Good evening eloquen/tg/entlemen, myself and my girlfriend are about to start a 3.5 game and we are making char's in tandem. I'm an experienced rp'er but she is kinda new, shes got char concepts down but not quite the role-play aspect.

Ill be playing a lock/fighter (utilifighter anti-mage concept) L/E with a mafiosio type thing goin on where instead of italians its warlocks and the reason hes out questing is part of the initiation into the 'family' is you have to have a certain amount of wealth and influence to be a valued member.

She is going to be playing a Paladin, an impoverished noble of some type whose reason for questing is to not only improve the family name but acquire enough wealth to reinvigorate the estate.

What is /tg/'s ideas for palidan char? race, attitude background? I dont really play pallys ever so any ideas would be good times.

what are other tandem chars have you guys done in the past?

TL DR help come up with a concept for an impoverished noble paladin
