brief introduction:
I feel more confident when roleplaying if I decide in advance what can be considered standard behaviors and reactions. While identifying the biggest goals and motivations is helpful, I like to go a little more into detail with specific actions, phrases, tendencies etc that can be used when appropriate.
This is by no means the best way of doing it, it's just the way I find more comfortable.
If you feel like it, contribute. The wider the list, the happier I'll be :smallsmile:
This is the character idea:
Human, melee focused Legion Mystic (Dragonlance)
Chaotic Good
Middle age
Looks like this:

Characters that I would like him to resemble:
-Joseph Joestar
-Monkey D. Garp
-Takamura Mamoru (when he was young)
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
-Mr. Wolf (or at least he tries too hard at being like this. I don't mind if he fails, might be even funnier)
Tropes:
-Eccentric mentor
-Boisterous bruiser
-Crouching moron, hidden badass
-Badass grandpa
Note: The Legion of Steel is a knightly order without strict ranks. It's very flexible and allows its member to take independent actions, as long as they are aligned with the main goals.
The basic ideal is to have the strength of doing what's best (aka good)
The character is high level, high ranked and quite old so his self-confidence is somewhat justified. He was like that when he was young as well tho.
Imagine you want to play this (you probably don't, but that's ok) how would you develop it? What would you imagine him to do?
[I picture hims as lighthearted, hot-blooded, occasionally wise when absolutely required.
A recurring topic is his age. He doesn't like to be old, so he tries to make it look like it makes him better than youngsters. Occasionally will try "a new look" that is apparently trendy among the kids.
He's stupid-good and will give his life away if needed. He will never ask for a reward. Hates formalities. Can't keep himself from wasting money on trivial stuff. Will inevitably end up in a brawl if provoked]
You're given a free hand
