Character Basics
Name: Wart (might change it, but that is what it will mean in undercommon)
Half Elf (Darkborn)
Sorcerer/Arcanist (Level 1 character mechanics in second post)
Wart was a slave among the Drow, one of thousands who toil in the unseen underdark. While thinblooded by birth, he was able to “pass” for human. The whip was a constant reminder to him where he stood…However when he was allowed to sleep, the story was different. Where all he knew was the dark caves illuminated by moss, in his dreams he could see bright light coming from the heavens, and the burnt man would teach him tricks, tricks that when he awoke he could still do…
However, Wart knew that his masters would not appreciate a slave knowing how to do these tricks so he kept them to himself, each day was a struggle, then one day the burnt man told him he would send him a friend, to help him greet the son. Wart had no idea who the son was, but anything was better than dealing with his lot.
The next day, a small creature, like a bat but different (a thrush he would later learn flew) around the cave. Following it he was led to an exit from the underdark. The sun at first blinded him, but soon his eyes adapted to it. Along the way out he found the remains of a human, however unlike the slaves he had fine clothes and gear. He took the gear...
Personality: his time in the underdark has made him weary of others. He is a bit paranoid if truth be told. He also has a compassionate side for the downtrodden, and a curiosity in the new world he finds himself in.
A few mechanical things: I know some if not all of my plan is sub optimal. I'm fine with it
Yes the plan is to go into arcanist
I do want a familiar at level 1
Yes I know about the Arcanist archetype that gives bloodlines, not interested in it.
Sorcerer spells will be more utility than powerfull. Yes I know lacking 2 spell progression levels overall. I'm good with that
I do appreciate ways to improve "around the edges" of the basics I layed out

A couple things might be bending the rules: It is debatable if he meets the requirements for Drow Nobility (Hero Lab is happy with it, depends on if a drow magic counts as drow spell like ability)
Undercommon as a language choice is technically not allowed (as he can only choose language a Drow can choose but not the ones they are automatically given)...having said that don't think it will be an issue...
TECHNICALLY: Not adopted by half-orcs, just using that to get the ability to pass for human...same basic effect, just the source is a small bit different...
