[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 1466385, member: 12043"] I have never actually started off at First level :( I always come into campaigns late and end up starting around 4th). Very briefly ... Djeta - Bard 2 / Sorcerer 6 - half elf. Djeta was the black sheep of her all human family. The only half elf in a family of humans. One of her brothers and her fathers wife consider her the reason their family fell apart, however her other siblings love her. But because her oldest brother makes her life a living hell, her father, a sort of antiquites dealer takes Djeta out on his missions and adventures where she learns that she has sorcerer abilities, and how to get by on her charm and talent. Years later, at age 27 , Djeta is summoned by a contact to tell her about a particular artifact. There she meets up with the guys who later become her travel party. Tilly - Sorcerer 5 - gnome (illusionist). Tilly is an adorable, perky, and excitable childlike character. She is fascinated by everyone and everything. She is raised as basically a little princess in her highly protected village in the forest. Her great granpa founded the village and cast the spells to protect it. Tilly is very happy and learns how to cast illusion spells (she has no need for offensive or defensive ones, after all). But one day, a party of adventurers comes to her village and helps her family. She asks her grandfather to let her go with them, and see the outside world. She says shes good with a bow and can handle whatever she comes up against. As she goes along, she realizes that she can cast helpful spells (how I explain the addition of new spells to her list), and use her illusions to get her by. :) (I love Tilly, she's probably my favorite) Rhiann - Druid - elven Rhiann has the most interesting background of them all. She has no background. She was found by druids wandering around when she was 7 or 8 years old. She had no idea who she was, or who her family was. (I gave the DM my full permission to make the background up as she goes along). As she gets older, she becomes a druid and is sent out on her own. She meets a mentor of sorts who puts her with the traveling party as a "moral compass". She is haunted by nightmares, and struggles with the balance of whether she really wants to know what happened to her and her family so long ago, or if she merely wants to erase it from her mind. She is worried SHE will change if she finds out, and become vengeful and obsessed. I just started playing her, but I can tell she's a fun character to play. [/QUOTE]
