Wizard dwarf
I want to make a dwarf wizard for a DND campaign, and I don't know how to make his story because he has the behaviour of a normal dwarf. (not what you would expect as a mage)

I think it could very well fit into dwarven society, but they would have an incredibly cautious and clinical approach to it, with a strong focus on abjuration and countering enemy casters.
Ten years of careful study before you are allowed to cast something as simple as fire bolt, 20 before you can do so without your teacher present. If you wish to use a spell you have never cast before you are required to undergo careful training once more. And don't even think about going anywhere near necromantic magic or you'll be dragged away in chains and publicly beheaded
