Lost for a Character Base [Archive] - Wizards Community

12-16-06, 11:47 PM I consider myself quite good at creating character backgrounds, but I'm having a horribly hard time creating a base to work up from for a character I'm creating for an upcomming Campaign.

The two character ideas are:

A Dwarf Fighter [Preferably as a Treasure/Artifact Hunter]

A Goblin Rogue [I've got abosolutely no ideas towards this one >.<]

Any help creating a base for either of these two would be wonderful.

Thanks ~

I had a third idea, but I already created his base and background. Heres a summary of it...

Exiled Shaman of the WhiteClaw Goblin Clan... Once known for its peacefull tendancies, its only Warcamps were to hide and draw potential dangers from the main village where women and children remained safe and protected. Together, for many Goblin generations, the Shaman and Chiefton guided the Clan through peacefull times... Until the Chieftan's line, that had started with a Goblin hero, ended with a murder. With no sons, a new Chiefton of another line came into power. For the many years, the Chiefton and Shaman created a balance between Tradition and Change, Peace and Defense, but the new Chiefton saw it another way. He sought to change the old ways, create warcamps to assault Caravans and Travellers, even peacefull villages. Trying to stop the violent changes, the new Chiefton exiled him to put an end to his words. Leaving the village, he swore to find a way to find a way to put an end to this new Chiefton, even if he can never be a part of the clan again.

This is just a rough, but you can get the idea from it.

You're just coming in and saying "tell me what to play"

The Campaign were playing is called Nimbus, and the world is composed of thousands of floating islands over a giant magical vortex.

There are three other characters in our party, a badly made, and badly roleplayed elf Sorcerer, a tweaked Ranger with no care for roleplaying, and a quiet Druid who disrupts the session repeatedly [With my help >.>].

Right now, were in a small town called Haven on the borders of the main country and the Wildlands. Our characters, and my old one, were made Warders by the town earlier.

Thats a basic summary... anything else I should add?
