Message: <blockquote data-quote="Z. H. Darkstar" data-source="post: 6895401" data-attributes="member: 6746780">Flakka, my VHuman Barbarian, uses the Inheritor background with the Far Traveler PT/F/B/I. I play him in an AL game, so I used the AL rulings on Inheritance and background customization to have him know Deep Speech and have a shield that acts like a candle when the command word (in Deep Speech) is spoken. He comes from a long line of drug abusers who discovered the shield a long time ago. His parents, Krystoll and Meffe, thought it to simply be a fancy cooking pan with straps until one day their incoherent, drug-addled babbling accidentally spoke the command word and activated the shield. After his parents' lifestyle led to their inevitable demise, Flakka began his quest to find the drugs that killed his parents so that he may be reunited with them on the plane of existence that their souls went. Being the "smartest" (with a whopping 8 Int) member of his lineage, he realized that the cooking pan was actually a shield and began using it as such. The more time he continued to wield the shield, the more he began to understand the language used to activate it.While he does have a set of clothes that came with the background, he only wears them when absolutely necessary by societal standards. In combat, he prefers to be the living embodiment of Unarmored Defense, utilizing the full range of motion of nudity to deftly avoid being struck. For the musical instrument, I went with bagpipes.I forget what I chose for Ideal and Bond, as I don't have my sheet in front of me. However, I do clearly remember his Personality Traits and Flaw.PT: I don't know what is or isn't food in this new land. I express adoration and contempt in strange ways. (These have led to many an instance of teabagging and face-eating of fallen enemies.)F: I am enamored with all of the new intoxicants of this strange land.</blockquote>
