[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 3105985, member: 40076"] Hehehehehehehehehe... The Barbarian is actually from a rather large city. He used to be a school teacher, but after grading the same tests for several years, he ripped off his shirt and tie one day and bought a really, really big axe. He pretends to be much, much stupider than he is. The Bard's married... three times over. His wives know he's a wandering adventurer, and have accepted it, but they don't know about each other... He may or may not have several children from these women, but he's starting to think he could take on a fourth... The Cleric's parents died tragically in a horrible natural accident. The well-wishers came to their funeral, all uttered the same phrase... "Such a shame, taken by an act of god..." He's pledged to find this god, and kill him. The really scary part is... he's actually making headway. A cult had been operating in that area, and if not for their minor actions, the horrible accident would never have happened. Now, the cleric is devoted to wiping the world clean of this god's followers, ultimately killing the god itself. The Druid loves nature... especially how it TASTES. He's a rampant Omnivore. He's eaten everything imaginable... but... he's still got one thing that he hasn't eaten yet... the sapient races. He's sure that they must be the most luscious, flavorful meat of them all... and adventuring looks like a fine way to learn for himself. The Fighter has these real whangers of headaches... sometimes they get so strong that he passes out... and when he wakes up he's never in the same place he was when he fell over... The Monk learned his technique from a folded-paper pamphlet, it cost him six copper pieces when he was a child. He still has the pamphlet, and reads it daily. though it's badly yellowed and dog-eared, the techniques described and illustrated in it are distressingly effective. The Paladin has a girlfriend... okay, well, she doesn't know it. Y'see, He's had a crush on this one girl since they were kids and... he's never been able to express his emptions to her.
