Kelric Rift

[Revil]

RACE: Drow
AGE: 127
DEITY:Helm
ALIGNMENT: Lawful Neutral
BACKROUND FEATS: Devout
CLASS: Fighter/Divine Champion

BACKROUND:
Found severely injured by the bodies of two other Drow, who were presumably his parents, Kelric was raised by the priests of helm in Sundren. Kelric took great pride in training himself to be an excellent fighter and also dedicating himself to the teachings of Helm. Though considered young by elven standards, he is quite old when compared to the human lifespan and this has allowed him to train not only his body but his mind. Not always accepted by his peers because of his heritage Kelric has become accustom to prejudice has learned not to let it get to him for the most part. Although this has made him wary of most other people. He is slow to trust others and has few friends.

Nice choice . My character in the campaign is a Paladin/Divine Champ of Helm.

[TheId]

Under normal circumstances, a drow paladin would be silly. You've chosen a good diety to make it realistic. Helm has a soft side for children, even if they're drow.

[CartSnyden]

That sounds like an interesting character. Probably some stories from that one.

[Rainrix]

All I can say is...

Divine Champion + Tiefling = Trouble

It's funny how no matter how unbelievable this character is... it's also believable. Guess he has a little trouble with Paladins or other Divine Champions though?

[Dragoncleric]

Doesn't sound like Drow 'abandon' thier children mate. Either sacrificed, discarded, or left for dead during raids on their places etc. These are the same people who kill siblings and parents/children with no second thought.

I'd come up with a different background then that. Perhaps those priests of helm found the child when scouting out the underdark? (It's Helms wish to see the child no harm in return for any killings that may have happened?)

My two copper anyways.

For the record abandon and discard have very similar meanings. I think I'm going to go with his parents were founds dead in the woods, while he was injured but alive, giving him a scar accross his chest.

Just a bit of constructive criticism but that scenairo has been done 100 times over.

[Revil]

Well, I'm not a terribly creative person, so I think I'll just leave it. Its only a backround anyway, and how he got there isn't really the most important part.

[VFoxcraft]

On the contrary, I consider a character's background to be the most important part. Without one the rp of said character is very much misguided and random at times and eventually dwindles down to nothing but hack and slash. Furthermore, if a character starts with a weak, or generic background they have few to no goals in their playable lives making them boring for the player towards the higher levels as they have nothing worthwhile to rp proactively. Instead the player ends up waiting for things to happen so that they can react. It is always better to be able to generate rp yourself if there's none to be found, after all.

Kelic Rift(New and Improved)

Alright taking comments and criticisms in mind I have created I new backround which I feel is much better overall. So fire away.

BACKROUND:
Kelric's parents were part of a small surface dwelling colony of Eilistraee worshiping drow that was decimated by their underdark counterparts. Narrowly escaping execution his parents fled with him to the developing land of Sundren. Deciding that he was slowing them down, his parents left him with the priests of Helm in the city of Sundren. Kelric took great pride in training himself to be an excellent fighter and also dedicating himself to the teachings of Helm. Though considered young by elven standards, he is quite old when compared to the human lifespan and this has allowed him to train not only his body but his mind. Not always accepted by his peers because of his heritage Kelric has become accustom to prejudice has learned not to let it get to him for the most part. Although this has made him wary of most other people and slow to trust others, making him few friends. With only faint memories of his parents and what little the preists of Helm knew, Kelric seeks any information he can about other drow sighted in the area convinced that his parents may still be alive and within the relm of Sundren.
