I went to kr in hickory run for the mother's day event. I am Sarah Hartman. I was wearing a green head band because of my 2 cracked ribs. I hope that will jog everyone's memory. I want to be a gypsy but I need a background story. Can someone help me?

I am a slave to time and beauty. To mark the page is all my duty.

Hello, Sarah!  I do remember you.  :)

Here's some tips...

Most Gypsies wander, and don't come from a specific place, like a "civilized" person would.  The big things you would need to decide are:

Who is your family, and where are they?

Why are you in Travance?

You could be lost, and looking for a home, or you could be running away from a bad family member (such as an evil aunt that was a Necromancer).

If you're a big reader, check out books by Charles DeLint - he does a lot of Gypsy stories, which might give you some ideas.  Just don't copy them - that would be boring!

Also, something you might want to consider:

One of the old rules about gypsy racials were that gypsies had to have some kind of family curse. While this is no longer a rule, if you think of something that might fit your character and add to the flavor of RP, it might help with the rest of your story.

Hooray Gypsies!

I definately like Geoff's idea, reading or inspirations from movies are good. I came up with a few ideas that I liked and then just kind of blended them together. Just don't have a ring you have to return to Mordor, or swear you're born to bring balance to the Weave or anything  ;)

Welcome to the kin!

P.S. Charlie, Tobar doesn't need any bastard daughters, because that would be a female he couldn't hit on. And that just wouldn't jive with him, now would it?  :P

I would view Tobar fathering a daughter as poetic justice.  I'd pay good gold to see how he would react to the situation.
