Jay brings Qurr to the table. Qurr is an Aarakocra Barbarian on a mission to prove herself to the goddess Syranita.

Jay and I discuss how introducing randomness into character building can help bring characters to life, creating detailed backstories that leave room for growth, how an aarakocra might adjust to a city built for non-flying characters, and how even a pun can inspire a character.

This character is built for D&D 5e.

Jay is a retired U.S. Navy Broadcast Journalist, a High School English Teacher, and the creator of Better Backstories.  She is also a D&D Dungeon Master, a cosplayer, and she identifies as a non-binary femizenter.
