-Ability Scores: STR 10 DEX 16 CON 16 INT 13 WIS 14 CHA 18
-Character Race & Subrace/Class & the subclass you plan to take: Half Elf, Shadow Sorcerer
-Background: Noble (Fey Touched Feat)
-Backstory: Venrys is a soft-spoken, outgoing young man with a noble demeanor. He is the son of a human, Tolsimir Stradovari, and an elven woman named Szarinya N'Vaelhar. Growing up his mother was always very secretive about her past, never divulging anything of her life before she met Venrys’s father. His life was one of study in preparation to take over the family estate. But all that was stripped away from him in the blink of an eye. He’s tried so many times to identify the last memory before his life changed forever. As best as he can recall, a mysterious voice woke him from sleep. He turned the light on to see who was there and . . . after that everything became a blur. He awoke in a moldering ruin of his former bedroom. He emerged from his room to find the world had changed. The family estate had fallen into disrepair. His father roamed the halls, delirious and sickly, aged almost beyond recognition. His mother was long gone, and he couldn’t find any trace of her. He would learn in time that he had been in a coma for the past 10 years, teetering between life and death, and with his illness and his mother’s disappearance his father had gone insane. Venrys also discovered he had a new magical ability, and a marking on his chest in a strange language that throbbed with insidious power. Venrys has come to Strixhaven both to learn about his powers, and to find clues to his mother’s disappearance. One of the very few things she let slip about her past was her time at Strixhaven, where she was a student many years before . . .
-RP Example: Venrys stepped onto the stage. The bright lights seared his eyes and made his already pale skin a sickly shade of white. He flinched, just for a moment. He’d never been one for the spotlight, even before the incident. But, he had never been one to shy away from a simple challenge. Within a heart’s beat he composed himself and strode across the stage to greet the deans of the school. Venrys bowed low before them and took his diploma in hand. He beamed to the crowd and gave a small, polite wave. Every step seemed to be measured and cut, trained through years of practice in the high courts. With his degree in hand he looked out over the crowd. Was she here? Could she have chosen this very moment to come forward? Venrys assumed a formal stance and addressed the crowd. “My friends, esteemed masters, my dearest mentors, I am honored beyond words that you could be here with me today. I hope in the days ahead that I may use the knowledge I have gained here for the benefit of all. I would not be here today if it were not for my tireless mentors and the supportive people in my life.” He paused, and that pause lingered on for a moment too long before he simply smiled. “Again, I thank you all.” With that, he gave another formal bow and departed the stage. His heart raced as he slipped out of the glaring lights and into blessed shadow once more.
May I make a suggestion on some possible alterations? (My inner-optimizer has been nagging at me all week about this.) I'm not sure if these suggestions will fit the character you have in mind, but just some things that might make Brandon more able to fulfill the fantasy. (Not sure.)
Suggestion One: Change out Variant Human for Human. This will give you +1s to all stats instead of 2. As you have a 13 and a 15 you haven't boosted, this will increase your modifiers. While this will lose the Grappler feat, you have proficiency in Athletics that will still give him decent odds. (As far as I can tell you haven't selected a background, so could get one that either provide Athletics on its own or has an overlap with a Wizard skill so that you can choose that skill from Wizard and then swap out the background proficiency for Athletics.)
Suggestion Two: With the new stats, possibly reassign them as follows. STR (16) DEX (11) CON(16) INT (18) WIS (14) CHA (11). The big change I'm looking at there is boosting CON. That will let you use your Barbarian class feature of Unarmored Defense so that even if you're not raging, you're still getting a nice boon representing stamina from physical training. Plus it offers better saves for Concentration Checks and adds a nice bit of HP to your wizard levels. (+7 instead of +4, a 75% increase.) While DEX gets lowered by this, taking a 2nd level of Barbarian for Danger Sense would still give you advantage for saves. (Plus Reckless Attack if you want advantage while bonking people with your staff.) Another alternative would be STR (14) DEX (16) WIS (11) but that lowers the STR (while still decent) and WIS, both of which I'm not sure how important they are for you.
