Aren't dragonborn just the coolest race? Sounds like you've put a good amount of thought into your character?
Yes, I'd say I have. I have quite an active imagination, so I have several other character ideas, like a Goliath barbarian (cliche), a gnome ranger (probably not gonna do that well), a yuan-ti cleric (I like things that are out of the ordinary), and a character that utilizes both a custom race and background, though I doubt he'd really ever get any play time.

I always feel like my character isn't my own if it's a classic fantasy trope, like a Goliath barbarian, as you said. That's why I'm proud of my character Arcadius, a tiefling paladin.

Class: Paladin (Oath of Conquest), Fighter (Battle Master), Barbarian
Arcadius Abaddon. The bone devil. The White Wolf. The pale tiefling commands legions of soldiers against evil and crime everywhere, using gifts inherited from his ancestral mother Zariel. On the battlefield, Arcadius is a terrifying sight to behold when fighting.
Arcadius was born of two human parents, Moren and Shreya Oremdon. They had no desire to raise a monstrosity such as this, so they abandoned him on the streets late one night. The young tiefling wasn’t alone. Watching over him was the war chief of the Nine Hells, Zariel. This infant had ties to the ruler of Avernus, and Zariel sensed potential in him, so she kept him alive, bestowing upon him the name of Arcadius. She would send servants to take care of him or influence a person’s mind to save this white tiefling.
As Arcadius grew, he found that deep within him was a constant burning desire to fight. To sate this lust for battle, Arcadius would find nearby tavern brawls or fighting rings and compete. He knew that these wouldn’t be enough, so the pale tiefling enlisted in the army. Zariel’s ancestral gifts proved more than useful as her descendant quickly rose in rank until he had command over an entire host of well-trained soldiers.
The more Arcadius fought, the more prevalent he had become, and not just in his kingdom. Kings, lords, emperors, and rulers from everywhere requested Arcadius and his hand-picked militia, dubbed the Ghostblades, come and fight for them.
The recompense and sedation of his hunger for war were irresistible to Arcadius, so he heeded the call. The white tiefling fights not only to slate his lust for battle, but to supply his true mother Zariel with fresh soldiers in the Blood Wars. He has become aware of his bloodline and swore that he would never fall fully into Zariel’s grasp. Still, at times, he will slip too far, becoming a raging monstrosity that knows only death.
A relativly simple yet interesting backstory, Totsa was ordered by the Yuan-Ti to capture anyone for a sacrifice. She did, but than, the prisoner began to tell her about the outside world, all of the places, people, and things, and Totsa was very interested in the primitive culture. In a moment of weakness, she helped the prisoner escape, but was almost caught by the Yuan-Ti. Now an outcast from her people's society, she has to learn how this new civilization works, while avoiding the Yuan-Yi, with her former prisoner, helping her along the way.

Kethra was raised by wolfs after a mysterious event separating her from her family. She was taught stealth and hinting by The wolfs. A family that lived nearby offered food and eventually taught her common they gave her the name Graycastle. In her later years she found work as a guide leading people through the wild. She was adept at understanding all of their languages but she never stayed in one place too long. The want to explore was in her being and so she found her self taking a boat to hatsfeld. After all what Challenge can’t be overcome by a bit of understanding or overwhelming firepower
aves was part of a colony of Aarakocra in the material realm that lived on a mountain.They had been cut of from the plane of air for several decades. One day a dragon came along. The Aarakocra welcomed it (they were very isolated so any news was welcome). Unfortunately the dragon was red. Anyone who survived the slaughter was enslaved or so aves believe. Aves flew as soon as the slaughter began and flew until he could fly longer. Then he glided until the ground meet him. When he awoke he had crashed in a small desert oasis . With a broken wing and not knowing where he was he had to Learn the deserts pattern to survive. After some time pasted he started trading with a village. They were interested in the monsters of the desert and so he hunted and learned more. But despite it all as night fell he always returned to his oasis where he learned the most where he could feel the heart of the desert. One day after trading some scorpion tails a gust of wind tossed him in a tavern and made a deal that would change his life
flare is a fire genasi, despite him being in a very modest community, loved the idea of being a rouge, and tried his best to learn how.
after a bad fall, he was very hurt, but that never stopped him from being him. One day the local wizard put on a magic show, not the one with cheep card tricks, but a SHOW. Leaving flare in awe.
The next day he left his town(still injured) to see the world and trying to mix his abilities of a rouge with some magic to become an arcane trickster.

Abel was once a prince of a distant land, but the land was ravaged by numerous monsters, Abel's father and mother were soon defeated by the monsters, but not after Abel's father told him to flee and to escape. Abel eventually stayed in the wilderness, finding more comfort in the forests then in his previous home. He lived off of the land, and eventually discarded his royal heritage, to see how people would treat him, and so he wouldn't get targeted by anyone looking for his royal bloodline. He trusts animals more than people, and would usually go out of his way to befriend any creature, but he still doesn't have any objection with hunting, or eating meat.

Interesting idea for an aarakocra to be a Circle of The Land Druid, and also be blue. I dig it!
