I'd be interested - I love the WFRP world and played the original version extensively. I have the 2nd edition books (rules and RoS). I just want to make sure you're talking about the Black Library version (~2001) and not the new box game that just came out...
@nomadicc, yes, we're playing second edition.
Excellent!

looks good Alex.
any particular reason why an initiate of Ulric would be venturing out to Altdorf, the center of Sigmar's faith?
On that point, have the events of the Ashes of Middenheim/Spires of Altdorf book come to pass in your game? I haven't settled on Ulric yet as a god anyway, just wanted to get the stats down so i could make the bio
Then i'll have to have a good think about why an Ulric priest is in Altdorf, or possibly change god :). Will wait to see if we get any more interest anyway
If no one else has made a claim to it, I'd like to make a wizard's apprentice of some kind. Any restrictions or house rules I should know of?

No chaos sorcerers this early in the game.

LOL, no... I was thinking more along the lines of the Imperial wizard from the Gottrek & Felix novels (Heinrich, was it?). Classically schooled, fighting the addictive pull of Chaos, etc.

Well I will make a character and see what you think.

stat-wise it's ok; but why is this elf slumming in Sigmar's city? is he an outcast by any chance? or a member of a merchant house come to make a deal in behalf of his distant principals?
Or is he an actor come to Altdorf to seek fame and fortune that seems to elude him in the elf-lands?
He is a outcast having enraged a noble elf lord by having a illicit affair with the nobles daughter.

Hence, a lack of resources, desperation and willingness to undertake any venture to secure his future, yes?

An apprentice wizard usually has little time to adventure; does your character have trouble coming up with the money for tuition fee? or, is he simply a restless soul who needs to flout the rules every once in a while?
So far we have:
an Initiate
an Apprentice Wizard; and
an Elvish Rogue
anybody else who wish to join?

I'm thinking one of Albrecht's younger siblings got tired of living in his older brothers shadow and lashed out one day- killing another man in Altdorf by accident. The lawyer either got his brother off and is now owed a favour, or Albrecht seeks the services of a lawyer but has little coin to pay for one.
Background:
Kleopold "Kleo" Tollbringer is the son of the semi-famous retired adventurer, Derek Tollbringer, and named after his father's cousin, who was tragically killed in Marienburg. Kleo's uncle, Reid, dabbled in the arcane mysteries, and inspired Kleo at a young age to learn more. With money saved from his adventuring days, Derek was able to get Kleo an apprenticeship and pay his initial tuition for the academy in Altdorf. Unfortunately, the cost of living in Altdorf (and a penchant for drinking binges) burned up the funds too quickly. Kleo now is in jeopardy of losing his apprenticeship.
Perhaps he needs a lawyer to settle some debts with creditors. Will that work?

Kleo owes the wrong type of people a lot of money; they have already expressed a desire to be paid ASAP and they will not take NO for an answer. They do not bother hinting bodily harm, no they have given you a small foretaste of what is to come. You recall being unable to attend classes for a week.
The lawyer now offers to help you settle this matter, if you can help with a little project he is working on.
The lawyer now offers to help you settle this matter, if you can help with a little project he is working on.
Kleo will agree to help the lawyer, as long as it isn't anything "too illegal."
OOC - just to verify, I know all of the Petty Magic spells? The way I read it, I don't need separate talents for individual spells until I get into Lesser Magic. Is that right?

bigkilla, here's a scenario: having seduced the noble's daughter, you reckoned that leaving the homeland would be enough to avoid punishment, however, the girl had a suitor who would not let you off that easily and he is now tracking you... enter the lawyer who offers to provide you with a new identity, suitable disguises, etc., in exchange for your participation in a little project.
Alexander here. Crunch and fluff complete in this profile- I've spent quite a long time on descriptions etc. so if everyone could at least read the physical description and outlook that would be great. DM, i've included some details of my siblings, including Otto- the brother Albrecht is trying to get off the hook.
Edit: if either of you two like my template or want to speed up putting the stats into a profile, I can send it to you if you give me your e-mail.
