I’ll go first. He’s a reborn necromancer wizard, with a 1 level dip into death cleric.

His backstory comes with a clichénwarning for lost memories…

He lost his memory just before the start of the campaign. He was conducting a gruesome experiment on a dog, when something went wrong involving lightning. He died, but also didn’t, and came to wandering around his lab years later, clutching the skull of the dog, which had rotted away to just bone.

He didn’t have a name at the start of the campaign. I let a different player name him, as his character knew mine from before the accident. He came up with the truly awful name Melvin Kingston, which I’ve grown to love. He had a massive fear of death, having died once already, and was quite the coward in early levels.

His memories have been slowly returning, and he’s had to come to terms with all the evil things he did in his previous life. I recently took a level in death domain cleric, cos we had no healer, and I found the god Jergal, Scribe of the Doomed, who is concerned only with documenting the dead in his great book. Melvin’s faith has allowed him to come to terms with death, and accept it as a part of life. (His newfound ability ro wear medium armor has helped as well, lol). I love having 8 cantrips, and so so many spells to choose from. I have so many options!

I love playing him, and I’m loving the progression he’s gone through. I have more planned for him.

Now your turn!

    I’m in the process of making a mute druid with a wolf companion, but I don’t really have a whole lot of details figured out other than that he was captured and experimented on, and then the wolf saved him, but as a result he doesn’t know Common.

      Wow, that’s cool!

      I don’t mean to state the obvious, but won’t that be really hars to play? How will they communicate with other party members? Or are you okay sitting back and letting others do all the talking. Personally I’d find that really hard!

            Yeah, I’m not gonna try doing a completely mute character on my second campaign lol (Technically the first one never ended and drama happened so I guess this one could technically be my new first campaign lol) Anyways, I’m really excited to play him cause my friend is the DM and she’s got lots of ideas for the world so I can’t wait to see what she makes.
