So I've been wanting to play for years with friends but we've never been able to get things going due to a conglomerate of things. Finally about to start a Skype campaign as we're mostly separated. But I was planning on an Aarakocra Storm Sorcerer with a Lawful Evil alignment and criminal background. Yes our DM is fine with the flight, we're starting at level 3 anyway so it won't be as much of an issue. Anyway, I just wanted some feedback on some of the choices I have made for the character and if it seemed like it may be able to work or not, thanks!
Aarakocra Storm Sorcerer
Life Story Struck by lightning at 6 months old, killing parents while giving him sorcerer abilities Powers aren't able to be controlled and tribe ostracizes him Leaves mountain in search of answers for why given these powers Contacted by Pazuzu, recruited to serve the demon in return for answers to his powers Trains for next year under Pazuzu in secret, learning to control powers while committing to servantship to Pazuzu During training, is tasked with various tasks, such as converting others to become worshippers of Pazuzu Becomes well versed criminal, able to utilize his charismatic personality and natural sorcerer powers to his advantage Favored in the eyes of Pazuzu, tasked now with finding Rod of Seven Parts
Personality Traits: I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me. I put on new identities like clothes. Few know who I really am, and the rest know one of my many persona. I’m a quick thinker, able to fabricate the words necessary to keep me alive. Ideals: Aspiration. I seek to prove myself worthy of my god's favor by matching my actions against his or her teachings. (Any) Logic. Emotions must not cloud our logical thinking. (Lawful) Power. Solitude and contemplation are paths toward mystical or magical power. (Evil)
Bonds: Careful with words, my word is my bond. The true interpretation of those words, however, is left to my own judgement. I owe my life to the demon who took me in when my parents died.
Flaws: I secretly believe that everyone is beneath me. Will have others lead charges into battle and conspicuous terrains to preserve himself.
Memories: Faded memories of parents in arguments over who was to blame (but for what?) Discovered young Tortle on mountain by himself upon leaving, dropped him off in nearby town with group of soldiers Secrets: A fourth figure was present the day he was given his powers but never was able to be identified Up to DM, possibly could be Pazuzu? Maybe he was directly responsible for the death of parents and result of powers
You seem to have a well fleshed out story so far, I suggest sitting down with your DM to discuss this before play and ask them to include story points that are impactful to your character progression and history that can make your character grow personally.
