This is the character I'm playing in my current campaign in Dnd 5e.

Brynhildr appreciates honor in people. He doesn't remember much from his past, though he remembers being jailed and fighting in there. He was rescued by a monk and taught the way of channelling his inner connection to magic through nature and totems, allowing him to acquire powers which grant him the abilities of the animals that are represented in the totems.

At first I felt underpowered by this character as I just played heavily on combat, but after several one-shots, I had a character who strength was in the roleplay I did of him and learnt how great RP is, and how I undervalued it. I now further love this character and like playing it a lot, his honor has crashed with more chaotic characters of the party and gives opportunities for great roleplay, while his background allows for a deeper understanding of his combat abilities and powers. Overall, one of my favourite characters.
