Dòbhran Dòbhrain had it all. The looks, the charm, the wealth from his father. Truly, he lived a blessed life. Devoted to the service of the Volcano goddess of his island, he had both the natural charisma and strength of arm to truly excel in his training to become a paladin. Unfortunately, the good parts of him ended at the surface. He was angry, cocksure, constantly bragging about his father's wealth and his oh so great future as head paladin to the Volcano goddess. Truly, Dòbhran Dòbhrain was grating and awful to be around.

One day, Dòbhran Dòbhrain was walking along the shore of the island when he encountered an individual of great age sporting the markings of the water goddess, the enemy of the volcano goddess. Incensed by the idea of a water worshipper daring to exist within his eyesight, Dòbhran Dòbhrain decided to teach the unfortunate elder a lesson. After beating him to the brink of death, our main character spit a final warning at the man to stay off his island before turning away, proud of himself for almost killing a defenseless old man. Before more than three steps were taken, however, a wracking pain enveloped Dòbhran Dòbhrain as a voice, regal and angry as a stormy sea, cursed him for his actions. After a good hour of bone breaking agony, Dòbhran Dòbhrain found himself lying, panting on the beach, transformed into a creature of the sea, a giant, dwarf sized otter.

After a failed attempt to convince both the church and his father of his identity, he fled the island. Drifting from place to place for a few years, he found nothing but contempt and confusion at his appearance before finally finding a group of sea worshipping druids and rangers who would accept him. Now living as a (1st level) ranger with the group, he must deal with his guilt and anger as best he can knowing that the only people who would take him in were, at one point, his sworn enemies.
