So who is this Stam anyway?

Roleplaying Evil

I never thought I could do it all that well. Playing a purely bad, evil character and all that...well, I'm good at heart (or so I like to think) and try my best to help people, not hurt/cheat/rob them.

I mean, even my vampire on Digital Dreaming isn't really all that bad. He doesn't even kill most of the time...and the people he chooses for 'refreshment' are usually the kind of people who really are bad.

And yet...

And yet over the past couple of weeks, I've pulled off some rather straightlaced, out-of-character evilness. Not the 'I wear evil on my shoulder' variety, more the scheming, innocent-faced type.

"Sure, no problem helping you out. Please sign here." ::hands over contract::

"What's in it?" ::reads fine print::

"Oh, just the standard assistance contract. You know, waivers in the event you try and take anything I said in front of the DM as proof." ::rolls Bluff::

::rolls Sense Motive:: "What's this here?"

"Umm...what?"

"This part about you getting ownership of my soul?"

"Oh. That. Yeah, like I said. Standard contract. My ST owns mine, I'll own yours...which'll end up hers, of course..."

It's incredible how much fun all that was.

And then there's the more recent stuff. One of the other players and I have cooked up a nice bit of evilness between the two of us that's got at least two other players misled, among others. And we don't hesitate to reinforce these misleadings at any chance given. Journals, OOC comments, IC comments...and falling over laughing in our sleeves when we do.

I've never had so much fun in ages.

Maybe I need to reconsider and try playing an evil PC?
