First character: A brooding loner with a tragic backstory, full of obvious parallels to my own life.

Second character: Yes these mechanics I'm combining are wildly mismatched, but my backstory explains it all.

Third character: A centaur that I play as a cab driver. Work in references to Taxi Driver, Cash Cab, Fake Taxi, etc. 100% dedication to the bit at all costs.

Fourth character: Mysterious backstory and ominous foreshadowing throughout the campaign, all leading up to the moment in the final session when I unleash the pun that the entire character was built around.

Fourth character reminds me of a character my friend played. His name was Jim Spoons, and his backstory was that his wife was murdered and he was trying to find out who the murderer is and avenge her. He carries this out until the final session, when it is revealed that he in fact was the one who killed his wife, and that Jim Spoons is an anagram for... OJ Simpson

Did your next character take the folk hero background, because he beat up King Rodney and got acquitted?

That fourth one. Did you ever do a write-up? I'm fond of shaggy dog stories and other long walk anti jokes.

Second this. I'd love to read a wall of text with a single pun at the end. @Makeitstop@lemmy.world, please share this if you can.

Do they only listen to The Offspring?
