Who was your first RPG Charcater and what ever happened to him/her

[Ragnar Rocker]

First game i ever played was AD&D first edition. I got handed this character sheet for a high level wizard named Torgel. I had no clue about what to do with this guy (hey it was my first character and i was only like 12) but i know he had a -5 AC both front and back and everybody told me that was excellent. He ended up getting toasted by red dragon breath.

The first RPG I ever played was Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay by Games Workshop back in the day when they were a good company.

He was a human mercenary named Wolfgang Schmidt. He was played over the course of a summer holiday and is probably still running around the Empire somewhere.

Ahh... the old D&D Basic Set... Val the Fighter, and his compatriots, Alora the Magic-User, Questor the Elf, and Galadria the Elf. They were around for a long time, and eventually all became immortals together. Then 2E came upon us. We skipped 1E and went straight to 2E. The group eventually returned, stripped of their former power, (for "cheating imortality") but really stuck out in a AD&D setting. The treat with the characters (mostly Val and Questor) is that they still "think" in OD&D. For example... "What class are you, sir?" VAL: "I am a Figher! My friend Questor here is an Elf!" LOL! I love it...

Let me try this again.

My first character was an AD&D CN Halfling thief/fighter named Flinx. I remember him doing a lot of stupid things like touching a glowing statue or something and be transported straight to Lolth, letting himself be lowered on a rope at the end of a pole to see what was at the bottom of a dark hole (anyone ever been fishing?), etc. I'm surprised he survived as long as he did (albeit with at least once resuurection). I guess I had a very forgiving DM. I think he finally met his end in a campaign involving the Kua Toa and Blibdoolpoolp. I believe he somehow ended up underwater with no way to reach the surface before drowning. I'm sure he was doing something stupid at the time.

I still remember him fondly though. Hence my screen name.

Ahh

In my first DnD game about 7 months ago I played a Level 7 human illusionist.

Silvar Maghin

He was awesome. I still have the character sheet. It was AD&D, and before I had any rulebooks for any edtion. It was on www.roleplayinggames.net. The game started good with Silvar and A Gnome Rouge havign a sparing match outside a tavern. Then the dm went missing...

Pyke the Halfling, back in Basic D&D. Only ever got as high as 3rd level.

My first character, using the red basic set back in 1980 was a Mace weilding Cleric whose name I forget. He had two bullywug hirelings (I had the bullywug figurines) who went on the sample adventure with a rogue (played by a friend) we killed the Carrion crawler (had that figurine too), but later died up against marauding orcs.

Taking up the Orc idea I created Hakyn Slash my Orc Fighter/Barbarian who was a mindless tank - he rushed in killed lots, died early.

My most well loved character is Orbril the gnome who has had various incarnations in DnD, GURPS and online. He is always a gnome and Master of a Circus.

I tend to use him as an NPC when I Dm or as a background figure for my 'other' PCs (ie they have all either travelled with the Circus caravan, been members of Orbrils Circus, or been helped by the Circus)

I think I was about 8 or so when I first played an RPG with an actual rulebook. It was the Star Trek Adventure Game that FASA put out back in the 80s. I played Captain Ryan Nock (the same as my real name), commander of the U.S.S. Hood, NCC-1703 (or was it 1707?). I don't recall too many things we did, but my older brother was the GM, and he based the final adventure we played on The Hunt for Red October. A Klingon with a Bird of Prey that could fire while cloaked was planning to defect to the Federation. And mind you, this was a good two years before Star Trek VI came out with a vaguely similar plot.

Capt. Nock was incredible in that I'd actually rolled a 100 Luck Score. In Star Trek, your scores went from 71-100 for most things, like Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Perception, so you rolled 3d10+70. But for Luck, you rolled a straight d%. And I got a 100. I wonder if I'd have played quite the same way if I'd gotten a lower number.

Actually, my brother had a nasty penchant for stealing from movies. In the Mechwarrior game I played in, my character nearly died when my brother decided to reenact the end of Glory.

Gar the dwarf (I was about 9 or so)- Retired to a nudist colony where he went on the invent ketchup.

Sadly, all these people with grand stories of how their very first characters went on to do grand things -- my first character I ever PLAYED was a nameless Elf Fighter/Magic-user?Thief in first edition, who never made it higher than 1/1/2... He had much potential, but thanks to my terrible dice rolls, I don't ever recall attacking and hitting anything with an Armor Class lower than an 8!

Keep in mind that I played OD&D and 1st edition AD&D for almost 9 years before I was anything but a Dungeon Master...
