I'm trying to solidify his background a bit. Here's the rambled stuff I wrote over the weekend.[SBLOCK]Bored minor nobility. Wants to have adventures. Finds someone to train him with traps, locks and stuff. Hangs around adventurer bars. Gets called "green" alot. Finds group willing to take him, who are unfortunately, also green. They go to Q'Barr. Party gets wiped by lizardmen except him who hides and somehow gets away. Low on coin, no desire to be common thief, decides to hire on with local guard. "I could go back." he thinks to himself. "No, even if it's just guard duty, this'll be far more exciting than counting coins and talking boring politics with old people." Maybe someone else will come along that needs me. Noone ever does, but even though he won't admit it to himself, he's a bit reluctant to head back out and possibly lose another party. Or get killed himself. Why don't you try finding one of those big warrior types to teach you a thing or two? Look at me. Do I look like I belong up close and personal with some beast while waving a large piece of metal around hoping it bites me instead of my buddies? No, not really. You'll need to learn your way around some kind of weapon though. Fine. I'll learn how to use a short sword or something. But mostly, I want to learn how to use my fingers and my brains. I'm pretty smart. If you were, you wouldn't be here. Whatever. Look, can you teach me this stuff or what? Ya. I can teach ya. It'll cost you though. And if you get caught in some noble's house, don't be bringin up my name. I'm not looking to be some 2nd story criminal creeping into a noble's bedroom and stealing their precious knick knacks. I don't need to do that. I just want some skills that'll get me hired on to an adventuring company.  HA! Oh that's rich.  Seriously! Ok, boy. Whatever you say. Anyways, grab that bag over there and we'll get started. Assuming of course you have the coin? Ya. *throws a pouch which the guy deftly catches* He bounces it up and down in his hand a couple of times and says This'll do. Ok, get that bag and come over here.Conversation with head guard guy goes something like this. I'm looking for work. Can you use that sword you got there? Ya, the pointy end goes into your enemy. Scoffs. You're green, boy, but I need to fill the ranks. Go see so and so and he'll get you set up with schedules and stuff. Oh, and if I catch you stealing anything, I'll feed you to the lizards. I'm not a thief. It's been a year now since he hired on with the watch and he's getting that old itch again. Helps that the memories of his party's unfortunate end have faded along with being in many fights with the lizards since. Maybe it's time to get back out there. Things unsure of: Starting city. Name. Head guard's name. Guy head guard initially sends me to. Guy who trains me on rogue stuff. Party names and classes.[/SBLOCK]If you've got a guard you think can fit into this kind of scenario or maybe point me in a better direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!Brogarn</blockquote>
