[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 6984917, member: 6855204"] I'm seeing a man, or Aasimar, who's at the end of his rope. He was married, had two beautiful children, all of whom were violently taken from him. For a long time, he spent much of his time in the drink. On the outside, he was spent, empty, nothing left but a bag of skin consuming more alcohol than food. But on the inside, a fire burned. A need. He didn't want revenge, because in the end, he blames himself for not being able to protect his family. His ineptitude was responsible for their deaths, and his nightmares tell him that he is the one responsible. But he can do something about it. That's when he starts training. I see a number of directions for him. Fighter or Paladin make sense, though I do so love Warlocks, and a great old on Warlock would fit nicely, I think. As in, he went searching for a means to combat the power of the Magi, and wound up touching the mind of a Great Old One, syphoning power from it. Or he could just be a fighter, and began training in earnest when his family died, pretending to be lost in the drink in public so nobody knew what he was doing. I almost like that idea better. I'm never just a fighter. Maybe it's time I tried one. I've had a vision of a man with glowing blue eyes, wielding two curved long swords and wearing heavy armor for a while, now. Maybe I could use him, and go Eldridge Knight at level 3. Do variant human if possible, take the Dual Wielding Feat and the Two Weapon Fighting Style. I know, most people say it's not optimal, but that's just how I see him. Add in heavy armor, and a little magic later, and that's the character I see. He's someone who cannot not help someone he sees in trouble. He hates the Magi, but doesn't necessarily openly plan against them. He's frustrated, alone, tired, and all he has is his training. The exertion is the only thing that helps him forget. I don't think he started training to do anything. He just started training. Subconsciously, he's doing it so he will never be weak again. It's the only thing he can think of to do in his situation. The way he feels it, everything good inside him died when they died. He has a hard time connecting to his emotions, other than frustration and anger. Everything else is drowned in his whiskey bottle or through the exertion of his training. [/QUOTE]
