Hey I would love to play if you are willing to teach, here is a sample of a character i thought up. Backstory: A well learned cleric from a small village in the Kar'gahan Forest. Largely self taught until the day he met Father Hardonic, who raised him under the Church of Boccob, god of magic. Once a being of stable mind and devout servitude to the Church of Boccob god of magic, quickly changed when a wandering necromancer attacked his village. The necromancer without remorse, summoned forth the dead from the small local graveyard, turning the animated corpses of the relatives of the living against them. As the villagers attempted to flee Hannaedus came forth to challenge the necromancer. Skillfully dispatching the undead, as he made his way. Until he came upon the reanimated corpse of his beloved wife (Galandrael) who he had been forced to kill during an outbreak of plague 7 years prior. The shock of seeing, his wife alive again (in a sense) and knowing that he must kill her once again put tremendous strain on the mind of Hannaedus. Causing a splitting of personality, between a calm leveled head and intelligent being and that of a deranged man, almost completely devoid of logic and reason. After the shattering of his mind, the deranged side took over. Violently lashing out and destroying the undead, but also attacking the villagers that attempt to flee. After successfully defeating the necromancer, Hannaedus stumbled to the remains of the local chapel, before collapsing at the steps. During this time the sounds of destruction and screaming villagers gathered the attention of a group of soldiers. Who with haste ran to the village, finding the village in ruins. While searching the wreckage they came upon Hannaedus; with care they hoisted his unconscious body onto the back of a horse. Taking him away in search of a healer. Hannaedus awoke, in a small inn, the local innkeeper laying fresh dressings on him. The only word the innkeeper heard before the half-elf pushed her aside and ran into the forests was "Drael". Months later rumours began to spread of a deranged half-elf wandering through the wilderness. Most spoke saying he acted like a feral creature, but on occasion you would hear of whisperings of a highly intelligent and wise man who healed those hurt in the wilderness.
