[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 2235140, member: 6584"] Saw this one in a thread a year or so ago and thought it was cool: A non human tribal ranger: One day, in a fit of rage/charm/insanity, they beat their spouse to death. As a result they were banished from their tribe and forced to find a way to live out in the world. Of course, they've trained all their life to hunt humans (and possibly eat them!), by reflex thinking of them as 'prey'... can't help inspecting their weak points (and the tastiest cuts?) and looking at them kinda funny. Which is obviously not helpful when desparate to fit into human society and try to live a somewhat happy life. My choice would be to make this character a hobgoblin woman. Just fits for some reason. Barbarian. Cultured, civilised type of person. Used to be leader of a local militia or small military unit - just recently been sacked... because they are posessed by a demon that magic just can't shift, which drives them into violent killing rages. While this can be lifesaving, it scares the heck out of everyone around them and leaves them feeling weakened and 'dirty'. Whether it's a real demon or a psycological condition is a good question. One I played: a half orc/half elf. (used the half orc stats). Born from the union of an inbred elven prince who fell in love with an orcish Xena type. Raised in an enchanted forest by the tree hugging elves. Thinks of himself as an elf and gets politely confused if anyone disagrees. Figure almost any class could work - I went fighter, although wizard could be fun. Most of the elves didn't mind the guy, but his in laws had some real objections to him... their solution was to send him on an elven 'coming of age' quest - has to leave the forest and either a) Slay some ridiculous creature - great wyrm dragon? or b) Adventure for 100 years. Whichever way, they're not expecting to see him again. :) [/QUOTE]
