[QUOTE="Velmont, post: 1978930, member: 13739"] I have written a long background for a character on a game that never starts. Too bad, but I expect some day to play him. So, as his background is a nice story in itself, and as I want to save it somewhere, I thought it could be a nice place. So, if you want to say some comments on his background, go on, I am really interested to know what you think of it. First, the stats, just to save them.
