Message: <blockquote data-quote="hopeless" data-source="post: 8243593" data-attributes="member: 36349">Okay I'll try.First character is based on Buffy or rather Bridget d'Summerville a Paladin who was eventually turned to mush by a black dragon I don't recall any of her back story.Second character Heron Darkwintre the son of a Scornubel merchant who chose to recognise the child of his mistress and have his then wife basically committed where she gave birth to the son he never knew about.He was raised by her family left thinking his mother now in a covent was responsible eventually discovering the truth for himself and the intent was he would visit her and help her leave that covent so she could spend the rest of her life free of their idiocy.He was killed whilst visiting a Church to Helm at the hands of an assassin posing as a cleric of Helm and was subsequently raised and afterwards I still feel I should have declined as it was clear then I was playing second fiddle to another new divine character just introduced but his player was more popular.I discarded quite a bit of his back story in an effort to improve, but my next character Vall a Herbalist was intended to be an exiled malformed wood elf banished to another world following her son's death.Well actually my DM decided to change his game's setting so my Knowledge domain Cleric was briefly a Cleric of Ioun instead of a variation of Sehanine Moonbow.He then had my then character's reason for adventuring answering a call for aid from her son by apparently killing said npc off and after we finished his opening adventure revealed none of it was important to his campaign so why involve my character's backstory in your fiery mess then?Sorry I added her being banished from another world to give the character a reason to continue running but that involved me running a game in Exandria to pull off and apparently he liked it so much he decided his campaign was now on Exandria which is when I quit the group.Backstories can be fine, DM's however are a different matter.</blockquote>
