[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7156732, member: 20323"] Man, what kind of critter write-up are *you* using? :-S I approve. :] I recommend this [url=http://angband.oook.cz/steamband/CharacterTraits.pdf]Character Traits PDF[/url] btw. [B][I]Ehinéus[/I][/B], a paladin of the Sundered Lance, who last remembers being surrounded by a flash of bright light facing the Questing Beast (or whatever your critter was). Ehinéus tends to wax philosophical, but in a grounded salt-of-the earth way. He is vaguely aware that he's not in his original body, but doesn't make a fuss about it, and seems to be vaguely aware of the actions taken by other personalities...but in a removed way...as if talking about a friend (or friendly rival) he hasn't seen in some time. Ehinéus embodies the best of the Lawful Good alignment. He isn't preachy, but knows where to draw the line. He isn't stupid, and knows when to laugh off a doctrinal/philosophical difference that's not a big deal in the larger picture. He isn't a zealous kill-machine, but has years of military experience back up by sound strategy. And he's no martyr, but he'll lay it all on the line for a true friend or a cause he believes in. Among his [B]personality traits[/B]...Ehinéus has a fondness for beer, especially the deep scent of a nice dark sweet malt from his homeland, but never drinks to excess. His roots are in the country, where his mother was a minor baroness of an outlying province, and while he tries to rise above it, every now and then he slips back into the vulgar lingo he grew up with. His [B]ideal[/B] is Respect, believing that people, great and small, rich and poor, all deserve to be treated with respect. When push comes to shove, however, his [B]bond[/B] to the scattered brethren of the Sundered Lance may come between him and his current allies and quest. Finding them...despite the fact it's been many years...or their offspring and making sure they're well is of importance to him. If he were to discover the Sundered Lance had disbanded, turned to evil, or been slaughtered/imprisoned, that could spur Ehinéus to immediate action contrary to the desires of the rest of the party. While usually a prudent man, Ehinéus has a glaring [B]flaw[/B] – Ehinéus is the world's worst liar, even when a "little white lie" might spare someone pain. He tells it like is is and has trouble keeping his true feelings hidden for longer than a breath. His sharp tongue can land him in hot water if he's not careful. [/QUOTE]
