First RPG ever played? Vampire: the Masquerade. I played a Tremere straight form the clanbook. Matt Hickey ran it. It spawned the line "Hey, you want a drag off my hampster?"
First character? See above. The little girl template from the original clanbook... I named her Rebecca, and made her mute. She worked or was apprenticed or somethign to Joel's character, William something or other that I should remember. He was Order of the Quaesitori. This was only a one shot... so why do I remember?
Most munchkinny character? I dunno. I've convinced some people to let me get away with some pretty crazy things. Maybe Hadyn? Maybe Alex... Maybe Benjamin from Hugh's game where he had access to assloads of Pyretics... In terms of powers anyway.
Most balanced character? I really have no idea... I'm not sure how to judge exctly, and I tend to make balanced (or at least well-rounded) characters in general...
Most insane character? Like, the character themself was insane? I think Apo is the most seriously, certifiably crazy, although I often play people who are pretty neurotic (Hadyn, Alex, Benjamin... Hmmm, coincidence?)
Character most ripped off of a tv show/movie/book? Lathendar. There can be only one! Powers from Highlander, concept from Black Jack Davey, the Span song...
Favorite character? Ahhh! Impossible to pick just one! Ones from my current games tend to stand out more, and I have so many I can't remember them all at once.... ATM I'm really partial to Kalman and Apo, and from older games Nathan (FromTHU Under a Red Star). Also, Hadyn and Lathendar...
Shortest lived character? That would be a toss up between Nazira, my white-mage/mediator who died in the first session of the first ever Terry tactics (the cursed woods are truly my bane) or Teresias, my blind Malkavian prophet of Gehenna/Leonard Cohen
Method of death for above? Nazira was killed by Zombies, I believe, and then had to be killed herself that night by the other PC's. It was traumatic for them, I'm told ^-^. Teresias was killed by a werewolf too wussy to kill any of the dangerous vampires, and when I tried to run away, I picked a random direction (I was blindfold - It was LARP) and I ran into a fence. Now, ask me how long I spent getting stuff ready to play him... ^-^
Most stupid way to die? I had a Celestial Chorus who died trying to get rid of a bomb by, I believe, throwing it down the stairs. At least he protected everyone else, right?
Best moment? I can't think of one.... all the victories that coem to mind have been somewhat Phyric ones.! Maybe Kalman's wedding, that was pretty awesome :)
Worst moment? Oh, how to *choose*! Nathan's field of skulls is a classic, but getting molested by a hallucination of your self is kinda whacked too, really
Most useful item? Jason Babineau ran a DC Heroes game where I had a character who had a big metal headdress/helmet thing that gave her sorcery. So, that.
Most useless item? The Prism, Jamals's ship. Not that it was actually useles... it was a powerful treasure. It just never got used once during the whole game.
Most evil cursed item? I've only had a cursed item once, and that was as Yao, when she was carrying Dark Jaran's gun, and then she really just didn't want to give it up. I may be forgetting something here, but if I am, it moistly likely came from another Terry game
Lucky Dice? Vary by character...
Most evil GM (and why)? Terry. He isn't afraid to kill, but he's also got a fine Mastery of Fates Worse than Death. We got him a cake one time that said Terry Hates Us. Because he does. And we love it ^-^
Most annoying sidekick? Never had a side kick, really. Maybe you could count Beth... ^-^
Most annoying familiar/animal companion? Counting Chiroku, Chiroku. Damn, she was *annoying*!
Character most likely to: (waiting to hear from meme's author on this question, will come back and answer later :)
Best line? I mostly only have quotes written down from other people's characters from games I've run.... Anyone?
:: o n l i n e g a m e ::
First LJ/GJ RPG ever played? The first online 'rpg' I played in was the FFRPG, though it was more properly an RPS, we just didn't know it at the time ;)
First character? Kain Highwind, from FFIV
Longest played character? Possibly Kain, who I played for about 5 years.... But NuRPG was equally long lived, so Jan might beat him.
Silliest LJ/GJ game? I steal Julie's answer: "C-verse probably had the most silly moments, or EiS. Changeling lends itself to silliness, I guess." I add: 'A cucumber and a sick of butter' ^-^ However, the Tank Police game Buck ran had some incredibly silly moments too. Bloody doughnut plan.. what the HELL people!
Best LJ/GJ game? I'm really partial to Diablotin atm, though Perseity rocks pretty hard too
How many games as mod? FFRPGM, C-verse... those are the only two I can think of atm, but feel free to correct me if I'm forgetting anything.
How many games as player? C-verse, EiS, Perseity, Terry Hates Us, Exia (3 incarnations), Rum's Game, Tank Police, Chains of Steel, FFRPG, NuRPG, I remember another Vampire PbEM I was in or a while where I played a Nos... Hazel's changeling ran online for a while...There was that space opera Bart ran... and probably others I can't remember.
How many games in general? See above.... That's a good 13, at least. Currently, I am involved with 3-4, depending on wthere or not Terry keeps running THUIII
Most embarrassing typo? Poopbaby! (poor baby)
Best line? I draw a blank. Anyone else?

Best game you ran? Idunno, I'd have to ask my players.... I like how the frst Changelng game I ran ended though. It was fun :)
Worst game you ran? Maybe the first attempt.... Mage is probably not the best choice for a novice GM, hmm? Mostly, though, it just kind of died, unlike all my other campaigns which at least had some kind of closure...
Character that annoyed you the most? Maybe Ian's deathling.... or else Ceiridwen's *very* short lived beastie. Voted off the Kitten!
Player that annoyed you the most? Shan! ^-^ No offence, of course. Sometimes though, you should be made to go on ritalin before you are allowed to do any gaming :D
Character you liked the best? I really liked Eden..And Andrew. And Ivy...And Jennie-Jennie Razorblades! "I do birthdays!"
Player you liked the best? Probaby Hazel or Terry.
Most cruelly inflicted death? Hmm. I think I was cruelest to Ian(The English one) at the end of my Vamp game in Sheffield, because his was the least satisfying ending. So if 'Cruel' = 'weak' then, Patrick's. Otherwise, hmmm... That was probably the only game where I killed PC"s except for Ceiridwen's Beastie.
Most evil plot? I'm a big fan of Project Avalon for cruelness.
Best evil GM moment? I don't really know... I think it was fun when I tricked the characters in my Evil changeling game into doing good.... but they did get their revenge with a wheat harvester, as I recall. There was some good cruelty at the end of the Sheffield game. Like how Andrew still never got reunited with his true love, who probably wound up with his evil Settite loving rival. And how Ian's Deathling wound up in the control/employ of just those she had been created to thwart...
Gamesystem you like the best? For Rules: D&D 3rd ed, Generica. For Setting/Concept: Mage and Changeling
Lucky Dice? No special ones...
Best line? I apparently have no head for lines...
Best villain? I don't know. I kind of liked Delilah, she was crazy-evil. She wasn't *that* great though...
Best villain (of course) line? See above re 'no head for lines' :/
...that's all I've got. How come there is no question about favourite NPC's, as a player or GM?

Ahem...
Re: Ahem...
That's a tough call, as a player... Soo many to choose from! Would it be cheating if I said Nathan from when Terry used him in THUIII? ;D It changes too much. Sometimes Tristane, sometimes Quaquin, sometimes Loick, sometimes Koi... You and Steve definitely have the best NPC's of games I'm in right now though.Gm is easier: Webmaster.
also: pssst, Exia!
