Hey all,
I'm starting a 5e group for some friends from work. Many of them are first time players. I had each of my PCs come up with a character concept and a bit of a backstory to bring with them to a character creation session. I like to incorporate my PCs pasts into the game. I'm usually pretty decent at this, but one of my players has an idea that I'm not coming up with any ideas for and I'd like to pick the internet's brain.
She's playing a dragonborn barbarian. Her clan (tribe, lineage, whatever) is connected to a brass dragon that was well known for betraying his allies during a high profile adventure. The dragon was discovered and killed, but the damage was done. As such, the PCs clan gets a lot of crap from the others. She seeks to redeem her clan's honor. Basically, anything that her clan does immediately gets overshadowed by the Betrayer. So, she takes up an alias and sets out into the world to do honorable deeds. She's not told me her plan, but I assume at some point she will reveal her true lineage. Until then, she wants to keep it a secret.
My request is some idea to include this in my material. Since they're new to the game, I've decided to run Lost Mine of Phandelver. I'll be making changes and stuff as needed, but I like using a base module to start new players off.
One idea I had related to Venomfang in the module. Would it make sense for a green dragon to have heard the legend of brass dragons? Would it also make sense for Venomfang to potentially know that she is descended from the Betrayer (be it through deduction or some other means)?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
