I named him Gregor and loved playing him as an evil SOB with occasional moments of "nice".I have pages and pages of various D&D characters that I have played over the years.  I started playing back in the ‘80’s right about the time the second edition came out.  Out of all of them, the one character I loved to play was a Female Elf Rogue named Vixen.This was in the 80’s when I was Air Force and stationed on an island out in the Bearing Sea and had just started playing.  There was about ten of us that were gamers and we used to have marathon games stumbling bleary eyed over to the chow hall for a quick bite and then go to work.  I had made about 3 or 4 characters that I played in various games earlier.  We had a new guy come in and he wanted to run a game so we went for it.He was kind of a strange dude, he had us roll for everything when making a character.  We rolled for race, sex, class, and of course the usual stats.  And that was how Vixen came to be.  The storyline of his game was that an Anti-Paladin was wreaking havoc across various kingdoms and we were picked to stop him.  Of course as first levels we couldn’t handle much more than a sickly goblin so we went on a bunch of side quests to level up.When we finally reached 7th level or so he finally let us face the Evil Big Guy (EBG).  He rode in on a nightmare and proceeded to kick our butts.  Everyone in the party was lying there bleeding and barely alive.  The Cleric had run out of healing spells and healing potions and was one of the ones lying on the ground.  When Vixen saw that they were all at the mercy of the EBG she decided that if she was going to die she was going out in a big way.  She crept through the tall grass (I rolled awesome stealth rolls) and she snuck up behind the Nightmare, she dipped her dagger in some poison that she had picked up during the adventure and backstabbed the Nightmare killing it (major bad dice rolls).  The DM was surprised as was everyone else and he had the EBG stand there for a second shaking his head and then teleported away. That was how she got a headband made from a Nightmare’s mane and tail.When we got high enough we finally assaulted the EBG in his fortress.  We finally beat him and his minions and found his treasure room.  While the rest of the party was diving into the gold and treasure, Vixen saw a plain old rock lying off to one side.  DM slipped me a note that said she had 3 wishes.  So being Vixen, she wished that her and all the treasure was back in her hideout.  That left the rest of the party standing in an empty room.  Needless to say there were many vowing revenge.Later on I played her in an adventure that consisted of 2 of us plus a different DM ran.  Storyline was a huge bunch of religious fanatics were pillaging the land.  The party ended up at a fortress city that the other player's character, a Ranger Lord had vowed to protect the city.  The fanatics came up to the gate and demanded the city be surrendered.  He began talking to them (awesome rolls) and almost convinced them to go away.  Vixen got bored and dipping one of her arrows in the same poison she used on the Nightmare.  She shot the high Priest/Mage of the fanatics with it and then the fight started.She fought for quite a while and finally when the fighting was about over she slipped over the wall and snuck over to the fanatics camp and robbed them blind and left.  The Ranger Lord vowed vengeance on her for causing the destruction of half his city.I have played her a few more times and finally retired her. I made up a whole back story for her.  I would love to play her again.  She was awesome.</blockquote>
