What kind of character are you planning on making?

[volund]

I know there is already a topic dealing with race and character class, but I'd like to start something a little more in depth than that. This is a true roleplaying game (I feverishly hope), so I'd like to see people's character descriptions, based on what they know about this game and its lore so far. Here is an example template (my character thus far, actually):

Name: (Not yet known)
Race: Human - Old Blood
Classes: Warrior/Gearknight
Faction: Gearsmiths
Preferred Weapon: A big, two head axe
Body Type: Tall, gaunt, pale - almost sickly.
Facial Features: Slicked back hair, black/brown. Handlebar mustache.
Fashion: A dark blue suit, white gloves. Golden embroidery. An eyepatch over left eye.
Personality: A perfect gentleman. Slightly eccentric, but passionate. Imperialist attitude.
Background: Unknown thus far. I'll update it after I learn more of the lore of Hero's Journey, especially the Gearsmiths.

 

[Aries]

I was actually thinking of starting such a post myself.

Name: Aries
Race: Suwari - Feral
Classes: Bard/Warrior
Faction: Nature
Preferred Weapon: One handed fencing sword
Body Type: Medium Height, Slender, Athletic, Nimble
Facial Features: Short brownish fur, Grayish-Green eyes, always smirking.
Fashion: Leather armor, Banjo hung over shoulder, Rapier sheathed ready for a fight.
Personality: Cunning and witty, always ready for a fight and always plucking away at his banjo.
Background: Raised in the wild, found his way into a musicians shop and hasn't left since.

 

[frostydf2]

Name: Frosty or Maseth
Sex: Always a female! I am male though
Race: Suwari - Feral
Classes: Healer/Cleric or Wizard/Necromancer
Faction: Arcanum
Preferred Weapon: One handed Broad Sword, or a Staff
Body Type: Small Height, Athletic
Facial Features: Short blonde fur, blue eyes.
Fashion: Heavy plate armor
Personality: Always the one to make everyone laugh. You never know if she is sarcastic or not, but when that bolt of fire comes at you; you know its seroius.
Background: WasN'T abandoned at birth, was raised by wizard parents.

 

[Volfie]

Tough choice as there can be some very interesting combinations. I am leaning toward.

Name: She will have to tell me once she's created.
Race: Domesticate
Class: Rogue/Necro
Faction: Arcanum
Preferred weapon: Pair of daggers or perhaps a cudgel.
Body Type: Small, Wirey
Facial Features: thin, intense
Fashion: dark colors. mostly cloth, cape.
Personality: Basically good but early survival traits always vie for self interest and self preservation. Quiet. If you piss her off you will likely get a knife in the back without a word at the 1st opportunity.
Background: Fell in early with necros for survival on the streets. Unknown parentage. Influenced strongly by affable Bard/Rogue who helped her envision a different way to live.

I wonder if this is why I end up soloing alot
