I don't have a backstory or lore, I have mental health issues and sleep debt.

Sleep debt is just day-off credit.

I submitted a FOIA request for my character's backstory in a campaign only to find out that the wizards had redacted the incidents I wanted to know about.

When your DM wants you to "expound on your PC's backstory a little"... Be afraid. It can be like pleading your case to the arresting officer, and it will be used against you in a court of RAW, judged by a panel of your peers.

Sounds like a LN Sorcerer to me.

Or, an unwitting warlock who thinks he is one.

There is that potential, depending on your build.

Makes me wanna DM again. An all warlock party where nobody knows that anyone else is a warlock would be the silliest sort of fun ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‡

Plot twist - the BBEG Is everyone's Patron, though they all use different subclasses and other DM "gifts" to mask as another class.

Better still: all the players think they've made bard PCs. ๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ

I used to always take amnesia as a character flaw in World of Darkness games.
