[QUOTE="The_Ology, post: 1480858, member: 18262"] Hey everyone. Somewhat new to the EN boards, but, maybe I've run into a few of you in the past. I've rarely had the opportunity to actually PLAY a D&D game or anything like that, due to the fact that I'm often made to run the game, but, I was just curious if anyone was willing to give one of the few characters I was able to play a go, sketch-wise. The name was Reuel Dukat, "Duke" for short. All around fairly athletic (good physical stats), and pretty smart for someone that was raised on the streets in Crockport (Greyhawk setting). Down to Stats/Class/Etc. - Str 17, Dex 18, Con 17, Int 16, Wis 10, Cha 12. Fighter/Rogue/Barbarian/Drunken Master. Getting down to how he actually looked: As I said above, he's athletic looking, but, certainly not the buff, muscle-bound type. And, while not the worst looking man in the world, he's not without his flaws. He keeps his head shaved due to the fact that most of his hair doesn't grow in after he fell off a horse and practically scalped himself (fairly obvious scarring on the top of his head). He's snaggletoothed, as well, with a smile that's often akin to a sociopath. In addition to the abrasion scars on his head, he has what looks like a backwards "7" on his forhead, a scar he suffered from a weapon of wounding. Seven seems to be a reaccuring theme in Duke's career as he also has a deep set brand of the number "7" on his chest, just above his heart. Duke tended to dress fairly appropriately for the adventures that he was forced to endue when he owed the Church of Pelor a few favors. Tough wool pants, heavy boots, and a simple chain shirt to keep him on the move. Usually he pummelled things with his fists if he needed to fight, but he's been known violate giants with their own massive boots, and assault assassins with the unconcious bodies of their fallen comrades. It was all about improvisation with Duke. He has been known to carry around more conventional weapons - for a while, he carried around a longsword named Zalco (L3, Deep Dwarven Delve), until it was stolen away from him (A1-4, Scourge of the Slave Lords). Most importantly, Duke's never seen without drink. It dulls the pain of battle, and does away with that pesky common sense that keeps more tactical warriors from charging into the midst of battle despite overwhelming odds. I based this character, originally, on Hunter S. Thompson, as I wanted to play a character that was constanting in something of a manic, nervous craze, and just had that eccentric energy about him. Mix that with my particular belligerent style of play, and you have a foul-mouthed drunkard with a tendendy to mock fire giants with the head of their own king. "He wept like a woman!" I also was inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's more violent comic-book counter-part, Spider Jerusalem. As you might have seen in the "stats" I gave for him, he was a Drunken Master. I wanted to make a Drunken Master that used the pure drunken anger of a fight, rather than the strange drunken grace that Jackie Chan seems to have. But, I digress. I'd love to see anyone's interpretations of this particular character. He's one of the only characters I have. (GIS for Hunter S.
