So I'm thinking both of them would be young and his husband is a noble

Nice idea Cosmic. It would work especially well with the scene if Thatguy's husband was a famous smith.

Finally submitted my Tempest Cleric, Torden Stormhammer. He's just missing one very important thing: a Background. I'm not sure if any of the available ones fit. I see him as a traveler. Not a nomad, precisely (so Outlander doesn't really work), he still has very strong ties to Kaled Del but he spends a lot of time on the surface and is a worshipper of Morthammor Duin. Would it make sense to tweak a Sailor so it's land-based?
Weapon for the magic item, I think. Torden favors the maul. :-)

Jabes, here is a homebrew one I saw on reddit.

Oops, got cut off there before I finished. Edited now. That's an interesting one, thatguy2. Let's see what Len says. :-)

Thanks Cosmic and Jabes. Both characters look great. Jabes, go ahead and use the Wanderer homebrew background if you like, or feel free to reflavour Sailor as a wanderer.

Should we be specifying whether our PC is a Breacher or a Preacher? We would know that about each other, right?

So filling in the back story Finn would most likely have sided with the Breacher's since he is already dealing with spirits and evil ones don't scare him too much. He was chosen due to his knowledge in the arcane powers and it was deemed helpful. He has always helped the police with their investigations since he was able to go undercover (Disguise Self) and was an excellent interrogator (Detect thoughts). Finn however is a scammer at heart and gets a thrill from taking from the more wealth and putting them to shame when they realize they have been duped. Even when he did get caught in his younger days for attempting to scam one of the nobles children. he used his magic to cut a deal and that when he began to work for the police. Now as he is older the police almost always look the other way since Finn has helped them so many times.
Hope thats a good backstory let me know if I need to fill in more

Thorin Copperhearth grew up as the son of a soldier and his wife. He ultimately joined the army as cavalry, where he would meet the noble captain Bruenor Copperhearth. The two courted and ultimately left the army to be married. He has proven himself repeatedly, being one of the fastest ones to rise through the ranks of the army, which is why he was selected. Hopefully this works let me know if I need to fill in anything

If it's alright with the DM, I'd like to say that Aldrik led the charge to force the goblins out of his own town, and has since then done the same for at least a few others.

Thanks for those backstories Cosmic, Thatguy, and Snowy. I'll try to include what I can of that in the story. Snowy especially, sorry I didn't get a chance to include the crime fighter aspect in your character intro; I did my post at work, and for some reason this thread didn't update on our internet.
Jabes had an interesting question. Your characters can side with Breachers or Preachers to whatever degree you want, or remain undecided. In general, connect your character to the story in any way that feels authentic and fun.

Quote:
After a century, Kaled Del grew weary of war and fearful of economic collapse. Without strong leadership, support for breaching the Oathreach surged. Those who would pierce the Oathreach are called Breachers and have swayed Bofbur to their side. Those who would not are call Preachers and have made Durond their ally. Now, every clan, guild, and household is split in half. Civil society is crumbling as communication breaks down between the two camps, and nothing can be done as the entire government is deadlocked.Last edited January 10, 2017 5:51 pm

Thanks Jabes. In case the story is still obfuscating the meaning of those words:
Breachers = the Dwarves who want to dig deeper into the earth, even though their father's father's fathers swore never to dig below a certain depth (the Oathreach).
Preachers = the Dwarves who do not want to dig past the Oathreach under any circumstance, even if it means their kingdom must be abandoned.
