Shar has been one of my longer lived characters. Born on the world of Raff, a face to face, play on Friday nights type, AD&D 1st edition world based on the Norse mythos. The DM runs two campaigns, one for the goods and one for evil. Shar plays on the evils. She started her career as an assassin. I think that is why she is one of my longer lived characters, she knows when to hide or flee! Sometime early in her life she found herself stranded on the plane of Gladsheim. Lucky for her Loki shows up and not only spares her life but GIVES her a sword which is darn powerful. It is one of those suck swords that draws so much spell levels per day from spells cast on her. This sword helped her get where she is today. She was a lowly 8th level when she participated in the yearly good/evils battle that joins both sides(old players actually come from out of state to play) in a titanic struggle that usually drains the DM. Shar kept her head down and marched across the battle field looking for goodies to grab. One of the good knights in the battle named Diocide falls to a mighty blow from an evil guy with a vorpal sword. Those are nasty! Anyway, Shar is close enough to grab the body and shove it in her portable hole before anyone else can. Well, that really makes her day and career because this Diocide character was loaded with great gear. Shar landed a dagger that attacked with a +10 to damage with a 1d6 to normal sized characters. Along with the dagger she picked up bracers and belt of the type that give you storm giant strength. Anyway, to make a long story shorter she lives through Ragnarok and is still in play. Here are some more details. All her stats have been modified by wishes and other god like gifts.
Ahhh! She died! Killed by a black Dragon while she was in the attempt to slay five 20th level Wizards. Oh well. She died in battle.
