I've been in a Role-playish mood recently and I decided to create a character for up-and-coming DnD games with my friends. However, I'm not sure if he's up to snuff and needs more personality, abilities, planning, or whatever. So here he is. If you guys have any suggestions for his development, I'd be really grateful.
Also, I'm doing this in version 3.5 of DnD. Just FYI.
Name: Estin Estuary
Race: Human
Deity: Corellon Larethian
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Estin is a Sorcerer who primarily deals with fire magic, and sometimes dabbles in mind-altering magics too. He has a magic ring that he received from his father that allows him to summon flame into his hand infinite times per day. The flame cannot hurt him and is largely ineffective in combat, and mostly functions as a lighter/torch. Estin's greatest strength is his Charisma, which allows him to cast more spells and gives him an innate way with people.
At a young age Estin took to worshipping Corellon Larethian, even though he was not an Elf. He admired the stories of the elven god and tried to live as freely and as openly as he could, emulating his deity in a roundabout fashion. This happy-go-lucky attitude towards life led him to always put a smile on his face even when things are at their worst, and he never had any trouble making friends. He took to adventuring out of a desire to see the world and to enjoy the journeys he would have.
Rebellious by nature, Estin is Chaotic and wild. He doesn't like rules or regulations, and is a free spirit at heart. He is also Good, but not to any zealous level. He just likes making other people happy, and doesn't fight for the side of Good because of any desire to protect the weak. In short, he's only a little closer to Chaotic Good than Chaotic Neutral. A dashing young charmer with blonde hair and light green eyes, he wears a red-brown wide brimmed hat with a feather in it as his signature look. He additionally wears a long cloak of the same color and wields a short sword, although he's not very adept with it. Often, he can be very clumsy and trips over obstacles and drops things at the worst moments, but he always manages to score a laugh out of onlookers.

What do you guys think? Where can I improve him, or is he already good enough as is? My goal is to make Estin a character who is great for Role-playing and adds spice to the campaign, but lacks any real power until later in the game. Any feedback would be really appreciated.
