Hi I am new to DND. I am working on creating my first backstory.
I want to play an animal-shapeshifter tiefling like Doric and have amnesia.
While I have laughed about giving my character amnesia so I can play like a noob and not be blamed for not knowing anything about DND….I plan on my character having a deeper backstory that will NEVER be addressed or resolved but will explain everything I am and all my motives.
First off I will be a tiefling druid circle of the moon…..I am still waiting on getting a DND book so I can learn the rules…
I plan to play as a chaotic natural character, with motivations on a whim like I just remembered part of who I am suppose to be.My ability to keep my interests the same as my team will depend on my teams alignment.
My nickname is Haunty.
Back story:
Real name: Hauna Kielling
Grew up in a very isolated small druid group that worked with dragons, wyverns, and such.While it is my understanding most tieflings are abandoned, my parents were not a part of the norm.They kept loved me and raised me as a druid.
My job was to protect misunderstood creatures.
My original team was my familiar (a small female cat, Pumpkina), Airialdactytra (a female amphithere), and Gadradawn (a male wyvern).I was able to talk to the Airialdactytra and Gadradawn and regarded them as close friends.
We went on quests together.
A time cames when the Airialdactytra becames pregnant and needed to return to her home to rise her young.
My last quest was to escort her there and Gadradawn stayed with her as the surrogate father.
We said our goodbyes.
Pumpkina and I left and started the journey back home but were ambushed in and attack. I was separated from her.
__
I was found by a party but have amnesia from the attack.I no longer remember who I was and worse because my original quest was suppose to take months or years no one is looking for me.
Since most tieflings don’t have a family, it is assumed I was just surviving in the wilderness alone and I come to believe this must be the case.
I develop a lot of loyalty to the new party that found me.
However based on my new teams playing alignment and style…I may not always be able to support what they are doing.
Are we planning on slaying this dragon….? Well, what is that nagging feeling that I am going regret this later?I might suddenly change sides to try to talk it out with the beast.
What happens when I remember that I do have a loving family and use to side with dragons?Will I be able to live with who I am, now?I am not sure.
___
I will say I never plan to get to face my past during the role-playing.I don’t know if I’ll even let my DM know my true history past amnesia.
At most I would like to be reunited with Pumpkina. I don’t know if druids can talk to all animals but I would prefer that I can’t talk about my past with her. Pumpkina may try to guide me home because preferably she remembers…but she can’t straight up tell me. Yet she is probably lost too, unfamiliar with being so far from home.
