Well I ' ve only really made one character with a backstory I ' ve invested in . He ' s for a campaign set in a slightly different version of a homebrew setting we previously played in that was 5 E . Since I wanted to play an Arcanist and Arcanists aren ' t a thing in 5 E , I decided to have my character be the inventor of the practice . Keverk Hungarian for mixture Varz It seems to be like a Hungarian root word for magic was born to a famous , affluent family of human sorcerers . However , unlike his brothers , sisters , and cousins he was born without any sorcerous talent . He was pretty much an all around embarrassment to the family but his parents did still love him . But when he was growing up , he just had to see his siblings and cousins exploring their sorcerous abilities while he kept to himself . When they found that he was pretty smart , they decided to have him sent to a wizard school at 15 the same wizard school we made in the capital city in the previous campaign . There he was much happier . Magic was now possible for him . But he still felt like his family was just sending him away from them . In school he liked to put his own spin on the magic . Partly because it felt more natural to him and partly because it was easier and he was a little lazy . This spin was Arcanist casting instead of traditional Wizard casting . When the school eventually found out about that , he was faced with expulsion . Rather than returning home , he decided fuck those old wizards ! and went off to do his own thing without really knowing what that ' d be . He adopted Vndor Hungarian for Wanderer as a fake last name and went off . Since this is a 120 campaign , I plan on having him eventually start his own magic school that will teach Arcanist casting .
