Making my first characters ever and just having fun making character ideas before committing to 1.

I have a rock gnome named Popu. A traveling sorcerer that works odd jobs on his travels and enjoys learning about new places and making friends wherever and whenever he can. A cheerful gnome with a large bushy (tombstone) mustache. His ancestor is a blue dragon, so lightning flavored spells are preferred. He looks down on his enemies and anyone who opposes his friends. I am kind of picturing a that scene from Mortal Kombat, the movie where Raiden's eyes glow and he holds up his finger with the lightning, and he says, "I don't think so" 🎶

My other character idea is basically a Leonin Fighter that is a dragoon from Final Fantasy Tactics mixed with Kumari Ronso from FFX. Would be a protective big brother type to the party that would follow a God or Goddess that wants him to champion their will (haven't really decided which God to choose for this one). Would wield a cool spear or glaive. I imagine he would move quickly in battle and jump high being a cat to do down strikes like a pogo stick on enemies.

Any ideas for completion or flavor?
