Editing Nemios (5e 2024) (section)

==Character Backstory==
Bastard son of a nobleman, Nemios should have been half-elven except there were complications.

Horns and tail shaped complications.

To his father's credit Nemios was raised in the household. But he was never clever enough, or accomplished enough, or witty enough, or beautiful enough, compared to his half-siblings. As a result he spent much of his time below stairs, hiding with the guardsmen.

At first they assumed he was a servant's child. They let him sit in the barracks as long as he made himself useful, and taught him to defend himself in a fight. He learned to love their stories and ready camaraderie. When Nemios's father found out he wasn't happy, but the guardsmen didn't much care whose son he was.

Nemios's affinity for the lower orders was another embarrassment to his father and eventually he was banished to take holy orders. He was "encouraged" to join the clergy of Lathander but on the way he confessed he was more drawn to Helm, keeper of the guards he'd spent so much time with. Not one to question faith the priest deposited him at the temple of Helm instead. There Nemios learned to honour the skills of those who first accepted him as he was, both in fighting beside them and in tending their wounds.
