She's now a young adult and really has no idea who she is or what her past is. She has a name (I chose) but knows it is not her real name. She has no memories of her early life and has no idea why.Now, I know the setting of the game, and I came up with my PCs stats but gave the DM pretty much free range with my history and , in a way, my future, since my PC has no idea who she really is.I think some players would feel weird about playing a PC like that, I see it as an oppurtunity to have to my PC react to things she finds out about herself as she goes along. Things she finds out could be awful, or could be great. I have no idea, nor do I at the moment have any idea how I as the player will have her react to these things. She is lawful good, so if she should find out that something horrible happened....will she abandon her druidic life and seek revenge? If she finds out she's royalty or something, would it go to her head and change the way she is? Who knows? If the DM had given me my stats and everything as well, I think I would also take it as an oppurtunity to do something different. Now, if I had no character sheet at all and did not know what my skills were etc, ...that might be a bit annoying, but I'd have to expereince that to really decide.Also, I have played pre-made characters before and enjoyed but I agree with the person who said, as long as the DM had no pre concieved notions about how the PC would develop as time went on.~Sheri</blockquote>
