Random thoughts on my character:<br/><br/>The Red Company was the mercenary group Geiron was associated with.<del> If the DM has something already, the name can obviously change. </del>The basics: red tabard/coat/robe worn as the outer layer so the enemy can't see our wounds. Reputation as effective and pricey. Always remembers to loot,<em>then </em>pillage.<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><del>Is the Red Company still in service?</del></li><li><del>Why isn't Geiron still a member?</del></li><li>Did the caravan hire The Red Company? Yep</li><li>The Red Company has mages in their ranks. And some flavor of magic medics; priests of "The Red God"/war domain type? (A manifestation of the Red Knight, goddess of strategy<del>? Or just her boss, Tempus?</del>)</li></ul>Geiron is the name he adopted. It comes from "that guy, Ron," in reference to the name his mother gave him. So Geiron it is. (Because names are dumb like this in the old school; e.g. Medium Rary.) He's obviously smart enough to come up with something like that.<br/><br/>Grew up rough because half-orc. In a big city, one or both parents were half-orcs. Somehow hooked up with the Red Company; running errands  while a youngster and stayed with them,<del>"sold" by mother, etc. At a young age,</del>he showed them he wasn't the "cabin boy." Full membership, because either he's that badass or he replaced a member(s) stupid or weak enough to get bested by a youth. (Think an E version of the 2011 Conan opening race scene.)<br/><br/>Far too smart to just be a linebreaker, he watched and studied the red-robed spellcasters in the company.<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><del>Personal training? </del>Doubtful, he's not a spellcaster yet.</li><li>Opportunity to expand his talents may be why he<del> broke (or</del> will break, if they guard the caravan) with the Red Company.</li></ul>Anything the DM can work with here? Help refine and adapt for his world?
