If you can't describe your character without mentioning their race/class, you're not playing a character.

And that's okay, but it's good to be aware of

>physical traits don't define a character!
Other characters that aren't characters:
>blind swordsman
>one-armed boxer
>any form of cyborg

You're a stinky shitposter OP.
>>
>>96767412
But if it takes you longer than a sentence to explain your character, you get called a story games faggot.

The daughter of a cult leader who tried to sacrifice her to claim a devil's power. Ended up botching the ritual, trappping the devil in her. Now she and the devil are trying to seperate from each other.

I liked liuskin's heretical milf becca.

Those things matter if they help provide context to the rest of it though. Not in a "you couldn't explain it" way, but in a "this helps the person I'm talking to grasp it more easily/thoroughly."

>you get called a story games faggot.
By whom.
>>
>>96767412
I don't normally play class+race systems, but even if I did I'd still go through the same three step process before I even engage with the rules.
>Half paragraph backstory that leads into the character becoming a PC.
The youngest child of a interstellar trucking family who, instead of begging one of his big sisters for a spot on one of their convoys, decided to go join a mercenary army his family's been working with for generations.
>Appearance
Due to generations of living in low-levels of artificial gravity, his entire family is very tall and gangly with creepy elongated digits. He is otherwise androgynally handsome, with long dark hair and very pale skin. His fashion sense leads him to usually wear an evac suit, a heavy cyberpunk jacket with ballistic lining, and cool sunglasses.
>Personality keywords
Dangerously curious
Chemically assisted good mood
You are his best friend and he will die for you

Nobody in the real world. The seething hatred of so-called story-shitting exists only in online circles infested with osrtards.
>captcha
Yes captcha, most osrtards who aren't male hambeasts are sissy little homo manlets.

>ambitious upper class knowledge seeker
>outwardly nice and polite, ruthless and calculating on the inside
>craves both personal and societal power

>>96767412
By "class", do you mean: (1) the package of game mechanical abilities that you take at level-up and character creation, or (2) any vocation that exists?
The former should be easy to avoid for anyone who isn't retarded. The latter would be downright retarded, but I can't be sure that you aren't retarded, OP.
>>
>>96768168
In the context of tabletop RPGs, there is only one definition of the term class anyone who isn't a retard pretending to be smarter than he really is uses. I'll give you some time to figure it out, you fucking mongoloid.

>NOT A CHARACTER
>give too much
>THEATER KID FAGGOT
this board sucks. you all suck.
>>
>>96767533
Yes.

>>96767641
Yes.

It's not difficult.

>>96768034
See?
>>
>>96768056
I mean storyshitters definitely exist, but having half a page of backstop for your character doesn't make you a storyshitter.
>>
>>96768438
Give me more than one sentence or yes, it's not an actual character.
Don't give me a 9 page backstory or yes, you're a theater kid faggot.
There exists an in-between and two things can be true at once you absolute melt.
