Message: <blockquote data-quote="Majoru Oakheart" data-source="post: 4932575" data-attributes="member: 5143">The character that my forum name is named after, Majoru Oakheart was a half-elf.  I don't think his heritage ever really came up the whole time I played him.  He was always played as kind of a loner, with a taste for excitement, taking drastic risks, and adventuring.  He was known for extreme luck that kept him alive no matter what odds he faced, his ability to disarm traps, his really good AC, and his constant downplaying of the fact that he was a Thief(he was a Fighter/Thief in 2e).He constantly referred to himself as a "Treasure Hunter and Adventurer" in order to explain his Thief abilities.  When the truth of the matter was that his human father left when he was really young, then he was kicked out of his elven community when he was caught stealing and was forced to survive on his own in the middle of human communities.Now, what personality traits should I have played up while in a group in order to reinforce his half-elven heritage?  The focus of our adventures was always on what was happening at the time.  Either we needed to go into the Underdark to defeat the Drow since they were making raids against the surface or we decided to recover an artifact for some rich benefactor.  The fact that I was a half-elf never really came up.  We were more concerned about my ability to disarm traps before they cut the other party members in half and my ability to fight well enough to kill the monsters.</blockquote>
