A close second in terms of experience to Fritz, Strider has won (and lost) the hearts of many along his path in life. He started life as a Ranger, and oh how his dual short-swords sparkled as he whirled them around and around! But a chance encounter with an evil artifact allowed an evil outsider to invade Strider's body, taking control and forcing him to commit many heinous acts. Eventually his friend Fritz devised a way to save him, but the evil energies flooding through his body had cost Strider his health. Dying, accursed by many from the brutal acts wrongly committed in his name, Strider gave in to despair. But in the world of fantasy, nothing is impossible, not even magically creating a new body for the spirit of Strider to inhabit! His health saved, he nevertheless felt great guilt for the crimes his past body had committed, and he has retired from the adventuring life. Thankfully, we've been able to convince him to come out of hiding and play some BloodBall with his old friends!
