One of the most intellectually able, witty and sincere people which you will meet in your entire life! Ramisa will probably be found volunteering at a blood donation drive, babysitting her neighbor's kids for free and/or helping deprived inner city children with their homework. Ramisa(s) will probably rise to become one of the most hard-working people in our modern day societies and use their powers for good instead of evil. Did I mention that she is pretty too?
Bob: Hey guys, I just saw Ramisa and she is currently donating her time volunteering at the Red Cross and helping kids from L.A. with their math homework!
Dill: Gee, I wish that I knew more people like her! Ramisa sure is one of the best girls I have been blessed to meet.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
