Found some old D&D characters

We're cleaning out closets and I found a folder full of D&D characters from ~25 years ago. Here's a sampling.

Walter, neutral human fighter - sounds like he killed foes by boring them to death. However, he owned a straight razor, so maybe there's hope.

Dakkian, neutral evil half-orc cleric/assasin - My favorite character that I never got to play.

Kyle the wanderer, some mediocre GURPS character. Seemed to have lots of animal friendship spells. Hope he didn't get too friendly.

Gaelbhan h-Eoin, another faceless GURPS character

Lorendar, elven fighter, my longest played character (if you include his alter-persona Loriglynne). Made Legolas look like a little girl.

Loriglynne, ("golden eye"). Lorendar had a name change and became this character. Eventually took up magic and was a general bad-ass.

Ravelin Dyeldrene, Celtic elven bard, nuetral. Little known fact about Ravelin: spoke lizardman because those guys are idiots at poker.

Viserion, neutral good half-elven bard, can't find his instrument, aren't bards supposed to have an instrument ?

Sir Lawrence, paladin, preferred a two-handed sword

Neme'bla, neutral good half-elven fighter (another bard ?)

Crogar the Nomad, neutral barbarian. Somehow proficient with a lance.

Tamericon, another paladin. For some reason, questionable lance proficiency.

Jemal, half-elven chaotic good fighter/magic-user/thief. Yes, a triple threat.

Radon, gray elven neutral good ranger/druid, another nature lover, no doubt made during my chemistry period, has note, "Where the bird meets the lion" and "Prince Eddy".

Lorensian, neutral good elven magic-user/thief. Obviously made during my calculus period. Most powerful spell: Sleep.

Frederick, neutral good human cleric, aka Fred, the token healer

Philster, chaotic good gnome illusionist thief, *nothing* can keep out a gnome illusionist thief.

Bonus character! Written on the back of Philster:

Cre'laeh, neutral good half-elven cleric/magic-user

Bjorn, paladin, this was another of my long-played characters, spoke only Swedish

Sondra, lawful good human cleric. Bjorn's "friend". Another token healer, because lets face it, diplomacy wasn't Bjorn's strong suit. The "lay your hands on me" jokes never ended.

Duke Myrdek, fighter/magic-user/thief, at least level 9 in each class, "third wheel" to the Bjorn/Sondra pair, why did such a high level Duke hang around them ?

Kinkaid, chaotic good half-elven cleric/magic-user, IIRC this guy was fairly resourceful, written on the back, some sort of class schedule:

eng
math
phys (PE ?)
flute (yes, I played once)
gov
tech (TA?)

Jafe, chaotic neutral elven assasin, you can't have too much fun with an assasin

Merlynne, neutral good human magic-user. Started out lawful good. Wonder what happened there.

Lenerian, chaotic evil magic-user/thief, another from my "angry" period

Aethelred, chaotic neutral elven fighter/magic-user/thief, pretty cool name, huh ?, had a +2 "undead slayer" and a Wand of Frost which he called, "Shlitz".

Beordine, neutral human fighter/thief-acrobat. IIRC he was a wear-bear but the sheet doesn't mention it. Apparently wanted to keep it a secret from the other players...

Next post: sci-fi characters!
