Im making a simic hybrid bloodhunter and re-fluffing the race just to be physical mutations. Due to the setting being the Forgotten Realms. However im having problems making a backstory to link it all together.
So far i have that she never knew her father with her mother saying he was the sea it's self. Born with all or some of her mutations, likely seemed to just be Half Sea-Elf or half Triton when a baby/toddler. Only became a sailor because it was one of the few options in her town. Im planing taking a few storm or water sorcerer levels later on, mostly for lighting bolt and other spell. I feel like this character is a gish. The DM let me use the EK spell list/slots with CHA as the mod. As opposed to the ones i get from Profane Soul, still trying to decide on a rite focus though.
sea...mutations....sounds like a Deep Scion to me (page 135 of Volo's Guide to Monsters) or Sea Spawn (same book, page 189).
So you could have a lovercraftian heritage where one or more ancestors were cultists of some sea entity (Aboleth, Kraken, Great Old One etc). Mother fled with the child after the birth and Mother now lives in fear that her sea going daughter has too much of her father in her.
