What made your character decide to become a wizard? Why did they leave their home town? Did they leave family behind or are they looking for something? These are all questions players face when generating their characters, with the best will in the world it's tempting to rely on cliché.
BARD
 |
| Bard by AIBryce |
1. Every Bard Needs a Hero - You've made a respectable living up to now sing in the various inns and taverns of your homeland, but singing the same old songs and telling the same old tales has begun to wear thin. It is said that a bard is only as good as the hero he follows, you must therefore strike out and find your own hero who you can immortalise in song...
2. The Great Bard's Instrument - When you needed to repair your instrument after a particulary rowdy evening in a local tavern you stumbled across a dusty tome of the Great Bard's work in the luther's workshop. The tales and songs were familiar but it was the illustration of the Great Bard himself which captivated you. You had never seen his image before or the instrument he played, so different from your own. When you ask the luther if he can make such an instrument he tells you that the instrument was made long ago in a land far away and perhaps they have the skills and knowledge to recreate it.
3. The Masked Mariachi - The people are a sad and dispirited lot, their backs and spirits have been broken by the work party enforcers sent by their despotic ruler to harvest the crops and mine the ore needed to further his own ends. The people need to rise up and overthrow him, but to do this they need hope, the kind of hope that can be spread through song. You know that this won't be easy, you'll need to travel swiftly from village to village, be selective in where you play, and you'll need a disguise but the people need you. The people need the Masked Mariachi...
DRUID
1. Blight - A terrible blight has cursed the land and the desperate townsfolk turned to you to save their crops, there was nothing you could do. Your grove has withered and in order to save it you have uprooted it's heart vine which now sits safely in a pot of earth in your backpack as you try to find a new home far from your blighted birthplace. Perhaps the townfolk will forgive you for abandoning them if you could only find a cure...
2. Nature's Balance - You became aware of a shift in the natural order of things several months ago during a peyote ritual. The visions you had showed a dark tide sweeping across the land and plants and animals alike withered and died in it's wake. The visions grew stronger each time you performed the ritual and you became convinced that the only way you can stem the tide and regain the essential balance is to journey into the heart of darkness and cut out it's root...
