Mute bard who communicates and casts spells through interpretive dance. The higher their charisma stat, the easier it is for others to somehow understand exactly what they're trying to say, to the point where they can do a short dance and the other person is like "Impressive, you have quite a strong grasp on the microethics of necromancy. I agree with your position completely- necromancers should take care in their tone of voice while casting, lest the creature they're reanimating comes back wrong due to their subconscious attitude towards them."

A squid wizard (Squizard) that shoots out ink to form images that foretell the future. The Squizard has honed their ink shooting so they don’t have to be scared to summon these images, but when frightened, the Squizard usually ends up summoning the image of the last time you will ever have a sandwich that makes you happy.
It is so depressing usually, but also that’s how I found out I would die choking on a sandwich.

Robot-girl who was "rescued" (stolen) from the military and is trying to adjust to a normal lifestyle, but still uses military speak sometimes (e.g referring to building exits as "extraction points", referring to time using "XY00 hours" thing, calling every vehicle a "transport") and also her original creators are tracking her down so they can factory-reset her. And also the person who rescued her is also her girlfriend now and their adventures take them to lots of really beautiful locations where they can do standard romantic-montage stuff.

You pilot a Lich. You swear you used to pilot something else but everyone else tells you you've always piloted a Lich.
One time you checked your license timeline. Surely your old frame should still be recorded there, along with the date you gained your Lich license. You've had a Lich license for longer than the city of Rome existed.
Your NHP also remembers. She's pretty sure she used to be good at targeting missiles, not disrupting the flow of time. But you're pretty sure your old mech didn't even have an NHP. Did your Lich always have one? You're not sure. She says she's known you since childhood. You're pretty sure you weren't a pilot until you were an adult but who even knows at this point.
Do you even remember a time before piloting? Are you even sure you weren't always piloting?

Schadenfruede
Here is an emotion called Schadenfreude, an emotion that's described as feeling enjoyment after seeing someone's misfortune! Schadenfreude might sound mischivious and cruel, but he's just a giant goofball who has no sense of social ethics LOL!

new trope idea: Innocent/naive character who is notoriously trusting of people who's trust gets broken and is hurt so many times that they're no longer very trusting but they pretend to be so they don't put their friends through the pain of seeing them change

SO, I made my own tragic legendary sea cookie since that seems to be the theme for devsis in between comms-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beneath the dark, forgotten waves of the west sea, amongst a once bustling and colorful coral forest is it's sleepy monarch; Grand Reef Cookie. A jolly, yet strangely complaisant individual who spends his frail, doddering years tending to the decaying remains of his children's once proud homeland.
They have all left, of course. Some more hesitant than others to leave their loving father's side. But, Grand Reef Cookie was insistent of their retreat. That, unlike him, they were not bound to their namesake in soul and body. That the ocean held much more plentiful and vibrant sights that were not to be wasted fretting over a forgotten relic of the past. That doesn't stop many from visiting though... Bringing with them trinkets and offerings to help alleviate his wistful loneliness.
But, unlike some of his children, Grand Reef doesn't harbor any resentment for cookies. It's just not in his nature to harbor any hatred for... Well, anything, really. A reef is meant to be a nurturing and peaceful place for even the most ruthless apex predator, to be unwelcoming and unkind to even one creature would go against his very nature. ________
Why be a betrayed and/or volatile tragic, when you can be a sweet, hospice patient kind of tragic? That, and sea pollution and global warming tragic, I mean it's right there-

Superheroine Idea: A heroine whose powers are seasonal
Plant powers in spring
Fire powers in summer
Wind powers in fall
Ice powers in winter
But! Her moral alignment also changes. She's a classic hero in spring, an anti-hero in summer, a morally ambigious character in fall, and a straight-up villain in winter.
She often has to start every spring undoing the damage she'd done in the previous winter.
Her given name would be Demeter, and her alter-ego would change with the seasons, too.
Spring Cleaner
Summer Soldier
Fall Fouler
Winter Breaker

Alternatives for "they rolled their eyes".
aka facial expressions/body movements to show annoyance/exasperation.
*warning bad writing; these are just ideas.*
*ideas are not separate and can be combined.*
• Their smile became strained.
• A hand came up to rub their face.
• Their expression fell.
• Their nose scrunched.
• Their forehead creased.
• They frowned.
• They lightly/heavily sighed.
• They deflated.
• Their lips pursed.
• They glanced away/sideways.
• They gave a deadpan look.
• Their tongue poked their cheek.
• They became tense.
• Their shoulders slumped.
• Their foot toed the ground.
• Their knee started bouncing (while sitting).
• Their hands curled into fists.
• They scratched their cheek.
• They took a calming breathe in.
• They looked up for strength.
• They turned/looked away.
• Their eyebrows rose.
• Their eyes squinted.
• Their head shook side to side.
Honorable mention.
• They pretended not to hear.
A/N: Just been seeing a lot of this phrase in books and ff which to me sounds sassy or even rude, which if you're going for that great! Otherwise it sounds a bit out of place. Lmk if you agree or hate me for this lmao. Or have better ideas too.

Bad DnD character idea:
A green-furred bugbear thief rogue who really, really hates his neighbors because every winter they make a shit ton of noise. So he devises a plan to steal all of their stuff by dressing up as a mythical gift bringing man, but instead he takes. Also has a dog, and he lives on a mountain.

A wizard that uses fresh mozzarella for his pondering orb. He wakes up every morning to make a new batch of mozzarella and when he splits it open to eat it, he divines the future from the shapes he sees within the cheese.
The pizzas he makes with these cheeses can give visions of the future, but mostly it just helps people guess the flavor of ice cream planned for dessert.

Hello! If it’s not too much trouble, would you be willing to discuss how to describe a character with nonhuman features? Such as wings, specifically? Thank you!
Prompts for Describing a Character with Wings
-> @she-who-fights-and-writes made an in-depth post about writing a character with wings with many helpful tips to remember while writing. They also include a list of vocabulary to describe the movement of wings based on the character's emotions. Their post can be found Here.
-> @kedreeva made a post regarding the science behind a character having wings, including anatomy of the wings themselves and the feathers. They also dive into info about preening, molting, nesting, etc. That post can be found Here.
-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.
He was a handsome guy with sharp features, but she couldn't keep her eyes off of his wings. They sprouted from his back like two extra limbs that he could control at will, with long, silky black feathers like a raven.
The feathers of her wings flared when she was angry, making her appear bigger than she was.
They had wings like a hummingbird that fluttered just as fast as his heart when he saw them.
He hated his wings sometimes. They were big and bulky and never useful to him when he was on the ground. He groaned as he bent to pick up the things his wings had managed to knock off the shelf, only to have them swipe a few more items from the counter and onto the floor.
Her wings were neatly folded behind her back, tucked close. At a sudden noise behind her, she jolted, her wings shooting out to display her full wingspan. Her heart pounded in her chest, her feathers twitching as she searched for the source of the noise.
The wings on their back gently shifted, hovering over her head to shield her from the rain.
His wings stretched out to their full wingspan as a last minute attempt to keep himself from falling.
She felt free when she was in the air, her wings finally able to stretch out to their full potential. She felt so trapped on the ground sometimes, forced to keep them folded so they don't get in the way.
God, he thought they were beautiful. They were an angel, had to be. An angel blessed with the prettiest wings he had ever seen on a person, sprouting gently from their back like a waterfall of feathers.

Funny DND Character idea
A bard who accidentally multiclassed into Paladin, because they sang "Never gonna give you up." in a temple as a prank, and the God mistook it for their oath of devotion.
