[@Terminal] Someone who is merely a pawn for others is not necessarily fun to play.  Someone who wants to be a player but doesn't have the ability might be interesting.  Unfortunately, the vast majority of my characters are sensible, magic users, or both -- and they'd have to fit a modern setting to be recent arrivals.  I have one that might fit, but I can guarantee you she'd come to an unpleasant end very quickly, given that character death is encouraged instead of avoided.  And while I try to be okay with character death if there's a good reason and it makes sense, the truth is I'm very attached to my chars and really dislike removing them permanently from an rp in many situations.  ...Actually, that's something I should consider.  Outside of the ones where I know they take stupid risks, am I okay letting chars take acceptable risks for their goals and then going with the possibility of losing them.  I honestly don't know.  [@Prince of Seraphs] I'll have to think on this.  I spotted that note just a few minutes ago, and it didn't really sink in until now.
