Race: Variant Human
Class: Barbarian 2, Monk 1
Description: Darnell is a former criminal, after a horrible incident he caused, he swore to change his life. Becoming less impulsive and more in controle of his emotions.
Character Overview:
Darnell is amicable, though a bit hot headed. He leans more into physique than mental strength. hates being alone over longer periods, a couple of days is fine, but after that he begins feeling depressed. If given the chance, he'd rather persuade a guard that it's in their best interest to let Darnell pass, than outright fight them. His fear of being alone, also makes him insecure, vulnerable to the feeling of not being good enough, so he quickly blows up at the slightest insult.
He fully believes that he needs to be one of the good guys, and now does so by redistributing wealth. Stealing from the rich, and giving to those in need.
Darnell's conscience weighs heavy on him, as he feels responsible for the deaths of dozens innocent townfolk, after a job that went wrong. He still fears to hurt the innocent, and is out for redemption.
Backstory:
Darnell was always one of the bigger boys at home. Powerful and quick, he sought out for adventure at a young age. He quickly found out that life on the road was a lot more demanding than living and working on a farm. After being betrayed by a group of adventures he admired, his heart grew darker. Those adventures were supposed to be the heroes, but they made him pay the price for the crimes they committed. As the world and that which society holds deer apparently was against him, he would be against the world.
Committing minor crimes like theft, one day he stole from the wrong person. She was a member of a band of bandits, and though at first she wanted to make him suffer, she saw that he could be of value to their group. So he was given the choice between death, or working for a group of bandits. They manipulated his need for acceptance to make him commit crimes like theft and robbery.
During one time, his group stopped a caravan of multiple carts, demanding payment to pass them. As this transaction was taking place at the front, Darnell walked past the carts. Suddenly he heard laughter, and as he looked he saw a teenage boy laughing pointing at him. This made him so angry, that he lost control of himself, and started attacking the people on the caravan. In the end, the bandits killed everyone. During the looting, he found a talisman from his village, quickly realising that he was responsible for murdering someone from his hometown. Extremely distraught, he jumped on a horse and rode of as fast as the horse could.
Leaving the scene of his crime, and leaving the bandits behind, he is hell bent on redemption. He wants to be in control of his emotions, and to not lose his temper so quickly. Finding refuge in a temple of Lathander, he found a chance at redemption. Setting out to train as a monk, and restore the balance of his conscience.
