I've been bitten by the haiku bug and wrote haiku character summaries for some of my roleplaying characters. They're still a bit rough but I'm so excited about them that I just had to share.
-------------------------------------------------------
Manny, system-less game as well as HackMaster and Shadowrun
no more mindless thug
this lowly tavern keeper
an ogre of peace
-------------------------------------------------------
Arauhir, party face, kalashtar ardent, D&D4eher beauty serves her well
muddling the minds of men
hiding great sword skill
-------------------------------------------------------
Qasali berserker/cleric/monk, GURPS
his berseker rages
exiled him from his homeland
so he heals his foes
-------------------------------------------------------
"RAT", street rat in 2112 Texas, GURPS
poor homeless orphan
possesses a great secret
gets by on his luck
-------------------------------------------------------
Manny's is the one I'm proudest of. Manny also happens to be one of my favorite characters. I've had a great deal of fun writing his story. Rat's and Arauhir's need a lot of work but I'm stuck. What do you think, humble reader?
