    ●Wizard (Female) - The studious librarian type. Older than all other characters (except possibly the Barb), and dislikes 'interruptions.' Dispatches enemies with a casual flick of the wrist, and a "May I go back to doing something IMPORTANT now?"

    I like all of them, but this one really made me smile. :D

    Class: [Undecided] Most definitely trying the Bard and Marksman classes. Also interested in the Assassin, Mage, Priest, and Protector.

    Looking to join a guild once the game is officially released - one that is friendly, mature, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Recruit me?

    TBH, I find it kinda funny (and quite cool) that for the most part, they seem to match up well to players. I put the edit up simply as a reminder that it's not meant to be taken as a personal slight if I happen to be wrong about any one person in particular, as it wasn't the intent of the thread in the first place.

    Also: Credit to untamed, eh? b:shy Now I feel all warm & fuzzy.

    Right now I main as an assassin but I'd say I'm more of a Venomancer type. My old PW-MY main was a Veno, I haven't much changed since then.

    That was a refreshing read.

    Although if I were to describe just myself, I wouldn't say I was the leading type. I feel more like the second man. Maybe third to the Leader [so fourth]... Loyal bodyguard type.

    Like...... Dian Wei from Dynasty Warriors.

    The "natural" leader.
    -Only if the situation calls for it.

    Cool and collected, slow to anger, and typically jovial.
    -For the first two, yes. But not always jovial.

    Swift to act when friends' lives are in danger, and prepared to lay down his life if the situation calls for it.
    -Honestly, I try my best not to let anyone die, but sometimes I try to save my own hide [no pun intended] if I predict something horribly wrong will happen. But not at the cost of someone elses life.

    I love this topic, and the opening post. I'm not sure how much I agree with the TB's descriptions, but then again, I haven't worked with many TB yet, and don't often play my female psy.

    I totally fit my stereotype - Veno with a quadruped. My starter wolf is definitely my best friend, and I wouldn't trade him for anything. I'm quite proud of him and myself, as we accomplish a lot of thing most of my faction members don't expect, and they all respect my wolf and I. I often hear comments like, "that damn Wolfani is a beast", referring to him and the damage he deals.

    And I love how when I read all the stereotypes, I know a friend who fits perfectly. XD Makes me laugh.

    It'd be nice if people didn't take things quite so personally, though. XD It's all fun and games.

    ●Veno (+Quadruped Mammal) - A quiet, friendly girl who adores her animal companion. The two are inseparable, and unstoppable as a team. (Storyline cliche would usually result in pet sacrificing itself, much sorrow and anguish)

    ●Veno (+Insect) - A dark, elegant, and mysterious woman who takes disturbing pleasure in putting the "Venom" in Venomancer. Has at least one 'favorite' creepy-crawly she refers to as "my pet/love/precious" and makes every effort to seduce one of the other party members for her own ambitions (may be either selfish, or downright evil, or both)

    lol. i dont really think that it would/should go by what pet a veno chooses to use. maybe which body model. like the bat ears one = emo type/"seductive" (nice word for another 4 letter one that starts with S), the big fluffy tail one and the antelope horns = cutesy types. bunny ears = attitude problem. coyote = idk. i am one so i cant really prescribe a description.

    ●Barb - The "natural" leader. Cool and collected, slow to anger, and typically jovial. Swift to act when friends' lives are in danger, and prepared to lay down his life if the situation calls for it.

    This fits me, although the leadership role seem to be thrust upon some barbs who are not able to handle the pressure of being the wall between victory and a complete party wipe

    also for some barbs being called fail when party members do something completely ignorant, and expect the barb to come charging to the rescue isn't gonna help matters. lvl 30-60 barbs have a hard enough time, so be nice to the kitties

    ●Veno (+Hercules) - An Intelligent warm hearted person that is sadly surrounded by lesser beings. The Herc Veno knows she's better than everyone while relying solely on the hulking slab of meat at her side. Prefers to go it alone and rarely asks for help, but is often helpful.

    ●Veno (+Phoenix) - A psychopathic killer hell bent on destroying anything and everything in her path. She will destroy anyone that gets in her way or challenges her for what she wants. She kills kittens for fun.

    ●Veno (+Herc/Nix) - A tortured soul wrestling with their inner demons. Often enjoys having a split personality. Revels in being helpful and Evil at the same time. Will let her squad mates die (just for laughs) but at the same time has been known to die trying to save them. She is often seen standing and staring at the sun muttering "There can be only one!".

    Fixed your descriptions... and added mine own.

    I'm the Herc/Nix Veno of course.

    Much better description of us Venos. I'm a Herc Veno and can totally relate to your description.

    Well, first of all, I laughed so hard I nearly wet my pants because of this thread :D

    Very well done!

    Second, my cleric char tends to lean to a more sophisticated and balanced character than before I was level 70. Sort of like a BM (Male) growing up. I just do full support for the time being.

    My Female Wizard (lvl 66 atm) however is just a young peace of meat wanting to kill all things... more of a Female Archer/BM, but with more magic :D

    My GF is the Herc Veno, but not all the stereotype, but much more like Saitada described her. Lack of Nix counts for something too I guess :)

    Anway, I enjoy this thread a lot :D

    I only read like the first 2 pages of this post b:surrender From what I saw the most common veno was omitted: Veno with phoenix b:embarrass

    Although I have no idea how to describe those because they are all different. Some seem to have bought the bird cause they would kill mobs faster. Some others seem to have bought just because they can...and finally others for the most obvious reason: pvp...

    Great read. I found the Veno +Herc to be especially apt. I think, however, you need to change all the girl/she/her in the veno sections to guy/he/him. b:chuckle

    Anyway, some adds of my own:

    Veno (Bipedal Pet): A guy/girl who has lots of fun with his/her buddy...who happens to be a pet rock. Willing to sacrifice themself for the greater good (usually going after whatever mob has heal-aggroed the cleric). Views themself as the superior player to the herc-noobs while secretly wishing they could afford a herc themselves.

    Veno (Male): The vast majority of the veno community. These enjoy messing with people ("Hey there you big furry panda you. Oh, btw, I'm a guy IRL. LMAO), but are generally ready to step into any role and attempt it admirably. They really shine, however, when luring, actually enjoying the concept of "bait."


    Having played every class, I see myself falling into those stereotypes sometimes when I play x class. As far as the 2 I posted, these are pretty much me (as a guy who plays a veno), with the possible exception of wanting a herc. Sometimes I want one, but most of the time, I'm more than happy with my magmite, BOB. Bob is, after all, much beloved on the Dreamweaver server by me and my friends and guildies. Besides, I play my veno much too casually for a serious investment like that.

    mm, I found this. This fits better the vast mayority of venos. After all, most are venomancers.

    I fit the barb perfect to your description. I'm a natural leader. I run my own faction, make my own squads for whatever need be (TT/FF). I generally bank/tank anytime I can, and help in whatever way. I'm ready to die for the squad anytime needed be, and I'll try to protect everyone to the best of my ability. I keep my cool in all situations, and am always calm. Even when someone makes me mad, I stay calm.

    I'm generally a jumpy, lively person who keeps the chat alive and booming... In GC as well as squad, or whatever ;).

    I so fit that wizard description. Especially the manic part.
    ●Wizard (Male) - Fasditious and pretentious, carries the arrogance of intellectual superiority. Feels the need to remind everyone of his world-ending power, but grows a little manic and unhinged when he finally is allowed to unleash it. "Ahh-hahahahaha!! NOW YOU ALL BURN!!!!"

    These are my thoughts, feel free to post your own:

    ●Veno (+Herc) - A spoiled ditz with a superiority complex. Believes she's better than everyone while relying solely on the hulking slab of meat at her side. Useful, but always demands to be the center of attention.

    ●Wizard (Female) - The studious librarian type. Older than all other characters (except possibly the Barb), and dislikes 'interruptions.' Dispatches enemies with a casual flick of the wrist, and a "May I go back to doing something IMPORTANT now?"
    (note: I envision her very similar to Varsuvius, from OotS)

    ●Archer (Female) - The opposite of the Male Archer. Cold, calculating, and ruthless - a killer to the core. Says very little, especially while putting a bolt through a wraith's head at 1,000 paces. (Jason Bourne in tight leather armor. Be afraid. Be very afraid)

    ●Cleric (Female) - The mother of the group, often venting her frustration with "her children" as their myriad other personalities continually put them at risk, while she's left cleaning up the mess (sometimes with the electric rain of Tempest and a good tongue-lashing for her wayward squad).

    ●Assassin (Female) - Lighthearted and airy, she is a disturbing mix of innocence and violence. Though pleasant to be with, she makes the others thoroughly uncomfortable with her bloodsoaked duality.

    ●Psychic (Female) - Mysterious and elegant, she says very little. There is an air of timelessness about her that makes age impossible to determine. She never really feels like part of the group, merely a gifted individual following in their wake - a living deus ex machina whose abilities rarely come into play except in the most dire circumstances.

    *Note to Herc Venos who might be offended - Yes, I know there are some of you who are VERY skilled and match other, more respectable profiles. Consider yourselves the exception to this stereotype and smile proudly about it.

    *Smiles proudly as the Herc Veno stereotype is soooo NOT me in the LEAST* b:chuckle

    As for the other classes I play...you hit them ALL on the mark for me b:cuteb:victory
