I’m playing 5e dungeons and dragons. My character is starting at level 4 and I want to build a character influenced by the main character to the movies desperado and once upon a time in Mexico. I’ve narrowed the possible races down to half elf, human, and Tabaxi since the Tabaxi are from a place influenced by Mexico, central, and South America. I think I’d prefer half elf though because I’m a little tired of playing Tabaxi characters. The characters backstory is that he was once a member of a traveling group of musicians that secretly assassinated and spies on the people they were entertaining. Although money was the main factor my specific character took more of a political interest and never took jobs that could potentially influence politics in a way that he disagreed with. Eventually he settled down, got married, and had children, but it was in his nature to still perform and to still travel so occasionally he took jobs to settle his restlessness. One day a skeleton in his closet emerged in the form of a revenge hungry politician that was appearantly not actually assassinated. The politician forced him to watch as his family was tortured to death. With his spirit broken he received the worst punishment of all. He was allowed to live knowing that his own actions brought this upon his family. Now he has decided to finish the job and actually assassinate the politician, but he needs to develope a plan first. In the meantime he is adventuring in hopes of gathering allies willing to help. My dm has said he will definitely give me a shot to get my revenge in between adventures, and any of my group that wants to help can tag along. He also said he will plan for it to be a decent sized group so if no one wants to help I may end up going on a suicide mission which I’m ok with. Obviously I should take bard, but I don’t know what college to take or if there are any specific options, MC, feats, specific spells, or otherwise, that would help build upon my characters concept. Possible flaws are that I’m headstrong and never back down or that I have a soft spot for protecting the innocent often putting myself into great danger. Obviously this isn’t exactly the character or the story from the movies, but it’s inspired by them. If you want more details please feel free to ask and I will answer. Thanks.
