Who the f*** is my D&D character?

[Mike]

SENTIMENTAL HALF-ORC WIZARD FROM A VILLAGE WITHOUT CHILDREN WHO DRUNKENLY SWORE A BLOOD OATH AND FORGOT WHAT FOR

That's my favorite one so far. I can play that.

randomly generates a character with background. I really love this.

INTOLERANT HALFLING PALADIN FROM A FREE THINKERS COMMUNE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN KISSED

DEMURE HUMAN CLERIC FROM AN UNCHARTABLE ISLAND WHO BELIEVES TREES CAN SPEAK TO THEM AND THEM ALONE

TALENTED HUMAN PALADIN FROM AN OASIS VILLAGE WHO CAN ONLY WHISPER AFTER AN ATTEMPTED HANGING

MEAN DWARVEN CLERIC FROM THE SMALLEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD WHO LOOTS EVERY KILL BUT LEAVES ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THEIR BURIAL

There's not a loser in the bunch. Or rather... most of them are losers in totally awesome ways.

I would love to play these as a one-off sometime. The GM rolls and posts 10 or 12 of these, making sure there's a decent mix of classes to choose from, and then the players each pick one that appeals to them and designs the character around it.

I'm in:

SASSY DWARF MONK FROM THE SMALLEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD WHO MAKES ALL MINOR DECISIONS BY FLIPPING A COIN

[Elle]

stoic Elf Druid from a fallen kingdom who suffers from crippling stage-fright

(lucky it wasn't a bard)

[Stan]

They also seem to update the source tables occasionally.

DETERMINED DRAGONBORN PALADIN FROM A FALLEN KINGDOM WHO ONLY SLEEPS WITH THE LIGHTS ON

MACHIAVELLIAN HALFLING BARD FROM A SLEEPY HARBOUR TOWN WHO IS HAUNTED BY THE GHOSTS OF THOSE THEY KILL

SASSY ELF CLERIC FROM AN ISLAND THAT CAN'T BE REACHED BY BOAT WHO SECRETLY BECAME AN ADVENTURER TO IMPRESS A LOVE INTEREST

[Mike]

Machiavellian? How dare you. I think it may be useful to me to make you feel really guilty about that.

[Zen]

BITCHY ELF SORCERER FROM THE WILDERNESS WHO HAS A SERIOUS WEAPONS FETISH

CONFIDENT DRAGONBORN MONK FROM A SECRET BRAWLER'S GUILD WHO OWES MONEY TO THE WRONG PEOPLE

RELIABLE HALF-ORC CLERIC FROM A QUIET WOODLAND HUT WHO BELIEVES THE UNDEAD SHOULD BE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE

GLOOMY ELF FIGHTER FROM THE SHIFTING DESERT WHO DOESN'T HAVE A REFLECTION

ANXIOUS HALF-ORC WARLOCK FROM A NOCTURNAL TOWN WHO CONSTANTLY PLACES THEMSELVES IN DANGER, JUST TO PROVE A POINT

LAZY GNOME ROGUE FROM A ROYAL LINEAGE WHO CAN'T STAND CHILDREN

I personally like the Bitchy Elf Sorcerer and the Reliable Half-Orc Cleric...

Impatient Half-orc Sorcerer from a recently erupted volcano village who ran afoul of the goblin mob.
