[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 3939415, member: 16991"] It varies - of course, I rarely write out more than a few paragraphs, and frequently it is a battle between a background that fits the story, and the character personalilty that would likely result from that background. The character I am currently playing got passed back and forth between me and the DM, and I was never fully comfortable until his personality came out in the first game. He has mentioned his first love Rosalinda - who he was torn away from, but she is fading into memory. I played a elven widower who gave his half-elven daughter the music hall that he owned, and joined the military as a favor owed to another characters grandfather. He would stop and see her whenever he was in town, but decided the military/ adventuring life fit him as well as a sedintary buisness owner life had. (started play 2nd lvl bard.) Really I strive not for realism but the having a strong consistant personality - like a sitcom character has, you know how he is going to react in most situations. They can change over time, but it is a gradual shift based on events in thier life. [/QUOTE]
