Leonian

You are a Leonian, born under the Leo sign.  Leonians gravitate towards positions where their grandiose personalities aren't kept in check, and so you may have been an artist, a performer, or even a gladiator.  You've likely made quite a name for yourself, given your propensity for boisterous displays.  At the very least, you might have a desire to make a name for yourself or to claim some lofty identity.

The grandeur of adventuring is naturally appealing to many Leonians.  The chance to live flamboyantly, to accomplish legendary feats, to be admired, and to help people along the way is often too good for a Leonian to pass up.  Work with your DM to determine what kind of feats your Leonian character got up to before taking up adventuring.  What attracted you to the lifestyle?  Perhaps you heard tales of some fantastic ancient myth, or crossed paths with an irresistibly dashing adventurer who inspired you.

A King's Charisma

Leonians are born wit the same natural charisma and majesty of the king of the jungle.  Wielding a silver tongue, and a larger-than-life attitude, many Leonians find people gravitating towards them, intentionally or not.  Of course, Leonians welcome the attention, fueling their passions from the wonder and appreciation of others.  Though they may often appear fickle and feckless, one should be careful not to cross a Leonian without purpose.  For beneath their fanciful exterior is a profoundly capable force of will, and a Leonian will not hesitate to bear their teeth when necessary.

Suggested Characteristics

Leonians are embodied by great humor, generosity, and passion, making them natural born leaders and heroes.  This being said, the other side of this gregarious attitude is often arrogance, self-importance, and laziness.  A Leonian often needs to prioritize which pride is most important to them, torn between loyalty to their loved ones and their own inflated ego.  Additionally, their sense of entitlement and the attention they invite onto themselves can leave them with a target on their back from those they have unknowingly spited.
