Our group has two clerics, the first is played by a no nonsense guy for whom D&D is serious business who worships the god of the Sun and Justice, and myself, who is significantly less serious about the game as evidenced by the fact that my character worships the Goddess of Lap Dogs, known as the Pampered Bitch. We are RPing a camp scene and it turns to a discussion of our characters.
Cleric: Okay, but tell me, how is it you came to worship a deity known as “The Pampered Bitch?” Why would that even make sense to you.
Me: Oh, well you see..[I give my full backstory, the reaction is best summed up as.]
Cleric: So you used to be a dog, and then, through a botched reincarnation spell became a human.
Me: Yes.
DM: AND IT’S THE MOST WELL THOUGHT OUT AND COHERENT BACKSTORY OF THE ENTIRE FREAKING GROUP!
