Okay, I have a character concept. I'm thinking of an apothecary/merchant character who comes from a long line of shrine maidens and priests who look after a well-known ish temple (depending on GM approval, but nothing major) who was basically told to get lost because she showed no interest or aptitude for the life. As a result, she has a low opinion of others and doesn't think she has family or a place to call home (hint: this is where it gets cheesy and The Power of Friendship® comes in and our ragtag crew become her family.) Although she is well meaning her combative wit and (more than occasional) moments of greed tend to cause the group some trouble. She'd probably use a Naginata for combat purposes. As for her arrest? She was caught selling without a trading pass near one of the borders, which she usually would've gotten away with but with the recent increase in military patrols? Rip.
If you're not a fan of the concept or if there is just a lot more interest and you don't think there is space for me however, I completely understand will definitely wait my turn in the queue for a spot.
