Background:
Valdas was born in Lormyr to a hunter and his wife. His father tried to get him
interested in hunting and he did learn some archery skills and skills to move stealthily
in the woods. He was not really interested in being out in the woods at all seasons
waiting to try and shoot something to eat. He wanted a more comfortable existance and
seeing people in the bigger towns living better and with more ease he left his family on
good terms once he came of age. He ended up hooking up with the seedier elements in the
town as he was looking to get rich quick and improved his stealthiness some more along
with skills with a blade. He realized his hunting abilities were the perfect cover and
used his connections to put out his services as a paid assassin. He made his fortune doing
the occasional hit but was getting bored with the lawfulness of Lormyr and wanted to see
someplace more exciting. He took his possessions and chartered a boat trip to The Purple
Towns as he heard there were more opportunities there for one with his skills.

Looks good to me, you spent a good amount on your weapon skills, that's good, but you got some points elsewhere too.

i'm interested. does it matter if i don't know the story?

It would help you understand the setting/themes better if you had read some or all of the stories, but its not entirely required. You do know this is pretty dark sword and sorcery right? Stormbringer has Chaos (demon lords, not D&D demon lords) vs Law vs Balance in it..

Have you played any version of Stormbringer ? It's a d100 system if you haven't played it before.

Only 2 interested for Stormbringer? C'mon peeps, there should be more of you looking to be a part of the struggle between Chaos, Balance, and Law!

If anyone needs the rules or help, I posted some useful links in the original post or you can drop me a pm. The game is out of print, but you can buy it online or the like too. Anyhow its an excellent system based on the popular books by Michael Moorcock.
