In all honesty I'm I the only that does the background first?

Hmm... well, I usually do stats and whatnot in conjunction with writing the history and background.

Thanee said:You do the character background before knowing the campaign's background?
Honesty? Yeah.
It might not be the most fleshed out thing, but the reason and desire for adventure are there. The concept I submitted to Jarval had my character's relationship to both groups and also the reason why I was there.Of course it didn’t get approved but I wasn’t surprised at that.
So now I need to see the campaign background before I can continue.
[ot]Of course I will freely admit that I’m strange and I figure Ray can vouch for that.

The world will be a homebrew of mine that I've used before, the world of Beta. It's basically your ordinary type of D&D world. The region you guys are in is fairly isolated from the rest of the world. It's got just your 2 countries in it, the Queendom of Degal and the Empire Flynn. To the South is an ocean, to the North and East are nigh-impassible mountains filled with Orcin, giants, and dragons. To the west is a swamp that goes for hundreds of miles and it is an accepted fact that it is ruled by the undead. The Area is temperate for the most part. The only way anyone from another country ever comes is by sea or by magic.
The two countries are roughly the same size, Degal borders the Swamp of Despair and Flynn bordering the Eastern Mountains. Both nations are like strips running from the northern mountains to the Ocean. Each country is ~150 miles north-south and 320(Flynn)/360(Degal) miles East-West. They have good relations with each other for the most part. Though each could be self suficient, They often help each other... Though both have forests and access to the Northern mountains, each has their own area that they are richer in. Degal supplies lumber to Flynn, and Flynn supplies metals (Worked and unworked) to Degal.
Pls don't put in your background which one you're from, I'll 'assign' you a country after the characters are all ready, so we can kind of balance the groups. If you think your character should be from a specific country, e-mail me the reason why.
Just a thought to keep in mind about the various races:
Elves are originaly from the Great Forest in Degal, but many do live in Flynn. The Queen of Degal is an Elven Lady.
Dwarves are originally from the Eastern Mountains of Flynn, though a few have taken up residence in Degal. (Flynn extends about 20 miles into the mountains)
Halflings, as usual, live everywhere.
Gnomes are a rare sight, but are seen in both countries.
Half-Orcs are very rare, and most of them are in Flynn, but a few have been seen in Degal.
Humans live everywhere, forming the majority of each nation. The Emperor of Flynn is an older human male.

I'm taking it you mean Jemal rather than me. Because if not, I've gone into auto-DM mode and haven't noticed...
