First Post
So, I was statting up a halfling rogue pregen as an option for a playtest game I'm going to run, and decided that one of the Big Problems with the pregen characters is they didn't have actual roleplaying information... which I think set the tone pretty poorly, even if it's something people could just make up.
So I put RP info in for the halfling rogue, and I figure I'll expand it to the other characters. Anyhow, I haven't prettied it up yet so turn back if you care, but I figured I'd get some feedback on how the halfling rogue looks and if it would be worthwhile to continue to make RP sections for the pregens.

Roleplaying
Feel free to change things, but if you do let the rest of the party know so they can change how they think of you.
Fidder is a charming rogue in it for the thrills, more than the reward. His amazing ability to get out of trouble is only matched by his ability to get into it in the first place. A minute or so into a careful planning session around a situation that looks dangerous, it's not uncommon for him to suddenly utter 'Bored now' or 'Time to roll the dice' and spring into action. When not adventuring, Fidder is more oft than not found sitting on a pretty girl's lap playing cards or dice.
Other Party Members:
Corrin Reedson: The Reedsons are a good enough family, I suppose. They stole a contract out from under Great Grandpa hundred years back, so Dad's never really trusted them, but that's in the past. After all, I'm technically seventh... or maybe eighth... cousins with Corrin, so I can't treat him too badly. Of course, this one is just a bit much of a goody two shoes. I mean, at first I'm thinking 'He worships Tymora, this will be great - you can help me really roll some dough in' but he's all 'Taking other people's money would be bad. Tymora hands each of us a deck to work with, and we should make our own luck by doing good deeds'. Bla bla. He's okay, though. At least he's a halfling.
Erais the Sunlord: This guy is going places - he's even already got a classy name: "The Sunlord". He's good for healing and makes a good tag team buddy for when enemies get past the front line. Best part? He prays while I'm still sleeping so that doesn't get in the way.
Kathra Ironforge: Kathra is the iron core of the group. I met her a long time ago at a bar and really hit it off. When she started an adventuring group, I knew I could trust her. When presented with a problem, she rarely hesitates for an answer (even if it's not the most subtle). She is absolutely reliable and I find myself working with her constantly in battle. She gets the enemy's attention so I can get in and do my work. Once an enemy wants to get me, she stops them from following. Out of combat, supply her enough drink and she's tremendous fun.
Riardon Brightvale: If you could vote someone out of the group, it would be this shmuck. He wants to take way too long to plan out any attack. 'Here, let me track and scout the area out'. Like you're the only one who can sneak around, buddy. I don't need to step in troll poop to know what to do. This glory hound is constantly stealing my kills and showing off his elven pecs with his damn bow that's taller than me. I don't care if he's the prettiest - it's skill that counts, and that's all me. Teleporting across a pit to catch Tira? Damn cheater.
Skamos Redmoon: A know it all who doesn't get how the dice actually fall. I don't stand too close to him - in battle, enemies are going to head straight for him, and in the bar, his lack of cool will make me look bad. Erais seems to be able to talk to him, so if I need to drum something through that horned skull, I know who to turn to.
Tira Duskmeadow: This lass is beautiful and exotic. I mean, let me get this straight - she made a pact with nymphs or something for power? Mreow. Sadly, far too interested in Riardon instead of me. She must be won. So far, she has been impervious to my charms. Clearly, I must be more impressive. She's likely to get in trouble in combat, and I'll be there to save her.
