Scorned Accuser (5e Background)
From D&D Wiki
Scorned Accuser[edit]
This is a background based on Poor Man's Poison's song "Hell's Comin' With Me". In short, you grew up in a small town, in a small valley, in a small region. You had a rough life there speaking out against a black magician who ran the area and were beaten frequently until you decided to leave and swore to return for revenge. You returned years later, as you promised you were coming back to the town. Wrecking the place, burning their buildings, and hanging the black magician, the people were afraid. "I am the righteous hand of god, and I am the devil that you forgot. I told you 'One day you will see that I'll be back, I guarantee', and Hell's Comin' With Me."
However, after all of it ended... you didn't know what to do. Your revenge already completed, you wandered from town to town seeking something to make your life have a point again.
What reason do you find for living? Drink? Education? Perhaps justice, aiding others in the situation you were in?
