Do you have any background information about the world that you can share, so that we can integrate our characters into it a little more specifically? (I'd be particularly interested in local geography and culture of the region we will be in).
EDIT: This is just the lore nerd in me coming out, so if you don't have that information prepared or ready don't worry about it.
The world of var is a world with rapid improvements to tech and magic, but a civil war between two dragon born clans might just destroy it, the chromatic dragon born are inventing a weapon so powerful it could cause earthquakes and melt flesh and bone for miles, like an atomic bomb.
The metalic dragon born have deployed there airships in search for the place where the weapon is being made.

Character: Mislynn Falanth Race: wood elf Class: Bard Backstory: Being a lone wood elf isn’t easy. After being abandoned by her own people after a misunderstanding, Mislynn was left to fend for herself. Stealing and scavenging in a port city where no one had seen an elf before, Mislynn was never trusted. Alone and hungry, Mislynn was sleeping in a supply crate on a particularly rainy night when the crate was loaded onto a ship. The crew of the ship locked her up in the brig as they traveled, until a pirate crew came and raided the ship. Though it was a unfortunate turn of events for the sailors, the pirate raid was the greatest thing that happened in Mislynn’s life. The pirate crew accepted Mislynn as one of their own, and slowly, Mislynn made her way up the ranks of the crew, until she became captain of The Tempest. Mislynn led her ship around the world, collecting jewels and gold along the way. Soon, the world began to call her Windsbane, the pirate queen. Mislynn became known all around the world, in some places as a villan, in others, a hero, and in others, nothing but a myth. After years of captaining The Tempest, Mislynn set off in search of new adventures.

I love the gunslinger class, feel free to use any of the CR content
Having grown up in tropical woods, the advances of technology hardly affected Sam Shortfur and his clan of magicats. He was born with an eidetic memory, meaning he couldn’t forget anything. He remembers his first birthday, for Pete’s sake. He used that to his advantage, and became a master artist, basically tracing pictures of whatever he’s seen before onto the paper. He was popular in his clan, his charming personality earning him many friends, and many suitors. But only one ever caught his eye. His best friend, Anam Forestroof. The two were a perfect pair, but one day that changed. They were walking in the woods, and got caught in the crossfire of a battle between the two clans of Dragonborn. Sam made it out unharmed, but Anam did not. Anam’s death sparked something in Sam, making him realize that life is far too short to not enjoy it. So he left his clan, going out to experience everything he can. Which led to him being captured in an alleyway, and in jail. But it’s all in good fun, he assures you.

BACKSTORY(long): day 1: hi new diary, im tina. my mom and dad got you for me on my 15 birthday. im really excited to be best friends with you. let me introduce you to my parents. my dads name is freir and my mom is serenia. we live in a town on the treetops as fairies and there is about 5,000 of us fairies just in the community. we are basically treated as royalty since my father is friends with the king and is the leader of our town. so i see all the fairies as my people even though i am no queen. well i better go to play with my friends outside now, see you tomorrow. day 3649: i just found you in my sack of things while unpacking my things. you are one of the last things to remind me of mom, dad, all my friends. i guess you dont know what im talking about though. a long time ago my village burnt down. this doesnt exactly mean that all faries are dead. just the 5,000 in our town and maybe more since i haven’t seen any of our neighboring villages since my journey. Apparently a human decided to, burn the forest luckily they did not burn all of the forest as the flame stoped but it didnt stop in time to protect my town. i have survived by being lucky enough to be above the tree tops at the time of the forest fire. i have learned some magic for defending myself and yeah. i am really glad i found you because its like im talking to my mom and dad. bye. day 3699: i finally found a village. sadly it is not a fairy village but a human village and since i know that they find fairies strange i have had to keep a low profile. i have been informed that this is not the village that had the human to start the fire (the man i seek to... deal with) but no matter as i will be fine. i will just stay here for a few nights and then leave to keep searching. while here i have been pit pocketing people to make money since i am extremely low on it. i am pretty good at it but i hope it doesn’t become a habit. talk to you another day. bye.

ok thank you
No problem
I’d like to say something real quick.
I realized that monk is not the best class for my character’s backstory, so would it be okay if I changed it to warlock?
(Also I’ve been told that I can join, if this seems out of place)
Don’t ever ask me to get a good charisma stat. I like watching my characters’ social lives disintegrate.
Go ahead
Alright! Here is the link to the game thread

Never posted my backstory here, so here goes.
