A long time ago, in a very bad roleplay, I designed a character that was just a merchant. A short, fat merchant with enchanting magic, voiced by Danny Devito. And through a combination of Requip and good gear, he utterly wrecked every opponent he faced, every last Dante-inspired swordsman and every last Vergil knockoff. It was hilarious to watch people so sure of their invincibility get wrecked, even if I did eventually get banned for "Not being a real roleplayer", as they put it. Wrecking a Wolverine knockoff with superman powers by abusing time-stop underwear and radioactive underwear on a stick probably did it.
In any case, I enjoy playing smart characters with a lot of gear. But this Light Charmer OC... he's a lot like me, though with some flaws added so he's not too perfect.
