Orsal was my first ever character. Created in Basic, although mostly played in 1/e AD&D, he was a human fighter (or, as first called, a fighting man). He was rather obnoxious -- both egoistic and egotistic, and he wouldn't even know the difference, given his Int 6. (This was back in the day when straight 3d6 was considered normal.) But he was the only one of my 1/e characters who developed any sort of personality to speak of -- as my first, I tended to regard him as my principal character, using others only when he wasn't available. So, when I joined ENworld after years outside the hobby, I decided he was emblematic of my D&D experience.
