[QUOTE="hong, post: 156418, member: 537"] The thing about the Realms is that it's so big that nearly every character concept could conceivably be made to fit. That includes the completely mundane ones too. Play a mercenary fighter from the Dalelands. This is about as "generic adventurer" as you can get. The Dalelands are basically your classic isolated-area-with-dungeons starting ground for campaigns. To the north you have Zhentil Keep, which is your classic evil power with designs on world domination. To the south you have Cormyr, which is (more or less) your classic shining realm of truth, law and righteousness. Somewhere in the surrounding forest is Myth Drannor, which is your classic abandoned elven city, crawling with monsters. Lately drow have also been seen in the area, to make life even more interesting. Elminster also lives in the Dalelands, but I'd refrain from working him into your character background. Trust me, this is for your own good. :) [/QUOTE]
