Background: The third of five children
in a family of farmers, Sophia de Fiant was raised in a remote country
village. Clever, impulsive, and easily
bored, she soon learned to hate country life.
(The fact that many of the villagers made fun of her strange looks and
bizarre style of dress didn't help, either.)
Growing up, her only real friend was her uncle Brant (her mother's older
brother). Brant had been a soldier,
traveling merchant, and generally roguish individual in his youth and had many
stories from all parts of the world. Listening
to him, and learning a number of his thieving and fighting skills, made her
feel as though there was something more to life than cows and chickens. At age 15 she ran away from the village to
seek her fortune and prove herself to her family and community.
Description: Although she pretends to be
an experienced thief, Sophia is actually quite naïve, trusts people easily, and
doesn't always realize when someone is trying to trick her. She is generally extroverted and friendly,
and tries not to double-cross the people she truly befriends. (Although sometimes she just can't control
it...) Sophia always wants to be doing
something and is almost constantly in motion.
Her penchant for larceny comes not so much from greed as from a desire
to be noticed. Her ultimate goal is to
make a fortune and a name for herself, partially to get back at the people who
were cruel to her in her youth, and partially to feel good about herself.
Sophia's
fellow adventurers:
Diego
de Segunto, mercenary
Henry
Camatt, misanthropic scholar and bard
Jacqueline
and Jillian, NPC mercenaries and sisters (or, "when you can't think of
an NPC name, go with what you know")
Jeremiah,
absent-minded wizard
(Sophia is a 90-point character for a recently-begun GURPS fantasy campaign. The group is truly a great bunch of roleplayers, and we're all having a lot of fun with one another's various quirks! I've never used this system before, so I'd really appreciate feedback!)
