Need a character background written up?

[Great Dragon]

I am used do Star Wars Saga 3.5E, this is my first 5E D&D game.

Saga is interesting, but I prefer Revised Core. Lots more control over where I can spend my Skill points.

I do steal stuff from Saga to go into Core, for my games.
Like Saga has better Droid creation options.

See my Hello? thread in Friendly Banter to see some of my comments on various topics, and by all means post!

I am having a doozy of a time trying to formulate my backstory.

Varis Talltree, a male wood elf -

<Snip>

I know, cleshay right.
my GM dropped me a magical bow and its description read:
<Snip>
So all you know is its magical and its name is Gom Jabbar

While I'm not very good with writing Backstories like Tawmis, I'm at least ok with mechanical type stuff - like Backgrounds and Class combos. I like going Out There, for interesting results, but not for every Character.

Spoiler: 5e D&D stuff

This character looks like a strong case for the Outlander (Hunter) Background.
Background Skills: Athletics and Survival; Elf gives Perception for free.

The story suggests that Druids are out, but maybe Rangers are still accepted?
Hunter being the most logical choice, but maybe the anti-mage Monster Slayer would also work.
Skills: Insight, Stealth, and Nature.

But, since no Class was listed, I'll now leave that alone.

The magical bow reminds me of what Hank the Ranger had in the D&D Animated Cartoon.
