Background and Personality Ideas Anyone?

Pete asked me this question in chat and I thought that perhaps a blog format would be a good place for us to get together and help round things out.

"Any ideas on background/personality? I know it's hard to leap right into the setting and all. Feel free to ask questions if you have them. Some things to think about--did the character come from high class, low class? Does he explore/adventure for the fun of it, or for pay? Cynical, good-natured? Any family?"

If no one thinks the blog thing is a good idea or you just don't want to participate, let me know and I will remove you from the list.

Anyway, let's give Pete some ideas about our characters by commenting to this post.

Thought this might be useful

Hey everyone, I thought perhaps a blog might be useful to discuss various things. Peter asked me a question about something which is what got me thinking about this. All of us can post here and all of us should be informed when a new post or comment is made.
