03-02-08, 01:31 PM Royinator "Tempest" Takeshi
Human Warblade/Kensai/Exotic Weapon Master
he wears a mithral breastplate and fights w/ a bastard sword/katana w/ uncanny blow

he belonged to a tribe of nomads, which was attacked by a black dragon. everyone except him and his sister, a high-level druid named Johanna of the Wind, died. the pair escaped on Johanna's huge magical flying fan, when the dragon caught up to them. She sacrificed herself fighting the dragon to save Roy, and he ended all alone in a city. there he gets money fighting in the gladiatorial business.

umm... that's all i got. suggestions? comments?

03-02-08, 05:38 PM That is one determined dragon. How come your character could hide from it?

Was there culture shock when encountering the city?

How are gladiators treated? Is he resentful of his masters? Does he hate the audience for rejoicing in a blood bath? Or does he give in, hardening his heart, to the point where he can tolerate what he does to survive?

3) He's desensitized

03-03-08, 07:11 PM How does he react to people currently, then?

And what happened to Johanna? Killed by/killed the dragon sort of business? Or did she run off with her brother, but left him once he became desensitized by the violence of the ring, the only way he could get money?

If she used a magic item instead of a spell, then she might have been able to kill it and then have trouble supporting herself and her brother, but just a suggestion.

03-03-08, 08:12 PM The dragon could have held the family to some sort of oath, which they then broke (maybe his grandfather or something like that) after which it started butchering the entire bloodline. Unfortunatly that pesky (but tasty) Druid mannaged to wound the Dragon pretty badly, so now he's waiting in his cave, licking his wounds, waiting to kill the oathbreaker. Even though it might be higher level, depending on wether you will actually be working for the dragon, or trying to kill it. Don't rob your DM of such a Juicy plot :P
