[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9362960, member: 6790260"] Have the basics of my character up (stats, equipment, skills). If I still have access to old campaign stuff, it may not take long at all to code up the powers side of things. [USER=51168]@MichaelSomething[/USER] Any thoughts on what great culture my character might be from? I've taken a Background that adds to History, Scion of an Ancient Bloodline. Figure it's one of those "eldest son of a second son of a second son" kind of things, wouldn't have ever had a chance at the throne in his original time, but by far the closest living relative in the present day, especially if the royal line is otherwise extinct....as tends to happen if you've been gone a real long time. If that's cool with you, perhaps his initial side-goal to his adventuring would be to find the "true heir" (because [I]of course[/I] the line has survived into the present! No [I]way[/I] it died out! ;)), but that might change as he reconnects the threads of tattered history. One idea I like for how someone gets from the ancient past to the present day: adventure went south and he got petrified, but in a cave or dungeon where the slow wear of time is even slower. Eventually, rediscovered long after the creature that petrified him had died, with a kind soul petitioning the church of Bahamut to free him from his stony prison. [/QUOTE]
