I am not going to go through all the work of making this character I will never play (at least in this form), but here is the basic idea
Sampson Starkweather *
Ranger 1 / Wizard 3 (transmuter) Background: Folk Hero
HD: 1d10 + 3d6 + 4 HPs: 26
STR: 14 (+2) DEX 14 (+2) CON 13 (+1) INT: 16 (+3) WIS: 14 (+2) CHA 15 (+2)
Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Insight, Nature, Perception, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: Brewer's Tools, Vehicle (land)
Languages: Common, Elvish, Primordial
Background Feature: Rustic Hospitality
Favored Enemy: Beasts
Feats: Mobile
I see Sampson as kind of a Gandalf type, spending time among the little folk and helping out against wild beasts and threats to their agrarian society (thus beasts are his favored enemy). I see him also running a still in the woods (one of his flaws is his tendency to spend downtime deep in the jug).
I see him having long steel gray hair and a beard. He is tall and in his 40s.
* In 2013 I was at a poetry reading at a bookstore and this guy comes up to read some of his work and introduces himself as "Samson Starkweather" and I immediately turned to my wife and said, "My next D&D character is gonna be named Samson Starkweather." I added the "P" afterwards. I was playing in a game at the time, so figured I'd have to wait to play him, but I didn't realize it'd be this long.
