His brother killed his family but valric escaped. Running way he was caught and put into slavery his memory erased buy magic he served as guard to the very wizard that corrupted his brother. Then one day the wizard was found him self under attack. The empre was trying to capture him the head solder used a scroll found to bring back his memroy. The head solders was an elf ranger named mordread. Valric told him his story and mordread, hating the empire agreed to help valric in his quest if valric help him fight in the war. So the deal was made and they soon became close friends. This is all i got so far and ideas will be thanked

Here are some ideas that come to mind when reading your tale: - Valric may be a little suspicious of magic, but depending on his Int and Wis scores, he may be smart enough to realise that not all spellcasters are like Zanzer. However, due to his particular experience with magic (having his memory wiped and then returned to him) he may be afraid of mind-affecting spells. He may fear having his mind affected by magic, or it may just make him furious. This could include telepathy, charms, even bardic music. - Because he is close friends with Mordread, Valric may have a high opinion of elves (or at least higher than your average dwarf). He may speak fondly of Mordread from time to time, and/or compare other warriors to the standard set by his elven friend. - Because Valric was essentially a victim for a long time, he probably doesn't like to talk about the whole experience. If his past comes up, he might change the subject, or simply get angry and upset. - Since his brother basicly betrayed him and his family, Valric may have difficulty making strong friendships with new people. That doesn't mean he isn't polite, but it may take a while before he truly trusts others in his adventuring party. He may not even be aware of the walls he puts up around himself. - In addition to these psychological traits, try to pick out a few minor traits that will help bring the character to life. Maybe he's allergic to cheese, likes to smoke a pipe and is generous or stingy with his money. Perhaps he cracks his fingers when he's nervous, or finds himself getting songs stuck in his head, much to his irritation (and the irritation of those around him when he subconciously starts humming a tune he heard in the last tavern). ~Ginger

Sir Gimp 05-29-05, 10:58 PM	it looks like you've got some good but kinda rough ideas (im assumeing that you havent rped much) so as you roleplay and read more you may want to refine them but so far pretty cool..on a side note maby valric (because of his close connection with the elves could be a type of ammbassator and because of this he isnt as "trusted" in the dwarven community..just some ideas
