Last night was HS6E. I'm playing Diamond, a brick. I was having a very hard time getting any sort of handle on her personality for roleplay. Last night was a bit better overall but still not great.
In a passing moment between myself and the GM, a comment was made regarding the significant other (DNPC) for Diamond. While the comment was low key and really meant to be silly, it started little gears in my head.
Diamond is gay, and involved very heavily with a lovely Japanese woman named Nani. The GM for this HS6E game is single and in his mid 30's, and straight but very devious. He jokingly asked if Nani was hot (yes) and wore the Schoolgirl uniforms during certain moments. I replied that information was private, and he came back with "If I'm playing her, I need to KNOW this stuff!".
I didn't reply right away, but that single comment got me thinking about what Nani is like. The more I thought about her, the more she filled out in my imagination, and correspondingly, so did Diamond.
I'm now more than halfway done with Diamond's "Origin/Background Story". As it's progressed, I've discovered that Diamond is a lot deeper than I thought, and I really like it.
Love it. I've had those kind of awkward conversations with players, too. :)
