Base stats are as follows: Str 18, Dex 11, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 17. Human adds +1 to Str and Cha, so with Strong Str goes up to 21 and Cha to 18. Zodiac sign: rooster.

Background: Grown in a tiny village, a big fish in a small pond, he joined the army to Make A Difference believing he'd quickly gain glory and fortune. The reality of war taught him some harsh lessons, but he never turned his back to his comrades, striving to improve their morale and volunteering for many risky tasks. With time, however, the powerlessness of feeling a single small soldier in a Universe-wide war eroded his discipline, driving him to skim insubordination to save more lives.
One day, he saw a group of escaped slaves being chased down by Hell Knights. The whole troop saw them, but the commander refused to help. The "primary goal" - whatever that was - would be compromised by making their presence known. As if he had waited all his life to do that, he ripped all insignia of the army from his equipment, grabbed his backpack and ran after the fugitives.
His intervention distracted the Knights enough for the slaves to regroup and win a desperate fight, but he almost paid that victory with his life. After days of fruitless efforts from the makeshift healers of the group, his deadly wounds spontaneously closed, and he woke up to the incredulous stare of the freed slaves.

Personality: He behaves like an unshakeable - and from time to time almost laughably naive - hero tirelessly working for the Greater Good; he is a good person who genuinely wants to help, but from time to time the facade slips for a moment, showing the doubt and guilt beneath. He'll never admit that he never had a full night's sleep since his near-death experience, or that he can hear the people he couldn't protect howl for vengeance whenever he allows his mind to wander. He doesn't know who or what saved his life and granted him his powers, and he's not sure he wants to know.

He wanted to be a hero. Now he's struggling to keep himself together.

Blindi Gestum AKA "Mother Grim" (as she likes to call herself)

Diegetically: Blindi is a cryptic, hunchbacked woman whose age is difficult to determine due to her heavy scars. She may be much younger than she appears, as her hair yet remains jet-black, though her face and arms are calloused and disfigured from many old wounds long since healed. One eye is missing, though on occasion she will pop in a glass eye that she tends to keep on her person rather than in her socket. She tends to wear masks and long shawls, covering the unsightly wounds, but has no qualms removing them and unnerving those around her. She often talks of bygone places and events as if she were there, and will occasionally complain about "lost power."

Mechanically, I'd like to by a variant Human with final level totals as Druid 6 (Circle of the Shepherd)/Warlock 14 (Raven Queen, Pact of the Chain). This allows me the following features:

• 1 "Sentinel Raven" which grants me special features including seeing through its eyes
• 1 Raven familiar to sit on the other shoulder
• Some death- and cold- themed spells
• The ability to Wild Shape into non-flying beasts such as a wolf
• The ability to summon 2 Dire Wolves, a pack of 8 wolves, or a Giant Elk which I would definitely like to reflavor as an 8-legged giant horse
• Only up to Lv5 Warlock spells and only up to Lv3 Druid spells

I think it's best that I start as a Druid, and probably go to Lv 2 or 3 before multiclassing into Warlock for a few levels. Stopping before getting access to flying Wild Shapes fits right in with the Fear of Flying trait, and I further like the idea of my fledgling godhood partially-powering my physical body (hence not needing as much to eat).

Meta-textually, in case it wasn't blatantly obvious, I've made a female Odin, or Wednesday if you're more familiar with American Gods. Assuming you greenlight everything, being some nearly-forgotten god of nature, like of the Wild Hunt and the Cycle of Life & Death would thematically fit right with a lot of the mechanical choices I'd like to make.
