Born in Star Port from a poor family, he lost his mother before he was old enough to remember her. His father was a simple dragonborn that worked as a laborer wherever he could find a job, which meant they always struggled to have food in their bowls.
To make things worse, the local kids always made fun of Shressh vibrant green scales and dragon like features, more out of fear, than with the intent of being mean. An outcast, always teased, often beaten, Shressh had no real friend except his father, that however was too busy procuring food to be able to protect him.
Around the age of 10, Shressh was quickly reaching his adulthood and wanted to contribute to the family income, so he set out to find a job suitable for his growing strength. Fate however had something else planned for the dragonborn, when it put one of the older kids that always teased him in competition with Shressh for the same job.
It wasn't the insults, the name calling, or the shoving, he was used to that. It was the symbolic importance of this day that made Shressh blind with rage. He watched himself react, shouting "ENOUGH" and spitting poison on the face of the kid, that caught by surprise could not do anything to avoid it.
There was nothing the healers could do, and the kid died shortly after. Horrified by what he had done, Shressh ran away, as fast as he could, out of the city, in the forest, away from everything.
He was found some days after, almost dead, by a wandering cleric that took him, healed him, and fed him. When he recovered, he found that the old man was kind with him, and did not look at his green skin with fear or mocked him for what he was.
Shressh had finally found a friend.
The cleric took him as an apprentice, teaching him the Faith and to be kind and selfless, and Shressh discovered his true calling.
However he swore to never use his foul poisonous breath again, and he was never comfortable showing his face to anybody but his mentor, preferring to wear a hood and cape to cover his scales.
After 12 years the cleric finally died of old age and Shressh was alone again. He decided to leave, seeking redemption for his terrible deed, by helping people in need wherever he could find any.
"I'm your worst nightmare. Keep living in peace, because when I find you, the silence will be deafening before my arrow finds its mark..."
"Look at your face! A complete jest, no need to be so serious! Let's get this out of the way: My name's Minatarsis Illianril Galanodel, but you can call me whatever you like - except that one guy who tried 'Tarts', I think he still needs help eating - yes, I am an elf, no not one of those spritie woodsy ones and definitely not one of those creepy Drow. Surprised? Well surprise, surprise! We don't all act so high-and-powerful, much to the dismay of our brethren.
Why am I here? Simple: I want to explore. We live for thousands of years and are content to just sit in one place and think about the world. That life is not for me. I've got a bow and the world has endless possibilities. As far as I can see, it's a fair trade. I help the world, it gives me a good story to tell."
Character Sheet to follow.
EDIT: Sorry, just re-read your initial post requiring a DDB character sheet. I can send you my full character sheet with ability descriptions and everything via PM if you'd like. If you would rather avoid running a Mystic in the group, just let me know.
EDIT 2: Changed class to Rogue to allow for creation in DDB Character Builder.

Our group is looking for one more player, to bring it back to a total of four players(and one DM) You're character can be any race/class combination you can make in D&D Beyond.

@Gorshina, do you want the character sheet here or via PM? Also I'll probably need a deity or equivalent.
Probably Fuel, human melee fighter. Other details to follow.
Just an average metalhead who plays DnD in his spare time.

@Darquill either you can make a deity, or I can write on up for you.
