I may be playing in a new, monthly D&D 3.5 game set in a homebrew world. I've created a swashbuckling Fighter for the game, Neville Robideaux. I'm basing him a little bit off of Volstagg from the Thor comics (a very heavyset man, who is surprisingly spry) with a bit of an over-inflated sense of honor to make things interesting. He's starting out at fifth level, and should he survive until sixth, I'll have him take the Duelist prestige class which will give him a much-needed boost to his armor class.
NEVILLE ROBIDEAUX
BACKGROUND
In his childhood, the man today known as Neville Robideaux was a servant named Jak Terwilliger. Jak was a stableboy for the wealthy Robideaux family of nobles, and about the same age as the real Neville. During a journey near the disputed borderlands, the Robideaux caravan was attacked by a vicious band of Orcs called the Red Hand. Jak escaped death by hiding under a carriage, but the entire Robideaux family and the rest of the servants were murdered and their bodies burned in a mass pyre. Later, after the Orcs departed, Jak staggered to the nearest town. Although traumatized by what had happened, Jak had the foresight to seize on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change his station in life—claiming to be Neville Robideaux, young Jak managed to pass successfully for several years, living off the inheritance left by the elder Robideaux.
As an adult, Neville Robideaux barely remembers that his life is a lie. Although he constantly seeks for clues as to the location of the Red Hand, he fritters away time and money in the lifestyle of a minor nobleman—gambling, dancing, and getting himself into duels of honour. Although a rotund man, Neville is surprisingly agile and prone to feats of derring-do.
