This thread is for discussion of the main character. I'll keep this first post updated with the most current outline.
MAIN CHARACTER
Name: William
Age: Late teens
Gender: Male
Appearance: To be determined
Occupation: Not yet a full-fledged member of the Church, but very close to taking his vows.
Class Role: Healing and support magic at first, but is able to supplement with various other things such as melee combat, as he is not yet a Church member and thus not restricted from doing so. The player is given control over his growth, so eventually he can be anything from a full healer to a melee fighter to a spell caster.
PERSONALITY:
He is well-learned from growing up in the Church, the most prominent place of learning in this setting. Though he has natural leadership ability, he is still young and tends to slip up and make mistakes. He is also somewhat young, and this can occasionally be seen in his choice of actions. As the game progresses, he becomes not only a better leader, but more mature.
BACKSTORY:
Not much yet; I don't think we should give the main character too much backstory, as leaving it a little vague would allow the player to better relate to him, as they could envision their own sort of history for him.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER CHARACTERS:
(This section will be filled out a little later as we get the characters more worked out.)
I think right now the most important thing to come up with is a name. Any suggestions?
