So, I have decided I would finally play an echo knight. After talking with my dm a bit, I learned that this camapgin will revolve around the feywild, and how the feywild is expanding rapidly. My character is going to help with that, but I’m having an issue figuring out what to do in terms of incorporating the Feywild aspect into the Echo Knight Fighters I guess “theme”.
I so far have a basic backstory, using the Feylost background of a Tiefling girl, who’s blind, that was just found within the Feywild as a baby. A unicorn named Estar found her, took her to the Summer court and waited for judgement. The final verdict was that the child was to stay, and Estar got a really bad feeling in the back of her mind, but that was that, and Wisteria just had a normal childhood. Living in the feywild and learning how to navigate through it. She started training with a Winter Eldrain Paladin named Imdiira because she mentioned that she would one day like to explore the Prime Material plane, or anywhere outside of the feywild and just outside of Estar’s domain in general. So Estar contacted Imdiira, an old friend to train her just so that the child could be protected. I know how I want the rest to go, but to incorporate the Echo knight theme into the feywild is giving me some trouble, any ideas?
Perhaps some kinda deal or feywild magic/ritual separated an aspect of them (imagination, curiosity, anger, compassion, etc), either intentionally or by mistake. However, that part of them wasn't fully removed. Instead, they can manifest it to utilize in combat. You could play them so that the part of them that manifests becomes absent when manifested. For example, when they summon their echo they are literally pushing their anger out of their body. This would mean they can not feel anger when their echo manifests. You could do this with whatever aspect you think would work for your character and their story. Perhaps they were too empathetic to become an effective warrior, at least in their master's eyes, so now they feel no empathy when they fight.
Personally, I like the idea of twisting the echo knights echo like this. I have an echo knight as a back up character for my current
