Here you can find a few AD&D FUDGE characters that I've been testing lately. I've tested them
mainly in CLN Esencia 2000 (a big local RPG Con), and with them I'm testing both the system of FUDGE and the conversion to FUDGE-AD&D I am working in.

Adrian Bark
Adrian is a young lupin adventurer (the lupines is a race of canine humanoids that mainly live as nomads in the moors of the Known World), follower of the Immortal Thor like his father before him. As a wandering cleric of Thor, he's traveled around the world living lots of adventures, helping those he found worthy of his help and facing diverse supernatural creatures.
At this moment he has joined a group of adventurers in search of glory, following Thor's example,
although its loyalty to the group is true.

Gunther Brightaxe
Gunther is an exiled dwarf of his homeland in Rockhome for reasons that he doesn't reveal not even to
his closer ones. He left his land with more or less what he had in his hand (including a full set of armor
and a wide panoply of weapons) and he ended up joining a group of wandering adventurers offering his combat
abilities for a part of the booty.
(Presumably Gunther was a guardian or soldier of some type but he failed in its duty and he tries to
purge his dishonor in combat, without worrying him too much if he lives or he dies.)

Far Ytron, Halfling thief by Xoota
Far is a halfling that since childhood, due to his great skill to make acrobatics, and his appearance
of a circus dwarf, became the main attraction of the traveling circus "Dumb oooh", con' circus that
recruited him (or they kidnapped him) when he was still a child, and since that day Far wanted to escape.
Far was trained to carry out authentic acrobatic maneuvers, besides being able to make pillages in the
small towns without being noticed. One day, a group of adventurers saw that his qualities could serve them
in the group, and that same day Far escaped, joining that group of adventurous, in which he was well welcomed.

Lotar the spy, by Yago
Lotar was a human spy serving the elf king Estlor I, of the missing Kingdom of Alfheim, clever enough as
to infiltrate in what became that territory under the control of the shadow elves.
As spy he took charge of topics like examining the strength, problems and internal disagreements of
Aengmor (the old Alfheim) till the shadow elves were expelled in turn of there for heir own brothers and
sisters who had never left the underground world. The expelled shadow elves took refuge in the human
Kingdom of Karameikos, where their cousins of Alfheim had taken refuge previously.
In spite of their past actions, Estlor I allowed them to stay, after being sworn loyalty to him by its
queen the Radiant Princess Tanadeleyo, in exchange for protection and a home.
With that peace treaty Lotar began to see that the things would not go so well for him anymore. Little
time after signing the treaty it was known that the shadow elves had been eliminating (in a sign of good
faith) some "hostile elements towards their new allies", so Lotar decided to disappear for a while, lest
their "dear" elves of Alfheim decided to follow that example.
So now Lotar travels for the continent trying to go unnoticed and having present that he's still to the
service of Alfheim, so if they found him they could commend him a mission... if they are not very annoyed
because he's been in unknown whereabouts without giving explanations...

Wilfred Arcanum
Wilfred is a wizard of the school of magic of Krakatos, a real thyatian endowed with a great intelligence
that nevertheless takes him to digress inwardly on wide topics, like irrelevant philosophical questions, for
not saying boring...
Quite bored of all the time he's spent in the laboratory learning magic, he decided to abandon the
security of Krakatos temporarily and to increase his magic skill through first hand experience, together
with a group of adventurers to which he managed to join.
