Your Very First Character

[Zia]

Ah...back in secondary school, my first ever character was a decidedly unpleasant half-elven fellow who was almost as arrogant as his player. Decided that he could take the enemy alone when the rest of the group decided to retreat. His final fate lay somewhere on the spectrum between 'well-done' and 'crispy.' I wised up after that...though apparently I wasn't wise enough with my second character, who attracted enough ire from the party that our token drow dual-sword wielder reverted to the Dark Side and stabbed me in the back.

Haven't actually played any games yet, but I'm working on my first character as we speak!

A 6'2 fighter with the strength of an ox ... and sadly the intelligence of an ox, he'll mostly reply with grunts and other silly answers, but in battle, he'll be the fiercest warrior the world ever saw, equipped with a pair of brass knuckles, he's ready to kick some monster-ass, YEEEHAWWWW!

Truthfully I cant remember who/what my first character was... what I can remember was the whole group just not what one I played.

1 A Halfling rogue that robbed the party blind AND had them pay to get their stuff back after he "killed the thief and took it back." He was paid in IOUs.
2 A Gnome illusionist that made a town suddenly vacant by "summoning" a colossal red dragon... Ps, he was the most lawful of the group.
3 The Orc paladin... You know what I said about the gnome being the most lawful... I meant it! His "law" was "Might Makes Right."
4 An Elven Er... I mean druid...hippy that at one point reincarnated a king... as a kobold! We were run out of the kingdom.
5 A priest who was so ambiguous about what I never was sure of the things gender... I don't think this was my characterit was... Explode undead, un-explode people and create water, oh did that character love create water!

My first character was a bard who loved to play his guitar naked. Good times...Good times...

lol... my first character hmm...
My first character was a Human Cleric. I was one of the ugliest characters ever created thus with me being a cleric everyone called me 'Child Molester'. I was always the Leroy Jenkins of the group and so the rest of my party murdered me. Good times... good times...

My first character was Caemond Straker, a Thayan Knight who swore vengeance against the Red Wizard who discarded him and left him for dead. Due to the silliness of the DM, he somehow ended up declaring war on all of Thay and actually winning. Honestly though, I mainly remember that game for the amazing characters and interactions we had. I've actually taken that character, along with two others from the game, and transfered them over to our own homebrew world, as deities.

My first character was a red box set elf. My favorite adventure is still ghosts of lion castle (remember, never sleep in Sargon's bead, bad ju ju). Waiting to find interest in the isle of dread and other ones. The elf is still alive and I have the character sheet, level 4 as of a couple days ago.

Most memorable character,... I don't remember the first, it was a long time ago and my DM was an extreme believer in "the rules are more like guidelines anyway",... so that char was some kind of fighter who ended up with control of an element, I think it was the earth element. Anyway most memorable was a Fighter/Rogue which is usually the type of character I play. Well we were about lvl 9-10 and this is a solo game. I asked the dm if i could do an adventure to locate and steal a particular magic item. Well he spent about 2 weeks searching through what few books we had planning out this huge mansion with security guards and dogs bars on the windows traps you name it, We played through me scouting out the house, and I took a good look around and asked if they're where any chimneys, the place only had thin smoke pipes. So being my char and always having a knack for use magic device,.. I just go pick up a few scrolls to turn myself into a gaseous cloud, go through the pipes past the guards and dogs inside the huge safe, got what i came for and cast another one. The whole time my dm's like i shoulda known better. My prize a necklace of the Vampire...... Ohh that game got interesting.

My first RP character of any kind was a 15 year old transfer student to Hogwarts in a Harry Potter freeform RP site/forum/game. I made her two years older than me and "cool" in every way I thought was awesome.

I played in that game for about 18 months before the site shut down due to internal administrative bickering.

My first and only character for a D&D type game was a half-elf sorcerer with a homebrewed Phoenix bloodline for a Pathfinder game I'm currently playing over the summer. He ended up being the only sane man in a group consisting of a chaotic evil Cleric of Dionysus who was constantly plotting against the group, an older Inquisitor who kept picking fights, and fighter who refused to deal lethal damage and once punched a nobleman in the face. Which is really sad considering he's ended up a complete pyro (My decision to take burning hands instead of magic missile at character creation resulted in more than a few burnt down buildings, but it seemed appropriate given my bloodline.) He also ended up becoming a werewolf and formed a small community of various lycanthropes over the course of a 5 year time skip we had between sessions and has a dwarf were-bear sidekick.

My very first character - an Eladrin evocation mage. Yes, I started with 4e. It was for the offical Encounters campain that I played a while ago, that had to do with Neverwinter. That's all I really feel like telling about him.

[Treason]

My first character was the human sorcerer in 3.5. Master of prestidigitation and burning things to his advantage. Also a quite talented folk vocalist, because charisma is power. So many of the dms plans ruined with simple magic missiles and interesting usages of the burning hands spell. Didn't make it to far, the frequent and rage producing usage of prestidigitation caused many a dm rage moments. To this day I'm not allowed to mention that word in their presence.. they didn't mind the multiple accidental deaths the fires I started caused, just my ******baggery with a cantrip!

[Archaon]

My first character was Telas Haelinde, a young half-elf that dedicated himself to Pelor after his village was massacred by a Morhg. Last seen on the elemental plane of air laughing violently as the party wizard splattered several mounts into the solid clouds.

Pilgrim you win. That was AWESOME.

[loringth3great]

My first character was this halfling rouge that I spent hours on. I'm pretty sure I did about three adventures in two seperate parties with him. He never really retired I just kind of lost him after we would go for years without. He was fun though. The next thing I made was a Dwarven Warrior or as I called him "The Dwarf with the big ass axes"
