    So, I’m playing some DND with my friends, and I’ve just finished setting up my character. All that is left is the background/traits. So a brilliant idea came to me! Why don’t I pick my 2 favorite options, and ask the community about it!
    My character’s name is FredFredBurger by the way, so these two options should be pretty comical.
    Possible Hitler:
    I was a fantasy character reincarnated to our world on 1889 and I needed 1.3 million souls to transfer back. So what did I do? As a warlock, I committed genocide! After I was done I killed the person I had as my fake wife, faked my death, and came back to fantasy world as a level 1 noob. Oh no!

    Isekai’ed American Buisness Tycoon:
    I was just your average, super successesfull Buisness man. I married a couple of times, and I’ve got some weird sons and daughters (who may or may not be my type), but overal life has been pretty good. And now, I’m president! I’m just going on a walk aroun-OH, TRUCK-KUN! And now I’m a warlock in a fantasy world!

    By the way, my character will be someone who wants to take everything that isn’t nailed down, as a warlock of course. So no matter the backstory, I will be a looter. Just to make this point known.

    Go for Hitler. Grumpy warlock, who after all the hard work and losing a war came back to his world as a freakin' level 1 and even lost the Amber Room in the transfer.

    Make your background as reincarnated Warren Buffett. Your special warlocky power is investing in magic and either save or ruin other people by stealing their magic. You hate universities and your overriding goal is to burn all universities to the ground. You love kids.

    I see the possible Hitler is the most popular choice instead of the possible trump character, and that’s what I’ll go for! I’ll also probably use the Loli Hitler name instead of fredfredburger, as that’s honestly a great choice for alluding to the fact that I may or may not be hitler

    Isekai'd hitler is hilarious, but i don't think it's suitable for looter?
    I think he's more of WRATH/PRIDE rather than GREED (looters) so i voted isekai'd tycoon.
    Unless you create more explanation why you wanna go to art school first before coming back to your fantasy world, or the sudden interest with every item you see

    Fair enough. I’ll definitey put a bit more flair into the backstory then! Give this character a really solid reason for invading Paris as well as going to art school

    Now, what’s your opinions on the name
    Art Lifehold?
    Or what about Adenoid Hynkel?
    Or how about Tanya Degurechaff (loli hitler)?

    Hitler is overrated, become a literal mafia boss instead
