[QUOTE="Shadeus, post: 2345030, member: 1795"] Back in 1st-edition AD&D, I played a human thief named Derek Shadowalker in a very mixed party. A ranger with a 3 Cha who wore a hood at all times. A evil magic-user who used to collect the body parts of our slain foes. A would-be bard who sold his genetalia to get the stats required to even be the class (his name was Sarnov, but we always called him "sawed off"). Shadowalker was a real mean SOB. He used to routinely steal taking wands and selling them, but only after carving a replacement wand at night. Or swapping out potions of healing for vials of urine. He was a bold thief who was made a deadly assassin by one magic item: gauntlets of ogre power. On one memorable adventure, he got the whole party banished to the abyss (I still swear the only exit was the one marked to the 32nd-level of the Abyss). He ended up dying at level 9 (with enough XP to be level 10...name level!) after his own party tied him up and sacrificed him to a demon. Cursed for all his vileness on the Prime, his ghost was forever to walk with his hated party wizard whom he constantly argued with. It was a mutual torture. He later was resurrected by his arch-nemesis who sent him back in time to find out what happened just before the arch-lich Vecna was destroyed by Kas. Shadowalker barely survived that encounter only to return to his time and become the charmed slave of a vampire mistress. I'd like to say he had a great background, but it was one of my first AD&D characters and the only background I had on him is that he hates the upper class...and I have no idea why. Don't be shy, der_kluge. Be sure to write up one of your own. [/QUOTE]
