This worked really well last time, so I'm appealing to the creative faction of this board once again. (But if you are another player in this campaign, shoo! S00per-s3kr1t sekrits to follow!)
I'm playing a half-giant psychic warrior in the service of a third-in-line-to-the-throne prince. Her story is that she is the deposed princess of a desert kingdom, and all the other players/characters have this story. The DM/prince know her real story, which is that she is a member of a major desert smuggling syndicate looking to branch out. (She really is loyal to the prince, though, and they're looking for a mutually beneficial agreement between their factions. Also, she needs the paychecks.) The other PCs are her co-workers, and most probably have their own secrets.
Her stats are 18/14/14/14/14/8 - my idea is that she's trying really hard to pull off this royal persona, but is really bad at it, and it causes people to mistrust/dislike her, even if they can't say why. In a pinch, she resorts to bribery to make "friends". My dilemma is: how do I roleplay someone playing a character badly, without looking like I'm just playing a character badly?
