Mary Worth.

Definitely Lawful, if not good, and definitely full of dark powers.

The traditional "indecipherable lengthy name intended to reflect she's from a fantasy world unlike our own" shtick runs old fast. Especially when they start throwing around the apostrophes like they're candy. Better to use a standard name and make the character's personality the focal point of innovation.

Kalie Thuzad!

I hate myself for invoking rule 63, but the idea of a necromancer calling herself Kalie makes me giglle.

Failing that, Blossom Sugarplum!

I'll be honest the reason I made so many names is because they barely matter. Even in reality I usually end up summing people by their impression and completely forget their names.

Tila Tequila.

Mary Worth is also good.

Hey, Necromancers are feared...might as well have a reason for people to run when they see her...as well as jokes involving certain things (if you know Slayers, you know what I speak of).

Just inputting my thoughts.

Mary Worth is a good one.

Now, I don't know about the original Baldur's Gate, but in the sequel, you could exploit the multiplayer system to have a single-player game with up to 6 user-defined characters in the party (sorta like in Icewind Dale).
Would make for some interesting inter-party banter if that were to be done here.

Also, people really love those dumb good brutes, don't they?

Presenting the wonderful Mary Worth in all her pre-adventure glory!

It actually didn't take me all that long to get those stats, surprisingly. Of course, the downside of being a female with 18 charisma will soon kick me in the teeth, I'm sure. Anyway, time for a plot-dump.

Welcome to Candlekeep! (We won't be staying all that long.)

And now we get a good look at our- wait a tic, is she wearing PINK?!

Hi everyone!

No. Nonono. It's bad enough you're wearing pink, but you leave that fourth wall ALONE.

Too late!

(More to come later. I'm melting right now and I've got a headache, but once it's cooled off and my medication kicks in, Candlekeep shouldn't take all that long.)
