Probably, give them a cow-boy hat and definitely.


And a base ball bat of course.

On a unrelated note, if I use the Acronym Rilla made for the Freehold. Their leader would be called Melon Head. Irony.

I wonder if a modern day american with a gun would also be considered a stereotype...


Americans are commonly stereotyped as gun loving, but I guess stereotypes don't allways translate into characters.

Perhaps things are racist or not depending on how reasonably accurate it is? Having a roman character running around everywhere in a toga would likely be considered racist but if they go into battle with a Gladius then that could be considered reasonable. But someone of a different race (doing this in real life) realistically and respectfully portraying a black person would still likely be considered racists.

Even Rilla won't take the risk of making a black character.

Are you certain you're using the word correctly? A racist is someone who discriminates based off someone's race. Reinforcing negative stereotypes can be an example of this, but that's not really what's happening in any of those examples.

I even did a sweep and ya, interestingly enough he does not have any. (unless he keeps them somewhere else then his roaster.)

I think it's like the Black doll effect.

Maybe he's just trying to throw a scent off his tail. If he didn't have a picture of himself as his profile picture no one could've guessed.

That said, I still have [spoiler]Asian[/spoiler] characters that I play.

Only non-gender and non-race specific characters are allowed, looking vaguely like every race and yet none. They also aren't allowed firearms because reasons.

Saanga is sort of dark skinned. Rez and another character I haven't used yet due to being op is. After my male character-a-day week is finally completed in earnest I could have a diversity character-a-day, which will include my Native American. I decided on her being from the primarily used alternate reality earth where people can use magic. So much will have changed that I can make up my own tribe for her without any hand waving necessary.

@bushidoxisamu2 to make things easier for you here’s a list of some characters based off their relative power.

Sigurd: Unpowered/Very- Low powered

Isaac the Ghoul: Low powered

Clockwork Man: Mid – Powered (Lower side)

Anna: Mid Powered

Higan: High-Mid Powered

Fury: High Powered

There ya go, feel free to fight any of those, or any other characters you see on my list.

Or if you'd prefer it in the old tier system (which most of my characters roughly follow.)

Sigurd: 2/3
Isaac: 3
Clockwork Man: 4
Anna: 5
Higan: 5/6
Fury: 6

Cool, got a character in mind? The Clockwork Man isn't -too- difficult to work out a fight with story-wise, as he tends to annoy people and isn't too morally burdened himself.

Between work and Allaria, maybe. If someone else wants to host it, they can. I don't mind.

I might enter my Kung Fu master. If not, I'll just use Daddy Liberty since he's slightly more established. Actually, let's vote. What do you guys think?
