I try and tailor my character to fit in the world. I will admit I also start to get pissy when I don't get any spotlight. I don't mind sharing and waiting my turn but I do want a turn. I have seen this happen in games I DM where a player may not fit as well as the rest. So I try and bring in something for that player. I have had the experience of being on the peripheral of the game and it was not fun.in the game I mention earlier with my bow was an example of this. We were playing in Eberon and I made a ranger from Cyer who was going for the prestige class cyrean avenger. I had talked with the DM about this and he was yeah sounds good.The game progresses and the DM never brings anything about the cyrean refugee issue into the game. Even though we were in the region where most of them had settled. We spent the bulk of the game dealing with one players big secret and the other player belonging to a group going around closing gates and we were his team even though we had never been told this or asked if we wanted to be part of it.  As characters we didn't even know there was a group that did this.  So I finally spoke to the DM and he said sorry just not interested in your background or dealing with the cyrean refugees. It would have been nice if spoke up months ago so I could adjust my character. When I asked if I could bring in one that would fit better he allowed but I had to come in two levels lower than everyone else and with no magic items. I ended up quitting the game a few weeks later over this.</blockquote>
