Chapter Text
Hello AO3,
This is my first time posting anything of any kind.
If you read the summary then you should know what this is. I am a big fan of D&D but, sadly, don't get to play much. That hasn't stopped me from coming up with idea after idea for different characters I'd like to play if given the chance. Many of these characters started out as little more than a cool name, a gimmick, or a new race or subclass I wanted to explore. However, playing with characters that were simply a race, a class, and a goofy voice was something that didn't really interest me about the few times I've played D&D. What I love most about the game is how, even if two groups are playing the same module, the different characters they bring to the campaign should make for different experiences.
To that end, I made a challenge to myself to look at all the characters I'd come up with try to come up with backstories for each of them, giving them all a place to start, a reason for them to be the class/subclass that they are (particularly for those campaigns that start at level 3), and some goal that they're working toward that got them involved in the campaign to begin with. Originally, this was just so that if I ever got involved in a campaign, I could just pick the character I wanted to play, then copy/paste the backstory and send it to my DM so that they know my character's deal, but now that it's finished, I . . . kinda . . . want to share it. Let other people see it and see what they think, see if they might be inspired to use some of these characters in their own games, either using them wholesale, or using their general idea as a jumping off point for their own character ideas.
So . . . yeah, I'll start doing this, see how it goes. If people like my stuff, I'll keep posting.
