Half-Measure is a (losing) racing horse who can see into the next dimension, which is intertwined with our own. After he helps an Angel out of a bind, he is granted the power to speak telepathically to an open mind. As worlds collide, he must coax his favorite jockey, Mike, into a dangerous adventure -- while avoiding the wroth of his stablemasters. The STAKES have never been so high!

....get it? Cuz that's a.... a horse-racing idiom and.... and he's..... a horse....

A hyper-intelligent and self-mutating genetically altered cellular organism, uncertain of its origins or purpose, able to shape-shift and adapt to anything. Can create nefarious, Rube Goldberg-like biological mechanisms, such as methane-powered rocket engine/digestive systems. Generally assumes the shape and abilities of a human, specifically Sean Connery or Walt Whitman.

On a quest to uncover its demise. Doesn't care about origins.

An overweight, clumbsy elf with a cleft lip and a speech impediment has to embark on a quest to overcome his awkward nature to save his culture of Mary Sues from an over Zealous and apathic group of lumberjack dwarves who want to clear cut the forest to open up a chariot dealership on behalf of a capitalist group of goblins who wear snappy suits and drink the best whiskey in all the realm.Also, humans are around but they're too busy being dicks to each other to be important in any capacity, let alone being the best cultural saviors of the world like they usually are. Their redeeming factor is they grow magnificent facial hair, which is countered by the fact nothing is politically accomplished because they keep filibustering anyone trying to accomplish anything. As such, their society is generations behind other sentient beings.

I would RP in this

A mix between an orc a human a bird and a little bit of monkey with high intelligence on the thinking side but low intelligence everywhere else (he has self monologues that are incredibly intelligent in his mind but the second he opens his mouth to speak he says something like "Puppies taste like bird droppings"). He goes out to save the world from a demonic cult with the help of an egotistical morally confused mage and a Barbarian that has a Masters degree at Harvard in psychology.

Who wouldn't?

Fascists, that's who.

How 'bout a bifauxnen or trap character whose character story focus is not entirely gender identity or romance oriented, or keeping their secret a secret oriented...?
._. <(just sayin'...)
They tend to go hand in hand, it'd be surprising if this weren't the case, but genderbendering should only have to be a small part of the character...not the entirety, and the entirety of their character goals.

How about...
-how 'bout a magical turtle whose in love with a princess after peeking on her skinny dipping?
-a sex addict and, yet, somehow, a responsible father?
-a newly turned vampire who is entirely in denial of having become a vampire, no matter what others try to do to convince them (short lived, though, they die in the sun)?
-a vampire that doesn't hunger/crave/taste blood, due to a condition carried over from when they were human?
-a vampire with actual self-control, stemming from their life as a human...either from religiously fasting often, or starving often due to poverty...and knowing what it's like to hunger, and how to deal?
-how about an emotionally damaged individual who is hard to read and understand, whose motives are literally all over the place for no frickin' reason (like Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan, or just either on a regular day)?
-how about an immortal who is entirely dead during the day, but comes to life again at nightfall, only to spend the rest of the night slowly dying till the break of day?
-how about a genie who can grant unlimited, and totally accurate 'what you want' wishes, but charges an equivalent sum of money for their service?
-how about a pin with consciousness, secretly in love with a human, but just keeps hurting them when they roll over a little too close...(cliché)?

JOHN MADDEN

No not really.

A dimension-jumping, time-traveling dwarf hell bent on finding the bustiest wenches and the finest ale in all of the multiverse while dukeing it out with his arch rival who is also his half-brother, Lord Vildleschmirtz XIV, esquire, who rides a cougar made out of chainsaws and sub sandwiches. On fire.

You're pretty good at it.

I declare this to be the best Nat thread ever.
