5 Backstory Ideas for Your Paladin in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
The Paladin is like a mixture of Cleric and Fighter, they can serve on the frontline, with high Armor Class and Hit Points, or they can serve as an additional healer, using their spells and Lay on Hands abilities to help keep their allies alive. Paladins are also high damage dealers, able to use their Smite ability to lay out quite a bit of damage.

Now it’s time to come up with a few quick backstory ideas to help bring your character to life. Here are five intriguing ideas to use in your game, or to build off of to create a unique character you’ll love to play.

Cyberpunk 2077 redefines sci-fi literature
Philip K. Dicks changed science fiction with the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. In reality, the novel was ahead of its time, and when he died, Dicks was not a celebrated writer. In 1968 society couldn’t fathom the idea of mechanical humanoids, so closely resembling people that only an empathy test could separate man from machine. It wasn’t until 1982, when Ridley Scott turned Dick’s original story into the movie Bladerunner, that audiences began to conceptualize a future where technology turned our own perception on its head. Some argue that it was Philip K. Dicks that gave birth to the entire cyberpunk genre. Cyberpunk is an infamous subgenre of science fiction, and it tends to focus on a society that is high tech, but low quality of life. Societies often ruled by unscrupulous mega-corporations, where even advanced technology can’t make up for rampant poverty, food shortages and drug addiction. As a genre, cyberpunk got its start during the new wave science fiction movement of the late 60’s and 70’s and while Philip K. Dicks and Ridley Scott earned coveted spots as purveyors, they aren’t formally the creators.

The First Boss Complex
First impressions are the most important. Someone said this, at some point, and they were right, at least in most instances. This is why most media, including video games, try to start with the best foot forward. Murder mysteries showcase a resolved case or a murder in action. Horror movies tend to start with a scare or an eerie introduction. With video games this means a strong tutorial section or a cinematic masterpiece of a cutscene to get the story going.

RPG Elements
I've been playing video games since 1993 at the tender age of 2 years old. I started on the Super Nintendo, which was way ahead of its time looking back, and my favorite games were Super Mario, of course, and Final Fantasy III/VI. I know some of you are thinking "Final Fantasy, that's a little heavy for a two-year-old, isn't it" and looking back, it was, because I've played it again since then and t was a whole lot easier than I remember and there was a lot that I missed, but even as a toddler, I knew I loved RPG's, but it wasn't until later that I realized why.
