[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 8020315, member: 1231"] I made up a quick example character. The background is not quite as fancy as in depth as I might have liked, and I only have his build right now, not a character sheet. But it would work, I think, either as a PC or as the supporting character. The Sample Prisoner, Heselem Alpur male half-elf prisoner flurry ranger 2, neutral str 16 dex 16 con 12 int 10 wis 14 cha 10 feats ancestral - nimble elf background - experienced smuggler class - hunted shot, monk dedication skill - hefty hauler skills trained - athletics, deception, intimidate, medicine, nature, performance, stealth, survival, underworld lore Heselem never knew his father, a roguish elven bandit, who seduced his naive young mother one stormy night in the Drumish countryside. He was never quite allowed to forget this fact, not by his mother, who laboured for many years under the belief that her handsome beau would return for her. Nor by his distraught grandparents who had gained a sternness they had not possessed when raising their daughter. They all loved him in their own way, of course. But it made for many an uncomfortable dinner conversation as he matured. A scandalous origin also did not endear him much with the local clergy of Kalistrade. And so, perhaps unsurprisingly, Heselem found himself pushed into stereotypically "elfish" pursuits: hunting, outdoorsmanship, and the like. And while he was mostly law-abiding man occasionally he found himself skirting certain laws against poaching and other bureaucratic distinctions. His skill was appreciated by his neighbours though and they mostly left him alone. Until the day when he fell afoul in his hunt with a small company of Mercenary League soldiers who had been tracking the same prey. His crime had not been great, but the vindictive captain of the company pulled some strings and Heselem was imprisoned on trumped up charges. The sentence was to be fourteen years, including hard labour. And time certainly seemed to drag on forever. Heselem became hardened and all too well acquainted with his fellow prisoners. Fighting was a fact of life, and in the absence any of his old trusted weapons he had to learn to be effective with his fists. At some point the half-elven Alspur was deemed to be more trouble than he was worth and was transferred to a dungeon where he seemed to have afterward been forgotten. Heselem continued his physical training to pass the time, but his health was just beginning to fade. And then about seven years into his sentence, quite suddenly everything changed. [/QUOTE]
