[QUOTE="Deskjob, post: 5929532, member: 84205"] [MENTION=99953]Zerith[/MENTION] Sure thing. Let's see if we can't help you out. Character creation is one of the most enjoyable parts of RP'ing. 1st, start with a concept you enjoy. Think of your favorite forms of hobbies and entertainment. Whether they be movies, books, woodworking, drawing, or maybe videogames? Write down what comes to mind. 2nd, pick a favorite. Sort them out and see what would work best for the campaign and for you. Now embody that idea into a single person. What do they look like? What do they wear? How do they carry themselves? Spend all that awesome brain power on imagining your character. Since your an artist you might try drawing them too. 3rd, pick an archetype for your character. Warrior, Thief, or Mage. This can become their classification during combat. Ex: Fighter Class, Rogue Class, or Wizard Class. 4th, build them. D&D gives us rules so we can actually 'build' these characters and bring them to life. Just follow the rules and create your character. All done! Congrats! ...Now enjoy Roleplaying as this character in the Campaign. It doesn't get much simpler than that. Most players come to learn these steps by heart and use them often. Since you seemed to be having trouble I thought it would be a good review. Even if you have already been exposed to these easy concepts before. You can PM either me or HolyMan if you need more help! Best wishes! :D [/QUOTE]
