My character idea is Thorin Oakenshield, the most classic dwarf character in literature.  We're not talking about a half-dragonborn/tiefling bloodhunter/hexblade here, about as normal, and safe as a PC can be. It's literally the trope-setter for many. Yet I just got denied for being an entitled Mary Sue for suggesting my PC might have a long-term goal beyond get XP and get gold. I can be as disinterested in working with you as you are working with me. You wanna meet me half-way? I'm all ears. But so far, I've heard a lot of ultimatums, a lot of accusations, and a lot of bloviating about how their way is perfect and everyone else is wrong and ruining modern D&D. I'm eternally thankful I have a group of players who are invested enough to literally hand me quest ideas they want to play and trust me enough to give them a good experience. I'm equally glad I have a DM who does the same for me. And I'm eternally thankful the D&D game is giving me MORE tools to do it with and the trend is towards my style of gaming. Because if not, I'd have quit D&D decades ago.</blockquote>
