Hail, and well met, all.
I can't seem to find a search function, so maybe there's already a thread for this... if so, kindly direct me to it, thank you.
I thought it might be fun to have a thread consisting of character back stories.
Here's mine.
A High Elf Arcane Trickster I've been playing in a weekly campaign for about 6 months, and plan to be my first BG3 playthrough.
****************************************************
Born to one of the oldest and wealthiest noble High Elf families, the House of Andaron, Khyrmn grew up running around, playing hide & seek, and tag with the members of the family's Intelligence arm.
This brought him to the attention of the commander of the Intelligence arm, who started devising various tasks and tests, resembling games, to both test, and further enhance Khyrmn's natural, duck to water, skills and aptitude to join his branch of service to the family, as opposed to the family's school of magic.
Showing more of a talent for, let alone interest in, the skills of a spy/rogue/assassin than the boring study of the magics of Wizarding, (thus dashing his parents' hopes of Khyrmn becoming a Grand Wizard of the Kingdom), Khyrmn took to the clandestine training like a fish to water.
Over the years Khyrmn had grown in skill and experience, having taken on several missions for the family, including intelligence gathering, assassination, framing members of opposing family members of treason, and all sorts of chicanery, thus strengthening his family's position in the kingdom while weakening others.
Eventually his parents became targets of reprisal due to their wealth, power & influence in the kingdom.
Due to his own experience with assassination, Khyrmn recognized and thwarted two assassination attempts, ultimately killing the Assassins during the second attempt.
His parents were whisked away to live with the King, where no one would ever be foolish enough to attempt another assassination.
However, now HE was the target.
Khyrmn was forced to leave home and join the outside world where he could both hide and more importantly, find out who was behind the attempted assassination attempts. The only clue from one of the assassins, was that he was Human. No Elf family would utilize an assassin squad that used Humans, or any other non-Elf.
The author of this treachery had to be from the outside world... and Khyrmn planned to find out who it was, and deal with them in spectacular fashion.
