This is for a dragonborn tempest cleric. Like the last one he is kind of a dark character and might be better as a villain but is a very fun character to play.
Balasar Daardendrian was born on the sea. He was destined to be a sailor. He was a bronze Dragonborn who was born to a nomadic sea faring tribe. Balasar like many of the members of his tribe left when he was eighteen to join larger ships. Also like many members of his tribe Balasar was welcomed as a member of any crew for his people were renowned for the ocean-iring ability, athleticism, and kindness. Balasar found the biggest shift he had to adapt to was the idea of the existence of gods. His tribe worshiped nature as an unknowable spiritual vastness, but among these new people Balasar learned of gods. Gods that put faces to the forces of nature. Gods like Paladine the god of rulers and guardians, Kiri-Jolith the god of honor and war, and Mishakal rhe goddess of healing. But there was one named that stood out among the rest. While Balasar learned of most these new gods from priests and clerics the god whose name he heard more than any came form the curses of the sailors. Zeboim. Zeboim was the goddess of the seas and storms. Her name was not sung in praises by the dutiful and pious, nor was her word preached by zealous clergymen. She was only ever spoken of as the bane of sailors. As equal to a devil. Balasar continued his new life and excepted his new gods. It wasn't in till many years later that Balasar would find that his fate was inseparably intertwined with the great bane of sailors.
Balasar was hired as part of a crew that was to escort a small anonymous group over sea. The group was clearly wealthy and payed up front so the crew accepted. What the crew did not anticipate was that this would be among one of the most perilous journeys they had ever endured. The party was assaulted by seemingly endless waves of pirates and marauders. Most attacks could be outrun but the few that managed to board the ship killed almost all the crew. Balasar and the other sailors were forced to fight for their lives. Most of the crew had little fighting experience fight other than drunken brawls. The battles were rage fueled chaotic hazes where strategy and weaponry were replaced by mindless blood lust and improvised weapons made of fish hooks and repair tools. Balasar as a dragonborn killed countless men with his brute strength and lightning breath. during his animalistic frenzied state he killed anyone unfortunate enough to cross his pass, unable to recognize friend form foe. By the time they had finally escaped the marauders most of the crew was dead and only one of the party they were meant to protect was left alive. The survivors were in the clear but they had to live in the wake of the darkness they had just faced; both physically and mentally exhausted. After all they had survived they were finally safe from the pirates. It was at this time the ship was hit by a storm. They survived the wrath of men only to be defeated by the chaotic forces of nature. But to his surprise Balasar didn't die that day. He found himself washed ashore on an unknown beach. He was broken and tried. Out of ingrained habit Balasar spoke a curse he had spoken many times before but this time things were different. As he uttered his hateful words they felt empty on his lips. Balasar did something he had not done since he had left his tribe. He closed his eyes, breathed deep the flavors of the ocean air, and on that cool beach he meditated. He thought of his old gods, his new gods, and of Zeboim the sailors devil. When he opened his eyes several hours later he stood and walked in the direction of the nearest settlement. He had seen the face of true evil wearing the masks of men. He knew then that the lawful natures of man and gods hides the evil just under the surface like a reef in murky water. Men fear chaos because it doesn't care about the face they put forward, it doesn't care what men pretend to be, chaos strikes men regardless of who they are or pretend to be. Chaos strikes all men, and Balasar shall be an agent of chaos.
