Character concepts
If I ever find a GM to run EP for me I'd like to run a lost character, even though I still think asynvs are a little too vulnerable, that had an unusual form of madness. Anyone who knows me knows I loved the rebooted "Battlestar galactica" series, except for the idiotic end which still hurts me to think of, and I liked Dr. Baltar on that show. So, I had an idea for an extremely intelligent but not to sane character based on him who's a Lost, and part of his insanity is that he believe he has this manifestation of the EV living inside him, that manifests itself to him as a strikingly beautiful woman only he can see, hear and interact with that basically is a sentient, intelligent manifestation of the EV that it trying to determine if humanity needs to be wiped out or not, and his actions affect her (it's) decision. This could be fun for a GM who like the nBSG series too, I imagine. It came to me as a GM that if a player created this and asked me to OK it, I might do him one better and secretly decide that it [i]wasn't[/i] a delusion... ;) Anyone have any opinions on this? Also, if you like the idea feel free to cop it and have fun. Also feel free to post your own ideas for character concepts, you might get good ideas in feedback, or inspire someone else looking for an idea.

I think the thing I like best about this is that it injects the possibility for some comic relief into what can otherwise be a pretty grim, serious setting. And of course, your GM is always free to make the hallucination realer than you as a player planned...

I kind of liked the way that head 6 in nBSG was so unpredictable. Almost kind and loving one minute, almost cold and sadistic the next, one ep she's telling baltar not to commit suicide, another ep she's helping him hang himself.
