So how many of you dudes/dudettes have characters with a background story? I used to have some convoluted bullshit involving Kajidoh, but I pretty much pulled Fomalhaut and Pedrolino right out of my asshole. It was kind of goopy...

I also have a story for my gnoll but it has all since been retconned. He's pretty much just another bloodthirsty, quick witted gnoll. Fggg, one day, will marry Teacup. And Skreth. And there will be little gnoll babies, feeding on the flesh of mortals.

What kinda story does you character have, and what all inspired you? For Kajidoh, it was some unholy Chinese sorceror combining animals of the zodiac together (though later on in my roleplay days I pretty much just set Kajidoh as a blob that took on traits on whatever he absorbed, one such thing being a gorgon), and then by some magical happenstance was related to the dragon wolf Cypher.

And for Fggg, well, he was a gnoll raised in Sultan Something-or-another's court in the Ottoman Empire, then became a high ranking corsair in the port of Algiers. I had noticed that a lot of gnolls were pirates, but I wanted to do something a little different. He speaks little of the Queen's English.
