Earning the childhood name "Glutton", Grath liked to eat. A favored treat was a good batch of Bogberries, a green highly acidic fruit abundant in his native marshes. When reaching adulthood, Grath's rather large size made him a perfect candidate to be a warrior for his clan. Once on a small campaign against a particularly nasty bunch of grassy gnolls, Grath's company was ambushed. When the rest charged heroically to their doom, Grath tripped and tumbled into a river. It saved his life-- But would bring great dishonor to his clan and family. Ashamed, Grath set off into the world so that those he held dear would never know of the shame he brought upon them.His vast girth and size made Grath an effective mercenary and bodyguard, eventually finding regular work for a noble family in a big city. Grath has come to enjoy his life-- different then it was supposed to be, maybe, but life in the big city has it's boons. His greatest feat is his family ever finding out that he is still alive, and his greatest love, well...Grath still loves to eat.---The obvious choice for a background would be Soldier. It reflects both his early martial training as well as his recent occupation. The soldier background gives us proficiency in Athletics and Intimidation. The background also comes with a Military Rank feature, which will be a simple grunt, or foot soldier.For his class, we're going to go with Fighter. We want him to excel at defensive fighting. His girth implies he's not very dexterous, but has great vitality and strength. As additional skills we'll pick up Survival to reflect his past in the bogs, and Perception to underline the idea that he's a little paranoid of encountering his own kin.His 1st level Fighting Style will be Defense, adding to his ruggedness. For his equipment, we want to boost his defenses as much as possible. He'll wear a Chain Mail armor and a sturdy Longsword, as well as a Shield. As flavor, he'll wear the crest of the house he protects on his shield and tabard.His Draconic Ancestry will be the Copper Dragonflight. His appearance will only reflect the brown color with green hues, but not the metal sheen. We want him to look grounded. His Breath Weapon will be flavored to be an Acid Belch, coming from a bubbling stomach fueled by the acidic bog berries of his native lands. As such, he will only be able to use his Dragonborn ability if he has access to this special diet. It makes him a little less magical, and a little more gross.His Abilities will focus on being a walking wall, favoring Strength and above all, Constitution. We want Intelligence and Charisma to be low. He's not the brightest or most charming dragon in the roost. You also might have to be a bit stupid to stand firm in combat and take the blows! We'll keep his Dexterity low as well. He's a big fellow, not very agile. We want his Wisdom to be decent, to reflect experience.</blockquote>
