Hello all,
I am having a little trouble with my character and am hoping on you all lovely people to give me some inspiration and new angles of approach. :smallsmile:
You see, it started as two characters, but DM suggested I would combine the concepts into one, and that is were I am having some issues. It just doesn't feel quite right yet.
First thing I wanted to play was a reluctant body guard to one of the other PCs. The details aren't all planned out, but I was thinking she has been the caretaker of her two younger siblings, wich are now in a, literal or not, hostage situation, forcing her to lend her services as body guard to the other PC. (The other player finds this hilarious, but the PC is not overly fond of having a "babysitter." The order comes from higher up in the organisation. So both body guard and body guarded are reluctant at best of the situation.)
The other concept is a little red riding hood/wolf in the same person kind of thing. A young woman who has been having a voice in her head her whole life. The voice is friendly and familiar with her, but fiercly protective and tends to take control when there is danger. She sees the voice as family, and of dreads the day when an exorcist will find her and what that would do to her friend. (The voice is not only in her head, there is something magical going on, but she does not now the origin, the voice only claims he is there to protect her). (I have actually wanted to play something like this for ages. At first the voice was a very, very old and mean wolf spirit, that had been forgotten by its people. But now I don't really now what it is. DM says hw has it all planned out, so I trust him. ^^)
My problem is combining the two. How would that work? I am having a hard time making figuring out background and personality for a character like that. So, any suggestions? I am stuck and really like discussing conceptstuff with people, so hit me. If something sucks, please tell me, or give me a suggestion for improvement.
(Also, please excuse my english, not a native speaker. If I am hard to understand, please ask and shall try to clarify. ^^)
