I ended up playing a homebrew tabletop campaign with some friends this past spring, based around Greek mythology. I somehow managed to snag Dionysus as my patron god/ancestor, despite the fact the DM was terrified to let anybody do that. Something about a history of obnoxious players, but he ended up being convinced I was okay.
I then spent the remainder of the game being an incorrigible--yet strangely charming--flirt named Acanthus who somehow always managed to talk his way out of everything, and who could control plants like a drunken Poison Ivy.
He was never as bad ass as I drew him, though. In all honesty, he probably spilled his drink on himself and got hurled by his own vines after striking the pose.

YES. I like Acanthus, for some reason. You should write about him. :D
Also, I'm pretty sure you win the award for FIRST THING I HAVE COMMENTED ON.
