So, I wanna do this in part to help my players improve their role playing; I'm going to give each of my players a character to play, each with it's own bizarre backstory. Because this is not intended to be a serious campaign, I'm ignoring level adjustments and giving each of them 15 class levels. I'm also ignoring the usual alignment restrictions on race, with regards to these particular characters.
I figure it may be fun to present the concepts here, and fish for ideas from you guys.
The plot is a typical "save the kingdom from a greedy dragon" thing, but perhaps the villain suffers from certain insecurities that make him feel the need to do this. Maybe he's a runty dragon that never actually shows his face and lets rumors build him up to be more dangerous than he actually is?
The characters:
Lawful good vampire nun(cleric of Pelor, her holy symbol protects her from sunlight, but still hurts her when she wields it. Frequently prays to Pelor for forgiveness, especially when she accidentally touches her holy symbol.)
Lawful neutral incubus monk of St. Cuthbert, ideas like above welcome.
Chaotic good mindflayer bard who constantly stuggles with his hunger, in much the same way the nun does.
Lawful evil half celestial blackguard(ex paladin), see above incubus.
True neutral Duerger barbarian/sorcerer(actually considering changing this to some form of Fey or intelligent magical beast).
Lawful good psion yuan-ti pureblood(do not have the stats for yuan ti, if you do, please share :D)
