One day left. I have four solid character concepts and four possibles. We'll see what I get in the next 23 hours...My plan is to announce the party tomorrow, then give them a few days to interact in the Discussion tab, building some additional connections between them and their stories. I plan to kick off the first adventure Friday evening (my time in Washington D.C.)

Thanks everyone for your input so far...I'm excited to get this started!
=)

Hmmm... I'd like to get into another game..

So I'm submitting...

Fenn ‘The Jr.’ {Winter} - CG Male half-elf Ranger 1:

PERSONALITY
Fenn is a wonder, though his life has been rough and empty of any familial affection or care.. he seems to have a boundless capacity to care for those around him! He is NOTHING like his father Fenn ‘The Sr.’! Fenn Jr. is polite, helpful, courageous and kind …always willing to help those in need. He has a ‘country-gentleman’s’ sense of chivalry and honor when it comes to young women and is ever ready to defend a woman’s honor - though he is very shy around very pretty women. He is not much on being dutiful to chores… BUT, will without being asked, chop a whole stack of wood for a widow in need! In his home town of “Little Tree”, he is something of a local hero handy-man. Not much on chores but always willing to help when the need is great. He seen part as a lackadaisical lout and just as much as a golden-hearted paragon protector of the farmers in and around ‘Little Tree”. Fenn doesn’t have a hateful thought in his heart to anyone… but he don’t hold well with the unquiet dead.. and he puts such unfortunate monstrosities down with a fiery zeal!

Fenn has started to range far and wide from his home town… a growing wanderlust in his heart. Most in “Little Tree” don’t think it will be long before Fenn takes to the road to see the world… and will miss the young local hero when it does happen. Fenn himself has only stayed as he doesn’t want to leave the town without his occasional help.

If there is one person who would be Fenn’s enemy it his father Fenn ‘The Sr. Fortunately for Fenn his father is rarely around ususlly hatch some hurtful ‘get-rich’ scheme or another. Fenn Sr. is a drunkard and violent man… who takes great relish in demeaning Fenn at every possible turn. Fenn Sr. has never revealed who Fenn Jrs. Mother is or why he even bothered to bring him as a toddler back to be mostly raised by his grandmother, Marilyn – before consumption took her life as well. But when Fenn Sr. is around brutal beatings and cruel intentions are all Fenn {Winter} has learned to expect from his ‘Pap’ - as he calls him.
But Fenn refuses to fight or hurt his ‘Pap’... he IS his father after all!

But despite his brutal and abusive father Fenn never lets it get him down. He is fond of saying, “… Ah’m sure somewhere tha’ is someone whose got it worse than meh! At least-wise Ah’m free to roam were Ah will under tha’ bright sun… and smoke a pipe or two on occasion’! Ah ain’t got it so bad!”

APPEARANCE
HT: 6'0", WT: 116lbs, Eyes: Green
Hair: Sandy Brown
Skin: Lightly Tanned, Nose and cheeks lightly freckled

Fenn is a handsome rustic youth. His elven heritage is subdued as his ears almost look normal compared to humans… however his pale green eyes reveal his extra-human heritage. His sandy blonde hair is just a little too long… and almost always unkempt and left to hang loose. The bridge of his nose and cheeks are still lightly frosted with freckles. He has a rather pronounced country dral to his speech.

Fenn dresses in simple woodsman clothing with no fanciness. All his clothing is just simple serviceable in shades of brown and grey. Grey chemise and workman’s vest, leather trousers and buckskin boots, thick leather belt and wool travel cloak.

His weapons and armor he made himself through trial and error working in the forge… they are plan and unadorned …perhaps a little crude but certainly solidly crafted and maintained with keen edge and cleaned regularly. All are carried in roughly made leather sheaths or scabbards.

To all outward appearances he is merely a peasant yeoman with serviceable if crudely made gear… a country boy. Occasionally, Fenn likes to smoke his simple cornstalk pipe with its long handle.

HISTORY
”The Good Son”
Fenn 'The Jr' "Winters" was nothing but Special! He was the bastard son of a pretty unsavory woodsman and nare-do-well thuggish man named Finnagin 'Stonesson' called 'Fenn' for short. Fenn 'The Jr's' mother was never named by Fenn 'The Sr.' As further insult and disregard for his son he gave him the surname of "Winter" the season he was born. A grave insult as it was traditional to name bastard children with no family of their own after the season they were born in. Fenn 'The Sr.' was known to be a mean unfriendly cheating sort involved in all sort of criminal activity. Fenn 'The Sr's father, Stonnard, went off to serve in the militia and was killed by a bandit's arrow leaving his sickly wife, Marilyn, to raise Fenn on her own - already a rebellious sort, until consumption took her life when Fenn hit age 16. Fenn 'The Sr.' just went from bad to worse from then on.

However, Fenn 'The Jr.' was his complete opposite, kind, considerate and loyal if a bit lackadaisical when it came to doing chores or serious work. In that, Fenn 'The Jr' was amazing; because despite how much his father abused, bullied, and beat him the boy grew up strong and courageous. One of those rare people with a heart of gold! A true hero!

I'd made him for a general homebrew once played him well but the DM just kinda dried up and vanished. So Fenn's generic hometown of 'Little Tree' could just as easily be Daggerford.

To Note.. I am attending GENCON this week so my posting may be a bit sporadic if I'm chosen at all for the game.... here is a sample of Fenn's RP...

Fenn smiles a little shyly, "Well... ta tell ya tru' ma'am.. not much to tell. I got no brothers nor sisters.. well as far as I got a'knowing of. 'Pap' ain't bothere'd none to mention um. Same goes for ma mum.. no idea who she is or was.. but I think she may be dead. Ma Gran' mum raised me mostly... well until she' died some years back. I pretty much got on by ma-self... paps not round much and thas' a good thing to ... ! He kinda gets in his cups see, and is a mean drunk.. then again.. he's mean mos' times. Anyways, Ah'm, from tha' town o' 'Little Tree' to the east o' here. I'm sort of o' tha town's 'handy man' an hunts man. I got good wood-sense and can track an' hunt with tha best, Ma'am! I kin find ya yur path in the Wilds and keep ya fed when rations get low. Ah'm a fair hand at the forge ..made all my weapons and armor maself! Pertty much Ah've taught mayself all I know.. even though I ain't had no scholin'. I can fight, track, an not lead ya wrong where'ever ya need ta go. So' I got tired o' being pap's punching bag when he was in his meaness fierce-like... an I always wanted ta see the world... plus it was getting harder ta dodge people shuvin' chores at me. I figured - 'why not make a name fur maself out in the big world as an adventurer?'"

The young man before you is dressed in crude but serviceable gear armor and weapons.. all of them solidly built but crudely crafted as if by the hand of a apprentice. But none of his gear is faulty and has the road grime of regular use but constant care. The lad himself must still be in his teens from the light frosting of freckles on his cheeks and nose... giving him a handsome weather beaten look.. with a slowly forming lines of a healthy strongly built young man. He is tall 6' ft at least and he carries himself with the demeanor of a if not experienced hand at least a well familiarity with woodsman and tracker skills.. there is a confidence in his pretty... green eyes and easy smile that are just contagious! He will be a real lady charmer...

And this interchange...

Fenn turns his head to see Brom fall and immediately moves to assist him.. only to find.. he was already gone..

"Awe hell Brom.. man.. why .. why didn't you. say somethin'?!? We coul~... we could have... done... somethin'~"

The young half-elf is obviously distressed.. close to tears.

He closes the warrior's eyes and whispers, 'Until All are One.. Rest well.. '

Fenn folds Brom's hands over his chest and rests his sword on his breast in his hands.

Standing he stalks over to the Hobgoblin and the Bugbear.. his visage a scowl of hot anger... his shortsword in hand.

"Yaw just kilt' a decent man.. an Ah'm loosing mah patience.. and mah sense o' mercy! Talk! Or Ah'm gonna see how many parts you like loosing before you do talk! BUT YOU WILL TALK or you WILL SCREAM.. yur' choice!!!!"

Zabela wrote:

Zabela is mildly disheartened by the falling of their friend, but this feeling is quickly overpowered by her surprise at Fenn's outburst. It seems half-breeds are much closer to humans than elves...

She rushes over to him and holds him back as well as she can by his shoulders. Failing miserably, she whispers in his ear "Fenn, you'll never get anything true out of anyone with that attitude. If they know nothing, they'll send us on a wild goose chase just to keep from getting hurt."

She tries her hand, speaking to Bugbear in a calm, yet stern voice, "Master Goblin, what do you have to gain from keeping information about..." She stops, leans to Fenn, and whispers, "What are we questioning him about again?"

Fenn 'The Jr' {Winter} wrote:

Fenn Grimaces, "Yur right.. milady. They'd probably lie anyways! One of the Goblins we talked too before told us their leader was someone called 'Goot'.. not seen him yet.. but I'm not sure one o' these two ain't him! but the Goblin seemed to say he was a human.. not seen any humans here yet."

Fenn sheaths his sword, "...I .. just don't like loosing comrades... but tha' was as much Brom's fault as their's... he was a stubborn cuss. Nevah got to know him any bettah either... nor will I apparently. He was not much older than me.. such a shame and a waste really!"

"But yur right Miss Bela'... wer're suppos' ta be betah than these murderers...! Ah'm sorry I lost mah temper.. not a seemly thing ta do. We're takin' them both back to New Wesel ta face human justice.. then ta blazes with them both!"

Fenn glances at the soft elven woman holding his arm... and quickly a crimson shade of blush blossoms on his face and slightly pointed ears... making the light frosting of freckles on his nose and cheeks accentuate just how young.. and cute he really is.

"Ah'm.. we'd best search tha' basement and finish up here ma'am.. Bela."

His country gentlemanly ways and chivalrous attitude toward women folk cause him to lower his eyes shyly... he even trembles a little at her gentle touch.

Turning and stepping toward the basement... Fenn lights a torch.. mostly to give his hands something to do and his thoughts away from wondering how soft the rest of the lovely elven woman beside him might be...

Drawing his longsword this time torch int he other.. he makes his way down the stairs, "Come'on.. let's do this... so we can get home to a decent meal!"

Fenn heads down into the basement... wary for danger... hopefully there are no more traps... the thought occurring to him he pauses.

Calling back, "Hey, Bringor.. these ruffians is fond o' traps.. you wanna search on point down here?"


Opps sorry.. post expired.. he's actually Neutral Good... and here is my eventual build...

{future plans} – Ranger 11 / Wizard [Elementalist-Fire] 1 / Arcane Archer 8

EDIT: Just found your character creation rules..lol. Seems I'm a little short on stat points.. Fenn is built on 15pts and I have not chosen my two skills that get the bonus ranks.

I think storywise Fenn is a new arrival in the 'big-city' of Daggerford... fresh from the farming hamlet of 'Little Tree' ~ one days walk to the southwest.

...I'll hold off making any adjustments to his build until I know if I'm selected. There are sooo many other good character submissions {shrug}! :)
