Suggested Characteristics

Successful gamers often mask their intentions through a stony visage, sometimes called a "Poker Face," both during their games and when conversing with others. Gamers are often cerebral and cunning, and sometimes manipulative and deceitful. However, what matters most to the average gamer is their game, and their ability to play that game is how they best express themselves.
