Your character swings a sword as a day job but what does she enjoy when off duty? A character doesn't have to be defined 100% by their adventuring role. It is a large part of who the character is yet isn't a complete personality. Fritzgar Hellstorm is a fighter. He is a human who wears heavy armor, carries a shield, and fights to protect his companions. He enjoys strong ale, and tends to gamble away most of his treasure when he isn't using it to pay for pleasure to his favorite strumpet of the week. He lives life fast & loose because he knows how dangerous what he does can be. If you can die on the job at any time, why make plans or put down roots? "Live it up, fight till the end, and die well!" is his motto. Morgan Ironwolf is a fighter. She is a human who wears heavy armor, carries a shield, and fights to protect her companions. She enjoys the occasional glass of wine but remains sober always because her uncle taught her that the only thing worse than a drunken fool is a drunken fool with a sword who knows how to use it. Morgan remains focused closely on her work because she hopes to save enough to build a fine inn, enjoy running it and leave the nastiness of dungeons behind her.Kettia Swiftblade is a fighter. She is a human who wears heavy armor, carries a shield, and fights to protect her companions. Even though she is a commoner, Kettia has a taste for fine things. Not having much of anything growing up, she now used the money gained from adventuring to buy fine art, jewelry,clothes, and luxuries that were at one time only dreamed of. No risk is too great if the reward is high enough. These are all human fighters with the soldier background but they are different personalities. The most interesting and fun parts of playing a character involve what ISN'T always on the character sheet. It is the spark of life while playing the character that makes them interesting. Your character fought alongside orcs at one point. How did that shape her current perception of orcs? Having lived with them is she convinced that they are evil beyond redemption or does she have empathy for them? Can she see the orcish perspective on certain issues? " Hell yeah when I saw that elf I thought it looked delicious too!" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />There is a lot of space to make a character unique beyond the mechanical bits.</blockquote>
