So I posted about this last night, but for some reason every time I try to access the original post I get a 403 error.
Here's the short of it; DM is starting a campaign in Wildemount, wants everyone to roll background information on the associated table. Your background determines who your rivals and allies are and a slew of other disconnected details about them and how they relate to you. After rolling all these things, you lego build them together to determine backstory elements.
On one of my rolls to determine a rival's identity, I got a 100 and this earned me an "adult gold or red dragon" as a rival.
As for details for the rivals, my options were as follows;
1: A person who wants to be my friend, but their help has always made my life harder.
2: This person loved me, but I broke their heart, and they are now obsessed with hurting me back.
3: I bested them in combat, but they believe I cheated. They long to prove they are the greater warrior.
4: I broke a promise to them that caused them to suffer greatly, they seek to do the same to me.
Now because I didn't want to have an antagonistic relationship at LV 1 with a fully grown dragon, I chose the friendlier Gold Dragon and decided to assign it to the 1 slot; they wanna be my friend but make things harder for me. I figure this is both hilarious and also not a quick trip to writing up a new character.
So now I'm trying to decide how I want to write their first meeting so I have that backstory element to give to my DM, but I'm having a bit of trouble. Other parts of the rival system clicked into place for me, but this one is giving me trouble. Any thoughts?
