I would like to hear some intresting backgrounds to characters. None of the over used, orc raided village and i'm left for dead ones. I'm sure some people make great creative backgrounds.
Here is my two character backgrounds.
Well my sorcerer is a drow(DM let me slip that one once) and neutral one. Later he becomes good after befriending an elf.(I hated him at first) But back to background, well my characters mom is a cleric of Loth. He has two sisters and a brother, the younger sister is a pain and blames him for everything she does that's bad and is sometimes on purpose to get my character in trouble. My older sister is named Jasmine and has always been different. She knew arcane and psionic and has always been shuned. Then there is my brother, forgot his name but he's a straight out fighter that was neglected and like the others hated me because I wasn't completley evil. My father was a sorcerer like me and had to treat me horribly but I was actually the only one he liked, yet no one knew that. So eventually I ran away from home met an elf captured him then eventually I came to trust him, bla bla bla we became friends and now my family is trying to kill me. I have killed my phsyco demented older sister, and put my younger sister in the guild jail.(Our party made a guild)My mother escaped when we raided the house, house Devul(not pronounced devil)is house #4 I think. My father made a group of non-evil drow though his guild is small they are very well trained and stuff. Oh and I forgot to mention, when we were fighting the weapon master of the house(that was my favorite battle yet) just recently we killed my brother. I know your starting to think that's evil but I had to, besides if you don't kill them they'll kill you. Jasmine would have killed herself anyway by destorying her demi-plane by summoning the god.(long long story) So know all that remains of my family is: my younger sister who is in jail, father who is hiding, me who is adventuring, and my mother who is doing something but I don't know what...
Then we have Trimas my warlock, he was born and raised underground because in the campaign demons have taken the surface world.(once again long long story) He has lived in a training academy for his whole life not knowing who his parents are. See to pick what type of class you are going to be you are given some toys while you are an infant. I picked a dark purple ball. That put me in warlock training. Just recently he has been asigned some test to get out, and he must do these test with a...paladin! I think his name is Handar, but he and I must overcome differences bla bla bla and get outa that academy. All I want is money and all he wants is greatness and to rid the world of demons.
That's my backgrounds, now post yours. I think i've bored you long enough anyways
