Allowing me more opportunity to be hungry for character lore? Excellent! Vorna: ☀️ 💐 🌼 👀 ❓; Luca: 🌙 💎 👀 ; Althea 🦋📚 👀

Allowing me more opportunity to talk about my dumbass children??? DOUBLE excellent! No seriously, ty, ilysm.

Vorna:

☀️ What makes your OC genuinely happy? A person, an item, their hobby? Where is the place they’re happiest, or most at home? What is the happiest they’ve ever been?

Her family makes her genuinely happy. All she wants is to see Moroven again. As far as hobbies/activities go, she's really into cooking. She knows how to handle rations and she's not opposed to simple foods, but if you give her the opportunity to make a real meal, she's almost too eager.

As of right now, she's the most at home whenever the group stops to make camp. When she was a soldier, they had to do that a lot. And the people she's with right now, while most of them clearly aren't soldiers, they remind her of people she used to know.

The happiest she's ever been, I can't quite share yet. But it was before she left her clan. She had everything she thought she could ever want.

💐 Does your OC like flowers? What are their favourites? Do they keep a garden of some sort? What flowers would they use in a flower crown? (and if you like, research the meanings behind those flowers!)

Ooh, good question. I don't think I've thought of that before. I think that while Vorna is definitely a pretty hardened individual, and she's come to appreciate some of the little things. She's no flower aficionado, but I think she would be really touched by the gesture of someone giving her flowers.

She doesn't keep a garden, but her favorite flower would be a snowdrop. If I were to make a flower crown for her, it would consist of snowdrops, pansies, anemones, gladiolus, and white heather. We love flower symbolism, folks.

🌼 Write a short drabble from your OCs POV meeting their LI (or if they don’t have a love interest, their best friend. If you don’t want to do a drabble, describe their first meeting instead!)

Okay, so I started writing for this, but I quickly realized that it was getting WAY too long. But I loved what was going on, and I didn't want to cut it, so I'm gonna keep it and finish it at a later date. But for this ask, I'm gonna try and explain how Dekran and Vorna came to know each other.

Dekran and Vorna actually knew each other as children. They played together with the other children in the village. They even both went to begin training to become soldiers in the same class, but Dekran dropped out after a month. He was really mouthy and sarcastic, and it got him in trouble with authority a lot. It drove Vorna insane, as someone who took her future as a soldier very seriously. So she wasn't too heartbroken to see him leave.

It wasn't until Vorna finished her training and became a member of her troop, the War Pigs, that Dekran popped back up again. He'd become a hunter/trapper and a bard (not like a battle bard, but a bard, he sings really badly). He'd begun trying to get Vorna's attention so he could start courting her, but she just.... REFUSED to give him the time of day because she thought he was a disobedient, immature little twit. But then also he was really funny and sweet to HER. But Vorna is Vorna and so she crushed those feelings under her iron boot. And Dekran didn't push her.

One day, Vorna was training with her friend Bushki, and Bushki was teasing her about Dekran so they could throw Vorna off balance. And it worked. But Dekran was there watching, and Bushki quickly pushed a sword into his hands and was like "oh hey you, you have a go" and he was just like "uH".

And Vorna was like "FINE just to prove that he's a weak lil bitch and I do NOT have ANY positive feelings towards him, I Will Fight Him." And Dekran, bless him, is no soldier. And Vorna laid him out on his ass.

But you see Dekran, having one brain cell when literally under the boot of a punk lady with a greataxe, just smiles dumbly and calls her amazing. That just makes Vorna *windows dial-up sound*.

He kept showing up for sparring practice after that, and Vorna didn't stop him. And the rest is history. Though, fun fact, it was much later during one of these sparring sessions alone, when Vorna pinned him by the chest under her foot, that he once again only had one brain cell and asked her to marry him.

👀 Describe your OC through the eyes of another person! (bonus + specify who)

Oh BOY. I don't even begin to know where to start with this one, aside from just copy-pasting her character description, and that seems very uncreative of me. YOU tell ME how your character sees her, how about THAT? Gotem.

❓ A random fact or short drabble! Or make up your own question to ask the OC!

Random fact? She loves snow. She would die in snow, if she could. I mean, she wants to die in battle, but preferably a snowy battle. She's also EXCELLENT at making snowmen.

Luca:

🌙 If your OC could have one wish come true what would it be and why? Would there be consequences to this wish or would they regret it once they get what they want? What would they give in return for this wish to come true?

Luca would give almost anything to know who his parents were. I have NO IDEA what my DM has planned, so the consequences of this wish are currently unknowable to me. But he does wish he knew who his parents were, and had gotten to stay with them instead of being raised by an Orc warband. The only good thing that came from the Orcs was that he met Mafareth.

💎 Does your OC collect anything? Is there a reason? When did they start and is it beginning to turn into a little bit of a hoarding issue? What do they do with their collection?

Does "things i've eaten that i probably shouldn't have" count as a collection? Because so far, he's eaten iron bars, giant spider webs, and an unknown number of mysterious mushrooms (one of which made his teeth into a lantern light). He's been eating random shit for most of his life, and he's only planning on eating more random shit in the future.

👀 Describe your OC through the eyes of another person! (bonus + specify who)

I CAN actually give you "Luca the Feral through the eyes of Gnerkle" considering Luca is 6'3" and Gnerkle is like 3" or something, ahsjdkd.

Luca is just a towering hunk of tatted-up, red-skinned muscle with a handlebar mustache and two big ol' bull horns on his head. And he swings a really, really big sword, and stands over Gnerkle like a safety barn whenever demons are about. Which is a lot.

Althea:

🦋 If your OC could change everything (or just something) about their life would they? What would they change? What do they think would happen if they did? What would their loved ones think?

Before going on her adventure, she would've changed everything. She wanted a sign from Oghma so, so badly.

But now, with the campaign over, I think she's happy. She's felt what it was like to have a purpose, to have people need her, to love two people more than herself. And now that she's saved the world, they can do anything they want.

The only thing she wants now, I think, is maybe to start her own library in Oghma's name. She'd be really competitive about it and make it big and full of MORE BOOKS than ANY OTHER temple to Oghma. Aolis would think she's pretentious and probably threaten to burn it down whenever Althea got on his nerves (though I don't think he ever would). Terri wouldn't understand who COULD or WOULD read that much, but if Althea needs her to swing her axe at some monsters in order to get an ancient tome, hell yeah she will.

📚 If your OC was given some kind of forbiddon knowledge, what would they do with it? Would they tell anyone? Use it for evil or good? How would it change their outlook on life, if at all?

Oh, boy, that's all Althea is AFTER is forbidden knowledge. She would curate it for her future library. Probably put it in the restricted section. She wouldn't use it for evil or let it be used for evil in any way, though. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is Althea's creed, but not at the expense of others.

👀 Describe your OC through the eyes of another person! (bonus + specify who)

She just LOOKS like a nerd, especially to Aolis. Terri sees Althea as tall, bony moon elf with almost no meat on her bones, but to quote Terri's player Rae when Althea cast a level 3 Guiding Bolt with a nat 20 and killed a giant worm, "I just remembered that Althea could seriously fuck someone up if she wanted to".

Note

Vorna - Barbarian, Paladin, Sorcerer, Warlock (if not now then in past is also good); Luca - Ranger, Druid, Wizard; Althea - Monk, Cleric, Bard

Vorna

Barbarian: What causes your character to become enraged more so than anything else?

Being lied to or manipulated. That's a big, big sore spot for Vorna, and if she catches anyone in the party lying to her... Well, right now, it would probably make her just not trust them for the remainder of their time together. She'd be real hostile. At the worst, she'd want to leave the party herself, or make the offending party leave. But I think once she comes to care about them more (and at the rate things are going, that's deffo gonna happen), I think it would really wound her. Vorna's trust is not easily won, and it's nearly impossible to get back once its lost. At least it is with the way she is right now, anyway.

I'm excited to see if that changes.

Paladin: Does your character have an oath, a mantra, or a code by which they live their life? Do they ever defy this code, and if so, what are the consequences?

As a paladin herself, she kind of has to. She strongly believes in the idea that the strongest should rule, and that's one reason as to why she was so drawn to Sorath. But her idea of a "strong leader" is very situational, depending on both the abilities and the character of the person. Most of all, she believes that the strong have an obligation to protect and raise up the weak.

However, this ideology is one she only very recently adopted. She used to think very differently, so... she's still trying to figure out what that means. And it's kind of why she's been hesitant to assign anyone in the group the "leader" role, including herself.

Sorcerer: What comes naturally to your character that would require other people to train or to study in order to accomplish?

From day one, I knew I wanted Vorna to be naturally very good at battle strategy. However, Joey is not good at battle strategy, which makes roleplaying this very hard. But trust me, it's in her somewhere.

Warlock: What alliances does your character rely on for survival? What do these relationships offer them - protection, power, wealth, love, etc.?

You specified about her past alliances, and I didn't talk about that before, so I'll do that now. Vorna used to belong to a clan, and so naturally she relied on them heavily for survival. She loved them dearly. She did whatever she had to do to keep them safe, and she was happy to do it.

They offered her protection and love and a sense of community. They gave her her family. They were her whole life. And leaving them so suddenly was one of the most painful things she's ever gone through.

Luca

Ranger: What one thing does your character hunt for - money, a family heirloom, a source of power, a lost love, a missing relative, etc.?

Luca's huntin' for demons! Meemaw told him to fuck up some demons, and that's what he's gonna do. Even if, uh....... one of them happens to be a demogorgon. Ha,,, ha,,,,,,,,,,

He's also on the hunt to make JS like him after the last session. He almost got real emotional when JS put himself between the hag merchant and Luca, and it's the only reason he walked away from the Swiss Army Polearm. Which Joey STILL DESPERATELY WANTS. Ugh, the things I do for roleplay.

Druid: Does your character have a positive or negative opinion of nature (animals included)? Do they prefer the outdoors or the indoors?

Luca spent a lot of his time on the road, but I wouldn't say it's nature that he has an affinity for. He definitely loves small animals, though.

Being such a big, clumsy guy, the indoors and Luca don't mix very well. The indoors are just very restrictive to him, and there's nothing that makes him more anxious than feeling restricted. So Luca's an outdoors boy, for sure.

Wizard: What does your character consider more important - natural talent or work ethic? Regardless of their convictions, do they rely on their training or their talent more often than not?

Well, I wouldn't say Luca cares much about either. He doesn't have a lot of natural talent outside being Big Strong Boy, but that talent got him put through some shit in the past. But he also did a lot of hard labor as a kid, and so his sense of "work ethic" is kinda messy because he didn't work out of a sense of ethic. He was kinda forced to work.

But he definitely relies on natural talent more often than not. He's had no formal training in pretty much anything, so he relies on his muscles and his magic grandma to get the job done.

Althea

Monk: What natural physical abilities does your character possess? Can they perform acrobatic stunts, can they effectively punch an opponent, or can they do nothing but cower in fear when danger comes?

Well, Althea had a dex mod of 0, and she once tripped so hard that she knocked herself to 0 hit points. And she wasn't all that strong, either. She had a mace, which she swung when she was really frustrated, but she wasn't all that effective with it.

Most of Althea's power is brain power, but that combined with her spells got her very far. She started out the campaign thinking that all of her reading would be all she needed in battle, but once she was actually faced with real-life enemies and had to defend herself and her party, she floundered big time. She panicked.

But by the end of the campaign, while she still was a panicky mess, she found her strength in herself and her allies. She doesn't have a lot of physical prowess, but she's far past cowering now.

Cleric: What does your character place their faith in - a deity, universal energy, themselves, the government, etc.?

Oh, Althea is very much the opposite of Vorna. Althea put almost all of her faith in her deity, Oghma, in the beginning. She still puts a lot of her faith in Oghma, being a devout cleric, but she also is a lot more self-assured now.

She also puts her faith in Aolis and Terri to do the things she can't, and she's always put her faith in knowledge. The more you know about your situation, the higher your odds of overcoming it.

Bard: Can your character recall a time that music has had a special power over them? What was this song, where did they hear it, and did it affect them positively, negatively, or neutrally?

I don't think music has ever been particularly important to Althea. If it's a song that tells a story, she can appreciate it immensely, but she prefers reading. I think that songs sung to her as lullabies when she was a child still touch a special place in her heart, though.
