Message: <blockquote data-quote="pathfinderq1" data-source="post: 4276502" data-attributes="member: 48394">Updated basic concept info:Name: Osric VonheimRace: DwarfClass: Fighter (great weapon build)Basic Background: Osric never really knew his father- the older dwarf worked as a guardsman for Evenfall, and he died fighting orcs (Or whatever?) that had been raiding the outlying farms which supported the town.  Osric's mother raised him herself- she worked as a healer, midwife, and herbalist- as such Osric grew up seeing a lot of children around the house, and soon developed a protective instinct to those who were younger or weaker than he was.  And even from a fairly early point, lots of people were younger and weaker than he was- he took an apprenticeship with the local smith early on, and quickly turned into a burly lad, even for a dwarf.  His apprenticeship didn't work out terribly well, though- he was always more interested in wielding weapons than in  making them, and he often practiced for hours after his normal chores were done.  What spare time he had was often spend hanging around with the towns guardsmen- at least until a few years ago.  With only a few professional enforcers in town, competition for the spots was fierce, and some of the men who took the job were less than completely honorable.  Recently, Osric became disillusioned with the local guardsmen, and he has hired out as an independent guard for some of the gold panners who wanted to venture a bit farther out along the river, into dangerous territory.  Just last week, Osric very nearly got himself arrested when he stepped into a dispute between one of the guardsmen and a young woman who was not interested in the man's "attention".  Only the fact that several reputable townsfolk, (including one of the local clergy) witnessed the incident kept things from getting ugly.  Osric has continued to practice with a few other locals about his own age, but he seems quieter and more gruff- obviously the atmosphere in town is wearing on him.Personality: Osric is a good-hearted fellow- he is hard-working and brave, though a bit gruff, at least around those he doesn't know well.  Behind his stone-faced exterior, he is nice enough, but he is much better at listening than at speaking.  He loves heroic tales, and when among friends he can laugh and tell stories as well as anyone.  He has a strong protective instinct around those who are less able to defend themselves.</blockquote>
