Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nonlethal Force" data-source="post: 3080943" data-attributes="member: 35788">What follows are samples of the basic background of the significant characters within the story told as <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=161528" target="_blank">Bitterness Overcome</a>.  There should be some explanation as to how the story is written.  I have always been a fan of Dungeons and Dragons and played my first game during the phase of the Second Edition.  I began serious gaming after 3.5 was introduced and enjoy the character development aspects of the role playing.  Since I am familiar with that game above all the others, I tend to use it to help develop characters.  However, this does not imply that the story is a glorified transcript of a game that has taken place.  The character development mechanic used through the role playing game system is merely a guide for my imagination.  The characters often find themselves falling short of the potential of a character that might be role played at a table top.  Just as often, the characters of the story find themselves able to stretch the boundaries of what they might be able to do if they were being played at a table top.  Thus, what follows in the character description sections are merely the nuts and bolds to allow those who do game to get an appreciation of the basic mechanics that the character originated out of.Where possible, links have been provided.  If there is interest in anything of more detail, I would invite you to post.  You are welcome to post here or in the Story Hour thread.  Reader comments are always welcomed.  Further background information can usually be provided quickly, so I encourage those readers who are immersing themselves into the world to pose questions.  If nothing else, this helps flesh out the world for the other readers!I should also add that the list should hopefully be kept reasonably current.  Thus, what follows may contain spoilers for those of you who are not current with the story.  Please be aware of that fact.  If anyone is really into bookkeeping and they notice a mistake in what follows (such as a piece of equipment that should be noted and isn’t) please feel free to inform me!</blockquote>
