As the title says, I'm working on a cleric of Talos, god of storms and destruction for an online game. The character is human, 19 years old, second level, of chaotic neutral alignment, and with the following ability scorers: Str 14, Dex 10, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 16, Cha 12. The only backstory I have for him so far is this (I'm not a native english speaker, please have oversight with messed up grammar): Olderon grew up in a farming community of a dozen or so homes near the coast in the western heartlands, he was often getting in trouble and wasn't well liked by the others in the small village. When he was twelve years old, a terrible storm hit the community. During the storm and before it he had heard his parents and older sister chanting prayers to Chauntea, but as it didn't seem like the Earthmother was going to aid her people in this, Olderon began his first prayer to the Storm Lord, mumbling at first but soon shouting prayers to his parents horror. After the storm, his parents house was the only one that was left in the small community, all the others had been swept away by the waters or struck by lightning. Olderon thought his parents now would thank him for that he had saved their home and lives but instead they cursed him, telling him they no longer considered him their son. When this happened, Olderon ran away from his home, wondering how his parents could be so angry at him when he thought that he had saved their lives. Now alone and in need, Olderon began praying to Talos regularly, and one day, the stormlord answered his prayers, and from that day, Olderon has wandered the land spreading the word that holy destruction can only be avoided through prayer to Talos. What do you think I should ad to this backstory and do you have any suggestions for how I should roleplay him?
