I always like reading about people's LARP and roleplay characters. I may not play myself, due to a dislike of the suspension of disbelief required to 'get it', but I like hearing the stories.
For myself in the meme, as I only have one roleplay character, I thought I'd do it here:
John Smith: 1) a proper character flaw: A genuine belief that he is significantly superior to most people and a complementary disdain for those who do not meet his standards. So far, his body *has* been cashing the cheques that his ego's been writing, but at some point in the future he's going to get a nasty shock. 2) an example of behaving badly in background/with NPCs: Probably the calm and level threat to sell an innocent man's thirteen year old daughter to nasty men in the Barrens if he didn't comply. Yeah, I think that's been his nadir so far. Certainly got a reaction from the rest of the room. 3) an example of behaving badly with PCs: Receiving a freely-given datacube containing the pleas and last messages of people trapped in a certainly fatal nightmare and then trying to sell them to the highest bidder. 4) a true, but uncharitable description: Amoral, self-serving scum. An awful, awful human being. 5) and a redeeming feature: The fact that he's clever, capable and currently on your side.
