Character concepts come from a myriad of sources. Sometimes we take an idea that is tried, tested and true. On other occasions we branch out and try new builds. Of course loading up Character Builder and looking for the optimal combination of class, race and feats can be a lot of fun and very satisfying.

For many character concepts we draw inspiration for a variety of sources. Whether this is fiction, personality quirks, or mastery of a weapon this single concept can lead to a deep and complex character.

A Lyrander airship travelling from Stormreach to Sharn is blown off course and crashes on an uncharted island in the Thunder Sea. The ship is damaged beyond repair and her captain is killed in the crash. The passengers, all strangers, must work together to survive. It dosen’t take long for the surviving passengers to learn two important things: 1) the island itself seems to be alive, teeming with magic; and 2) they are not alone.

Imagine that the popular ABC television show Lost takes place in the Dungeons & Dragons world of Eberron. How might the established canon of the show remain intact while adapting it for 4e D&D? Below is the D&D re-imagining of three of the main characters from the show.
