[QUOTE="jayaint, post: 1381394, member: 6154"] I had a dwarven wizard to play, and never got around to it. We play in a pretty high powered campaign setting, so backstories like mine aren't uncommon. Basically, during a siege of one of the Dwarvish Keeps, my character's mother was huddled with the rest of the women and children, as the tide of the battle had turned for the worse. Due to the help of an adventuring party who was trapped there, fighting alongside the dwarves, an avatar of Mystra (or fill in the name of your god of magic) comes strolling through the crowd, going to help the fight. She stops, looks at my char's mother, and touches her swollen belly. She whispers something softly and then proceeds to go get the clan out of trouble. My character grows up with this hanging over his head, and kind of hates magic, and feeling so different from all his dwarven peers, but feels the ability in himself. Then one day, ol' avatar lady shows up again, and pulls him out the deep dark keep, and shows him how powerful he can become if he leaves his closed-minded brethren and becomes an adventurer. So with half of him longing for home, he sets out to take on the world. Makes for a little bit of drama and gives a couple of hooks for DMs. [/QUOTE]
