the same big and little words [all spelling out desire]
RPG-wise; I have a habit of casting myself into the stereotype of the Antihero, the Morally Ambigious & Tomented Loner - the character who does evil deeds, and is forgiven by the audience because he (mostly he) is acting out of a ruined, painful background and is generally aware of his transgressions.
I play Blaise Zabini. I play Salazar Slytherin. I've had rpg flirtations with Alec, Regulus Black and Dean Winchester (to the best of my abillity, at least). I was told yesterday that I would be a convincing Commodus.
I'm curious. Who else would I be good at? Tell me who you could see me play, and play well. Any character goes, movie, book, whatever - though it's more fun if I know it, of course. I'll try to retailaite to the best of my abillity.
ETA: The full list of suggestions, so far. I am flattered and delighted and a bit flustered. The ones of these that I know are all characters I love and some of them I think are way beyond my abillities. Morgan and Michie, I owe you both proper lists in return. ♥ ♥ ♥

Oh, I suppose this calls for a list of actual characters I have played or do play. Some of these very briefly.
Harry Potter characters:
Blaise Zabini (4 official versions, countless AUs)
Regulus Black
Narcissa Malfoy
Su Li
Salazar Slytherin (this was a cast, and I’m delighted. Also addicted.)
Remus Lupin (for a couple of hours)
Draco (Cami’s, she lent him to me for fifteen mins, and it was terrifying, and I am never doing it again, but I learned more about him in that time than from playing off him for two years. Gosh.)
- - -
Alec (Dark Angel)
Dean Winchester (Supernatural)
Ismail & Tebriel Morningstar (AU Angel Sanctuary - actually OCs, but they merit mention because I love them so much and have played them extensively)
- - -
Raistlin Majere (Dragonlance) << Hush your face. I was 14. The bitter, morally ambigious hot young mage obviously spoiled my young and impressionable soul.
Countless, countless OCs.
ETA II: GOSH, STOP TALKING ABOUT HOBBIT FEET AND ELF EARS IN MY JOURNAL
