I was planning on making a rogue 29/ void incarnate 11 neutral evil human. Actually, I wanted to create a confused assassin type character who adventures with the other characters for his own rewards. I don't really have the time to write about what I wanted his history to be like, but what I have write now really sucks. All I know is that I want him to be self-sufficient, confident of his own abilities, merciless, cold hearted, and sort of after adventuring with the party he gets some emotions. I want him to have a typical dark, lonely past, maybe on the streets of Calimport. I know exactly what his personality is like, I just don't know how to go about creating a good background or story of redemption. All help will be appreciated.

P.S. The reason assassin class isn't included in my plan is because of the crappy Skill bonus. I can be a bit of a powergamer sometimes.:rolleyes:

:eek: Meine Guete that's high... level 40.

Okay... a few points/questions.

Firstly, I've no idea what a "void incarnate" is (although I'm really tempted to suggest that that isn't in the standard, and that "incarnate" can only be a "pointer to void" - programming joke, sorry). However, it is clear that it is a Prestige Class, so there must be some background material there upon which you can draw.

Secondly, despite what you say, your writing style is quite good. Just rearrange it a bit, and you'll have a character concept! For example:

"<Name> is a self-sufficient human. He is merciless, cold-hearted and evil. He has that typical, dark, lonely past on the streets of Calimport, and the fact that he is still alive can only be attributed to his confidence in his own abilities. ..."

... and so on.

Just take it from there. Describe his personality. Write a "day-in-the-life". Write how he would react to a certain situation.

Remember, the character history is to provide others with a way to engage with your character. All you need to do, is to convey the mood, and the others will role-play to accommodate it.
