Plenty of experience in 3.5e, and I like roleplaying/world-building (in the game) with my characters. I usually end up encouraging the other group members to form a little guild of sorts, and then I'll design a flag and emblem for us (the last one I played in was named the Crimson Eagles). Just an example. I have no problem helping out with designing maps, either. If you are interested in seeing my work, you can check it out on twowolves80.deviantart.com. I am pretty adaptable and don't really hoard a trove of magical stuff. I usually am happy with one or two minor items ( Slippers of Spider Climbing are a favorite) more for defense or utility. I had a kobold monk I used to play that I have drawn up at level 4 (no problems backing him down, though I think kobolds have a negative CL value, so it might balance out...?) that I would love to play. His name is Zuul, and his link can be found here . Basically, he would be a fun character to play as I like to ham it up with him, and poke fun at myself through him by having him do things like trip over his own tail, have long conversations with his dog in draconic, and generally make others laugh. But when it comes down to the line, he is more than willing to kick some arse and take some names (behold, his mighty fists of fury at 1d6! lol) He's LN, so he's also playing against type, and since the story is that his egg was stolen by slavers, and he was raised as a pet, he has none of the racial hatred of gnomes that his kin do (though the gnomes will not know this!).
