Fearless 8. Stupid 9. Scholarly 10. Team player 11. Doesn't like children 12. Mourns a dead relative 13. Obessive 14. Notorious drunk 15. Compulsive liar 16. Paranoid 17. Schizophrenia 18. Sadist/Masochist 19. Eats parts of his fallen enemies, believing it to give him strength 20. Always hear his enemies cries for help and let them go with their lives, even when it has earlier proved a mistake. EDIT: Try this page: http://www.roleplayingtips.com/readissue.php?number=126

If he's got a few levels, it just means he's had a bit more experience which in my opinion just makes it easier. (Hard to rationalize a 1st level captain of the guard) If he's a sniper, then maybe some time was spent as an archer for a group of bandits or if you want him to be fairly good (not a good idea :D ) then maybe have him be a part of hunters that worked for some noble person to flush out game so they could hunt easier. I'd just make him be from some sort of assassin gang and his job was to pick off the straglers.

Now. since youve missed a few sessions use this as an excuse to make an uber char. Find out why he is uber. Think of how you would have turned out if you had lived lifein his shoes. This should be easy because it's my exp. that players subconciously (I know i slaughtered it :) ) model there chars. after them selves. Do this and i'll promise you that you'll have a good character and one that is fun to Role play. Good gaming :D

He also has a fear of cold dark places.....like......Dungeons....lol this should be good THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT ADVICE
