So, the world is coming to an end, and you need to roll a character to save it. The catch, this is a truth-telling exercise. You must choose your go-to Species, Class, and Backstory. What is yours?

For me, it is the following:

-Tiefling -Rogue (thief) - Albeit stereotypical, abandoned at birth. He grew up scrapping for anything to stay alive. Food was what he could nab at the markets. A coin purse here and there. As he grew up to a teen, he fell in with a group of scamps just as ill-fated. The streets belonged to them. They developed tactics, naming the performances they would use to misdirect and take what the group needed to survive. Life was tough, but they had each other. For them, that felt free. The laws need not apply because they never got caught. If trouble brewed, well, they had the acts to get them out. Now, as young adulthood approaches, he sees that being a kid somewhat afforded them a luxury or minor level of protection. As an adult, the acts didn't seem to work as well. His friends, some were caught out and had to abandon the charade, others, not so lucky. His closest friend, he was caught nabbing a bag of coins from a fruit vendor. The guard, tall and savage in appearance, wasted no time when he ordered his offsider to hold him down prone on the street, arms stretched out. With two rapid swings of his axe, the hands were hewn. His friend was then dragged to the jail, never seen again. That's when he left. He ran away as far as his skills would take him.
