Analyzing White Characters

 ... that wouldn't work as people of color.  Fascinating.

I've got one.  Chris in Schrodinger's Heroes  only works as a good ol' boy because he's white, and as such, he makes a terrific contrast to the very mixed remainder of the cast and also to his obnoxious relatives.  Now granted, I set things up that way after  I rolled his ethnicity and gender, because I saw how useful that would be.  But it still plays into the characterization far more than usual.

You do good work, and I think the kicker at the end of this one has a punch as hard as Steel.

Thank you so much. ;-)
