Weeeeell, i might have some ideas. You really seem to be into the archery alot, so maybe more of a hunter role. Something thats a bit nature loving, though with a hint of bad-a**ness.
Maybe a bounty hunter who used to be a druid. Something along the lines of your characters village and surrounding forest that kept said village well was felled in one night by an army of something and that led to you becoming a hunter in order to track down the ones responsible, or just to bring peace to your own self for letting it happen.
I don't have any garb ideas, though i'll keep an eye out for anything good.

For the (unnecessary) drama, I'm pretty sure.
What fantasy book have you read where the characters don't have death to people/things close to them either in the prologue, first couple chapters, or implied in their unwritten backstory? Tis a fantasy thing, I think.
Doesn't make it a necessity though, in any case.

Eh, just an idea and not a static one at that. I personally love giving out "ideas" and letting the person using them make it their own in some way.
Besides, if it were just as simple as: "He was a random traveler who decided to stay." Would you be interested in that person's character at all?
That's why i think rook should come up with an awesome background story, cause he's fricken awesome and needs one! XD

Time for something useful: First of all, Giggles said he wanted to be a human, so we might as well role with it. I could see you picking up the battle priest kinda character pretty easily, considering it would give you a great opportunity to ham it up with battle-recited prayers and the creative freedom to develop a unique deity, or just to go with a fantasy/real world one already around. Either way, there is enough material to fill a TB, you just have to look. As for garb, I know you're a slight guy, but chainmaille is so fitting for a battle priest role. Wearing a tabard over it with the symbol of your deity can enhance the badassery. (see attached picture for example). Doesn't have to look exactly like that, just an example. This, is of course, only my humble opinion. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cdn.gpotato.eu/marketing/portal/allods/News_Allods_Cleric.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.mmorpg-info.org/allods/healers-and-templars-in-allods-online/&usg=__oFAfZle-IFVXYvF57q4IaMsuy7w=&h=499&w=400&sz=147&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=uUms1KE7KdCcdM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=98&ei=h1NGTdmKA8L6lwfrr93vDw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcleric%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D900%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C570&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1051&vpy=7&dur=489&hovh=251&hovw=201&tx=115&ty=182&oei=h1NGTdmKA8L6lwfrr93vDw&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=96&ved=1t:429,r:24,s:0&biw=1920&bih=900

Elves do smell funny though. And like to hug trees for some reason....

Point to Kotaro And for the record, I don't cause cancer either, and a loved one didn't die to cause me to come to Mittelmarch. The mists brought me of their own accord. But I'm only a friend and ally, not a resident, so perhaps its not my place to speak.

I'll settle this: EVERYTHING causes cancer. Elves just have their own, special, highly toxic version.
I killed a lot of families to get to Mittelmarch, is that the other side of the coin?
