Hi Sherbros,
Would appreciate some ideas for the backstory of a Level 3 Neutral Good Tortle Druid I will be playing as soon,
I'm not super experience with D&D or creative writing, but have played a few sessions years ago,
So far i've thought of perhaps awakening on a beach, near dead after an unknown event(potentially ship/weather/combat related), shell broken/removed and tail removed.. Passing in and out of consciousness but perhaps aided back to full health via Chwinga elemental spirits or something else, Shell fixed now with elemental magic.
Followed by,
Now recovered and mobile
I have been adventuring in an attempt to learn more of the mysterious spirits who fixed me, and any clues of what my life before might have been prior to that.
Since being repaired I have noticed I now have magical abilities, also a new found admiration for Nature + Elements .
I'm not super content with what i've got though, especially the Bold part, amnesia kinda feels played out, but struggling to piece together exactly what my background and new purpose should be,
I also need a reason to include the wild companion feature.
I'm thinking of using the Mary River Turtle as my appearance inspiration,
Feel like Circle Of The Moon Druid will also make sense,
Few other notes,
Tortles Believe in the Sun watching over them in the day and the Moon keeping them safe in darkness- Nervous and uneasy when either orb not seen in the sky. Blessed are the days when both are visible at the same time.
Probably go with these skills:
Animal Handling since awakening
Nature
Survival
Can leave Druidic messages and speak the Druidic language .
Thanks
