That's how I figured it out. I was about to write that I "calmly look into the barrel", but then thought maybe he doesn't. How should I know? So I rolled =)
To be honest, if the test didn't work out, I'd still be tempted to write this, but it worked out OK.
RE: Autogun. Got it. This doesn't look like a concealable weapon:
I guess I have it strapped on my back or something.

I'm sure that if a fight broke out between the PCs, the Inquisitor would pick just that moment to enter the room and defuse the situation, right? Well, maybe I shouldn't be relying on the rule of drama, but it feels right.

Generally speaking, when your character starts to come alive (in your head, at least), you'll simply know. Others might argue, and you might not always be right, but as long as you go with your gut feeling, you'll at least be true to your character.
I've had characters say and do extremely stupid things because of this, which is actually hilarious since it's the only true course of action :)

Yeah, of course. I suppose it's like any other form of writing, which is something with which I have a lot of experience.
I had a feeling he'd be able to stay calm and RNG agreed, but I'd hate to play too much of a badass. Somewhat more ordinary guys are much more interesting IMO. I'll roll dice whenever I have a feeling I'm writing something I want him to do rather than something he'd do.
Edit: Also, I'm really excited that we've started at last and getting I'm bored now that we're taking a break. I guess it's time to return to playing DoomRL =)

If you're a ganger, you're going to at the very least have to pretend to be a badass, which amounts to the same thing in the current situation. And yeah, you can tell you write a lot.
Signing out, catch you later.
Silhar:
If you really, really want to roll dice for yourself, use this and post links in spoilers.
BTW. I'll post later, now I'm off to church. Cya.
