[@Oddsbod] I'm thinking about a huntsman who eschews bow and arrow for traps using magical charms to hunt abnormal and strange magical creatures. Would that fly?

Also, can half-elves and half-goblins exist in this world?

I think a woodsperson/trapper would be a neat idea, yeah, going into that survivalist territory.  Charms for trapping monsters would also work out, sure.    

For your second question, yes, they can, and while a goblin/human would raise some but not that much prejudice, a half-elf would probably be treated as some kind of freaky changeling-child by most Invernish.  That said, due to a combination of my past experiences with half-X players and my personal experiences with mixed heritage, I will have some very, very high standards if anyone wants to make one for a character.  Basically, if someone can come up with something interesting where removing the half-elf or half-goblin side of the character would significantly impact their identity, I met let one of these characters in.  

[@wxps350] Selfish opportunist, seems cool.  I like his set up too, actually bouncing carelessly between the two factions, should make for some fun relationships with any other Army/Legion characters.  Comparing caring for living parents to keeping old graves tended is a nice look into his mindset as well, that was a cool touch.

Some things I'm not super clear on with the history.  Why was he not allowed to actually see his parents?  Who was raising him, if his parents were so sick?  Did they raise her when he was young, then fall sick? If he couldn't keep a cent of the money he earned, how did he afford basic living?

On the later living, why was there a soldier garrison just hanging out at the edge of town?  You mentioned Forbhin and his mentor didn't join the Army of Heroes until the war broke out, but any trained party of soldiers would probably be working under the Army.  

You mentioned they eventually switched sides to the Legion, but after a battle where the Legion crushed Army forces, Forbhin ends up stealing an Army insignia and pretending to be in the Army, and labels his master as a Legion soldier.  I'm not sure why there're Army of Heroes soldiers cleaning up the leftover of a big fight if they were the ones who were massacred.  I'd also like to see a bit more on why they jumped ship to the Legion.

You'll also need the short personality description to go with the bullet points.  

Otherwise, I like where this character is going, seems like a lot of fun to write, and bounce off of other characters with.
