I am new to D&D (5e) and would like to build a Gish character (arcane warrior, mage fighter, battle wizard). There are no house rules. Assume there is already a tank in the party.

Requirements for the character:

• dual-wielding
• light armor
• high Int and Dex
• arcane spellcasting
• I want to maximize this kind of character for damage per round.
• I want to be using my swords at least 65-100% of the time.

What class should I use to remain a valued member of my party? Any build that accomplishes this is a correct answer.

You may also list recommended items, race, stats, skills, feats, pacts, weapons, and spells.

I am looking for help with my character. I am trying to avoid divine abilities. The multi-class I am considering right now is an Arcane Trickster - Bladesinger. Other classes of interest include Eldritch Knight fighter, Warlock (with Pact of the Blade), and Sorcadin (Sorcerer/Paladin multiclass). Some of my favorite skills are Acrobatics and Arcana. As for spells, I assume I will need some sort of shield spells (wall of force?), spells that are synergistic with my swords (booming blade cantrip?), and spells that make my character valuable to others (suggestion?).

Backstory: My character was an orphan on the streets. At the time, he possessed no gift with magic. He was abducted and experimented on by a group of mages. Their goal was to make an artificial sorcerer. Due to their experimentation, he grew an affinity for magic.

Present: He is searching for revenge and has a hard time getting close to people. He is a perfectionist and finds beauty in combat. He always wears a mask to hide his face. He would prefer not to hurt anyone, but if you get in his way, he will kill you.
