[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1293925, member: 198"] Last PC I played before I started DM-ing again was a LN elf scout in a Greyhawk (RttToEE campaign). He was neither the typical elf, nor totally atypical (which is just as much of a cliche now, IMO). As he said once when an NPC automatically assumed he would help her because she was elven, "I'm only elven where I choose to be." He was extremely fond of literature and poetry, but not particularly good at singing or dancing himself. He was a teetotaller, and about as non-vegetarian as you could be. He was bisexual, but almost totally celibate. Was an ex-teacher of literature, ex-soldier, ex-bounty hunter, and quite a reluctant adventurer, saving the world for nobody's benefit but because he quite liked it and wanted to see more of it. Planned to retire after saving the world, but his home was destroyed and his family missing (probably enslaved), so last we saw of him he sighed and headed off to take on an orcish empire. Just a nice, normal everyday guy, whose only abnormality was his insane amount of self-sufficiency, mentally and emotionally. Only character I've ever based almost totally on myself, and was a blast to play. [/QUOTE]
