[QUOTE="penance, post: 3103999, member: 45645"] Excellent! Ok, now we have six people that have submitted their backgrounds; All the users mentioned below have my OK to post their character sheets: 1. JKason -Undercover Cleric of Fharlanghn 2. Rhun -Ranger 3. Post Life Entity -Fighter 4. Al the Absentminded -Druid(and an excelent background for a druid!) 5. Preist Sidran -Bard 6. Lot -Fighter/Rogue Ok, this is what i generally get as the basic backbground and motivators: 1. JKason [sblock]As per the secret rituals of the widespread Fharlanghn worshippers, this cleric vetures forth under the guise of an adventuror to gain in knowledge, and to see the land far and wide. Primary motivators would be curiousity and knowledge.[/sblock] 2. Rhun (JKason, read this too)[sblock]Right now, I veiw your ranger as the way I'm going to tie all these people together: the Ranger will ahve been captured in a slave run, and will be seen by the(some/all?) party members fleeing. They will recongise his courage and rescue him from the slavers, but not before he gets horribly wounded by them. The only way to save his life is for JKason's cleric to heal him, revealing his secret to at least some of the group. Does that sound... realistic? :D better than 'you guys are all in a tavern together,' I hope.[/sblock] 3. Post Life Entity [sblock]Your fighter decides to make her own bid for glory.
