Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind. 5 is just a minimum...more elements are encouraged!

1) Leiara is a jungle druid / ranger. Born and raised in a continent and climate similar to the Mwangi jungle, she is one of the few half-elves of the elf tribes that actually lived in these hot rainy forests. She is close to dinosaurs and other jungle animals as a result of her wild upbringing (or lack of it).

2) Leiara is tall and pretty, in a cruel sort of way. Like an evil queen should, her most prominent feature is probably her winged eyebrows that just lend her whole face an air of … mean-ness that’s easy to spot a mile away. With straight, jet-black hair and bright green eyes that blaze in her porcelain white skin, she simply does not fit in anywhere. Not with elves, for all her ears are very exaggerated for a half-blood, for she is too short and has more of a sturdy human frame than the frail elven one. Not with humans, either, since she has that unearthly perfect skin and eerily colored eyes. Not in the jungle, as she is too pale and delicate looking compared to the generally dark skinned inhabitants of the Mwangi expanse. And certainly not in a city, as she wears armor made of wood decorated with curling vines of gold paint. The rest of her armor appears to be made of various saw-edged jungle plants. She’s never wearing shoes. All in all, though she is beautiful, there is something simply off about her.

3) Leiara is dumb as a post. She has decided that the world needs to be returned to a green state. Her nature as a druid makes her feel destruction to the environment very keenly, though she probably couldn’t explain why. While that might make her good, in a general sense, she takes it to a frightening extreme, using the higher level druid spells to level towns and grow forests (or that’s the plan when she gets them anyway). Humanoids have never treated the half-elf well, so she’d just as well see Golarion rid of them all. Stupid as she is, that seems like an excellent idea to her, though to be honest she’s not really intelligent enough to pull it off. So she’s content to loiter in her jungle, randomly smiting any unlucky adventurers into it, and playing with the dinosaurs. As far as she’s concerned, her ‘kingdom’ is perfect the way it is. Wild and untouched, where the laws of the wild are the laws of the land. Leiara sees herself as nature’s voice (and arm. And teeth. And any other part that occurs to her at the time.) And nature … she’s a b*%%#.

4) Leiara’s animal companion is a large Tyrannosaurus named Zoom The Fourth. He is Zoom The Fourth because there were three other Zooms before him. She didn’t kill them, though her various ‘adventures’ did get them killed. Leiara flies into a rage if anyone asks her about them, though again, she probably couldn’t tell you why. Somewhere in her black little heart she feels bad about their deaths, probably the only thing she would ever have an attack of conscience over.

Zoom I (Leopard) – Died fighting a Tyrannosaurus when Leiara happened to choose one’s lair for a place to build her ‘palace’.

Zoom II (Raptor) – After the incident with Zoom I, Leiara took somewhat of a fancy to the dinosaurs that she had found in her realm. She couldn’t corner another Tyrannosaurus or get one to obey her yet, so she called a smaller version. Died while breaking into one of the old ruins in her ‘Kingdom’ – she tried to stuff it down an ancient chimney to get it inside and it suffocated.

Zoom III (Tyrannosaurus) – Her first Tyrannosaurus! Leiara had this one for a while. It was killed by a giant vorpal parrot because Leiara wouldn’t play guessing games with it (She knew she’d lose).

There must have been animal companions before these … Leiara tends to go through them like tissue paper. It makes her very grumpy, but she puts them in dangerous situations out of sheer stupidity. Her current plan is to buy gear for Zoom IV so it doesn’t die. The absurdity of a dinosaur wearing a cape (or hat) has not occurred to her.

5) Leiara allows a few odd humans to loiter in her domain, but they don’t tend to stay for long, particularly because any cutting down of trees, hunting of animals, or building of fires results in death by Tyrannosaurus. Or other stupid but evil punishments. (Murder house?) Leiara has a tendency to make up games that only make sense to her.

Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.

1) Leiara wants to gear up Zoom IV so he won’t die. She’ll do this at the expense of her gear. Stupid.

2) Leiara wants to grow more forests. She doesn’t much care where. She’d probably try to grow one in a desert. Stupid.

3) Personally I want to see some of the more clever characters trick or convince Leiara into helping them, just to see her try to do things in her simplistic, over-kill kind of way. Don’t ask the druid for help! She’ll do something crazy! And stupid!

Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet.

1) There are some interesting old ruins in her Kingdom, as yet undiscovered by the rest of the world. Leiara would prefer them stay that way, lest Pathfinders and other obnoxious sorts come to poke around. Its part of the reason she guards her domain so fiercely from meddlers.

2) Some of the elves back home remember her. If she gets too famous, they might send some adventurers to ‘take care of her’ out of guilt for creating such a monster.

Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile.

1. Leiara has one (1) druid friend, a fellow NE crusader for forest’s rights. He is a full elf, the only one that Leiara trusts or at least doesn’t hate on sight. His name is Aradel. She maybe has a little crush on him. It annoys her. But he’s a wandering sort, so doesn’t show up often.

2. Does Zoom count? Leiara really doesn’t have many friends…

3. Ah, the list. The main ones would be the elves she hates from her mistreatment when she was a child from that old jungle tribe. She’s forgotten their names and they’ve almost forgotten her … but should that hatred spring up again, it would be fierce. There may also be people she’s chased out of her domain, starving tribes of natives that want to eat the bounty of animals on her land … you name it, they probably hate her.

Step 5: Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.

1. The bear thing is just because Leiara likes bears. She saw some once in a circus. They don’t survive well in a jungle though, as she found out the hard way when she tried to import them.

2. Leiara gets bored easily, and will make up games to entertain herself. Her games usually involve challenges (against herself or others) involving her skills specifically so if she were playing against an opponent she’d always win. She’s too dumb to rig it in any way that isn’t completely transparent.

3. Once Leiara gets an idea in her head, its stuck there. And she will pursue it doggedly to whatever end, regardless of any change in circumstances or plans.
