Just tell me what you think of this back story for the character I'm going to make in a changeling game. My character is a goblin and has the flaw dark past; here is his dark past.
Jack Rollo (Self Named;23)
He was the second child or a silk merchant who did not love him. One day his father abandoned Jack and his brother Julio on the side of the road during a caravan trip. Jack and Julio wandered through the desert and Jack saw Julio get eaten by a gargantuan spider in front of his eyes. Jack hid behind a group of rocks until the spider passed and then ran through the desert until he came upon a huge city of Skypeak. Jack grew up on the streets for two years, making wages by picking pockets. Being a goblin he also learned to make shanks and became proficient in wielding them. Later, when he was 8, he was found by a crazed woodworker who made gnomes for a living. The woodworker did experiments on Jack in attempts to bring his gnomes to life. Jack lived with him for 4 years until he was freed by bandits who killed the woodworker. Again Jack was homeless, and for about another year. Soon plague hit the town of Skypeak and Jack survived it. He started living in an abandoned shack with two other guys (Drew and Tom) Tom was very reclusive but Drew was welcoming. He lived with them for two years (there were poor conditions, water was unsanitary, hygiene neglected, food scarce) until Jack woke up one morning to Tom eating Drew. Tom attempted to Kill the young (15 year old) Jack, but Jack stabbed Tom to death with a piece of plywood. Jack buried his friends and lived alone for 2 years until his friends (and the rest of the town who died in the plague) burst from the ground as zombies. Jack lived in zombie Skypeak for about a month until he escaped to a small town north of Skypeak along a river. He lived there privately for 6 years until he got word from his hometown that his father (who abandoned him at 6) was jailed and needed bail money. Jack is very kind and agreed to free his father. In search of money, Jack joined an adventuring party. It was kind of long so i put it in spoiler tags. Tell me what you think, is it grim enough? :smallamused:
