[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 7522589, member: 6702445"] Let's see. Each of these characters was from a game that lasted 3-4 sessions, even though they were all run by different GMs. First, there was the crocodile demon (from an Egyptian-flavored pantheon) exiled to Earth in the Buffyverse campaign. She had a tragic backstory that never got to be used. Then, for D&D, I had a monk in a game inspired by [I]Shadow of the Colossus.[/I] Her village was destroyed by a kaiju when she was a child, and many of the villagers had sought refuge at the local monastery, where she had learned martial arts. She was an excellent pupil and was feeling pressure to join the order herself--both because her family owed them a debt and because the monks believed she was well suited to their disciplines. But, not being sure she wanted to commit to such a life, she used the excuse of needing to raise money for the reconstruction of the village to become an adventurer and see the world. I really wanted to find out what choice she would eventually make, but sadly, the game died when she was only level 2. And then there was the halfling bard, who grew up on the streets but was taken in by an elf lady who heard him singing on a streetcorner and sponsored his musical education. He took to the finer things of life and spent much of his adventuring money on clothes. But he retained an astonishing vocabulary of vulgar and profane insults, which he would hurl at enemies during combat [I](vicious mockery).[/I] I even bought a make-your-own Shakespearean insult book to use while playing him. That game's officially just on hiatus, but I think the last time we played was 2015 or so. [/QUOTE]
