I'm confused. Why would you want other people to tell you what to do?

Anyway, I would advise not being a half this / half that. It screams Mary Sue to me.

There's no "disadvantage" to being human or monster. Some people use monsterdom as a cover for asshattery.

Yeah, at least the pink asshats are honest about it, right? :roll:

Never once have I attempted to hide or embellish how much of an * I am, and you know it.

Davith, the key is to have fun. Some people fit the monster types a little better than others and are more natural monsters, others have to work at it a little more, but everyone that I know that is a monster enjoys it.

Wasn't talking about you, and you know that too. :P

The pinkskin is right. No matter what you choose, have fun with it. I can't say I know a lot about the Scots, but there are plenty of people who play that role to a T and enjoy it immensely. Go all out with it if you want. Or don't. It's completely up to you, and * anyone who tells you otherwise. We monsters do have a lot of fun, but it certainly isn't for everyone.

There's going to be a lot of variance in how you would portray a Scot, depending mostly on historical period, geography (highland, lowland), and status (how much money you got). Nail down a specific time, place, and rank and you'll have much easier time developing a character from there.

You should check out the "I Want to Be..." forum over at the Armour Archive. There's 3 threads about different Scottish personas on the front page.
