Twinkle Underden's lot in life was one of hardship, even from the moment of his birth. Born into slavery in a Fomorian cavern-city, Twinkle's parents were both used as 'honey pots' - they were ordered to enter gnome settlements, crying out for help against the rogue fomorian that destroyed their home. When the settlement would send out some soldiers to slay the 'lone fomorian,' the awaiting group of them would enslave the lot of them, slaying any that resisted.

Was Twinkle was big enough, he was forced into slavish acts as well - carrying tools and rubble for miners. Unlike his parents, though, the fires of independence burned brightly within him, as did a smoldering hatred towards his masters.

The breaking point came when he was around 18. The fomorians forced his parents to revisit a settlement that still remembered the couple, and rather than send reinforcements, the soldiers killed the couple for collaborating with the evil fey. When Twinkle heard the news, something snapped within him, creating a wild maelstrom of furious arcane energy around him as he howled his rage. When the maelstrom died down, Twinkle was gone.

When he awoke, he was alone in the Feywild. Somehow, he had created an arcane burst that had teleported him several hundred miles away from the fomorian city. Rather than seek out a nearby gnome settlement, though, to rejoice in his freedom, Twinkle chose to dwell in solitude for several years, learning how to hone the newly awakened eldritch energies within him.

Over time, though, his desire to take revenge on the fomorians overcame him, and he set out to find more power and allies in the outside world, taking the last name of Nevertwice to reflect his feelings on his previous captivity.

These days, Twinkle rarely shows any of the jollity and mirth common to many of his race, and he is just fine with not being associated with other gnomes any more than he has to be. While his anger at his kin isn't as strong as his hatred of fomorians, he still bears a grudge toward all other gnomes for his parents death - even though it was the fomorians that forced his parents into the situation, it was still the other gnomes that killed them.

Serious and logical to a fault, Twinkle understands that he alone cannot hope to kill all the fomorians in the world. For this reason, he has joined a group of adventurers, hoping to eventually guide them to his childhood prison, where they will be able to take revenge on all the monsters there - fomorian and otherwise.

I like this background

There is a connection to the feywild not far from Moonhaven, the only other towns closer are a shifter community (recovering from an untimely freeze) and an elven community (recovering from an untimely freeze and a dragon's ravages). If he asked for adventurers at the Elven community they would have pointed him towards the dragon slayers from Moonhaven.

That makes sense....and I just realized I missed my lvl 2 feat. XD

Might as well take White Lotus Feats.
