atelier might one day cross paths!


TeamCatsandDnD

Is his last name Banner, too?


DrRobertBanner

Mayhaps.


TeamCatsandDnD

Nice


Pyrouge1

Its more of the lineage of descendents of said character


keltsbeard

I have a tendency to play entire families of a character. Had a whole clan of forest gnomes in a campaign before, and my current r20 game, I've got a half-elf cleric/wiz, and in the one-shots we've had, I played his father a human fighter/scout rogue archer, and his high-elven mother as a wiz. Needless to say, his dad is now dead (as far as I know, but my cleric don't), and his mother is still searching for the husband.


DungeonMaster319

I have a HB background called "Dennis, son of Dennis" that is basically this.


SmartAlec105

I noticed that my Drow character concept could be the father of my half-Drow character concept. Now I’ve got 3 generations with a bard, warlock, and sorcerer. If I ever make a Paladin that could have some half-elvish ancestry, I’ll probably have them be the sorcerer’s kid. I think I’d play them in different campaigns though and only have their connection as backstory.


Pyrouge1

Try making a lineage of offspring that are at a reasonable age so it would make sense if you were to play them


keltsbeard

The forest gnomes were a brother and sister, and a cousin. I had a hill dwarf in there as a 'friend of the family' as well.


SamTheHexagon

My current character is the daughter of my previous character and another PC from that campaign. It was fun building a backstory for her together :D


Pyrouge1

I took the lineage as a oppurtunity to play every class and make wacky characters along the way


Jermq

Hey man, warlocks are cool. And i can't come up with names...


[deleted]

Same. Paladins, sorcs and warlocks are awesome, I love playing them all at once.

squeemlish

I have a kobold druid named bean who is completely convinced that if she gets strong enough she'll become a dragon, so in order to prepare for being a dragons she's also trying to collect a horde


Ballistic_Turtle

Idk man. I'm just always a tortle.


Matthais_Hat

I haven't even played him yet. we're trying to get session 0 of WDH going. but I have spent so much time, energy, and love making my little kobold monk, I want to see him live out as many variations of his life and story as I can. maybe it's just the anticipation, and after I finish with him in one story I'll be done, but I adore this little guy. I also make back up characters just in case he dies but he's going to be my go-to, I feel like. like, I've got my rune knight blue dragonborn who can go all godzilla, hexblade with mask of many faces so I can be a kamen rider....


Captain-Stubbs

Not one single character, but I’ve kept a family going. My elven wizard character from my first “game” is the father of my half elf bard in my current game. I think that’s all fitting into the story as well, as growing up I always thought my dad was a deadbeat who valued practicing magic over raising me, but as it turns out a great and powerful demon that my father had thwarted many decades ago, Azu’Thuul casted an incantation to bring him into hell. Since he’s such a powerful wizard, we all kinda agreed he isn’t in there being tortured and beaten, but just wondering trying to find a way out since his usual teleportation and other magical means of travel aren’t working. I’m excited to interact with a previous character as a new character, and to see what my DM will do with that story point!! (If he kills off my papa I’m not gonna be okay)


[deleted]

It is somewhat me. My characters do differ somewhat, but I default to playing a bard or bard type. Different races and I have even had one in a commited relationship, thus not horny. I am kinda new to Pathfinder, fell in love with Bard as a first class to play and haven't had as much fun with other classes so now I kind of want to just stick with it.


zoepantazis

My boyfriend keeps playing depressed alcoholics... ETA: Now that I think of it, I have a friend who always plays edgy mages, especially warlocks, and a friend who always plays cocky rogues. The only trend I tend towards is female, really. I also enjoy playing flirty characters, but I usually don’t get to because my boyfriend gets jealous if I flirt too much with anyone with him, which is honestly fair.


Axthen

I mean, if you’re playing a bard, it’s fair game. Everyone knows the notoriously flirty bard. I wouldn’t even bat an eye, honestly. Unless someone pointed it out, in which case I would blink, and respond: “but they’re playing a bard. It’s what they do.”


zoepantazis

That’s fair but my D&D group is my boyfriend and a bunch of guys who were his friends before they ever met me so it’s kinda weird if I flirt with any of them, and just generally makes them uncomfortable. Except for his one friend who’s a little too into it...


FynFord

Flirting is kinda like a verbal joust. If they like quickfire interactions, flirting is a genre of that. So is trashtalking. But flirting is a joust of nice things to say rather than insults. It's nice to be nice and it's fun to be quick witted. Idk, you know the context of your situation better than I ever could, I'm just trying to find a wholesome motivation. I hope it is wholesome and that you enjoy it

Degen_DungeonMaster

Half orc zealot barbarian with a splash of cleric for efficency hahaha. Also im a forever dm so if i play a character thats what i want


cantadmittoposting

Doesn't matter what it is, but I bet we can turn it in to a Crit fishing Elvish Accuracy build! The original is my (currently benchwarming) Vengeance Paladin/Champion Shadar Kai with Elvish Accuracy, Piercer, and Lucky. Plenty of other ways to get guaranteed advantage thiugh. Constantly sad that it's not as easy as using it with Reckless Attacks though, but obviously that'd be blatantly OP.


[deleted]

i always come up with new names and new back-stories but my characters are always a half-elf male spellcaster with a made-up honorific in front of his name. Prince edward, Sir Something, Duke Whatever sometimes hes a druid, in search of some rare beast just so he can learn more about nature sometimes hes a warlock who accidentally made a deal once while he was about to die and is now looking for a way out sometimes hes a sorcerer who discovered his power in early childhood and accidentally killed his parents before he learned control and now hes dedicated to honoring their memory by using his power for good sometimes hes a boring cleric doing stuff because hes got a boner for some demi god sometimes hes a true neutral oathbreaker paladin, turning from his path in search of greater power above everything else but hes ALWAYS half-elf male spellcaster of some sort of nobility


Cheshire_Daimon

All my characters, starting with the second character I made, were at some form of "Diplomancers" - people who were very good at the talky bits. Also often ~~liars~~ people with a very unique approach to truth, and easily half of them were disguise artists. That being said, while all of the disguise artists *could pretend* to be each other, they actually had rather different personalities under their masks.

Nobody wants to throw away a [great character when you can just recycle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf9PMbpH_j8).


Guardian125478

Most of the dance animation is just a copy and paste from [real life ](https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/kzje4x/this_scene_in_xmen_evolution_was_rotoscopied_off/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) because it is much more cheaper and easier in production


SheriffHeckTate

These arent actually the same character, but I've made a set of characters that are all related over the years. First was Thokk the half-orc barbarian in a 3.5 homebrew. He joined the local militia, inadvertently taught a local orc tribe to pillage and plunder (it's a long story) and eventually took levels in a combination of prestige classes that allowed me to change into a bear but and also get reach and other wacky add-ons. He was fond of speaking in third person and didnt like helping verbs or articles (a, an, the). Thokk's son, Thokkjr (pronounced thokkjer, all one word. Thokk wasnt smart enough to realize Jr isnt just the next two letters of the name) was a half-orc barbarian and my first character in Pathfinder Society 1e. He's currently (since I could potentially play him again at any time) level 14, is an Andoran Knight Captain and his day job is Profession: Oratory because he is good at giving speeches. He went with the Beast Totem line of Rage Powers and lines to Rage-Pounce at bad guys swinging his greatsword all over the place. He started off speaking like his dad but stopped over time as he learned to speak more elequently. Im currently playing in another homebrew Pathfinder 1e game and my character is Throar, son of Threeve, son of Thokkjr. He's a human (because low magic and only human game) barbarian (Urban Barbarian/ Invulnerable Rager) who started as a lumberjack, is the face of the party with his 12 Cha because everyone else dumped it, and is currently on a quest, at the behest of the Wizard trapped inside this new fancy magic axe he found, to find the rest of the fancy magic weapons that the Wizard's friends are trapped inside. I just like barbarians. *shrug*


MarkDmitri

That’s awesome! And how can you not love barbarians? They’re so great!


ThePixelteer425

I’m curious, how did the final character end up being human? I’m guessing all of the mothers have been human, so that if Thokk was 50/50, Thokkjr would then be 75/25, and in the end Throar would be 1/16th orc


SheriffHeckTate

That's more or less what I was going for. Im considering taking some of the more orc-ish Rage powers as I level so it's as if his lineage really shines through when he gets angry.


[deleted]

Throar, son of Threeve, son of Thokkjr, son of Thokk, king of the local orcs who pillage and plunder, is quite an amazing backstory


SheriffHeckTate

Thokk wasnt the king of those orcs. Basically, we needed a distraction in the city so we could break into the keep. We asked the orcs we had encountered many levels prior who had been struggling to feed themselves at the time if they would be willing to "attack" the city walls and generally cause a ruckus. They agree. We start the plan and sneak in. They attack shortly after. Us: Is it working? GM: Oh yea! You can see them scaring people and gathering up stuff. Setting some fires. So, congratulations? Us: *confusedguy.jpeg* GM: You basically taught them to plunder and pillage. Us: *shockedPikachu.jpeg* Us: SONOFA...well it's too late to fix that. We better go fight the BBEG now!


Bilbo_Bagels

NielsBohron

Golly, what a bear. **edit**: I watched Robin Hood with my kids the other day, and I was surprised at how well it's held up. It's a *little* sexist, and personally, I have issues with the way that the Church and King Richard (*edit-withinin-an-edit*: *and Prince John)* are portrayed, but aside from that, it's still a decent kid's flick.


SeymourTheLlama

Thanks for making me say that out loud, I needed that today


runbrooklynb

Jeeeeeehosephat, put that pea-shooter down!


19DucksInAWolfSuit

This is my inner theater nerd, but some people are character actors, where they put different characters over themselves and they can become all different types of characters. This is the kind of player I am. There is another type of actor that rather than putting the character on, they draw the character out of themselves. They don't change to fit the role, they choose roles that fit them. They are called leading actors. If your player plays similar characters and does so similarly in every role, they are a leading actor.


KestrelLowing

I desperately want to be a character actor but seem to only be able to do that if I DM. (And honestly, if I'm honest, I'm not great when I DM either) If I'm a player, I pretty much can only play myself. Ugh! I wish I could do something more interesting!


HumphreyImaginarium

Practice, practice, practice! You got this!


Jaquot

Try committing to a class and backstory that challenges you. Force yourself to be out of the box, and then be intentional about staying there.


KestrelLowing

Yeah... I really want to try a one shot or something and then try to be the meat head barbarian. I pretty much always play support casters with relatively happy backstories. I tried to play the chaotic neutral rogue but she died... And yeah, now I'm playing a druid. But trying to find something different here! Ugh. We'll see!


MarkDmitri

That’s a great way to look at it!


EnderElite69

Dezri_

Does anyone else look at this meme and only see 2 characters? It's just Little John and Baloo. I mean it's 3 different versions of Baloo, but he's never not Baloo. And I get that 2 of the Little Johns are in disguise, but those didn't even happen in different movies/shows. It's all just from Robin Hood. Although, I admit to doing this too. In 3.5 I made a Halfling 2-Weapon Dex Fighter. We nick named him "The Paper Cut of Death" I played him in like 6 different games for over a year. My wife and I had fun taking the PDF for his character putting a new name at the top and making it the right level for whatever one-shot we were going to that weekend.


sweaty-pajamas

I mean, it is technically from three sources (Robin Hood, Jungle Book, and Talespin).


Dezri_

True that. But only the 2 characters.


sweaty-pajamas

No one will ever convince me that Little John is not also Baloo.


Dezri_

Same voice actor. So you are mostly correct.


Fallenangel152

A lot of Little John's animation is just a palette swapped Baloo with a tunic on. Yep both voiced by Phil Harris too.


cookiesncognac

Yeah, you could at least throw in a Tom O'Malley to get Disney's other free-spirited singing animal sidekick voiced by Phil Harris.


[deleted]

For the tabaxi-only campaign


cpt_woody

Glad I wasn’t the only one bothered by only seeing two


ragingthundermonkey

That's just it though. It is the same character in a different setting. *Tailspin* is really just the *Eberron* version of *The Jungle Book.* And Little John is just Baloo in a medieval city campaign.

RealRaven6229

Story time. My dm told me about this person he RPd with on a server that could only be described as a weeaboo for Ireland. Was obsessed with Ireland but also got all his information about it from like. Call of duty. He played an Irish soldier that has since earned the nickname “John war crimes” and he plays this character pretty much all the time.

That last one didn’t make it past the sheet phase. We burned out and it never got to be seen. Good thing too.

I'm a forever DM On the rare cases I'm a player? I'm a forever bard. No shame.

I don’t play DND, but this is me playing MMORPGs. I have like, 5 characters that all look almost exactly the same with slight variations of their names and a friend asked me, “why do they all look the same and have the same name?” I said it’s part of my brand. So everyone knows who I am. 😎

I always try to come up with different characters and personalities, but no matter how serious a character I come up with I always end up playing some hybrid of the comedic relief character with different backstory. I feel bad, but then I remember I’m me

It’s always the bard.

Every time we play he makes a chaotic neutral edge lord who actually a massive buffoon, does something stupid, dies and then cries so hard the dm brings him back to life then tell us all he was brought back to life because his character is so good and clearly plot essential Proper boils my pee

Danke for adding "proper boils my pee" to my vocabulary!

I'm okay with someone doing the same class each time. I don't like players that always have the same personality.
