TL;DR: Liam is a washed-up university sports star who never quite made it anywhere due to his temper and party animal spirit. He like to gamble and is quite good at darts, pool, and cards. He has traditional conservative values, shows others southern hospitality and cracks the crudest jokes but tones it way down when there is a lady present. He speaks with a Texas twang, wants to buy a dog, and is only in the party to fulfill his court obligated community service for participating in hooliganism and rioting after his favorite team lost the championship. Community service to which he showed up way under prepared with a grocery bag full of snacks for lunch, his lucky darts and pool cue, a deck of cards just in case, and a six pack of beer to get him through the day.
Backstory: Liam Hoss is from a small out of the way country town at least a three-hour journey by foot to the nearest town or an entire day to the city. His parents owned a small ranch and in order to provide the best for him enrolled and his older sister in grade school. During these formative years Liam became obsessed with sports hoping to become a famous athlete one day. He even tried out for a few different national leagues after playing several different sports at university. Despite giving it his all his wild party animal lifestyle or more often than naught his mouth ruined any chance of him making it onto any team. As he got older, he became more and more apathetic towards anything but daily drinking at the local watering hole after work and cheering on his favorite teams. These coping mechanisms eventually failed to contain years of bottled rage and pent-up frustration. In a blind fury he along with several other hooligans rioted destroying a local pub, overturning a horse drawn carriage, set fire to the university dormitories, and thrashed several innocent bystanders in a drunken riot. The judge, being a fan of the same team and similarly feeling robbed of the championship, released him on probation with the condition that he would have to do community service by joining a local adventuring party.
Appearance: Before you is a very large man built like a barn with short brown hair and green eyes. Although they are pudgy and round under it all they are tough with hard muscle making them surprisingly agile. They are adorned in a jersey to their favorite sports team, a fanny-pack, and carrying a grocery store bag of supplies along with a random pool cue.
Personality: I never pass up a friendly wager, my language is as foul as an otyugh nest because I love a good insult, even one directed at me; and to me, a tavern brawl is a nice way to get to know a new city.
Ideal: Team. My city, nation, and team are all that matter. (Any)
Bond: I idolize an athlete of the old tales and measure my deeds against that person’s, and I’ll never forget the crushing defeat my favorite team suffered or the enemies who dealt it.
Flaw: Once I start drinking, it’s hard for me to stop because my hatred of my enemies is blind and unreasoning which, despite my best efforts, causes me to be unreliable to my friends and I’d rather eat my armor than admit when I am.
Very interesting character! I think this could make for some fun roleplaying and combat!
Feel free to have them as a player or NPC for your game!
I am rolling up one Character sheet a week until I have a mono-class generic Character for each class. I want to keep them around for my new players or those dropping in on my next campaign for just a session or two. I currently have:
Sir Hans Sloan, based on the real life Sir Hans Sloan, a Human Rogue who is a horrible person who happens to be building a collection of artifacts to donate to the public for the establishment of a museum in Cormyr which offsets their evil personality making them neutral - https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/class-forums/rogue/210528-torils-greatest-museum-curator
And with that I now have a level 1-20 templated character for each class in 2024 I can use for a one shot or for people just drop in to play a game without a character. For those interested here are links to the other builds.
Since my main is an Alchemist, I didn't build one for the Artificer. I cannot wait for the UA to complete but hope they change Experimental Elixir. I suppose having one nearly completely useless ability isn't terrible.

I love paleontology, and I hope to become a paleontologist in the future.
Sadly, I am not a dinosaur, nor is my name really Gregory.
I am a little crazy. I eat pineapple on pizza, and I enjoy it! 🍍🍕 PM the word Avocado
