Wild Magic Sorcerer - Sailor - Lore
(Disclaimer: I am not a d&d expert. I am very much a homewbrew, amateur, noob who is just a fan of d&d as a whole and not anywhere even near a beginner in terms of book knowledge or inner workings. I am just using some of the games features and traits (like the character making stuff) and fantasy aesthetic's to mix both my favorite genre and my current hyper fixation together. Please don't try and correct me or anything. I'm doing this purely for fun.)
Sailor is a young lad who always hangs around beachs and ocean towns. He can usually be spotted on docks, boats or anywhere out in the open. Sailor always seemed to have is his obsession with the water. He had a constant want to be in it. He would constantly be found diving, swimming or just shoving his face in the water just to see all the sealife and creatures underneath. Being one who accepted all sealife and would stand up to those who dared to taint the precious waters he loves.
He lost his mother when he was very young and mostly was raised by his father and grandfather. But it was mostly things like tending to boats, how to tie knots, catch fish, and the ways of the trade when it comes to selling goods. He can only partially read and writes in a sloppy way others struggle to read. He also can't fly cause he was never taught properly, only using them to break his falls.
Eventually though his farher and grandfather had left him behind on a voyage that they were a bit skeptical of and didn't want to pull the young bky into. They promised Sailor they would be back, but unfortunately through a sailing friend of Sailor's dad, he foudn out the boat had been taken out by a sea beast and all his fathers crew, his dad and grand dad all perished. Leaving Sailor as an orphan.
After learning all of this, Sailor became devastated and didn't leave the docks that entire day, sitting on the edge, watchinf boats coming and going and hoping maybe one day his family and crew would come back. That this was all a dark lie. He didn't believe a sea beast could have done it— it felt impossible! His family was one that never did anything to upset any sea life, beast, or god/goddess. They were very respectful for the sake of their work and life revolving around it.
That night, Sailor vowed to discover what truly happened to his old men, and avenge them from whatever actually took them away from the world too soon. Suddenly after making himself that solitary vow under a full moon, the light bright against the waves began to glow brighter and fascinated him as he watched it all begin to move faster and splash and suddenly a large being made out of water and magic of some kind arose and admired his resolve and commitment.
The being then told him he'd need assistance and for that reason, alongside the being seeming to have found his spirit contagious, had given him the blessing of magic. Not for any other reason then just as a thank you for his constant, never ending will and fight for the ocean and its inhabitants. This blessed Sailor with the markings on his arms and filled him with magic that he never had before or at least was dorment until now.
He was gifted a shell necklace, a token of having the favor of the deity and allowed him that as long as he wore it. He'd be able to speak to sea creatures as if they were human and also allowed him to breath underwater. He was now a bird that couldn't fly in the sky, but one that could swim and thrive under the waves.
His goal is to form a new crew of his very own and use the gift he was given to get himself a vessel and sail to find the truth to his family and family's crews demise and avenge them, all while remaining, kind, respectful and mindful of the ocean and its rules. (His first crewmate being a down on his luck Brawler he met in a tavern, named Sandbag)
[His compass belongs to his grandfather, and the pearls were a gift from his dad that once belonged to his mom.]
