I am playing in my first campaign and I am having some trouble with the role-playing. The group is all good friends!! The DM is allowing us to play up to 2 charecters each and since this is my 1st campaign is being very generous(with the other player's consent) to allow me to ck out some of the races and classes. I just cannot seem to get into the roleplaying becase as my name states shy lady. The DM has suggested that if I find something I am comfortable with and can get into playing and realize how much fun it can be I will probably have no problem playing different races/classes in the future. He has given me some of his books to look over and (again with the other player's consent) told me that if I could come up with a viable charecter he would consider it. Since I am Native American I have taken some aspects of the Druid, Ranger and some things I saw in the Rifts: Spirit West book and come up with this. It is not finished but I would really like some input to see if I am just wasting my time or if I should continue making this? Plz keep in mind I am in my first campaign and admit I have no clue what I am doing so don't bash on me toooooo hard! Thank You very much for your comments or suggestions!
After some of your MUCH APPRECIATED advice, I have reworked this. Is this any better??
