Adding Additional Character Depth

by Rupta

I have a fear of snakes. This fear comes from me almost being eaten by a snake as a child. The way I handle my fear is by attacking them on sight with my own teeth and eating them if they are not undead. I often cry while doing all of this and scream about I will never be a victim of a snake again.
 
I have a small fear of getting emotionally close to other. As a Lizardfolk I never understood normal humanoid emotions and their need to express them to other. I get very uncomfortable when people try to open up to me like that and causes me to get anxious. I might nervous eat something or walk around. If I become to anxious I will go and touch the person to try to get them to stop.
 
I have a fear of crowds. I avoid large number of people with a passion. I will come up with any reason to not be around a large number of people. This fear comes from my dark gift because it is hard for me to avoid touching people and them being affected by my dark gift. I will often refuse to go into large crowds unless I have been drinking or bribed with a lot of alcohol.
 
I have a dark side to me. Deep down I dislike most humanoids. I find them petty and overly emotional. I often let this dark side of me come out by the use of the dark gift I have been cursed with. My curse causes anyone I touch to have spiders appear on them and bite them. I will touch those I do not like just so they feel the dark gift. I know I have pledged my life to the morninglord and to the way of the life cleric to heal those that have been hurt. This is to atone for my many hateful actions in my past and that I know I will still do in the future towards those I do not like. But it is hard for me to not do this to others. As a lizardfolk I just do not understand all these emotions. And it is only natural to fear what you do not understand. This fear and over time turned into hate and evil. I now enjoy causing pain to others. But I know this is wrong so I have decided I will try to bring bodily healing to people I feel deserve it.
