Rodney Wayton

[Frostbite]

I would consider him my first character to really stick on efu. He was a blast to play, unfortunatly tried to nab one of the people in the inbetween and got his throat slit.

Background:Rodney Wayton is a former Drill sergeant of Baron Layworth of Cormyr, Layworth was a very evil baron who served bane.
He was born in Neverwinter,His father left and mother died at childbirth. growing up on the streets gave him a sense of how chaotic the world was and how the strong survived. A Priest of bane took him under wing and showed him the true meaning that Discipline and obedience to the black hand is what is needed in the world, but that one must not be hasty in your actions but to Rise to a posistion of power, then enforcing the will of bane. Edit: To not openly attack the enemies of bane, but to thwart there every move, for open attack will serve nothing if you are destroyed. To always be prepared and to Always serve bane above all others. The priest died and he went and served in the watch, He was there for some time learning how to be a soldier, and plotting, but fled because he punched a noble for shoving him out of the way In ironicly a fit of anger.

After fleeing to cormyr, he was found by a sergeant of layworth who conscripted him, Eventually rising through the ranks and showing his previous training, he came to the rank of Master- sergeant. It also helped that the duke was worshiper of bane which he eventually found out. Preforming evil deeds and bringing down the will of the duke upon the common folk, he reveled in it. Always training the guards to follow orders and making them swear allegiance to bane.

Then the sun went out: The troops fought diligently against the hordes but eventually where enslaved or slaughtered, as was the duke. Rodney managed to escape with ten others, all who slowly died over the months, from bandits and animals or suicide. Except for rodney who pressed on, ending up finding a village and a portal.

He's not a genius but does show some smarts in what he does, (12 intel) Though as a sergeant he wasnt one to think to hard about complex situations,(10 wisdom) he does know some tactics and can handle abit of quick thinking. Strong and somewhat dextrous due to his training, Also very tough because of upbringing. (16 str, 12 dex and 16 const)
He is a dick though, but only with those that can't challenge him and also hard ass drill sergeants are not loved So I gave him -1 charisma

Rodney worked to make  a Sanctuary where the populace is afraid to even think about stepping out of line. As a banite, he wants them to fear him but more importantly the mention of bane. First by making a name for himself,Catching criminals, doing a good job with competence etc. growing to a position of power and then making his way to pushing the good churches aside, stopping every effort to spread there tidings, using the laws to his advantage because they are so ripe with interpretation. It is also his intention to become master at the longsword, and decent with everything else.

Dont have many screenshots, quite lazy when it comes to them, the few I do have are somewhat spoilers. Now back to the drawing board.

He was a character I liked OOCly, and loved to hate ICly, sadly it looks like all the old Watchers are going south.

Good job Frosty.
