deacon threw out the idea of a mix of a class for his character which comes to life through well thought out roleplay. Now, I went ahead and said lets do it because it's always fun to throw in a personalization of a character and really make him (or her) your own.
SO! What I propose here in this thread, is that if so desired each person may present his idea for a small (or large) twist on his character that would come to pass throughout the story and some RP action.
I love to have villans and NPCs in the background of people's lives, making an actual change. One of my longest running games (Gods War) had one character who had been turned into a quazi-vampire, reaping benefits and adding wonderful flavour to the overall story. We never finished that game, but it sure was fun for me to come up with a way for that to happen. This is Dungeons and Dragons! We don't have to settle for the mundane and typical!!! We can do whatever our minds and imaginations can come up with. I firmly believe in the power to think and to come up with many many ideas. I love to think. So hit me with some of your thought out ideas and we'll work from there. I don't say no.
So, if this really doesn't interest you then game on! You'll just get some cool items.
ciao.
