I recently started a new campaign and am playing a Half Ogre Cleric. I was wanting to make him odd....but not distracting. One major aspect of the characer is that he thinks he is a gnome. He was raised as gnomish royalty (which caused political intrigue...many nobles did not want him reaching the throne....) I'm thinking maybe it had something to do with a war. Either the original prince was killed and "I" was adopted (found in the battlefields), or as a peace treaty...(kinda cliche) each king traded their firstborn son to each other. And possibly the kind in fear for his child's life sent him to a gnomish monastery to free him from persecution. Now he is adventuring to spread the word of the great gnome gods and trying to prove that he is a gnome to the gnomes in his land so he may one day fulfill his role as their king.

As far as personality: I was going to make him alot like a gnome: inquisitive, squirrely, brash, curious, hyper

Now i just need a couple more quirks (just a couple that won't distract from the game): I'm thinking things like he loves dancing (even though he's not very good at it), maybe he has a weird phobia? (scared of his own feet.......)

What I'm asking for: need help filling in holes in background, personality concepts, quirks.

From the descritpion you gave, i picture as a good hearted brute.

For his pho bia, that'd be cool if he was scared of smaller creature (kobolds,goblins,sprites...) but not of the taller ones (giants,dragons...)
As for him spreading the word about the gnome deities, wich deity does he follow?
