    \n
  1. Any super-hero whose power involves bodily fluids<\/li>\n
  2. A mad bomber<\/li>\n
  3. A character with an incoherent collection of seemingly random traits\/abilities<\/li>\n
  4. Any character entirely based on a jokey name\/schtick<\/li>\n
  5. The same character in every game<\/li>\n
  6. A character with no sympathetic traits<\/li>\n
  7. Any character you can’t describe without referencing stats or equipment<\/li>\n
  8. A character whose most interesting story arc has already happened<\/li>\n
  9. A gritty loner who doesn’t work well with others<\/li>\n
  10. A character the rest of the party has absolutely no reason to trust\/work with other than the fact he’s a PC.<\/li>\n
  11. Like, a totally hot ninja chick with huge tits<\/li>\n
  12. A character with more weapons than friends<\/li>\n
  13. A character belonging to a race with a hive mind<\/li>\n
