Hiya Clay!
I'm making a PC with kids. How's that for interesting? (I never saw a PC who had children before.)
What are you up to? How are you?

i once played in a game wiht a father son team. dad was a retired 5th lvl fighter, and when he saw his son taking on evil he cam out of retirement and joined the party. he had some negatives for his age, but he was a kick but guy before them. it was a great scenario, and one that worked because of the guy playing it.
one guy in my tuesday night game is playing a woman with a child....his background follows-
Background: Growing in the small settlement of druids, rangers, and nature clerics. We make our home in a grove of oak trees that surrounds a bubbling brook that flows through the middle of the grove.
Most of my time a child and adolescence was spent being taught by the elders and others on the lore of our grove. This included how to care for animals and what plants grew near and around our grove.
As I grew and mastered the lessons my teachers taught me, they also expanded my tattoos. I also knew, as did most of the girls who lived in the grove that each year one of us would be picked to serve as a vessel at the festival that would bring the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Every year a maiden is dressed up in the hides of fawns and then marked with many different designs of ink and mud and sent out in the forest as game to be chased by the stag. The stag would be a male of the grove who is also dressed in the hides of a buck and a set of antlers. When the buck catches the fawn, they always mate and this shows that spring has arrived and it is a time of celebration. However, all the children who are born from this ritual know they are not any more special then those who are not born from this.
This year it was my turn to play the fawn and after I had birthed my child to help with the growth of the grove, we were set upon by a small group of thieves who stole our sacred scythe that is used to harvest the mistletoe and other herbs that we use for healing, rituals, and other effects. All children from this ritual are also raised by the mother’s family, The men’s family has no say in the matter. The women who have given birth by this ritual, do not have to marry the men and after another year may decide to marry some one else or decide never to marry again. My child’s name is Nembria.
I also live with my parents and my younger sister, Yulhyra. She is ten years younger then me. My mother’s name is Mymethra and my father’s name is Ylgral. Mother is part of the council of elders who help set the laws and rules of the grove. Father spends most of his time teaching how to use weapons to those who want to learn from him. I have heard from time to time, that he left this grove when he was younger to explore the lands outside of the grove, and when he returned, he had the skills of a ranger. Since then he has taught others of the grove those skills and also how to use different weapons.
Ryssa was given to me as a cub and trained by me to be my animal companion. She is a gray wolf, with many different shades of that color.
I have left home after being asked, well commanded actually, to hunt down those three who have taken our sacred scythe and return it to the grove when I can, if I ever find it also.

more backgroundy stuff
Description: I wear brown calf length boots and a pair of breeches that are also brown in color. A light green belt is belted across my waist and it keeps my dark green shirt tucked into my breeches. I also wear a black cloak that falls to my ankles and it has a brown hood that when pulled over my head covers my face in shadow.
My black hair is grown a bit past my shoulders and I usually keep it unbound. I have the reddish brown skin tone of my mixed ancestors. As are my eyes.
Hanging on my belt is a dagger that is mostly used for skinning animals, cutting flowers and other plants, and as a last resort as a means of defense. I keep my spears, when they are not in use, strapped across my back so that they criss cross each other. I tuck my sling into the other side of my belt. My leather armor is usually only worn when there is a need for it, and it has been decorated with etchings of leaves, and has rocks, stones, shells, beads, and other items tied to it.
Starting on the back of my hands and then leading up my arms are a pair of tattoos. They are of tribal markings that start off as a circle that inverts on itself and then opens up into many different lines as the tattoos travel up my arms and then stop at my shoulders.
I am still a bit chubby because I have yet to lose all the pounds that I put on when I was with child. I hope my exercise that I will now get will help me lose those extra pounds, but if they do not then that is part of nature.
Personality: I am usually reserved around those from the city or other places where civilization has sprung up and despoiled nature. However, I have no interest in removing the city dwellers from the land that now claim, but I also will defend the land that remains.
To those who live and make their living by the sea and the rivers we welcome if they have not come to despoil and they are always welcome to our fires. The only ones who I really dislike and might even hate are those races who bask in carnage and despoil what ever they touch.
Other then that I am a very outgoing person, however, I will speak my mind and at times it has gotten me into trouble with those who do not like my words.
Growing up in the wild though, has made me very wise, but I have not had the learning that many would consider needed to be very intelligent, however I have learned to make due with what I do know, but at times I tend to be slow or do not always understand what those around me with more intelligence do.

Wow -- that rocks! I'm just starting on Thana's background (she is the cousin of the cohort of another PC, so I'm thrashing out some stuff with him and some with the DM. Here she is though:
Thana Aulen
As a young woman, Thana was always stronger and faster than her peers. To the dismay of her (rather traditional) parents, from a young age she wanted to pursue the life of a warrior, and left home at the age of sixteen to become a mercenary. She had greatest skill with bows, and focused her training on archery.
After three years travelling as a mercenary, Thana met Arrick, another warrior. They fell in love, travelled and fought together, and eventually married. They had two sons, Arrick and Geren, and the family settled in Whiteton, near Imarr. Arrick (senior) continued to support the family through work as a mercenary -- until three years ago, when he was killed in battle.
The burden to support her sons now fell on Thana. With few skills to help her find work in Whiteton, Thana decided to once again take up the bow and the life of a mercenary. She hires a nanny who takes care of the boys while she is away. Much of her skill now is defensive -- she is less concerned nowadays with racking up kills, more concerned with getting back to her boys (Arrick is now ten, Geren eight) alive and with a little coin in her pocket.
