<-- Lead post text here -->

Any ideas welcome!! Id like some ideas that incorporate the characters backstory and some that don't.

Here are the classes/rough backstories.

Paladin. Backstory - was a soldier, their town/family was destroyed whilst they were away on duty. (i think i may let someone from their family survive that they find out at a much later date)

Ranger. Backstory - Wants to make a name for himself/ become rich and find true friends. Caught stealing, choose military over jail. military treated him poorly because of his hideous appearance, sent him to guard the swamp as a joke and he mistook Shrek for an orc and killed him. (its going to be a juicy/weird campaign i know lol)

Druid. Backstory - outlander. small clan was overprotective and she ran away for freedom and to find herself. wants revenge on people who have attacked her clan.

Rogue. But no backstory on him. I want to incorporate them into the thieves guild either willingly or by a blackmail/choice.

Fighter. No backstory.

Maybe a Cleric. not sure but no backstory on him either.

Please and thank you for any ideas!!!

What about a monk that was kidnapped as a child and forced to join the monastary and he or she now has a secret hatred for their monastery and seeks to covertly destroy them.

Ranger background sounds like a lot of fun to write. As to the Paladin Background, i could definatly also see something like that being a warlock background as well, like he returns a day too late to save the town and something offers him vengence. Maybe he begins to question his faith, and begins to hunt whatever did this down and is forced to find his faith again piece by piece in those he fights alongside.
