Leo's Backstory

The earliest I can remember is when I was 6 years old. I saw shadows of devilish creatures running along the walls of my house. My parents assured me they weren't real but my sister saw them too. Tessa is 2 years older than me and always planned my life out for me because my parents were always busy. We would play silly games together and even get our butler Mr.Reginald to play with us. My favorite game was "Warrior" where Tessa and I would use the Fireplace rods to spar with each other. Mr.Reginald was also our at-home teacher, he made sure we knew the importance and basics of politics starting at a young age. He also taught the two of us how to cook, survive in the wild, and protect ourselves.

When I was 10 years old I met my new best friend Zellnixi, she could only speak with me in my dreams but I longed for a friend who wasn't family so I accepted her with open arms, she looked much older than me but that didn't scare me. I have never told Tessa about her for fear of being told it was impossible to have a friend in my dreams.

Mr.Reginald's lessons took up a lot of our daytime so Tessa and I couldn't play, It was like this until I was 15. The nights I spent dreaming and talking to Zellnixi, she asked me all kinds of questions. Tessa finished her lessons 2 years before me, I relied on my dreams to get me through the lessons. On the night of my last lesson, Tessa called me into her room to celebrate, I was told not to tell Mr.Reginald. I was awestruck when I walked in and she was naked on the bed, we locked eyes and I knew what she wanted. I left her room that night feeling anew. My first and best time. The dreams that night were different as well Zellnixi asked if she could tamper with my soul. Zellnixi formed a "Champion Pact" and gave me supernatural beauty amongst other things I could not understand yet.

For the next year, I tried making actual friends within the city, talking to notable nobles and making my name known and gaining powerful connections. during this time I learned of the many thieves guilds operating within the city, I learned to respect them and even made a friend within the Ebonhoods named Lystree. Tessa and I made sure our names were known in the city, not by our fathers or mothers name but by our own names, Lord Leo and Lady Tessa.

When I was 17 years old I left home I left a note on my kitchen table reading, "Dear Family I have left home to learn how the world works and find out how to make people tick. I have taken 25 gold from the safe to tide me over until I return. I shouldn't be gone for more than 2 months." I snuck out of the city with the help of Lystree, and made my way across the ocean to a desert.

I laid low and traveled by caravan hiding my identity wherever I went using a fake name to hide who I was. Zellnixi asked me not to talk to people about her while I was out in the world until I learned to harness the powers she gave me. While I was traveling I jumped from place to place quickly, I made it a habit to visit every brothel house I could with each new town I stopped in. I found out I had a hidden kink for Drow women and usually ended up spending the night with one whenever I could.

Eventually, I found myself alone on the road alone. I ran into a lost Dwarven cleric who said he was from a town called 'Ikea' I had no idea where that was, but we became friends fast. During our travels, we ran into another human, a Paladin of Pholtus. He had convinced himself there was a chaotic land in the desert he needed to convert, we helped convince him there wasn't such a thing here. We all traveled to a large city looking for work and joined up with two other groups of people to take the job. I asked my new friends to take me home after 2 years on the road.
