Currently, I have no further plans to continue this story, although I do have a related fic (The First Step) that is completed featuring another OC (original character).Originally crossposted to _fanfics_, koukakukidoutai, Fanfiction.net and my own [...]

Anyways, I’m rather enjoying the [...]
I wrote this as the orgin story for my character in a D&D 3.5 campaign a friend was running. The group I game with on Friday nights is huge - 8 players + the DM - and on our first night, the DM just tossed us into the middle of the action without figuring out [...]
