My first Dungeons & Dragons character backstory!

This story takes place in a small town by the name of the  [enter homebrew town name here]. Our story starts inside a tavern,the only tavern in [homebrew town name]. It was a peaceful afternoon, tavern patrons chatting away as the tavern owner makes and serves his goods. Then suddenly BOOM  a loud explosion fills the ears of the taverns guests. 

The tavern owner sighs unamused and unfazed, by the loud roar that seemingly 

came out of nowhere.Then a new figure walks into the tavern,not by the front door but a door near the tavern bar.The tavern guests confused and concerned look over to the source of the noise,not expecting what or who made that noise.

In comes Eris quickly closing the door they came out of almost in a panic.

“(painting) woo.. oh dear that’s no good” the tavern patrons look confused 

Eris has the body of a normal aasimon, but the thing that confused some of the guests was that Eris didn’t have a normal  head. No..Eris had the head of a rusty cog gear and in the senter, there was one single eye.

The tavern owner sighed almost like this has happened before. “ Eris what kind of chaos did you cause today?” he asked “ No need to worry father everything is fine! I definitely did not accidentally blow something up…heh..” Eris said sweating, this is a normal scenario that happens every other week yet it still sometimes scares the tavern guests.

Then the unthinkable happens not even a hour later….

Eris is back in their workshop when they hear the screams of their father,

Running back into the tavern looking around frantically trying to see the source of why their father was screaming.Finally finding the source of their fathers scream made their heart drop….

The tavern that was once full of joy and laughter now silent. The tavern was ransacked, the once smiling patrons were ether dead or badly hurt. “Dad! Dad! are you okay!? Please answer me!” Eris said hoping that somehow their father was alive. “I’m here…barely” said their father in a weak voice. “Dad!” Eris said running to their father’s aid “oh god what happened!?” Eris said “we were robed

but not of our money”

“What do you possibly mean by that?” Eris asked still worried about their father’s health “someone stole the watch Eris…” “the pocket watch? The one that has been in our family for years?!” Eris cried confused “ who stole it!? I will find them and make them pay!” Eris said to their father 

“[insert villain’s name here] they got their men to steal it” the tavern owner said coughing violently into his fist. “I will make them pay for what they’ve done” Eris said angry “but first I need to find a way to heal you” Eris said “No..there’s no need for you to heal me” the tavern owner said “My time is up…please take back the watch, and complete your destiny like the ones before you”

Then the tavern owner takes his last breath….”Dad I’m so sorry that I wasn’t here to help you.” Eris stood up looking at the now lifeless body of their father 

“I will avenge you father even if it’s the last thing I do” But sadly the search for the pocket watch will have to be another day.

For now Eris has to take care of the tavern and repair the damage that happened because of the incident.Even if Eris could search for the watch they couldn’t because they didn’t know who this [insert villain’s name here] was or how strong they truly were.

4 years after the incident a group of adventurers walk into the tavern………

(This Is when the campaign starts)
