A local player frequently runs female characters (He's a male, as can be
abvious of the pronoun, neh?) But most of them are the same. A female who
seems 'butch' homosexual (IE a man in a girl suit). But oh well.

This is the same guy who, in his game, can have a SWAT team touch down
three seconds into a firefight in the Barrens (when, BTW, we were doing
nothing ELSE illegal...)

Munchkin or bad actor. You be the judge.
