My backstory is a mystery at the moment. I wish to create this as I go along, and to slowly expand on my character as more questions arise. I hope you can understand!
Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
Example: "Me?" I exclaim. I place a couple feet ahead, without startling this old woman. "I am a snow elf. You may or may not have heard of my kind." I proceed to sit down closer to her on a stool. "I guess I can fill in a few more details. It's not like I'm going anywhere else tonight after a day on the road". I plant a seat by her. Being slightly concerned by hear piercing gaze. "I know little about my father or mother. I am an orphan, you see?" I twiddle around a device on my necklace which contains a very strange symbol. "There are some in my kind that know of the meaning of this symbol. I, of course, do not. It is answers I seek. And only answers I'll find on the road to my kind again".
