Alas Poor Tamawold.

My plan for this post was to introduce and present another of my D&D characters back stories, however when I opened Tamawold Stormchild's back story this morning I found that it was missing. The file was in it's place but when I opened the file up over two thirds of the story had vanished. It must have fallen through the cracks during a hard drive crash I had a few years ago. I had a moment of silence for Tamawold.

Tamawold was my favorite character to date. As far as stats go he was a shifter warden from 4.0 (which I have mixed emotions about) based mostly on Con and Str, but he was much more than that. Tamawold was my first attempt at a very serious character and my best attempt at creating a fully fleshed out personality. I try to build character personalities out of a kerrnel of emotion and set of values that I can strongly empathize with or at least understand strongly. Dalin from my previous post was based on a very simple set of ideas: youth and naivety, "I just want to sing" and the idea of a reluctant adventurer. Tamawold was a heavier character he was a shield barer to the world,  refused to give in to anything and would eventually become a force of nature.
