I've had bad enough experiences talking in 3rd person that I got discouraged from RP'ing my Druid that did it. I had decided that I would make a feral with no concept of personal self other than a name; pack oriented; always said names rather than "I", "you", etc. Whenever someone would try to correct me with "I", i'd reply: "Eye? Littlemouse has two eyes!" At any rate, 3rd person seems to annoy most people that I've met, so kudos to anyone who can pull it off:)

I love giving my characters quirks, and one that I don't feel gets enough attention is adding smells to your character. This has gotten me into quite a bit of role play. For example, my little gnome mage has a tag that says she smells of burning metal, oil and the minty smell of silverleaf when she talks. I actually carry around stacks of silverleaf in my pockets that she is constantly chewing and that I give out when someone wants some. Okay, I don't know if silverleaf is supposed to be minty, but I decided it would be the Azeroth equivalent of peppermint >.>

She's also got a tag that says, "Looks like she might explode if you can keep her still" to explain why she never walks and is always jumping around. I do a lot of "/e beams at %t." too. Great fun to play her:)
