Session Zero Character Creation/ideas

don't know if I posted this yet,
I, Woody, woke up one morning and my parents were gone. There were no other elves I knew around, and none wanted to take in a kid. I looked and looked for my parents but they were gone. Hungry and tired I slept outside this city for months. Picking wild plants or stealing bits of food from town. One day, I got caught stealing a loaf of bread and was almost beaten to death by the shop keeper. I crawled into an alley and met a woman. She was hiding from the town guards but she forced a healing potion down me. I got up, ran into the street and kicked a guard straight in the butt. Then I had five of them chasing me. Getting away wasn't that hard, they were old and out of shape. Next time she saw me in town she pulled me aside and took me to the guild hideout. It was like heaven. Food and drink like I hadn't had in at least 2 years. She told me I could hide out here and all I had to do was help them on jobs and pay 40% of what I earned to the Guild. Until I became a full member. Then it will go down to 20%. So, I've been sleeping here, in the woods, and in the streets, ever since. I help on odd jobs as a lookout, and sometimes I am a runner, transporting stuff or messages. But in 4 or 5 years, I'll be a full member.
