He's self-assured, calm in the face of danger, and slow to anger. He tries to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. When it comes right down to it, he's not just in it for his own skin, and is willing to make sacrifices for the greater good. He may seldom laugh uproariously, but he's quick to grin at even a fairly bad joke. Most of the time, he's the leader of the group, if not the face-man or the one who comes up with complicated plans. He's also stubborn, prone to speaking too frankly, and tends to take tasks by himself even when he has friends to help.He's always got at least 12 intelligence, and no less than 12 wisdom, and he always seems to have some idea about the 'big picture'. He usually has a fair amount of skill in combat, but not to the point that he makes sacrifices in his other abilities. In fantasy settings, he favors swords, spears, and bows, and in more modern settings he favors heavy pistols, assault rifles, and shotguns.Physically, he's always been in the 6'4" to 6'6" range, and somewhere between lanky and burly, depending on his strength and con. He's had long hair and at least stubble (more often an actual beard) every time, and usually has red hair, but some variations have had dark brown hair. His eyes are usually bluish grey.Everything else varies too much from character to character to make any generalizations about. For example, I've used all of the following names...Galethorn (ranger), Eolan (barbarian), Beowyc (fighter), Jack (student, pirate captain ('Iron Jack Eadie'), etc.), Jorran (Jedi), Kor-Gon (Jedi), Galloran (Soldier), and a few others I can't recall.</blockquote>
