[QUOTE="Richards, post: 9315284, member: 508"] My current PC is Alistair Mandelberen Pastlethwaite, a young human nobleman whose father kicked him out of the family for being a sorcerer - for surely the only reason he was casting spells all of a sudden was he had been trafficking with fiends! The problem was, Alistair actually had no idea he was casting spells; it all just kind of came to him naturally, and he assumed the odd manifestations were the result of the ghost of Ogilvy, a family servant who looked after Alistair and his older brother when they were little, tending to the young adult Alistair's needs. (Nope, it was Alistair subconsciously casting an [i]unseen servant[/i] spell without knowing it.) All of Alistair's starting spells were pretty much comfort-related: [i]endure elements[/i] to keep him from getting too hot or too cold; [i]mage hand[/i] to fetch him things just out of reach, and the like. So, having to fend for himself for the first time in his life (and not having any real idea of how one went about making a living), Alistair took a page from a series of children's books he'd enjoyed when he was little (okay, and still enjoyed today) about a famed (but fictional) adventuring hero named Elfy Danger Silverleaf and decided to become an adventurer. Eventually, Alistair figured out he was a sorcerer (that irritating grackle that had been following him around turned out to be his familiar, for one thing), and he got a little better at the adventuring life once he started learning some spells that could actually keep him alive instead of merely just comfortable. (It was good thing he'd had fencing lessons since he was 10 years old - his rapier was his main means of offense and defense early in his adventuring career.) He's now at the cusp of gaining 12th level, is a somewhat accomplished sorcerer in his own right, and makes a little bit of money on the side writing songs about his party's exploits, which he sells to a local bard.
