Rob's Character Quiz
.

Please note none of your answers are hard and fast if you don't want them to be, the power of the Wiki makes this a handy way to mould your character and answers as you see fit as an idea forms for how, who and why you want to adventure.

Questions

Where were you born?

I'd like everyone to be from the Cauldron Region or at the furthest away Sassarine.

To whom where you born?

Names of you father and mother, race as well if you have an idea already.

Do you have any siblings?

That's brothers or sisters to you.

Do you get along with your family?

Still alive? Live nearby? Whatever.

What did your parent's do for a living?

Pretty simple question. But how did this effect who you became.

When the campaign starts you have for some reason or other taken up the profession of Adventurer and have joined and an Adventuring Party, what has motivated you to take up this lifestyle?

Here are some ideas

  • It happened by accident
  • You are suicidal
  • You like the danger
  • Your father was an adveturer now retired and you want to please him
  • Your wish to be famous
  • You need cash quick
  • You want to be powerful
  • You want to do good
  • You wish to uphold the law and battle evil
  • For love

Obiously you should expand upon these, for example:

  • You need cash quick to pay for an expensive spell that will cure your critically ill grandmother
  • You need to be rich and famous to impress the love of your life and win her affections
  • You need to be powerful to exact revenge upon someone

Why do you feel the need to stand out from the crowd and be different?

As an adventurer you most probably do feel the need, but why.

What motivates you to act and change the environment around you?

In a way your average Adventurer can be quite the activist, why?

What physical traits do you have? And how did you get them? No need to restric yourslef to one answer.

For example:

  • You have a limp
  • A facial twitch
  • Strange colour eyes
  • Tendency towards minor illnesses
  • Big nose
  • Ugly scar
  • Missing eye
  • Bad breath
  • Weak bladder
  • Fat
  • Good looking
  • Plenty more you can think of

What emotional/mental/social traits do you have? And of course why/how?

For example:

  • Shy
  • Exteroverted
  • Angry
  • Crazy
  • Compulsive truth teller
  • Womaniser
  • Heavy drinker
  • Tardy (as in late not! Doh!)
  • Reckless
  • Lazy
  • Phobic (A fear of the dark will make it very hard to play mind!)
  • Geeky
  • Loner
  • Party Animal
  • Tinkerer
  • Creative
  • History of family mental ilness
  • Plenty more you can think of

Good or Evil which are you?

Keep in mind we want non-evil alignments and if you choose to have a non-good alignment then please detail why your character feels that ambiguity.

What is good and evil? Why do you feel the way you do? Is that how you were brought up or has there been an incedent in your life to make you change your mind?

Law or Chaos, discuss.

Should the law be obeyed, if yes why, if not, why not? All the time? Some of the time? What if the law is wrong or evil?

What class is your first level?

Keeping in mind what motivates you and perhaps your family background, what class is your first level in and why did it happen that way as you grew into adulthood. Remember your second level does not have to be the same class you can always multiclass. Perhaps you have recently become interested in something else and are moving towards that class at second level.

For example:

  • Did you train as a Fighter because you were driven by a need to revenge your murdered father?
  • Perhaps you are a Rogue as it was the only way to help feed your penniless mother and sisters after your father was jailed for a crime he didn't commit.
  • You were plucked from obsucrity by your master when he discovered your knack for magic and taken from your family into a length apprenticeship as a Wizard.
  • You grew up on the fringes of society in perhaps a less 'civilised' way and so have a first level of Barbarian.
  • You trained as a fighter and always hated it, but had to do so at the insitence of your adopted father who raised you. Recently you've become more interested in playing the lute and making up songs and so will take a level in Bard at 2nd level.

Do you have any treasured possesions and how did you come about them?

  • Favourite weapon given by your master? etc

What things are you good at?

  • Languages
  • Athletics
  • Gift of the gab
  • Swimming
  • Riding (Note this is probably the only skill out of all of them that will not be used much at all in the whole campaign)
  • History
  • etc, think skills or groups of skills

Do you have a name?

Well? I have a handy cauldron name generator somewhere, ask me if you need.

Do you like your name? Do you use another?

How about a nickname?

No dwarves called 'short arse' please!

Describe your appearance

Weight, build, hair, eyes, nose, arse, legs etc. Clothing of course. And weapons if you like.

How well do they dress? Shabby? Dapper? Expensive? Jewellery.

Any friends?

How and why of course.

Religeous?

Have a god, why? Just the way you were brought up? Converted at some time? Just like the social life?

Hobbies

What do you do for laughs, interest, while away boredom?

Any prejudices?

Hate half orcs? Nobles? Merchants?

Why are you now living in Sassarine?

At the start of the campaign you'll all be in Sassarine, either living there or if you are the roaming type just passing through. You'll have joined up together to form a part of adventurers and answer an advert for help required by a Cleric of St.Cuthbert in the village of Redgorge. So how did you come to be in/move to Sassarine.

Do you have any history with other party members before the party was formed in Sassarine?

Perhaps you are related or have long been friends with someone else in the party, or you trained with them or came from the same village. How did you meet if you did, was it under a particularly exciting or dramatic hapenstance.
