Background: A poor orphaned boy rasied by the streets of Solanthus after my parents dies of a wasting plague. Left Solanthus to seek greener pastures, fell in with a group of adventurers and travelled the width and breath of Solmania, before having a run in with the chruch of Gilean in Palanthas. Accused of having stolen a book from their library, my punishment was 6 months of service in their church. Wasn't much to do there, so I started to read some of the books they had and began to learn things about the rest of Ansalon. I spent 2 years at the church reading every book they had and then petitioned the Aethestics at the Great Library for admitance to join their order. I was accepted to the Great Library and spent my time there learning Ansalon's history and assisting those trying to find information. After eight years there I decided that I should travel and learn about as much as possible and pass my knowledge along.
Okay. So you would want to be raised as a neutral evil character? Yikes.

In the make-believe world of Dragonlance, sure. Though of course, with the specific character above, chances are he wasn't raised evil, he merely became evil, the exact reasons why being some crucial point in his life ... like the conquest of his homeland. I am far from a NE elf assassin in Real Life, so why be so mundane as to be myself in a world where almost anything goes (mortals becoming Gods, worlds being stolen like marbles, giant flying lizards spit cones of quicksilver, Knights of evil battle to save the world rather then destroying it, etc.) If this game were about portraying oneself exactly as they were in real life I'd of said I was a LN Human Commoner 1/Expert 2 ... but it isn't, and so I didn't.
But age doesn't correspond with character level, so...
...I got nothing.
In this case it does, as first stated by the creator of this thread (emphasis in bold my own):
Don't forget to include your alignment, race, and class levels (for the purposes of this discussion, your character level is equal to half your real-life chronological age; not a totally accurate measurement, I know, but it works and it ensures everyone will have at least six levels under their belt;

Nope. The master doesn't have spellcasting, so I don't really know how Koranith would qualify for loremaster.

Sorry about that. I hadn't erased that from when I was 5th level cleric instead of a 5th level Master. I now see how easily those typos happen. I'll append that to Master 6.

I would love to see someone severely defeat and humiliate all of those arcane control-freaks known as the Wizards of High Sorcery.
Might as well be Koranith. :D
archmage have you turned your back on the magic of the moons?
*cold laughter* I, one of the most powerful Black Robes to ever live, turn my back on Nuitari? Never. But it annoys me to no end that others of the Orders feel they must control all that is magical.
I have crafted hundreds of magical items, and written thousands of scrolls and spellbooks, but I am confident enough in my power that I can stand to see a few items fall into the hands of the unwashed. This spreads the use of magic far and wide, and the glory of the moons grows greater because of it.
I've argued time and again that the Renegade Hunters are unnecessary. If there are those who would use godly magic or wild magic in a way that defies the rules of the Conclave, let the moon gods deal with them, unless they strike at the Orders directly.
If they do, then the fun begins. For only in strife-of-art can magic truly grow, and I long to use my mastery of necromancy to devastating effect. Leave the sorcerers alone, if they desire to be so. Slay them if they challenge you directly.
Even I know that the wild magic is too strong to eradicate completely, and thus it is here to stay no matter what we do. Sentiments of a Red Robe, perhaps, but that is what I feel.
And when I said I wanted the Orders of High Sorcery beaten and humiliated, I didn't say I would be present for that.
It's either the whiskey talking or my inner Krynnish child, but here's me if I existed in Dragonlance.
I'd be Rooksaro Uth Oraskoor, a noble and (somewhat) acclaimed Knight of the Sword residing in the rebuilt city of Solanthus after the War of Souls. I'd be a Lawful Good (ha!) human, Fighter 6/Crown Knight 4/Sword Knight 6 with my trusty Solamnic plate mail and my ancestral longsword, dubbed 'Fatherbash' (as in, "Hey goblin invaders, who's your daddy?", "My wha-?", "FATHERBASH!").
Born the son of a stable hand, I rose to the Knighthood through displays of chivalry (blackmailing my Lord Knight sponsor about his 'relationship' with the 'maid'), bravery (won the 'Solanthus Ale-Chug four years in a row), and honor (invented the first steel corset for female knights... forgot to include a crucial buckle and WHOOPS!).
My days are spent with the tasks of adventuring and heroic quests, of course! I rise in the morning and immediately down the only thing that my hardened Constitution score will let me tolerate: Dwarf Spirits. Vintage. From the barrel under the stairs. After managing to dislocate my naked self from the linen closet (where some evil-doer has unabashedly left me in some kind of magical stupor), I dress in my mail and head to the best source of information in Solanthus: The White Swan Inn. There, I collect information on the whereabouts of evil by using my guile to smooth over the otherwise rough and raucous patrons of this notoriously rough establishment.
"Another wine for me, baby! And this one better be sloshing over the sides."
"Look, Sir Oraskoor, maybe you'd better go easy on that stuff-"
"Nonsense. You'd mind your P's and Q's blacksmith if your nose wasn't crammed into the backside of evil!
"Crammed into wha-?"
"Yes, yes, swine of a pig's second wedding, I know your ploys. And you, Jon the Plumber, sit here, come, speak to me of things you may know of."
"Know? But Sir, I'm a plumber. I plumb. Holes. It's what I do."
"By chance, are these holes..."
"Oh, sweet Majere..."
"...evil?!? Are they EVIL holes, Jon the Plumber, that you plumb for the forces of the dark pantheon?"
"No, mi' Lord. They're more like s**t holes, Sir."
"S**t holes of EVIL?!?, my good Plumber? Eh, man? Is that you're game?!?"
"No, Sir. Just s**t holes."
"Of darkness at the least?"
"No, Lord."
"There wouldn't, by chance, be... oh, I don't know... Neraka Knights in said holes, would there be. Jon the Plumber?"
"No, Lord. Just s**t, Sir."
"Goodday, fair tradesmen of Solanthus!"
Armed with this knowledge, I spend the next four hours staking out every "s**t hole" in Solanthus in the hopes of stopping whatever nefarious plot is affot in the depths of such... such... depths. My search is thorough and vigilant; I carefully comb each one, searching the Abyssal orifices of offal for any sign, any clue to the impending danger that evil carries. I go so far as to use such locations, thereby disguising myself as a common passerbyer in order to ambus the forces of fecal darkness.
"Oh! So sorry, Sir! Didn't know you were in there, mi'Lord!"
"No worry there, Hal the Carpenter. But please, curtail your tongue, good tradesman. I'm staking out evil, fair citizen, and word of my vigilance could alert the ene... ene... ENEM...E-N-E-M-YYYYYYYYYY... OHH... YES... AHHHHHH.... ahhhh........ forces... good... citizen... could, could you hand me that bolt of cloth, please? No, the whole yard."
I can understand why the citizens don't want to get involved. Evil is a messy, tainted business ill fit for the weak of heart.
At end the day, tired and footsore, in the prayer and meditation chambers of the Temple of Paladine. Though long gone, our revered and much-loved patron deity is not forgotten. I try to be respectful and quiet in the halls of the Temple, careful to the utmost lest I disturb the meditations of my other fellow Knights.
"Pardon, good mystic woman. May I request from you a flagon of water to wet my weary throat? I am to seek the solace and respite of the prayer cells soon and I would very much like a bit of moisture to prepare my pallet for the libations of the Temple."
"Certainly, Sir. Will you be in room 4?"
"Yes."
"Alone?"
"Certainly. As a virtuous and chaste - an ever-so, righteously-so, mightily-so chaste knight must be after spending long hours in this hot, gleaming, sleek shell of armor, fair Lady, just a-cooking and a-sweating and a-ready to strip it down and get into some serious praying. If I'm not being too subtle."
"You're not."
"I have 8 ranks in Diplomacy."
"It shows. Now, 10 steel pieces ahead, no touching below the waist."
"No, sorry. 10 ranks. I forgot to add my Charisma bonus."
"Ok, 15 up front, all access-pass, but no maces or swords in easy reach."
"Deal!"

On a more-serious note, I've asked my players not to play evil characters unless they absolutely must. For me, it just takes away from the point of telling heroic stories - a primary concern for me. Interesting point to consider: The worth of playing evil characters.
Oh goody!
.

"Deal!"
Ah, Rooks...I have missed you. LOL!
Have you ever played Hackmaster? I think you'd make an excellent Knight Errant. Not you personally...but I think you could play one rather well.
For me, it just takes away from the point of telling heroic stories - a primary concern for me.
I certainly agree with Cam's first post that I doubt that most people would actually be "evil." I've never understood the attraction to wanting to be evil. Granted...a lot of my favorite fictional characters aren't exactly "good"...but I never claimed I wanted to be like them, either.
Added to that, I agree with Rooks here as well. If I could ever actually get a game going (I'm tellin' ya, the Fates are against me), I don't think I'd allow it at all. If someone wants to play an evil character or an evil campaign...they'll need to find someone else...because I don't want to tell those kinds of stories, and I don't think they'd enjoy playing in any of my games.
Ah, Rooks...I have missed you. LOL!
Huzzah! It's Madman Rooks, champion of...well, I'm not sure what, but it sure is fun! :D
We sure have missed you around here, bud. Stay for a bit?
I have to agree with the sentiment on playing heroic characters. I've been burned when the game isn't heroic.
As for me, I think I'd be the Sword Knight taking Sir Rooks-a-lot back to getting sobered up! :D
My PC's don't attack eachother, or kill eachother, or steal from eachother, etc. They work well as a team, heal eachother when needed, split things evenly, etc. The only difference is they don't like going around helping ppl "because they are good". Two of my PC's always ask the question "What's in it for us". They want money, magical items, or other compinsation. I've seen them do good deeds before. They don't just kill everyone that comes across their path. But if they decide they don't like someone or they want something they have, they will try to take it or try to figure out some way to get the stuff.
I really enjoy this kind of playing because its their game too. I hate hearing "*sigh* I have to help them because I'm good...". Bah.. if you dont want to, dont. I'm the DM.. I dont care what they do. I can make enjoyment one way or another. I want my player's to play whatever they want, as long as its not overpowering or game unbalancing. Thats why I let pretty much any race, and lots of different choices of feats and prestige classes. Man let them have fun. I always hated the "you can only play the standard races from the PHB" attitude. No matter what kind of PC a player can make up, I can make things challenging and exciting.
I can see a problem in a campaign where the PC just wants to screw over the other PC's. But my PC's are very loyal to eachother. I think an evil campaign opens up actually more options. Because not only will evil things attack them, but so will good. I've had this several times when a paladin or Solamnic Knight happens upon them and decides to "cleanse the stain of evil". For the most part, my PC's work pretty well together no matter what their alignment is. Maybe I'm blessed. I say let them be evil and find ways to encourage them to go on adventures.. you'd be surprised just how far greed can take them heh.
I really enjoy this kind of playing because its their game too. I hate hearing "*sigh* I have to help them because I'm good...". Bah.. if you dont want to, dont.
That really sounds more like a Neutral game than an evil one...
Man let them have fun.
Well...that was kind of my point. I would not have fun with an evil campaign...why should I be force to participate in one. And on the flipside of that...if the players want to play an evil game, they obviously aren't going to get the enjoyment out of a heroic one that I'd make for them.
It just wouldn't be compatible gaming, I think. But that's just me...I'm really not into games where one plays the bad guy (like GTA or something like that...I did however like TIE Fighter...but then again, in that game, they really did a good job of switching the roles around and making the Rebel Alliance seem like a terrorist organization).
It's just a difference in tastes, that's all. I'm sure the psychologists would have more to say on the subject...but I'm not, so I don't. :D
I dunno, my players switch off so much. So its never just purely evil. I just know a couple of my players favor it more. I'm so used to it it doesnt really bother me much. My players still go around and purge evil sometimes, etc. I dunno, they area crafty bunch and are always wanting to do different things. I try to encourage it. Heck if it comes out to be evil, whatever.. it happens. As long as they play and have fun.
My biggest problem comes because alignment is so funky. No two people can exactly agree on alignment. You might think alike on most things, but there will always be differences. And I hate arguing about "that is evil, no its not, yes it is.." etc. I mainly have the player pick an alignment, and as long as they don't do something so grossly against it.. anything goes. I hate seeing people who decide not to do something when they are good, or do one wrong thing because of the situation they are in, get penalized. Good/evil are tangible things in D&D, but its dang hard to catagorize every action into a catagory.
One of my players who mainly plays evil wants to play a Solamnic Knight and start doing good. I really don't think it will be that hard, he knows how to do it. My advice to him was not to say things like "I'm good I have to do this!" and instead try to convince the other PC's why it would be beneficial and appeal to their real personalities because most people have good feelings.

Created to serve in the dragon armies and to fight in the war, he often found he was more interested in the magic he wielded than the cause he was to fight for. He found he wanted more, and started taking the spellbooks of the slain mages. Through study he found he could cast more like the wizards and found a way to use his inner power to fuel the power memorized spells instead of just his innate spells. He "faked" his own death in a battle and left the war behind to find a way to slake his thirst for knowledge. After studying for some time he found his way to the Tower of Wayreth, where he surprised the wizards to say the least. He asked to take the Test and passed it, though it was a close thing. Part of his test involved him denying and fighting a representation of the Dark Queen herself, to prove his loyalty was truely to magic and Nuitari alone. (He also had to choose to reject his dragon heritage to pass the test.) This was the beginning of his problems..... as now the black robes of the Dark Queen know that he still lives, and that he has rejected her rule.
The character is based of myself, as to what I would be in this situation by the way.... and yes that is my actual alignment by how alignment goes in D&D. Attributes are based on mine with the modifications for being a Aurak Draconian. (this is also an NPC in a game I have, though the level is 1 higher here as I am 30 and the character was only 14th level instead of 15th.)

Wow, I make an Ugly D&D character. My first level would be fighter, because I played a lot of sports as a child. Next I would have started on Wizard levels, because im just that kinda guy. after about 4 levels of wizard I would probably go into monk due to my interests in meditation and self perfection of body and mind. Unfortunately I lack the self discipline and concentration skills and would quickly multiclass back into Wizard, taking my test and becoming an WOHS for a few more levels. I would quickly grow tired of all the laws and structure and set ways of doing things and convert to sorcery, although I would practice it in a manner simmilar to wizards. Eventualy I would pick up soem mysticism, because of my beliefs in self perfection. My domain would either be healing or meditation. All in all my ADD would show though a lot on the character sheet with little bits of lots of skills, and high levels of proficiencey and specialization in a couple skills, stats would be something like.

After taking a medium-difficulty Test, he was admitted to the Orders of High Sorcery. His magical proficiency led him to travel.
This is one of my splinter personalities. Unfortanitly, he's also in my campaign as the one of my NPCs most connected to me. What can i say, i do a version of this with myself all the time.

Habrian was born during the reign of Emporor Chot. He was a decent fighter, but not first class. His true talent remained latent for a long time, until after the War of Souls when he chased after a traitor from the same clan. After reaching him, he cast a spell. His greataxe "Sargas's Horns" struck through, and killed the foe. After that, he became a diciple of the god. After returning, he was not a backer of the usurper.

That would be my very first roleplaying character for DL today
[ if I had played him all the time from 1987 until now and if he had not died so tragically (rumours say that afterwards, he was conceded his own domain in Ravenloft) after calling Lord Soth a *long hard word of sexually explicit content* when he and his party were kidnapped and brought to castle Dargaard. (1993)]
I don't care too much about *official rules*, even played AD&D adventures with other game rules (gee, hereticus sum,
)I am still convinced that a character should be leveled only because he won it.
--> If a fighter stays in battle until his near end or a mage casts nearly every spell he knows to defend a village from ogre raiders (or to knock out the local militia, he he) then he deserves a *reward*.
I consider that level/age thing unflexible; how then can you explain epic characters like Raistlin, Mordenkainen and else? ;)
But well, that's just how I think my first RPG character would look like; it's not that I'd use him anymore... :D
I have too many personalities... Unfortanitely, im only allowed 5.5 levels.
Your character level=1/2 your real-life age. You cannot be 10 years old and be a member of these message boards. Can you?
I would be an Age of Might Wizard
Comon, everyone's from Age of Mortals? The Age of Might is so much better!
I would be an Age of Might Wizard
More like Age of Might wizard corpse. Being reviled by the most powerful person on the planet doesn't really help you chances of survival in that age. After reading the War of the Lance sourcebook, I am torn between being a wizard in the 4th or 5th age. Still, the 5th age does offer quite a lot of opportunity though.
