Alt Character concept (bare bones)
I've updated my
first post with a (fairly) final draft of Azten.
Also, here is a potential backup character, obviously not well fleshed out.
<name>
Male Human Fighter 1
Progression: may eventually multiclass to Fight/Sorc
Concept: I've always been intrigued with the idea of the Arcane Archer, but not with some of the abilities granted/details of it's implementation. Besides, most of the population this character comes from is Human, and AA are Half-Elf/Elf only.
Personality: Neither particularly Good nor Evil, he tends to act in whatever way will benefit him long-term while not purposely causing harm to others. His primary interest is his well-being, but he is not so calloused or indifferent that he does not see what is happening to others around him.
Outgoing but not really charming, he has many acquaintances but few true friends. He is of average strength, but is very quick with his hands. He took well to his early experimentation with the bow, and has relied on his skill to earn his bread and scrabble a bit of extra cash together.
Background: Raised in Diamond Lake (DL), wanted to find some way, any way, to avoid death in the tombs like had claimed his father and brother. Found a way in skill with the bow. Mercenary/guard work is easy to find, and pays relatively well for DL.
He is somewhat bothered by how things are declining in DL, but hey, he almost has enough saved up to leave for good. Gotta look out for number 1 first: standing up for others is a good way to get your head in the line of fire. Another couple of jobs should do the trick - He's outta here.
