Thanks KN
I think I will have fun with this type of game. Yes, I know I never know what will happen.
There is something that I thought about in the last adventure: when the stump fell into the hole, what happened to it?
I know it fell into the hole as part of the cave in making the sink type hole. Did it fall straight down and is the the middle of the hole? Was the wood in the stump so old that is fell apart when it hit the bottom? Is it even useful now that is down there? Was it the way of magic lift that was used later on?
Oh, keeping me in the dark… nice one KN. I shall ask such questions when the time comes..if it does that is..
*laugh* I know. My character is somewhat uneducated as far as the game goes. She will get there soon enough, I'm sure. I also hope that she will end up being a needed part of the group.
I wasn't sure how detailed to be with this so I'll see what feedback I get.
Sex: Male
Age: 42
Race: I wouldn't mind playing a Dwarf, Human or Orc because I'm 6' tall and fairly stocky (260 lbs)
Class:? ?
Strength 15 - I don't lift weights, but my friends always call me to lift the heavy stuff on Moving Day.
Dexterity 12 - My size and age should start to affect me more here, but I'm still quick and can still kick over my head.
CON 14 - My Endurance has gone down a bit, but I can eat pretty much anything, rarely get sick and can take a beating.
INT 12 - I know how to look things up and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge researching characters for games.
Wisdom 12 - What defines wisdom really? I've helped many women with relationship advice and am very attentive.
Charisma 14 - I'm still decent looking, people listen when I talk and often take an active leadership role if one is needed.
Stat overview, as you will see, I've lived a long life, have done many things and am still very active.
Religion - I've been catholic and Jewish due to my dad converting us when marrying his second wife, while I wouldn't count myself as devout, I have taken away a strong sense of morality from my upbringing.
Early Life - Can't remember a lot of it, but I know there's a lot of Trauma that caused me to not want to remember the details. I know there were good times, but they were overshadowed by the constant reminders of the bad times by how my sister was scarred by them and still can't get over them.
School - I didn't realize I started school early until later on when I got to High School and I was one of the smaller kids there. Most of my life I was a chunky kid starting around age eight. When I turned fifteen in my junior year at an all boy's catholic school I finally had my growth spurt while working a summer job. I slimmed out, got taller and girls started talking to me. Scholastically being in school early didn't help me out. I was good at Math because it was always constant, but bad at English, I failed keyboarding five times because I couldn't remember the keys. I didn't do homework because no one was home to make me do it but always scored well on tests. When I went to college not knowing how to type really stifled me and I couldn't afford to go back so I joined the military to pay for it.
Military - I was not the model soldier but the physical programs made me lean, strong and quick. It really wasn't until I joined the military and they taught me a different way of thinking that my memory started to come around. They focused on knowing where to find things when you needed them, not rote learning.
Gaming - As described in my background, I've always had a gift for tactics, and as my memory got better in my mid 20's, so did my ability to express myself. AOL taught me how to type and with the expansion of the internet, my online gaming and LARP experiences definitely shaped my ability to improvise and take charge as I become more knowledgeable.
Jobs - I've worked pretty much my whole life. I collected milk money in the cafeteria in the first grade, worked every year of school, serving, dishes, janitorial to help pay for tuition, even the college I joined had a mandatory work program, something I was looking for in the school I was to attend. All in all I have 12 years of experience cooking and working in kitchens, 4 years of janitorial, 11 years in the military, and 17 years of customer service in a fortune 500 company doing transportation because I was in between jobs and my sister convinced me to work where she used to work. I really didn't like working there, but the pay and benefits were good which allowed me to go back to cooking for these last 2 year without worrying about how much I'm making.
Marriage, I've recently gotten married to a woman that is definitely smarter than me, I would liken her to a halfling or gnome. Small, petite, smart, loves the idea of being a rogue, but doesn't have the alignment to go through with it. We've both taken new jobs that have really made a difference. Before, we would always go for the cheapest things possible just to make sure we could save more money, but now we can indulge a little.
Views on life, I've learned things aren't worth obsessing over. I've gotten over many a bad patch in both love and friendships and ever since my first days in the military, I've learned that I am very defensive about things and am always trying to be consciously aware of that so I can back off a bit.
Since I've already written so much, I'll just stop here and see what kind of feedback I get *smile*.
