(FWIMC: I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, if it isn't, could someone move it to the correct spot? Thanks.
PS: I put it here because this is where you put conversions, and you will be converting yourself, so... yeah.)
So. I don't know who watches DawnforgedCast on Youtube, but this week, he's doing a thing where he's posting a video up everyday, and wants his viewers to make a video response, answering his questions, or whatever the case may be.
Well today, Monday, Feb 25, he posted a video asking for his subscribers to Stat themselves. I thought it was a great idea, but as I don't have a webcam, or a microphone (mine was stolen at a LAN party a couple of weeks ago) I thought I'd bring the question here.
A few rules: You can use any addition of any system you wish.
Don't go beyond level 2 with your portrayal of you. (I'd say one, but if you're like my you may need to multiclass)
Try and keep it simple (Name, though doesn't have to be your real one, Race, Alignment, Class, Stats, and maybe Skills.)
Without further ado, I present... Me.

Dwarf : Of course I'm not really a dwarf, but due to my nature as a person, I find myself relating more to dwarves. I'm fiercely loyal, I am set in my ways, and traditions, and I may stick to family more then the average human, and I may be a bit gruffer then I mean to be.
Neutral (close to Lawful) Good : I find myself to be quite a kind person, and I'm very strong in my convictions, but my convictions aren't carved in stone. I'm still young (22) and I still have a lot of growing up, and learning to do, so it is possible I could be CN by the time I finish "growing" if something were to happen to me over the course of time.
Bard 1/Barbarian 1 : I went with Bard due to my nature to entertain those around me. I love my artistic side quite a lot, and I think that's why I got into Role-Playing in the first place. I also like to tell stories aloud, giving a grand scale to everything that I say and due. I'm also animated, and am quite laid-back, one could say. As for Barbarian, when I was younger (and I guess, even to today) I've been known to have a bit of a hot-streak. I don't mean to get angry, but sometimes I just do, at the smallest of things. I've had help in controlling that anger, and it doesn't bother me all the time, but still, I know its there.
Stats : (I decided to use a 20 point buy for myself, to try and keep it fair...)
-Str: 11 : I'm not to physically strong, though I'd like to think I am sometimes, but I do try my hardest to not become physically weaker then I am.
-Dex: 14 : While I am a stocky fellow, I am light on my feet, and quite nimble with my hands and feet, which probably came to me due to my 4 years boxing when I was younger.
-Con: 16 : Not counting my Stomach Reflex, I have quite a high constitution. I had the nickname Iron Stomach in school due to the fact that I could eat anything the crappy cafeteria dished out. (be it fish, beans, or there poor excuse for a hamburger) I also don't get sick, though I do have allergies, they don't hamper me much, outside of a runny nose. I must admit, my Con is epic (in my opinion)
-Int: 15 : I'm no slouch in the int department either. I love to read, and learn about a whole assortment of things, from history books, mythology, farming, religion, or just good old science related texts. My biggest issue is retaining it. If I could do that, my Int score would be 18 I think.
-Wis: 12 : Sure, I know somethings, but I say wisdom grows with the number of experiences you have, and I'm only 22, and I promise, I have a whole number of experiences to go before it amounts to anything.
-Cha: 10 : I'm not a big presence, I guess you could say. I am shy around new people, and this is what holds me back the most, I think. Even though I love to entertain people, I do better around people I know. To be honest, everyone I know in real life was a person someone introduced to me, I never really searched out for people.
Skills: Diplomacy +8 (I can be a pretty logical voice of reason in most spats), Handle Animal +5 (I'm not shy around the furry critters), Intimidate +5 (I can be kinda scary if you don't know me...), K (History, Local) +8 (I love reading, as I mentioned), Perception +6 (I try to always keep an eye out for things around me), Sleight of Hand +6 (Nimble fingers, thank you video games), Survival +6 (I camp every summer, I know how to hunt, and clean my own kills, create fires, fish, build make-shift tents, and a number of other things... but I don't like camping... go figure...)
So... there's me, as a character. I hope you do the same thing, and give as much detail, if not more. Can't wait to read about you, and how you think of yourself.
