troubles.....

Not to tell you how to roleplay your character, but based on what you wrote, an easy little hook you could use is to have a problem with "authority figures", based on your relationship with your father. You might not be able to hold your tongue from making insulting comments to aristocrats and leaders and such, as a way of "lashing out" at them as pseudo-father figures. Just and idea.


i really like that idea, mainly because it really could cause some problems for our party, which we nver have trouble finding the humor in. Tha is one good thing about our group, we can always laugh at ourselves and our terrible rolls

and yes, most of the others have about as detailed (if incredibly unlikely) backstories

This is a great idea. Also your character could really have a problem with those who harbor hatred toward elf-human relations, and half elves. Lots of plot hooks here.

You haven't seen bad rolls until you've rolled a critical hit on...yourself. A guy in our group did that once in a Star Wars one shot (but that's another story)...

Sounds like at least you are having fun...and that is, after all, the whole point.

Very cool. I would maybe suggest to the DM that once in a while he maybe bring up a member of her past (a family memeber, someone who knows the family). Something to involve your backstory in the plot.

My PC is a 1/2 elven sorceress 6 /bard 2. She was kind of ousted from her family as well, because her human father had an affair with her mother and her whole family blames her for their father's abandoning their mother. She has one older brother who hates her, a sister who was killed mysteriously and another sister and brother whom she is very close to. She also has one half elven neice, a baby born in a way similiar to her, to the dead sister and an elven father.

She also has a handful of friends who make appearances once in a while and when she is not adventuring, she is an antiques dealer like her father was. Our current mission began because on the way to somewhere else, she intercepted a message about a very valuable artifact that would not only make the party wealthy , but would also get them in good with some nobles.

I think your character is great. I see a lot of potential storylines that could involve her past and her future.

I love that story!
it has about a houndred different plot hooks, many which can be put together. it seems very masterfully done. and it could make for some very humorous happenings. im smiling right now at the possibilities................

Yay! You got a page 2!

I'm going to sleep. But I really think your character has great potential and your DM should easily be able to work in role play opportunities with the detail you have.

Welcome to EnWorld.

(er, fun that is.)

Goodnight!

Sound like you're a potential DM in the making!

Exactly! Hopefully everyone in your group is having fun? It sounds like maybe your DM isn't? If not, let's hope you've been able to get some ideas to overcome that.

we do in general have fun.......our 1/2 orcish barbarian is so constanly attuning himself to spiritual essences that our DM is making him a class focusing on spiritual attunement to spirits. oh yeah, and he is a prince of his tribe, and is married to and elven priestess (also princess).....this is the crazy unlikely but funny backstory i mentioned earlier...........

this is really good stuff......all these ideas...and we are gaming tomorrow!....any ideas for gettin the DM into the fun? he can be a bit morose, and the other player we play with get pissed at the drop of a hat. not a problem, but it can ruin a session if he gets mad. is there any ways we could make a compromise between the 2 styles of play? essentially we have to two hardcore roleplayers (DM and angry player) the 2 gamers and myself in the middle, so it can be kinda problematic when characters go off randomly in search of batttle in the middle of the n9ight when the others are sleeping.
