Long before I began writing RESOLUTE DEATH, I saw a man sitting on a bench park, looking thoughtfully at the trees. He reminded me of someone I knew as a child.

Got 33 seconds? Meet Ed Pagano.

You don't want to meet the chancellor of Osley College, Ivy Edris, in a dark alley.

It likely means you got drunk & left behind by your buddies. She regularly patrols to make sure students are safe. 🎓🫂

How elaborate do your players get with their character’s backstory?

Do you work with them to fit their grandiose beginnings into your level 1 campaign?

How often do details from the backstory come up during the campaign?

Apricity was taken in by Malia, a Madam of Meletis, wooed in her naiveté. She was trained as a courtesan under false promises, caged again.

Here is an excerpt from her backstory.

#ttrpg #characterbackstory #writingcommunity
Apricity had never seen a city other than Satessa before and, compared to Meletis, that hardly qualified. She quickly became lost along the wending avenues, overwhelmed by the noise and sights and press of people all around her. Her nose led her to a small tavern on a quiet street, one of the few paths seemingly vacant despite the rush of the day's work. The barkeep seemed surprised to see her enter; the lavish room not quite ready for customers. He studied her up and down before drawing her to the bar and asking what he could get her. He was a kindly looking older human, and when she slid her copper over to him without a word, he took it, disappearing in the back. He returned nearly a half hour later with a piping hot bowl of stew and a beautiful human woman. She wore folds of rich fabrics carefully pinned to accentuate her lithe figure, her neckline plunging down to her navel leaving very little to the imagination, long tumbling curls of the deepest earthen brown framing her delicately featured face. Apricity blushed, turning her focus to the stew as the woman prowled toward her, a predator seeking prey, the older man making a discreet exit. “My, you are quite the gem!” The woman sighed in a melodic voice, tangling locks of Apricity’s wild red hair between her delicately manicured fingers.

Adelaide met Jorra years ago, during her clinicals. It was an unlikely place for people of their status to meet, but be perhaps it was fate.

Here is an excerpt from her backstory.

Art Credit: @delvulpe.bsky.social

#ttrpg #characterbackstory #writingcommunity
Adelaide's eye flitted up to meet his gaze and she froze. He seemed to unravel her, seeing through the oversized coat and exhaustion bruised eyes to the girl beneath. It was unnerving. Adelaide cleared her throat and continued, “Jorra then. Let's get this cleaned up first, then we'll discuss options.” “It’s a scratch,” Jorra grumbled, glancing away as she dabbed iodine along the tender skin. “You told triage you were losing sensation in your fingers,” Adelaide replied, glancing up with a small, reassuring smile. “Let me do my job, Sir.” There was a long pause. Then, softly, “As you wish, Ms…?” “Montgomery,” Adelaide said, not looking up this time. She knew what followed.
