Hi there!
So yesterday we did a session zero, and all rolled up characters, the gm said to wright a more detailed backstory, which I like the idea of having one, but I am having trouble filling out the backstory.
the backstory story that I have is that he is from what is essentially mad max fury road land, which is on the other side of the planet from where the campaign takes place. His family was a clan of war demons (and some half demons and tieflings) who were desert raiders and lived going around ransacking towns and villages.
On one raid he was mortally wounded, and was left in the desert to die. Just as he was about to bleed out, something he recognized as an angel of truth came to him, and said that it would heal him if he would promise to go to fantasy scotland and find Tobias, and then do what Tobias told him to when he got there.
He said yes immediately passed out, and then woke up a day latter fully healed and with strange magic powers. He just got to fantasy scotland, and is ready to go find tobias when the campaign starts. Also he is convinced that the angel can take his life away if he pisses it off, and as such refuses to lie as he is convinced it will kill him if he does.
Any ideas for filling that out? I’m especially looking for ideas about who he was before the angel came to him.
Some notes
He has 5 strength, 17 dex, and 20 charisma. So he is literally as charismatic as a mortal can be, but is a huge wimp. The wimp thing seems interesting for a war demon but I can’t figure it out.
Mechanically he is a tiefling warlock with the celestial patron, which means he is the party healer. Interestingly though I realised that he had no fighting or healing power besides what the angel gave him, so im not sure what he did before hand.
He doesn’t know anything about the angel or tobias, that is a plot hook the dm plans on using.
War demons in this world are magical beings that appear when the demon lord of war comes to earth, but they do not follow him or care about him, they are only obsessed with violence.
So you have any ideas for filling out that backstory and making it more detailed?
Also looking for ideas for the characters personality and appearance. What did you picture with the backstory? I want to something besides the traditional tiefling look, but i'm not sure what. What personality do you think makes sense?
