      @talonblade336 Год назад

      Indeed. My tiefling warlock is from a family of merchants, but due to the natural influence of his abyssal heritage he was often in fights or some kind of trouble. One day things went too far and had to leave the town that looked down upon him (note parents are indeed alive). That is when he met his patron and devoted himself as a hexblade with promises of overcoming his abyssal blood.

    My character tend to have a very interesting backstory, commonly some kind of tragedy or whatever, truly some pretty cool stuff and then the character name would just be as generic as possible. Seriously a character I've playing in an upcoming game is called Rob, a Halfling druid that got lost in the forest and after many years became the protector of the very forest he got lost in.

      My current character is a wood elf rogue who joined a band of highwaymen out of boredom.
      The band was ambushed by guards and my character fled to a different kingdom, just in case someone talked.
      As a result, he is a rogue who refuses to join the local thieves' guild, and will not steal. He styles himself a 'consulting detective'.

      Oh, and his parents and sibling are alive and well as far as he knows.

    The party is introduced at the Inn except my character. Everyone is looking around wondering what I’m playing.
    DM: there is a large commotion outside of the inn near the caravan you have been hired to protect.
    They rush outside to see a Kinder standing on a barrel taunting the crowd that has surrounded him.
