Good, I'll read it in a bit to get a feel for things.  Going out to brunch with the lady love just now, though.

My character is gonna be a bard bastard type.  Father traveled and had him with some random woman.  Brought them back to his home town for his family to take care of and kept traveling.  When they were old enough, they worked as a traveling performer as well, but recently have come home because unrest in the kingdom is making travel more dangerous.

They will be one of (I assume based on the books) few people in a small village who is actually able to read, and will probably take to magic because of this.
