Well... To be honest, I really would like to play *this* specific Paladin, mostly because I've tried to start him in a campaign three separate times now, not including this one, but each time the group has dissolved after 1-2 sessions for time reasons. But, I also would really like to play, so here is a changling seeker.
I have a better idea of the background.... mostly because I was going to put more here, but for some reason a random button on my keyboard closed this tab last time when I was almost done >.<
Dyne is an urban tracker and free spirit. He was orphaned at an early age when a pair of ignorant but well-meaning adventurers murdered his parents, mistaking them for doppelgangers. He does not know what he is, and considers his ability to change his form fairly unique. He has used this ability to survive on the streets on his own, first by begging for food as different children and then by trying to gather information or find those who did not want to be found using a combination of his extraordinary perception, insight, and roof-running abilities.
Dyne has lived in several large cities, moving whenever he felt his "true" identity was at risk of being revealed. He has an enormous amount of respect for nature, as during his travels with various caravans no amount of trickery could substitute for skill at tracking, hunting, and noticing that which is out of the ordinary. However, the draw of the city has always pulled him back... Companionship, wine, and the secret life of the throng are all guilty pleasures he knows he could live without, but cannot resist.
Dyne is a male, but spends anywhere from 30-40% of his time as a female, and indeed takes great comfort in his ability to switch gender roles. He feels as though this has helped him to truly understand people, and will often take on a form that is stereotypically descriptive of how he wishes to be treated at the time. If he desires companionship, he may take the form of a beautiful woman, whereas if he wishes to drink and boast he may appear as an older hunter or mercenary, scarred by years of experience. Dyne is effectively bisexual, but tends to enjoy the company of women more as they (usually) must be actively pursued, and he is a hunter at heart.
