@MarraktI'm writing a paladin of Ilmatter, but I was wondering if this is too out of place. The Compassion god has his base followers in icy region but how would this work under Auril's control region?

@Guardian Angel Haruki Yeah, my bad, I completely missed that they were in the book as well as Wild Beyond the Witchlight, carry on :D.

In terms of languages, I'd certainly recommend Dwarven as a good language to take in this area, and I'd also say Reghedjic (spoken by the Reghed barbarians of Icewind Dale). If you wanted to get a bit more exotic with your choice, you could also take Jotun (Giant).

For more inspiration though you could check out this link https://www.oakthorne.net/wiki/index.php/Languages_in_the_North.

@Marrakt so for Background I was wondering if I could do something like mash Sage with Hermit with a flavoring of Criminal. So like start with manacles on my arms, maybe ragged holy vestments and common clothes. Very few gold.

But no features seem to fit all that well, as I'm going for a Cleric who was essentially expunged from the church after discovering something he shouldn't have and framed for a crime of which he did not commit. Possibly sent far north where the prostration of Deneir is not all that popular or to one of the prisons that no doubt lay somewhere in the mountains.

I'm just writing it down on a physical sheet atm cause I find it easier and once I'm done ill post the proper format.

I took Observant as my feat for Variant Human, just a flavorful one. As he is an observant lad. Also one of his traits is when a topic he is familiar with or well learnt in is brought up he talks endlessly and just doesn't shut up.

@Marrakt

Would you be willing to accept another?

Appearance:

Without Hat [+]

With Hat [+]

Personality: Stoic and focused, Liamoira is ready for anything. However, she does have habits based on superstitions and can be a little...too serious at times. Despite her cold exterior, she still cares about the people around her.

Backstory: Once upon a time, Liamoira lived alone in Feywild. Her father abandoned her when she was young, while her mother had disappeared to an unknown fate. While she had no family, she was a part of a group of Harengons that she considered siblings of hers. There were five older siblings and three younger siblings. They were a tight knit group! ...That is until they decided that stealing from travelers was a great idea.

Liamoira disagreed and argued against stealing, but none would listen. And there was good reason: They lived a comfortable life from their crimes. They were even able to find a mansion and live a life there.

Liamoira decided to become an investigator because another investigator caught her and her friends, but did not bring them to face punishment after learning about their circumstances. Liamoira was inspired by this investigator and she followed him. She wanted him to teach her how to be an investigator herself.

So, he did. He also revealed that he knew how to traverse through the mists and brought her out of the Feywild.

During their travels, Liamoira found that she had a way with animals, able to calm them with a soothing word or touch. So, her mentor decided to teach her the ways of being a ranger.

During her travels, both she and her mentor encountered many mysteries and dangers within the mists. The most notable of all was when she and her mentor was in Ravenloft. The both of them recognized a demon, despite his illusion. He was manipulating the townsfolk to his own ends. Of course, the demon noticed and had her mentor arrested.

Liamoira tried to rescue him, but her 'hare-brained' plan didn't work. She tried to kidnap a demon's faithful and most important lackey in an attempt to try and get her mentor back through a hostage exchange. But she was nearly caught in the act. She had to flee and she is now wanted in Ravenloft for the crime of kidnapping.

After that, she made it to the Icewind Dales, the Spine of the World, in the Material Plane. There, she remained for years, growing accustomed to the ice and snow, surviving through the harshest of winters. She also puts her investigation skills to good use, helping those who were wronged.

Liamoira's Character Sheet

Anenome "Annie" Stoneskipper [+]

Name: Anenome "Annie" Stoneskipper
Race: Hexblood
Class: Warlock (Fathomless Patron)
Background: Feylost

Personality Traits:
- "I was raised by sea hags, and as such, have a very warped view as to what is 'beautiful'."
- "I am very excited to learn new things. Perhaps even a little TOO excited."
Bonds:
- "I'm afraid my sea hag 'aunts' are still looking for me."
- "I am searching for the family my 'aunts' stole me from... my family."
Ideal:
"Honesty. You should always be open and truthful with the people you care about."
"Freedom. No one should feel like they are trapped."
Flaws:
- "I lived an incredibly sheltered life and now I'm free in the world, my lack of knowledge and street smarts make me an easy target."
- "I can be extremely petty when I feel I've been wronged."

Appearance: Annie appears as a young woman in about her early twenties, standing at about 5'10" though often appearing shorter due to her tendency to hunch over. She's pale with a bluish hue to her skin, golden eyes and long hair that appears as if it were made of sea weed. As with all hexbloods, she has ears that split in forked points and an eldercross - an irremovable living crown, hers appearing to be made of golden coral. She tends to prefer flowy clothes, often in dark, cool colours, and often topped off with a cape which often has its hood drawn when she's in unfamiliar places.

Personality: Annie's upbringing by her sea hag 'aunts' has left her with a... unique perspective world: she sees beauty and finds joy in some of the most bizarre and even dire situations. This, along with the fact that the world is so new to her, means that she wants to see and experience everything and meet everyone, and has very little restraint in doing so, filled with seemingly boundless energy and a bubbly enthusiasm for life. She can have her down moments, of course, especially if she feels wronged or offended, but these rarely last long thanks to her having a very short attention span. Any upsetting thoughts usually dissipate the moment she sees something new and exciting.

That being said, Annie does have a loneliness to her, having so few friends besides her aunts that she is willing to consider any stranger who shows her the slightest bit of kindness to her a friend. To her friends, she is something of a people-pleaser, going out of her way to make those around her happy, and she will put up with all kinds of behaviour from them... except lying, of course. She can't handle it when people she cares about lie to her.

Backstory: Annie was raised in the Feywild by her two sea hag 'aunts', Margot Minnowcatcher and Ivette Icebreaker, to replace the deceased member of their coven, Sadie Stoneskipper. Annie doesn't remember anything of her life before she was found, only that her aunts supposedly rescued her from a near-death situation and because of that, she should be grateful to them and do whatever she tells them. For the longest time, that was Anenome was happy to do so: she trained with her aunts to do the same magic that they could, and believed all the things they told her about the Feywild and the realms beyond. Sure, they weren't always the nicest to her - Isolde in particular was quick to threaten her with violence the moment she did even the slightest thing wrong - but they were the only family she had and she did, in her own way, love and admire them.

It was only when she reached adulthood that things took a turn. Annie had already become a little more rebellious, her curiosity to experience the world away from her aunts' influence causing her to often sneak away and would often draw their ire, but the thing that finally pushed her away from them was when she overheard them talking about her. She would often hear them muttering about things when they thought she was out of earshot. Through these secret conversations, she discovered how they really felt about her and, more importantly, that they had not rescued her like they had said, but instead stole her away from her real family on the material plane. Distraught, Annie decided to run away from her aunts, packing away any random objects she could find and leaving their cottage. Eventually, she even found a way out of the Feywild and to the Matieral Plane, where her search for her real family has lead her to Icewind Dale.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

A backstory involving both Agdon Longscarf and Strahd von Zarovich? Cool!

Are you sure you want her to have been in Icewind Dale for years though? Going years without advancing past level 1 seems a little odd to me.
