First time playing DnD
I'm playing my session zero in a few days, and until then I am creating a character. So far, I have a pretty decent class, race, and backstory Imo. If anyone has any feedback on the logistics of my character's backstory, that would be great.
Bonus Question... How do I go about assigning points since this character technically has two different classes?
This character is a Dragon-Blood, Half-Elf Rogue (Draconic Rogue). I hope I didn't shoot too far with this... here's his story.
Jakar Verys
He is a dragon-blooded half-elf born to parents who work as thieves and spies. He grows somewhat larger than his parents but remains comparatively small among others of his kind.
He learns many skills from his parents in his youth, including stealth, agility, infiltration, observation, and moving unnoticed.
He eventually discovers that he is a descendant of the ancient emerald dragon Raulothim. His bloodline traces back to an elf who was with Raulothim before he descended into mass paranoia
He discovers that his dragon blood carries a latent magical power, allowing him to wield magic he never knew he possessed.
Wanting to be different than his parents while learning more about his mysterious bloodline, he travels to Ruathym, where he seeks both answers about his ancestry and an opportunity to join a guild to do good for the world.
He finds and joins a guild that recognizes his natural talent and teaches him disciplined and precise fighting skills. He takes their training and runs with it, developing an exceptional ability to strike with speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
Over time, the guild gradually reveals its darker nature. They force him to carry out increasingly inhumane acts, threatening the livelihood and safety of his parents and younger sister if he refuses.
He eventually becomes a highly skilled assassin, favoring a lightweight weapon suited to his precise and agile fighting style, potentially the Wind Walker Blade.
As his abilities continue to develop, he gains knowledge about his ancestry and slowly but surely learns how to access the magical power that lies within
Realizing that the life he has been forced into is not the life he wants, he devises a plan to escape. Knowing the guild would pursue him and threaten his family, he fakes his own death.
Freed from the guild’s grasp, he disappears under a series of disguises. He continues to practice and understand his newfound magic while keeping his true identity hidden.
Now free from the life he once lived, he waits for the right opportunity to step back into the world as someone who can finally use his abilities for something meaningful.
Please let me know how I did!
