RPG mechanics suck as character-defining.  To me the 'character' is the character the player plays, what comes out of their mouth and to a lesser extent what is written on their rules-free 'background' sheet.  Not the numbers.This is a character:Character Name: Bulwark GravenRank/Position/Concept: Sees himself as a protector of his race.Sex: NARace: Altani WarforgedHomeland: AltanisAge: Unknown (many thousands)Height: 6'6"Weight: 288lbColour of - Hair: - Eyes: - Skin: Rune-inscribed on top of his head; Eyes are blue and have a faint glow when in combat; The skin is a bronzed colouration, with a silver coating around the head, hands and feet. Appearance: Imposing, you might say statuesque. Clothing: If not wearing armour, Bulwark does not wear clothing as he rejects the imposition of standard human social norms.Demeanour:  DrivenMotivations:Bulwark constantly searches for any items or knowledge relating to the construction of warforged. I seek information about the nature of my construction, it is clear to me that warforged are superior to mortal races, perhaps the mortal races are much less than they once were?Twenty years ago, while investigating the 'ruins of Narorich', Bulwark became separated from its other warforged companions. After searching the ruins for two weeks, I found all 5 friends, chopped into pieces and inscribed withstrange looking runes. Taking all the pieces of friends to the surface, Bulwark found an arcanist capable of viewing the moments of their death, from this discovering the name of the Orichalan-Warforged responsible for their death.  Azm Zealot. Bulwark hopes to find the means to restore his companions, and to punish this crazed warforge.This is just stats:Bulwark Graven, level 5 - SteveWarforged, WarlordBuild: Bravura WarlordWarlord: Battlefront LeaderCommanding Presence: Bravura PresenceBackground: Defender of the Oppressed (Streetwise class skill)FINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 20, Con 12, Dex 10, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 14.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 17, Con 10, Dex 10, Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 14.AC: 22 Fort: 19 Reflex: 17 Will: 17HP: 44 Surges: 9 Surge Value: 11TRAINED SKILLSAthletics +10, Streetwise +9, Intimidate +11, History +9UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics, Arcana +4, Bluff +4, Diplomacy +4, Dungeoneering +2, Endurance +3, Heal +2, Insight +2, Nature +2, Perception +2, Religion +4, Stealth, ThieveryFEATSLevel 1: Armored WarlordLevel 2: Axe ExpertiseLevel 4: Lend StrengthPOWERSWarlord at-will 1: Wolf Pack TacticsWarlord at-will 1: Commander's StrikeWarlord encounter 1: Vengeance is MineWarlord daily 1: Bastion of DefenseWarlord utility 2: Shake It OffWarlord encounter 3: No Gambit Is WastedWarlord daily 5: Stand the FallenITEMSAmulet of Protection +1, Magic Scale Armor +1, Magic Battleaxe +1, Heavy Shield, Distance Handaxe +1, Magic Greataxe +1, Climber's Kit, Sunrod (10), Thieves' Tools, Oil (1 pint) (5), Silk Rope (50 ft.)
