BACKGROUND


PIRATE
Source PHB


  • Personality Traits: I stretch the truth for the sake of a good story.
  • Ideals: Freedom. The sea is freedom—the freedom to go anywhere and do anything.
  • Bonds: I’ll always remember my first ship.
  • Flaws: I can’t help but pocket loose coins and other trinkets I come across.

Background Feature: Bad Reputation

No matter where you go, people are afraid of you due to your reputation. When you are in a settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activity to the authorities.


BACKSTORY

The rivers of Greyhawk are filled with the commerce of the region. The natural order of things is that piracy trails commerce.

One such gang of ill-gotten gains stole from the wrong merchant prince of Greyhawk. When they got caught -and they all most certainly did- they were put into debtors prison in Greyhawk under the watchful eye of the merchant prince himself. His reach was far beyond what they could have imagined. Life was rough for them in the debtor's prison, made worse by the lackeys the man had placed there through his influence.

Eventually though, debts were paid enough for their release. With no more than two skills between the lot of them, they eventually returned to their old ways. But this time, they were smart enough to check their targets. When they were caught a second time, many of them were sent off to the mines. Armando among them.

For a decade, Armando worked as a rail cart attendant. His physical limitations made him a useless miner, but he had a few other talents that could render him worth his daily bread crumbs. The merchant prince had friends in the mines too, but Armando had learned his lesson the second time and cut ties with the old group. It only made his time in the mines more isolated. But he saw a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. He knew there were jobs for regular folk in town once debtor's life was over. Or so he imagined there would be for someone like him.

When his second stint was finished, Armando left the mines a free man. But free doesn't mean free, and memories don't magically get forgotten. Armando has been a Diamond Lake vagrant for the better part of four seasons. Splitting his time between keeping his head above water and avoiding his old gang. He's had a dozen different jobs in that time, but each time the old group even sniffs around he tends to bolt.

The best money has come from working as a porter for the Twilight Monastery. They don't ask a ton of questions and he doesn't either. Not being affiliated with them outside the work has led to a few hiccups in him getting paid as regularly or getting picked up for porter jobs. But the pay -when it does come through- is a like a honey bee high.

Something has changed recently. He can feel it in his weathered old bones. A deal he made in his youth has resurfaced. He first heard the voice in a bucket of rain water. Then again in a horse trough outside the stables. It's getting louder and he knows it might be time to give in; it can't be any worse than what he's been up to anyways.
