I've been trying to create a cleric that defies the norms for a while. So far I have a Grave Cleric with a plague doctor theme/aesthetic. As for backstory, however, I'm stumped. They are human so far but that can be subject to change. Any thoughts as for how a person could become a creepy ol Grave Cleric?
Family business? Let's face it, the kids of a family that owns a funeral home grow up with a different set of "normal" parameters than most kids do. And have dared others to do things that initially scared them too. Maybe they thought the priests that came out for the burials were pretty cool people and kind of mixed the two.
They died as a teenager and talked to the Ferryman and when they were resurrected, remember the conversation vividly and are fascinated by where people go into the afterlife.
Grandfather lived to a very old age, but the final years were very painful and seemed to last forever. Of course, anything lasts forever in your teen years. Now they just want to find ways for other people not to suffer, especially when their time is near.

Hello folks,

Thanks!
