Interestingly, the fact that my current character is Broad-Minded is largely an outcome of the concept discussion on this very forum. He could be Chauvinistic, but IMO it would've made him a hypocrite. Quote:

Re: Which sorts of characters are you willing / unwilling to play and why?
Yes, it certainly is effective horror. I'm still amazed that more people seem to squick at "Sentient Snacks" which being just edible bioshells with NAIs pretending to be eaten aren't nearly as bad, IMO.

Re: Which sorts of characters are you willing / unwilling to play and why?
I like to play SAIs, though the huge point cost of the templates tends to mean that you end up either stuck in a very naff body or doing everything remotely. I went for the former in the TS campaign I've played in, and ended up playing up the template advantages because that was where most of my points had gone.
The characterisation I chose was based loosely on my poor understanding of Buddhist thought: Vajra is not sure what form transcendent thought may take, but is trying to abandon physical possessions and feels that not having a flashy body is a good start.

I should hope not; I was comparing it to murder.

Re: Which sorts of characters are you willing / unwilling to play and why?
Being eaten is an incredibly powerful horrifying fear to most people. It's really the only reason I can see why even serial killers will gleefully admit to the most heinous of murders but will often refuse to admit to eating their victims.
