Looks like Andy is going to run Zorcerer of Zo sometime soon. We’re finishing up making characters (all kids from the “real world” visiting fairytale land). Here’s mine:

Calvin J. Hobbes
Expert (+4) Fabulous Fairy Friend Ferdinand
Good (+2) Lie Like the Dickens
Good (+2) Fierce as a Falcon
Good (+2) Think Soaring Thoughts*
Poor (–2) Throws Like a Girl

Wears a cap with a falcon’s feather in it, carries a dagger, followed around by his little fairy friend.

Calvin is a sensitive waifish blond kid, always teased for crying at sad movies, playing with dolls, spending all this time with his nose buried in a book, and not being any good at sports. He doubted his courage until his fabulous fairy friend Ferdinand (who is very wise, just ask him) explained how it takes more courage to be who you really are than to act the way everyone expects. He gave Calvin his falcon-feather cap, which Cal thought gave him courage, until he learned it really came from within. Ferdinand also taught Calvin how to use that incredible imagination of his. Now Calvin says, let people think what they want: he can fly!

See, by the name, I assumed he'd be followed around by a walking, talking tiger. :D

What a fun character.

Well I thought "Robin" and "Peter" were a little too on the nose and it was the first alternative that came to me...

The Zorcerer is pleased, and demands updates as they occur.

(Seriously, though: the combination of the core PC concept, the fab fairy friend, and the message is New and Improved Lquid Awesome with Extra Zing! Crystals.)

The Zorcerer will give everyone in your group a free Hero Point if you post this to the ZoZ Yahoo Group.

Can I snag a copy of this for the ZoZ wikipedia character files? Properly attributed to you of course.
