Silas Pyke at The 100 Mush.

Even though I wasn't able to get in his head anymore around the time where the mush died off, I had a whole lot of fun with that character. It was my first time playing a character that could be summed up as a super angry chihuahua.

He was a bigot (towards Grounders, and even then I'm still unsure about that part of him to this day), he was confrontational, he'd support whoever he'd think would keep him safe, and he was a-okay with resorting to violence if he was on the winning side or had his back against the wall.

He was also intended to be a pretty weak, all talk kind of character. Yet I somehow managed to have way more cool combat moments on him than all my other characters combined. He (kind of) beheaded someone, he went from having 0 gun skills to one handing a pistol, and started out twisting together grass to make slings and ended with him working on a full on blacksmiths quarters. (He also made a leather jacket, so that could've been the beginning to him getting interested in fashion.)

But by far my fondest moments are when he would talk a bunch of shit and got put in his place. Those moments where he'd tuck his tail between his legs and run off are the ones I remember the most. Whether it was getting in a fight with other delinquents and already getting punched, getting chewed out and not being able to think of anything to say back, or even just getting his ego in check with a mean glance from someone.

I'm crossing my fingers I'll be able to get into the head space for that type of character again, because that was the most fun I've had with a character before. And it's also because of him that I have trouble being content with a lot of characters I make now. But I'll just keep trying till I get one down.

Coming out of lurking to say that I'd totally play some guy in a village just plotting to usurp everyone's goats.

In terms of things I'd like to see, its particular settings for particular genres:

In the isle of post apocalypse, I'm leaning towards Fallout, because Fallout 4 itself was absolutely unable to sate my roleplaying desires. Maybe even something Metro 2033 inspired.

Though similar, a setting that's less apocalypse but economic/societal collapse or war-torn survival I think would be interesting. Definitely something This War of Mine inspired, for current lack of better example, with people smacking each other for scraps of bread.

In the land of fantasy, its The Witcher without a needing a second to think about, and I doubt this craving of mine will fade. I blame everything Nilfgaard for this craving. I recall a brainstorming thread about this, but it doesn't seem to be too active as of late.

Though I haven't read or watched it, something inspired by The Man in the High Castle would be interesting, no doubt.
