Background - Born into the family of a poor but honest merchant, Felron found himself out on his ear when he stole and sold the family wagon at the age of 12. The young Felron made for the city of Ellendel, secure in the knowledge that he'd found his true calling. He soon found it difficult to blend into the background, however, as he continued to grow and was forced to find employment as lookout for a particularly inept band of burglars. As he also tended to sound the alarm prematurely, it was no surprise that the burglars rarely managed to steal anything. He soon resorted to picking pockets to scrape a living, although he was loath to put himself at such risk of capture. Hearing rumours of vast treasures to be found at little risk, Felron has decided to try his hand at dungeon delving before he is forced to earn a living by honest means, a state of affairs he is keen to avoid at any cost.

Description - Felron Lightfinger is tall and thin of frame. He wears his unruly black hair long and has been attempting to grow a beard in an attempt to look more intimidating, without much success. His eyes are a watery blue and his complexion pale. His garments attest to the fact that, so far, he is not much of a thief.

Personality - Felron has always aspired to be a thief, which says much about his character. Unfortunately, he's never been much good at it, because of his physical stature and the fact that he's also an abject coward. In a tight spot he can always be counted on to look out for himself, although he will work within a team, mainly because he figures it puts more distance between himself and peril, whatever the peril may be. He also has a long memory for favours owed him but tends to conveniently forget his own obligations.

Character of the day - some background

Today's character is Felron Lightfinger. This character was the first I created for Tunnels and Trolls, around four years ago. Amongst our gaming group, a couple of us came to the hobby via the Traveller route rather than D&D, and Tunnels and Trolls had completely passed us by. When my friend Russ suggested running T&T, I decided to go for a character in complete opposition to those I normally play(pretty straight arrows) and went for a complete sleazebag. Felron is the result. Also the only character i've ever had (I think) die in the course of an adventure.
As a side note, I drew a neat picture of the character which I would have loved to post but unfortunately my then four year old got hold of my sketchbook and coloured him in. Ah well.

Last post..

That character was the oldest I still have in my possession, from the mid to late 80's. The character sheet was typed, on an actual type writer :-). And in common with most young gamers, his sheet was more or less a shopping list of heavy weapons.

So that was the oldest and you've seen the newest. More characters to come, every day or so hopefully.

Tomorrow; Felron Lightfinger (Deceased) from Tunnels and Trolls...

Background

In the darkest days of World War 2, the call went out for brave men and women to stand in the front line against the forces of Axis evil. One such man was fighter ace David Mcniven, who, armed with the latest in technology from Britain's greatest minds takes the fight to the enemy as Jet Commando!
