[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 1560942, member: 835"] Glad to hear it, guys! Welcome aboard. A few quick notes to be thinking about_: Work on your character's family, in addition to the character itself - if over 15, your chracter is probably married, and over 20 almost definately is. If not, there should be an explanation. Characters would be aware of their family history over the past couple generations, so coming up with a couple personages or events from that history might be helpful. For names, a good resource is Kate Monk's wonderful [url="http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateMonk/Middle-East/Jewish/Biblical.htm"]Onomastikon[/url]. Any Israelite should be a member of one of the 12 Tribes: Reuben, Simeon, Levi [size=1](members must take Levi Priest as their first class, and gain some benefits for doing so. Members of other tribes may take this class, but don't gain the extra benefits)[/size], Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph [size=1](The Tribe of Joseph had two branches, named after his sons: Manasser and Ephraim)[/size], and Benjamin. If you want an Egyptian or Canaanite character, let me know, and we'll go over family info. Finally, each character in Testament has at least one pronounced flaw - something that he or she struggles against or must constantly deal with the consequences of throughout life. (For those without the book, here is a list, although you could make up your own by clearing it with me: Boaster, Bully, Covetous, Coward, Deceitful, Drunkard, Fanatic, Gullible, Hedonist, Inhospitable, Irritatng, Lecher, Proud, Profane, Quarrelsome, Racist, Superstious, Tragic, Vain, Warmonger, Weak of Will, World Weary, Wrathful.)
