I've never played DnD before last year. My friends were running a campaign and asked me to join. Although I loved drawing and creating characters, I wasn't used to coming up with one on the spot for DnD. In the end, Kandi (a Chaotic-neutral, half-elf criminal sorceress on the run for embezzling an assassin's guild she worked for) was born.
Totally not inspired by another character I have in my arsenal of characters...
