# Basics
## Why is your character adventuring? Alternatively, why do they seek money, fame, or treasure?
_Do they want to see the world? Are they searching for something? Do they wish to acquire power to use against those that may have wronged them?_
## Give your DM one or more hooks they can use against you:
_Did they anger a local merchant by sabotaging their operation? Are they being hunted by a tribe of Orcs? Do they owe money to a ruthless loan shark?_
## If your character were to hit level 20, where do you see them? What is their influence on the world?
_Did their inventions become the catalyst that sparked an entire industry? Are they the head of the most prestigious university in the realm? Maybe even a god?_
## Does your character have a secret? (optional)
_Are they the forgotten heir of a king? Secretly a vampire? Forced to adventure against their will?_
# Backstory
_Spill the beans here. Make it as long or as short as it needs to be, but it should do a good job covering all of the above_
