I commonly go by Velocifaptor most of the time though. I played WoW for several years as a Elemental Shaman and Shadow Priest, priest during bc when they were mana battery's and Shaman PvPing in Wrath on a wizardcleave comp.
I played a Bard in FFXI and I played a rogue in Pathfinder tabletop.
My favorite character ive made in a D20 system was a Ratfolk rogue in Pathfinder, me and my brother played as twins that were rogues. For those unfamiliar with the Pathfinder rules for them they count as flanking an opponent if more than one fights in the same tile. It was super fun stacking super teamwork feats and always sneak attacking, and mighty fun roleplaying since the combat style fit two inseparable sneaky brothers!
Anyway nice to meet you all, I love fantasy RPG's , I love working in groups and I LOVE picking the OP party member everyone loves having around, im kind of a peacock when it comes to to making my presence known in a party ha ha.

Well met and welcome to Neverwinter!
I mostly play arcane classes in PnP D&D and MMOs. My last PnP D&D Character however, was a Ranger, "Methos of the Wolf." Unfortunately, he got nick-named "Meat of the Wolves," due to a mis-pronunciation of his name...

Very intriguing. Wererat rogues are now intergral part of neverwinter city(both NPC and PC) with their own gang, background and stuff. Those sneaky monsters are worse than dragons...

And their own theme too.
Dead Rat Deserter
"Me? Betray the gang?" I said. Then the steel came out, and I barely made it away with my skin. Prerequisite: Human, half-elf, or halfling
The port city of Luskan squats along the northern frontier of the Sword Coast. It is a den of thieves and murderers that attracts criminals like moths to a bright-burning flame. Luskan is controlled by a consortium of gangs, war chiefs, and would-be rulers, few of which last more than a season. The Dead Rats are one of the exceptions. That thieves? guild has earned the respect and fear of the populace through a campaign of intimidation. Its members are known for their stealth, their ruthlessness, and their treachery. It is rumored?correctly?that the most deadly members of the gang are wererats. Like the creatures from which they derive their power, the Dead Rats can penetrate any safe house, no matter how secure. Initiation into the gang involves a blood ritual with one of these wererats, imbuing members of the guild with a sneaky and twitchy demeanor, particularly on nights of the full moon. Every member of the gang is fiercely loyal to a captain named Toytere?a halfling bard noted for his ability to see the future. Whether he truly possesses such sight or not, ?King Toy? has never fallen to any of the attempts made to overthrow him. He has frequently rooted out would-be betrayers before they act, and he punishes anyone who attempts to leave the gang. However, your own split from the Dead Rats was a more complicated affair. It wasn?t that your last job went bad. Not exactly. You made off with less than you expected, but like a good Rat, you gave over the one-quarter share due to King Toy and resolved to enjoy the rest. The next night, when you returned to your safe house, you were taken prisoner by wererat marauders and brought before King Toy. The halfling accused you of planning a mutiny and expected you to understand his need to purge his gang of disloyalty. His bodyguards drew their steel. Much blood was shed that night, but you escaped?barely alive and thanking Tymora for your good fortune. You fled Luskan, nigh penniless and with only the tools of your trade to your name. Your destination was the nearest safe haven you could manage?the comparatively civilized city of Neverwinter, several days? journey to the south. Exhausted, not knowing whom to trust, you thought at last that you had found somewhere to rest and ply your trade once more. Any good thief could spot the coin to be made or taken in this disorderly city. Perhaps your flight from Luskan was good fortune in disguise?you won?t have the gang?s dubious protection here, but you?ll be free to keep all of your booty. Here you could build up wealth and power, and perhaps eventually return to Luskan to take your revenge on those who had wronged you. Well, that was your plan before you got here, anyway.

I tend to prefer arcane classes (wizards first) but it it can be fun to role-play, you'll likely see me playing it with an interesting backstory.
If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask us, as we're a very welcoming community.
Look forward to more of your posts soon!

Rabbit eats knights, knights eat dragons, dragons eat rabbit (not linked due to graphical nature).
Rock paper Scissors.
Rabbit Knight Dragons.
