Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stalker0" data-source="post: 4549246" data-attributes="member: 5889">We all love talking about our characters right? Tell us about your concept, and how that concept came about.My current character started with a name. I was playing a 3rd edition Binder, and one of the vestiges was named Zagan. I don't know how its supposed to be pronounced, so I called it Zah-Gone.I absolutely loved the name, I would repeat it over and over again in my mind. When that campaign was over, I knew I wanted to play a character named ZAGAN.The name invoked absolute raw power to me, and I loved saying the name, so I decided the character would be in love with it to.Enter Zagan the barbarian. A Hercules, son of two gods. Utterly dumb, maximum strength. Zagan never says I, he always talks about himself in the 3rd person, saying his name like the holy word it is!! Completely narcissistic, Zagan believes he is the ultimate warrior, and so acts accordingly. He is also a simple man, he just needs a lot of ale and a lot of ladies (never whores, Zagan never has to pay to get the ladies!!). Zagan is iliterate, but being so prideful he never admits it. But because books are so foreign to him, he treats them with a certain amount of awe and reverence.That campaign didn't last long, but after a hiatus we converted to 4e. I decided I hadn't gotten enough from Zagan, so it was time to play him again. I gave him a small flavor makeover. Changed his parents to fit the new pantheon, but it was still super strong ultra dumb ilterate Zagan. The big change was that in the previous game (E6), Zagan was almost max level, so was practically the strongest warrior of the land. In the 4e game, we were low level in a world with epic creatures, so I had to account for that.The new Zagan was a full fledged 30 level demigod who was sent from the heavens to protect a fellow party member. However, Zagan's father recognized that Zagan's ego would ultimately be his undoing. His father bound Zagan's strength to a small fraction of his normal power in order to teach him humility.But poor dumb Zagan doesn't get that, and so he still struts around like he's a living legend! However, Zagan has failed a few challenges recently, and has had to face the weight of his own living legend as he attempts to understand his new weakness.</blockquote>
