Best Character Quirk I've seen in a long time

Unread post by Blackwater Sniper »

I wish I could say it was me, or that I had a hand in its inception, but I just ran into the most hilarious situation.

We had a new player join our band and his introduction was spot on playing a Crazy with a couple cyborg attachments. At random times, an internal playlist would blast out over imbedded speakers.

We were in the middle of combat when he jumped in, struck a heroic pose, and all the sudden “Here I come to save the day,” the theme from Mighty Mouse kicks in. We were trying to sneak into a building and the theme from “Mission: Impossible” started playing.

Some of the time he (the player) chooses the song for effect, other times, he rolls a die on a preselected list for the applicable genre.
So what if I don’t know what apocalypse means? It’s not the end of the world!

I could imagine the party hiding behind a bush waiting to ambush... when suddenly a cellphone ringtone kicks in.

May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

"Well, is somebody going to answer that?!"

(this could be coming from a DeadBoy officer, a Demon Lord, a Kittani, etc...)

"Trouble rather the Tiger in his Lair,
Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

I can only hope the player actually doing this with his phone at the table, and not just describing it.
Some gave all.
