Overview
[Type below:] Write a short (around 100 words) overview of who your character is. Content, written in orange letters like this, will not be visible when you are done. It's simply there to provide guidance]
his name is Brig Alden he is a half-elf Barbarian who was born of a human father and a half-elf mother. His family is a bloodline of nobility, have always been modest in terms of material means but their kindness and virtue were synonymous with the Alden name where even those from outside the village might hear the name and feel at ease. His Father died before he was born while he was travelling and his mother took care of him until she died as he was at the tender age of 6. Then his Grandfather who was also the chief of the village (from his father's side) took care of him for 2 years when he dies as well. On his deathbed his grandfather entrusted the small child to his Uncle who cared for him as if he was his own son and was raised amongst his uncle's children and learnt almost everything he knows from said uncle. Brig is now 20 years old, known to be honest and kind in his humble community and he helps his Uncle as a shepherd.
Early Life
[Type below:] Where did your character grow up? What place do they
call "home" now? (could be the same or different.) [75 words max] The
locations don't have to be named. It can be described. Growing up
locations play a role on what your character knows about the area. Some
races might have specific locations they came from. If uncertain, ask the
DM.
He grew up and still calls home the modest village his ancestors lived in, Dunesveil is a small town in the desert with a population of 200-300 people where community and camaraderie is visible in every aspect of life, there is a good selection of domestic wildlife like sheeps, cows, and camels. As well as natural produce like dates and such.
[Type below:] Who raised your character and how? What are these
people doing now? [75 words max] name at least 2 characters, preferably
3-4, that played an important role in your upbringing.
First My character's mother until he was 6, then his grandfather till 8, then his uncle until present day where is 20 years old. They taught him to always be close to family and never cut relations, to be kind and helpful to those in need especially if they are your neighbors. By the age of 10 he would start going on his people's yearly summer and winter journey where they would go north in the summer and south in the winter to trade. At first he helped with carrying items and look at the new sights but as he grew older he would start helping with the negotiation and picking of the produce.
[Type below:] How did your attribute scores affect your
character? [175 words max] How did your strengths and weaknesses
formed your life? For instance, did a 20 STR push you into manual
labor, as you could handle it easily? Did a low CON make you often
sick and had to travel to the capital for medicine? Did a high CHA
make it easy to make friends?
Brig was very average in most things, he did however show above-average strength and constitution likely thanks to his upbringing in helping around with the town's manual labor. Offering a helping hand carrying everything no matter how big or small even if realistically he can't pull it off slowly but surely increased his strength to where he is now relied upon on anything of that nature. His endurance and stamina also put him as a favorite in the town's autumn and spring journey where he could cross long distances without needing as many breaks.
Defining Events
[Type below:] What made your character obtain the class they
have now? [75 words max] Why did you become a Fighter and not a
Barbarian? What incident pushed you to your class choice?
While his cousins were more skilled fighters Brig had a powerful level of focus that seem to heighten his senses to an almost superhuman state, where an inkling of something being off gives him that extra edge in dodging a booby trap or time seemingly slowing down as he strikes down his axe to pinpoint the best place to hit for the most damaging blow possible, other than his lifelong connection to nature that is what pushed him to become a Barbarian.
[Type below:] What your character doing in recent years
before the campaign's start? [75 words max] In the last 2–3 years,
what had your character been doing?
Brig is a Farmer and a Shepherd by trade and very trustworthy in his community, where people would leave their money with him knowing that he will not cheat them out of their money or try to steal it and that he will keep it safe by all means. He lives a dull life before the campaign's start but to him it is very fulfilling, he is surrounded by people he loves and who love him and is doing what he loves despite it might seem boring to others.
[Type below:] What motivated your character to leave their
previous lifestyle and become adventurers? [120 words max]
Nobody decides to endanger themselves without good reason. Were
you forced to leave your previous lifestyle? What happened that
changed you from a safe job, like a farmer, to an
adventurer?
Regarding this question and since we are starting at level 1 I had hoped that we answer this in the campaign. As in I am a Farmer until session 1 where something happens that changes me into an adventurer, whether it be me being forced to leave my previous lifestyle or some sort of moral principle Brig has that makes him want to become an adventurer even at his own risk.
[Type below:] What short/long term goals does your
character have? [75 words max] If the world continued in its
peaceful state, what would you'd be working towards
for?
To share peace across the entire world, maybe become a local leader or adjudicator where the people willingly entrust their matters with Brig knowing he is a just man. Or become a wealthy merchant to turn his modest village into something that could be considered a city or even a capital.
Relationships
[Type below:] Which people are important for your
character? [75 words max] Who does your character consider
important at the start of the campaign? Name at least 2 other
people
His Uncle and his cousins he has the deepest bond with, his uncle the equivalent of his father and his cousins the equivalent of his siblings, there is nothing he wouldn’t do for them. Also the people of Dunesveil he has a special place in his heart for them and if they ask for his help he would gladly lend a hand without expecting a reward in return.
[Type below:] What connections do your character have
to the other player characters? [175 words max] communicate
with the other players and create two positive connections
with two other player characters. Could have been
friendship, coworkers, family relation or any relation that
results in some degree of trust
[Type below:] Name an agreement you have made to
another player character that you would honor. [75 words
max] Communicate and agree on what agreement your
character has made to one of the two other characters (you
have connections to), that you wouldn't break.
[Type below:] What are some good personality
qualities that your character has as an adventurer? [75
words max] To ensure that the group doesn't have
problematic characters everyone else will hate, tell us
why would others trust and like your character as a
fellow adventurer
Brig is very noble in heart, much like his fathers before him. He always helps and puts others before himself. Brig lives by the motto “We are a people like kings, we never ask but if we are given we never reject.” so while he might not ask for rewards if he does any favor but he would never turn it away to avoid seeming rude. He is a very likeable person and his humble upbringing leaves few people being envious of him.
Flaws
[Type below:] What personality trait of your character has been proven problematic?[75 words max] What are your character plans on dealing with it or improving themselves?
While he may be forgiving he is not very tolerant. His short-sightedness might make him jump the gun trying to be the hero without planning or thinking about the consequences that will follow his actions regardless of if it was justified or not. He also is a very slow learner. While his knowledge of the desert, surroundings of dunesveil and the following trade route north and south might seem impressive to outsiders that is only because he has spent the majority of his life learning them. Any new skill or piece of knowledge only comes after long sleepless nights and a ton of hardwork.
