Personal history

I was born in Rexxentrum to a single mother. Shortly after I was born, a marriage was arranged between my mother and my stepfather. A few years later, they had twins and I began to feel like more of an outsider in my family. My mother always showed me love and tried to include me as much as she could, but there was always an unspoken distance between me and my stepfamily.
 
Several years later, my stepfather, a Crownsguard, was transferred to Odessloe. I spent a large part of my childhood and my teen years living in a fishing village. My favorite times growing up were when entertainers would stop for a night or two. I loved watching performers and was the most happy when I was surrounded by music. For my birthday one year, my mother bought me a viol, which I still play to this day; it reminds me of her.
 
On the road between Odessloe and Rexxentrum, I came upon a shrine to Avandra, the Changebringer. I met a priest of Avandra there named Aradon. He taught me about her and her commandments and through my worship of her I've learned to take my fate in my own hands fight for my freedom and that of other common people.
 
When I was 22, a traveling performing group came through Odessloe. My mother told me about my father for the first time and said that he used to be a part of that group. She gave me his name in case he was still traveling with him. I inquired and found him.
 
My father stayed behind the rest of the troupe and spent a month or so in Odessloe getting to know me. I saw many of my own qualities and quirks in him and we bonded instantly. Seeing that I was not happy where I was and that I loved music so much, he invited me to join him and the troupe to see a little more of the Empire and maybe even the world outside the Empire.
 
My stepfather felt leaving my family and my town to travel with a troupe was a stupid idea and told me he would consider it an abandonment of the family. In a fit of anger, I said some insulting things about him and my siblings and accidently hurt my sister with a Vicious Mockery spell. I left with my father and the three of them now treat me as if I never existed. I still write to my mother, but I've never stayed in a town long enough to find out if writes back.
 
I traveled all over the empire with my father and his troupe for the better part of two years, learning more about performing, music, and even life outside the empire. My time among freethinkers in the circus helped me connect even more to the Changebringer and her ideals.
 
While traveling with the circus, I began to learn more magic and tried to find ways to work that into some of the performances. While rehearsing one day, I lost control of my magic and accidently injured and disfigured one of the other performers. He is angry that I interfered and, feeling guilty, I decided I would leave the circus.
 
My father told me about the Grinners and gave me the name and description of my older brother. He gave me some clue of where to travel and I've been searching for him ever since.

Personality

Motivation

First and foremost, I'm following Avandra's commandments to make good change in the world and to fight against tyranny. I try to be bold and trust that the luck of Avandra will be with me.
 
I am searching for my older brother who I've never met. My father says he's a Grinner operative. With talk of war, he may be a good contact to have.

Family Ties

Emilia Sommer (she/her)
My mother was always loving and tried her best to include me in the family, but she often felt pulled in two directions and her husband and the twins never quite accepted me the way she wanted. She encouraged my musical abilities and bought me the viol that I still play. She never told me much about my father because she didn't like thinking about her past. I take after my mother's sweet nature, but she can also be very meek.
 
Maxwell Sommer (he/him)
My stepfather was never what anyone would call a loving man. He believed in discipline and responsibility, traits he likely learned from his career as a Crownsguard. He was very strict had little patience for things he deemed frivolous. He would rather I had learned to fight than learned to play the viol and sing, but he let it go when his own children were born. He didn't want to let me travel with my father in the circus and we got into an argument about it. I accidently hurt my sister during the argument and he told to me to leave and not come back.
 
Amelie Sommer (she/her)
Amelie is technically the first born of the twins. She has a tendency to be cruel when she doesn't like people or even just disagrees with them. She is very adept at magic and has applied to the Soltryce Academy a number of times, but hadn't gotten in by the time I left home. Growing up, I was always very sweet to her to try and stay on her good side. When she inserted herself into my argument with Max about the circus, I retorted with an insult and accidently hurt her with a Vicious Mockery spell. I can't imagine she'll ever forgive me for that.
 
Katz Sommer (they/them)
As Amelie's younger twin, Katz has always followed her around like some kind of protector. They showed early talent with weapons and eventually began to train with my stepfather and joined the Crownsguard. Katz is generally very quiet, only really confiding fully in Amelie. They are easily angered, though, and they allow that anger to fester until they let it out all at once. I did well avoiding Katz's anger as a child, but I worry that after what I did to Amelie, Katz has it out for me. 
 
Wit (he/him)
I didn't know my father most of my life. My mother only told me about him when the circus he performed in made its way back to town. She encouraged me to take that opportunity to get to know him. I spent some time with him in Odessloe and then in Rexxentrum before deciding I wanted to learn more from him and the others in the circus. He said he saw potential in me and invited me to join the circus. I spent about a year and half traveling with the circus, learning new skills and magic before I hurt someone in the circus and left. When I left, he told me about my brother and said I should find him.
 
Ambition (he/him)
The only things I know about my brother what my father has told me. He's a red tiefling (like my father) and he's a member of some organization called the Grinners. My father didn't tell me much about the organization, but he said he knows Ambition was working to get into the empire the last he had heard from him. When I left the circus, my father recommended I try to find him.

Religious Views

Meeting Aradon on the road from Odessloe to Rexxentrum was truly Avandra's way of showing me I should take control of my own destiny. He taught me about her ideals of change (for good), freedom, and being bold. Aradon gave me a coin with her face on it and told me it would bring me luck if I followed her commandments.
 
It turns out my father worships her, as well. He spent the year and half I traveled with the circus teaching me more about her and reminding me to let go of my fears, be bold, and make good change in the world.
