Huge backstory dump incoming let me know what I need to change if it doesn’t work for you:
backstory:
Its not easy being the chosen. Everybody seems to think that being the chosen vassal to a deity is this amazing boon but let me be the first to tell you... It complicates everything. Its never the people who prepare their whole lives for the honor of being chosen who are in fact chosen, its always some random idiot like myself who happens to do one thing right at just the right time when a deity is feeling giving. That was me, I did one thing right. I didnt wake the slumbering dragon, and now I am riding the fastest horse I could find out of my home town as a banished traitor. This is a story that needs some context so lets start from the beginning.
When I was very small I received a job in my home town of paradise. It is not uncommon for children to work in paradise, never back breaking hard labor but often religious work. Cleaning the temples, tending to the temple gardens, cooking in the palace, and a very "lucky" select few become Acolytes of Red. I was one of this select few who was chosen to work directly with Dracul, the Red Conqueror, the Lord of Lands and Sky, Penultimate Defender of this Physical Realm and Beyond, and Courier of Prosperity. Yes I know, thats quite a title but I would argue it best to remember it. Along with me there was Terrance Cindercrest (Red Kobald), and Gerald Moors. Our literal very first day involved meeting Dracul herself, mind you we were 8 and they are a Collossal Red Dragon-God that rules over the town that we grew up in (a town that nobody in their right mind would attack because they areso powerful that whole armies would be immolated before the first horn sounded). They asked us to recite the title, and we did flawlessly as it is the first thing parents in Paradise teach their children when they start speaking. After our orientation, which was presented by Dracul, our lives became more simple and we fell into roles over the next few years. Terrance was a skilled tactician and a genius on the battlefield, it was decided that he would train to become the head of the Torch guard, Dracul's personal guard. Gerald had a mind for politics so to speak and by the time he was eleven he had become a part of the Conqueror's Advisory Council, he was the youngest in history. I took the longest to receive my placement, I was the smartest of the three children and also the quietest on my feet. But these were not skills that those in charge knew how to place, some said I should be a spy in foreign lands but that would never have worked because I am not the most adept speaker. Some said I should run the royal library, and I actually did do that one for some time. But one day some fool went to take Dracul their food and slipped into the lava pools.
Here is the thing about feeding a dragon-god whose mood is a mystery to all but them, nobody wants to do it. If you make even the slightest peep on a day when they are sleeping come lunch time you were as good as ash. So heres the problem, idiot falls in lava, so does the god-chow. Dracul still needed to be fed but nobody wanted to be the one to bring them food. So I did something almost as dumb as falling in lava, I volunteered to bring them food. To my surprise Dracul was asleep when I entered their chambers, so I dropped off the food and left back to my library. Then I did it again for dinner, and again Dracul was asleep. The next day I received a summons from Dracul, clearly I had messed something up and was to be ash within the hour. When I approached the chambers Terrance let me in and he gave me this look like... "Im so sorry man." We had always been good friends Terrance and I, but now I am a dead man so that doesnt matter anymore I guess. I walked the narrow path flanked by lava that lead to the massive muscle and scale form that is Dracul, my heart thumping the whole time. They watched me with one great golden eye the whole time I approached without ever even lifting her head from where it rest upon their house sized clawed feet. When I passed beyond the path I gave a deep bow as was customary and said "I answer your summons Dracul, the Red Conqueror, the Lord of Lands and Sky, Penultimate Defender of this Physical Realm and Beyond, and Courier of Prosperity." There was a long silence before she finally spoke,
"Rise." They said. It was only then that I realized I was still bowing. Dracul told me that they had called me in because they were pleased with me. I had volunteered when others would not, and whats more I then completed the task without waking them, TWICE. "It has been long since I have taken a chosen as my siblings so often do, but you I like you." It was then that they opened their mouth and a gout of white hot flame washed over my body. I felt the flesh melt from my bones, I felt my bones snap under the immense heat of this Dragon-gods breath. The pain was unending, I could see my flesh bubble before dripping off, and I would have screamed but the flames took the very oxygen from my lungs. I felt the very life leave me, and then I opened my eyes. I was flat on my back in dracul's chamber, and they was laying in the lava with her head out and resting on the platform she was laying on earlier. Before I could even catch my breath they looked to me and said "you are awake already? usually it takes a bit longer." I looked down at the hands I had seen melt, they were so pristine that the scar I got before I even moved in to the palace on my palm was gone, as was the paper cut I had gotten shelving some tomes earlier.
"Um... What happened?" I asked.
"A trial by fire." Dracul responded before chuckling to theirself.
"Did I die?"
"Not quite, if you had died you would not be here now. You survived and now you are chosen." They responded calmly. Dracul would go on to tell me how their and each of the other dragons could anoint a chosen and that individual would act as an extension of their great power. I was bathed in fire and reborn an Inquisitor of Dracul. It was just like that, that my life changed forever. No longer was I just the librarian, I was gifted divine magics by the Red Conquerer. Now I was the head of the Advisory Council, and the direct ambassador to the Red Conqueror. Overnight a 16 year old boy went from nothing to the second most powerful individual in Paradise second only to Dracul herself. But remember how this story started, a fast horse in full gallop and branded a traitor, well we are getting there.
People all throughout the city fight their whole lives just to be recognized by Dracul, I had become Dracul’s chosen almost by accident. Apparently this was the whole point for them, they did want somebody who was TRYING to get the position they wanted someone who was less power hungry. This did not sit well with many of the other members of the advisory council, but it was especially bad for Gerald who had been on the council for the last six years and now had to take orders from the kid who came here at the same time he did but was sent to the library because he didnt fit anywhere else. Gerald was livid and he told me so after the first meeting, said I didnt deserve my position and that I was a failure waiting to happen. Gerald and I were never really friends but it still hurt because he was part of the three with me and terrance. While we are on the subject Terrance was thrilled for me and we even celebrated over a drink at the local pub that night. Anyway I took up my new mantle and tried to preform to the best of my abilities. I spent my days with Dracul who taught me a great many things from the divine to the arcane, to languages and histories. She told me that she wanted me to be able to think for myself, that a "yes man" was of no use to her. I needed to be an autonomous extension of her power and will on this plane. And so I was, I attended meetings of great powers and represented Dracul meeting a number of powerful lords and ladies throughout the land. I worked to better Paradise and I think I did a damn good job. One place I was never able to make much headway was the Advisory council, even after 4 years in the position they still refused to take any of my suggestions and often did whatever Gerald said. This was annoying but I honestly had bigger fish to fry and I could just advise Dracul separately anyway so it did not matter too much if the council ignored me.
Anyway 5 years after being chosen is where we are now, with the horse and the traitor status. Last night something happened, I was in Dracul's chamber discussing an upcoming tournament in their honor when Gerald and a number of Knights walked in to the chamber. Gerald yelled about me being a traitor, I couldnt believe it. I would never betray Dracul 1. because it would be grade A stupid and 2. because I believe in them. Dracul did not speak out loud but directly into my head. "Is this true, my chosen?" They asked.
"Absolutely not.”
“Very well then, I’ve been looking for an excuse to send you into the field anyway.” Dracul’s normal method of handling traitors involves fire and ashes. But this time they labeled me a traitor and banished me. Gerald was noticeably angry and stormed out of the Molten Palace. I was given till morning to be out of town or the guard would be forced to execute me on sight.
In my head I heard Dracul’s voice. “Go out into the world, grow, become strong, and then return to me with information worthy of overturning your status.”
Some gods like to test their followers. Apparently the same is true for the Red Conquerer, though that involved literally not being allowed to return to my home in my case. I would have to leave my mother, father, sister, and romantic interests behind. As I was packing Terrance came to my chambers. He grabbed me by the arm and said
“We have to go forget the bag, Gerald is making a move.” He lead me out of the castle and into the streets. We had to duck into an alley to avoid a mob lead by Gerald. Terrance explained they were waiting to ambush me before I could leave the city. I was brought to a horse on the outskirts of town and told me to ride through the night. “Go to Calweld, I have a cousin there. Black scaled. His name is Bruce. He will help you, be warned calweld doesn’t like outsiders but it’s better for you than being here.”
And that’s where we are now. Me running from my home to get to a different nation all the way across the ocean.
This seems like a lot of fun! I have brainstormed up an Inquisitor named Tom who follows that dragon who runs a city because that sounded awesome to me.

Whatever you roll happens either to you or using you as a point of origin. As you feel the effect begin to manifest (after you roll and hear what the effect will be) you may draw on your inner fortitude to change the effect to either effect whatever enemy you hit or use that enemy as a point of origin. In order to do this you must expend two hit dice as it is taxing on ones body to control these chaotic magics.
