[quote=@Lugubrious] I'm not sure I can say that. Our characters should ideally come from games -and stories- that exist, with only a little up to interpretation or filling in the gaps. A Tarnished should hail from the Lands Between in the course of the story experienced in Elden Ring, and unless I've wildly misunderstood things, your character's backstory is rather different. It ends as beams of inexplicable light consume all. In addition, it has been six and a half IC days since the encounter with Kirby on Precipice Knoll. Any new recruits aren't joining at the start of the journey, but where we are now. As for non-backstory elements, which may or may not also be in progress, Powers should be explained and Weaknesses should deal with the character's personal shortcomings. Not only is an unfamiliarity with the WOL something not personal to him, but depending on where he was 'integrated' prior to joining the story, he may be very familiar with the area he's ended up in. I should probably look into reworking some elements of the OP that have become cumbersome, outdated, and unclear, in all honesty. [/quote] Hm, ok. I guess the backstory is just: He was about to kill the Elden Beast and instead a great beam of light took him away
