A new adventure, a new character

Welcome back!

It has been a while since I have done any serious roleplaying lately and lately we (Mrs. K, Mr. K and Mrs. C) have been discussing a new adventure with new characters. Our main characters are now level 18 and we have been playing them for 7 years, so we thought a new adventure, from level 1, in the same world and time as our other characters would be real fun. So the last 3 days we have been toiling and planning and making characters together. Right now Mr. K and Mrs. C are on Skype discussing some information about a city that my character knows nothing about. So I have been banned to my office with a headset with music. I am therefore using these few moments to tell you about the character creation process involved in making a really, really, detailed and thought through character for a roleplay-heavy D&D 3.5 campaign.
