Backstory
Your character has ended up in Veil's End. Whatever their origin, whatever brought them here, they are now a Reclaimer. That is the foundation.
Why did your character join The Reclaimers? What drove them to venture beyond the Veil?
A sentence or two is enough. Was it the promise of gold? A debt to be repaid? Nowhere else to go? Make it yours.
What does your character fear most — whether out in the Shroud or back home in Veil's End?
Optional, but a well-considered fear makes for a more interesting character and gives your DM something to work with.
