[QUOTE="sithramir, post: 6376935, member: 12183"] I think I wrote it earlier. I was thinking my character as a Fey background origin. I was thinking the concept of the Sidhe (or maybe Half Sidhe?) who are not necessarily "immortal" but extremely long lives similar to the elves. They have a court with a King or Queen they all belong to, etc. They're a magic culture with a lot of culture in art, etc. So the character concept of a bard isn't really an "entertainer" as a part of the history of the character who grows up with creatures of nature and song and magic, etc. My thought was to be an iconic character who shows up in the multiple campaigns. As we change levels concepts it's the thought that his magic isn't always there. More of it's there as needed so a level 17 character would be when his magic was strong but the level 1 concept is when it's very weak. I was just thinking either a human or half-elf but making this the flavor of how he ties into the campaign. Just wanted your thoughts as the DM so as to properly fit in and how to make the RIGHT background choices to tie into your world. What you said about gnomes kind of fits but I really dislike gnomes (at least in terms of playing them). I've always shied from halflings, gnomes, dwarfs, etc. I dunno, perhaps I don't want to be too short or something! But gnome could be possible if its what fits the thoughts as long as it's not the standard thought of it. Or maybe i'm a human who got caught up with the fey or something similar and they are holding me forever as a tool to help their interests? Wanted to see your thoughts. *Edit: Fixed a wrong they're... [/QUOTE]
