A CG elven fighter, with a +3 sword and elven chain mail. We fought wererats and trolls and did a big dungeon crawl and slaughtered goblins by the boatload.

Last time I played an elf, too.

2E, half elf fighter/thief named Shadowdancer (yeah I know), he had a big silver morning star he got from a group of ogres, scored a crit on another ogre and ripped out its spine!

Then I found a suit of elven chainmail, oh it was so cool.
 

I actually got into gaming bass ackwards. Got the Otus Red set and started DMing for anyone who was interested. I sucked. :p

First game I played in, I redid one of my favorite NPC's, Treman the Thief.

Ah the Otus-Red Set! That is still my favorite D&D boxed set! Many hours of adventure in that box before you've exhausted it's possibilities! Sucky or not, props to you for having the stones to sieze the bull by the horns and DM as a raw newbie!
 

Pre-first & First

Pre-First:

I consider this character pre-first as at the timeI had no clue as to what
we were doing. Some friends at my FLCS (friendly local comics store), which I
frequented as they were the only outlet at the time to distribute L5R cards,
asked me to sit in with this cool game. Turned out to be HKAT and I got
lucky to draft the leading role. Game soon disipated when the DM exclaimed (about 10 minutes into the first session and after me killing an anoying client at my dad's restaurant) the game was dead since I killed the one person who
could tell us what was going on.... (afterwards I found out this was an RPG and that the DM s*cked big time.)

First real Character: not realy shure, it must have been one of these 2:

a) ADnD: Ishkla Waterbirch, wood Elf rogue/wizard, together with his twin-sister lone survivors of their clan (whipe out by Zentharim). After losing his twin (climbing in a tree to evade some warhounds chasing us, and dropping to the ground... some wood elf ;-) ) he ended up looking for aid in a wizards tower. To make a long story ..... Wizards tower door open (now I know that's screems run away) no wizard to be found and a wooden dog standing
in front of a mirror seemed to be in the mirror running about when I pass on
my way out. Young wood Elf ( snottynose of barely 80 years) says "Hey cool mirror" and touches the mirror.... to this day, my friend Ishkla is stuck in that mirror (the party never found out)

b) WFRP: Reinhold Gottesfrieden, judicial champion and commander of the
Templars of the Fiery Heart, chosen of Sigmar. I played the Enemy within campaign, jumping on board just after death on the Reik to replace a player who had left the group. Currently after completing Power behind the throne,
Reinhold has retired into monastic life, studying to become a full cleric of Sigmar.

I started both campaigns at about the same time and can't realy remember which one was first...

BTW: who else is giving each of his characters his own set of dice and keeps
his old charactersheets safely stored in a binder ;-)

FWIW this is the same set that people refer to as the Moldvay rules. Tom Moldvay did the editing & Erol Otus did the cover artwork (and a good bit of the art inside).

I'm personally more visually attuned than literary.
 

T'sel, a ranger (1978, 1st Edition). He died at I think second or third level. I then played T'can his brother (I was sooooo original). T'can made it to 26th level over the course of six years. I even had him go to Hades itself to bring his brother back from he dead. I have an original pencil portrait of T'can over my desk. I am such a geek...

I miss the +1 damage per Ranger level against Giants... :)
