Fug, didn't see that before posting

>She doesn't want to bring about the apocalypse, but its her job

Cause this got missed
>She's really annoying
>Has money and looks already but wants adventure and danger
>Doesn't want the actual risk, so hires people to make "accidents" happen that she fixes to public acclaim

>She doesn't want to bring about the apocalypse, but its her job
This doesn't seem like a player-character to me.

>He's naive and new to adventuring
>That's why he dresses so edgy and uses those impractical swords

Love these, would play.

Love what? The pics, or the descriptions of that guy with the huge swords?

>Was a murderous sonofabitch even before the war

>After hundreds of years, human suffering has lost all of it's appeal and just stopped being interesting, now he's sick of it
>Trying out being helpful for a change
>Always talks like he's exhausted.

The descriptions, playing an EPIC edgy character that's just a dumbfuck adventuring rookie trying to get some attention seems like a fun thing to do.

>he gets removed by legal problems with the fuckers behind Naruto

I'm still assmad

>High tech robot chassis for an advanced AI
>The AI is programmed with the personality, interests, and mannerisms of an American redneck trailer trash bum.

>sent away to deliver a message
>by the time he got back, everyone had already ascended to the next world
>fuck.

I like that both those descriptions are not mutually exclusive; using it

Yeah, I feel like that could be an interesting twist. Some edgelord turns out to just be some poser nerd with self-esteem and identity issues, and he learns along the way how to be effective and finds himself. He grows up, finds his courage, and realizes how silly he looked first starting out.

>They killed his wife
>They burned down his house

He really likes his sword because it looks cool, but he wants new gauntlets because they ruin the theme he's got going.
He's pretty smart for an orc, just like the person that drew him.

He is called the Thunder Warrior.

Obviously because of that magical blade of his which its blade is made of magically projected energy.

But despite the Thunder Warrior's fierce demeanor, attitutde and destructive weapon he likes writing poetry and stories in his spare time or when he feels like to.

I've just noticed all the high-tech stuff on the left side... My entire life was a lie.

I didn't post a picture
