Description My current DnD character, Lennora. A human paladin of Hecate, oath of Vengeance, from an Ancient Greek inspired campaign. (Also known as the Goth Jock of the party)

Lennora is one of my favorite DnD characters to play since paladins are so much fun in combat. There's just something so amazing about doing 60+ damage in one turn as a level 5 character that is incredibly satisfying. Before this I only played support characters, but doing damage and being immensely strong is just way more fun than healing. I actually played Lennora's twin brother, Fennix before I played her, he's a cleric of Hecate. I had to take a break from the campaign to focus on school for a while, and when I came back I wanted to play someone a bit more bold and dangerous since he's a sweetheart who pretty much just goes along with whatever. 


Backstory: Lennora and her twin brother, Fennix were found as infants abandoned at a crossroads in northern Greece. The two of them were taken in at a temple of Hecate and raised to worship the goddess. Unfortunately when they were seven, that temple burned down and they were moved to a new one, which also burned down when they were twelve, and the third temple they lived at burned down when they were fifteen. By then it was easy to catch on to the fact that the two of them were cursed with auras of bad luck and misfortune, and those auras just got stronger when the two of them were together, so they were separated. Fennix was sent to a temple in Athens, and Lennora to a temple in Sparta.

For the next ten years Lennora trained in combat and became a bounty hunter, chasing down evildoers and living on the road, anxious not to stay in one place too long in case her bad luck caught up to her. She kept a lot of distance between herself and anyone she cared about, trying her best to damage control the destruction of her curse. She had always been able to feel her twin's presence in the back of her brain, a reminder that he was still there even though they were forced apart. But one day she felt that presence flicker and disappear. She panicked and abandoned her loner lifestyle in order to find him. A few days later she felt his presence flicker back briefly, before vanishing again, but this time there was just enough left in the back of her brain to let her know that he was still alive, just incredibly distant.

Lennora managed to track down Fennix's adventuring companions who had previously thought him dead and reluctantly joined up with them. Now she's trying desperately to find her brother, damage control her bad luck and bad decisions, break their curse, and not get too close to her new party members before she gets everyone, including herself, killed.
