D&D 5E Which of these backstories do you think could be most interesting to play?

[GMMichael]

1. The great-grandson of a sly and power-hungry necromancy scholar . . .
2. A member of a clan of dragonborn living in the Shadowfell . . .
3. A young noble set to inherit his late father's estate . . .

Please, not the dragonborn. The only way to have more favoritism on your side in D&D than playing a dragonborn is to play a dungeonborne dragonborn.

But come on, all those Blacksmiths sons were adopted and are really heirs to Wizard or kings and all have the skill to forge their own magic swords

why cant we just get some nice simple pig-farmers ;P

Agreed. If you pick a random person from a medieval world, it's probably going to be a farmer of some sort. If you rolled your attributes, you're already agreeing, to some degree, that you're playing a random person in that world.

Speaking of random: DarkMoon could just roll a d6.
