Well fresh from getting my first character sorted I've had a thought on what I'd like my second to be.
Basic concept would be an older man, out of shape, late 40s probably who's an academic and pretty much incapable of looking after himself. A student of history, archaelogy, anthropology etc. Very distracted, very forgetful but get him talking about his chosen fields and you'll never get him to shut up. Finally getting tired of acedemia and the lack of excitement it brings he's looking to head out and see what the world and its past have to offer him.
However, for this idea to work he's going to need someone to look after him out there in the dangerous wilderness, someone preferably with a strong back who isn't averse to a little digging now and then.
So if that little summary piques your interest please let me know and I'll see about getting his CS together
