A friend and I have come up with the idea to play as identical Aasimar twins, one being a cleric and the other being a druid. Would it be a good idea for the two of them to have the same background, or would it be wiser if they had different backgrounds? (this is my first post I have no idea what I'm doing, sorry)
If the twins grew up together and lived their whole life together it would make sense to have the same background. However, if the Cleric went off and joined the church while the Druid went out into nature and lived a separate life, it would make sense that the backgrounds would be different.
So really, you and your friend should talk about how they grew up and how close their lives are to each other. Either way, it sounds like it'll be an awesome adventure for the twins!

Physically identical doesnt mean they are the same. Varying views or quirks. If I may ask in what ways are they different?
As for background choose what suits the individual character.

Thank you! I showed your post to my friend and they think this is a great idea. Have a nice day!
You too!
