[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7840668, member: 2629"] Ranger and druid can be a calling, but not the core of a character. A LG Glasyna Tiefling Ranger - she was cast off at birth and cared for by a druidic circle. She was an orphan with no family history or idea of from where she came... until she spoke to an elder elven druid who used magic to discern her origins. She was a direct descendent of an Archangel. Her great, great, great, great, great Grandfather was once the mightiest and holiest of the Archangels. She lived her youth believing this truth as a fundametal element of who she was, shaping her into the arrow of purest holy service in the order of druids and rangers... until the day she realized that her ancestor Archangel fell and took on the name Asmodeus. Since that day she has struggled to deal with what she perceived to be the duality in her ancestry. She comes from the most noble of bloodlines, but it is a bloodline that fell and needs to be redeemed. She uses the skills she learned from the druids to be a ranger, protector and missionary. She seeks to redeem those that she can persuade to follow a righteous path, and send the unredeemable to Hell with messages for Glasnya and Asmodeus, encouraging them to look for the light in their bloodline, using her journey as proof that her bloodline can be redeemed. This is a character that is a ranger, without being just a ranger. They have a story to tell, and motivations that align with what they might obtain from their training, but they are not just a CTRL-C, CTRL-V of Aragorn. [/QUOTE]
