Grew up as the adopted son of local blacksmith. Fell in with a group when they banded together helping save lives when an awoken Demigod was rampaging through the city (he was delivering horse shoes to the stable of a local inn when things went sideways). I had been itching to do an "in medias res" start to a campaign, and it worked out great!We had a lot of fun with the  the further he got from the town (where he was known, so no one have him a second look anymore) the more people reacted to a 7' tall Dragonborn. Until he got to the city of Grey hawk, where people again barely reacted to him again. He really made hay out of the blacksmith bit, and I let him run with it. He and the group became the owners of a mine that had Adamantine - which led to great places. By the end of the arc he and the rest of the group were exploring the world in their acquired flying ship, and had "accidentally" freed a Greyhawk Lich (Lich variant that possess bodies) and his horde, all occupying construct bodies (which eventually led to Warforged in my Greyhawk) and the epic conclusion to that problem.The fact that he was a Dragonborn led to a lot of small interactions but nothing to the overall in arc itself, it's his contribution that was interesting and cool. Honestly, I had thought of introducing a family arc or somesuch. But things moved so well organically that it never even came up.</blockquote>
