Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 2343700" data-attributes="member: 158">Solomon Hawkden, Hero of Bel BrekaIt's almost too hard to say, but the one character I've had that stuck out as non-stereotypical was Solomon Hawkden, The Hero of Bel Breka.Solomon (male human) grew up on a farm, always knowing he really didn't belong there, idolizing the stories of the black sheep of the family, a half-orc adventuring aunt named "Greatmum Gurda," who lived in the same town (recently deceased). Gurda taught him many things in his youth, like how to handle weapons, how to dive for cover if explosions happened, how to win at armwrestling through hidden cheating, etc. -- Everything except how to farm, which he was PATHETIC at.He had made friends with a local halfling scalawag, Garrett the Short, and a displaced Elven Wizard , Enilus Stormwarden, far from his homeland who for some reason couldn't return, and misspent a good deal of his time with them. This upset Father greatly, but was ameliorated somewhat when his group accidentally unrooted the trail of the Kidnappers of the Princess of Bel Breka. He left town, after, ahem, surreptitiously allocating Father's Life Savings onto his horse and taking them with him. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Solomon is not, by any stretch, wise. (His Elven Wizard companion even doubts his sentience). He gets surprised quite often, He misunderstands the motives of nearly everyone around him, even friends sometimes, and will even wish his halfling friend good fortune in front of the beings the halfling is trying to hide from. However, he comes up with some rather clever plans every now and again, has a very commanding presence when need be, and fights like a devil and drinks like a demon. He's never afraid to jump into a fight to save a friend, and has sacrificed his life once to rescue the princess they sought. (He was restored to life by a kiss from the same Princess).Solomon in some ways is me, comic effect in others, and in still other ways what I desire to be. Therefore, he's probably my favorite creation to date.</blockquote>
