Wow, I got a couple of reactions out of that. My girlfriend plays more or less to be nice. She isn't a hard core Role-Player. All of her characters are her with magic powers. Every character she plays is identical except she has different powers and different gear. So, if all her characters are her.... she expects every character I play to be me. Sucks, huh? Every character I play has to be a tall thin white guy with black hair. Shamans need to be Indians (which I am partially) or "Gone Native" (which she wouldn't go that for either). Blessed she thinks are always priests, Madscientists are just to bizzarre for her taste. A lot of the other supplemental Arcanebackgrounds need to be ethnic, and don't even mention Whatley Blood! And then there's Hell on Earth... Doomsayer "Eww. A mutant?" Templar "Self righteous jerks" (our last 3 Templar picked on her constantly) Syker "But you have hair!" Junker? the name says it all. which leaves me with non-ethnic Hucksters, Gunslingers, and Gamblers.
 
I usually marshal.
 
Dispite our differences in role playing technique, I love her, and try to keep her happy. and don't get me wrong, i love the fact that she plays with us (her with only one girl stuck for several hours with 8 college role-players....) It's usually her that saves the day and actaully TALKS to extras instead of assuming everyone is a moving target, as the guys do.
