[QUOTE="Ktulu, post: 4839177, member: 13465"] I like to think of what a beginning character of X class is like. I always start with what class or, at least, what style of class, and then ponder on what the character is like. i.e. with my next character, Caeradwyn, I was thinking about playing an eladrin wizard who used a longsword. Since that's eccentric by human standards, I figure he's somewhat arrogant. But, since he's only level one, I figure he's also naive and believes his abilities to surpass what they actually are; you see, Caeradwyn may be an accomplished theoretical wizard, but outside sanctioned duels, he's never been in a real fight before. That's basically it in a nutshell; he's arrogant due to his own personal successes, but has no real understanding of the harshness of magic. He sees only it's perfection (like Obi-wan spoke of lightsabers as elegant and romanticized the whole Jedi, yet they're only used for killing purposes). Sometimes I'm just inspired by a line in a book, or a cool drawing, but most often, it's built like above. Just thinking of traits and emotions a character might display and build around that.
