#anyway the drow are australian

Three AUdiirns I’ve had pinballing around in my brain

Guardian - stuck in time loop hell to save those he once adventured beside. I wrote about it almost a year ago, here.

Ascended - Astarion ascended, Aldiirn built his empire then took it all for himself.

Modern - union courier committing insurance fraud to help Astarion who can’t afford treatment with his high profile but exploitative modelling gig. Goes smooth until a photo of them together goes all over social media, then they gotta fake date to keep up the ruse. Inspired by @satanicspinosaurus!

Anyway i love how two of these are like high fantasy sorta-villainous AUs and then there’s fedex aldiirn with your parcel

List of Male OCs: D&D Styled OCs

What, something of substance? On this blog?? Excuse me what????

To give context, these are my D&D Babies™️, at least all of the male ones. I have definitely have not played as all of them, but I would love to incorporate them into a campaign or a story one day.

Quick Warning, I have a lot of monks,,,and I mean a lot.

aNYways, let's get it

Charoseth "Pip" Filburn. Kalashtar monk, lawful neutral.

Doesn't know his first name, so he calls himself Pip bc it's easy for him to remember.

Red hair

Heterochromia (one red eye and one green eye)

His appearance is loosely based on my little brother, who has dreadlocks, similar brown eyes and caramel colored skin

One of my many cinnamon rolls

Kinda gay,,,just a little

A whole baby

Charo, the name of the spirit that shares his body, can't stand Pip because he's kinda dumb, so it always saves his ass from danger by scaring him

Felix. Albino tiefling bard, neutral good.

Has white skin and red, pupilless eyes

Kind of blind

Okay very blind, he can't aim to save his life

Wears a cloak constantly bc the sun is a deadly laser

Was a dancer in a travelling circus

Flirts with everyone, no one is safe

Painfully sarcastic

Insecure about his appearance

Plays the flute and viol

His human mother gave birth to him in a circus tent, but then died after freezing to death three hours later. She was a prostitute living in secrecy so that his father, a tiefling war general, didn't find and kill her.

He gets his albinism from his mother

Silas Ellescar. Elf (Eladrin) monk, chaotic good.

I think most of my male OCs are gay oops-

Loves the stars and sky

In the game he's in currently, he stole a motorcycle and named it Sheva.

In game he has almost died three times bc elves are kinda hated all over the continent he lives in

His character appearance was loosely based on Prince Zuko, minus the scar and excessive angst

He's actually really young, and maturity wise is the youngest character I have (in human years he is 16)

Scarily independent, and he's the most reckless in his party

Loves rocks, his sister, and the sound of "mean people" in pain

Might be a sadist,,,maybe

Teekl Heiresi. Changeling rogue, neutral good.

Another cinnamon roll

It's actually unsure of the actual gender of Teekl, but he uses a more masculine appearance.

Selective mute

Has an "emo fringe", but he just doesn't want to creep people out with the fact that he has one eye so he covers it

He can be the squishiest party wise, but he's really, really good at being sneaky so he hasn't died yet

My first ace character

Questions everything about everything

When he does speak he has the thickest Australian accent

Turns into a mouse when he's scared, it's an instinct that he developed after living in slums

Adonis Lolth. High elf warlock, true neutral.

This is my gayest character

Has no reason to buy, sell, or give a fuck

He made a pact with a demon for revenge, and it has since then fucked with his moral compass

The irresponsible wine mom friend

Talks to himself very often

"Curiouser and curiouser..."

Wears big round glasses

When he smiles it either means "end-my-suffering" or "they'll-never-find-your-body". There's no in between.

His husband was executed after accidentally killing a woman, so Adonis has a personal grudge against women

Phynwen Astreas. Aasimar barbarian, chaotic good.

Brain the size of a walnut

Actually stupid

Stronk but s o f t

Loves butterflies and collects their wings

Chaotic. Very chaotic.

Undyingly loyal

Often called the party's "danger doggo"

Has a personal vendetta against chickens and religion

Speaks Giant for backstory reasons

Is 7'1" but still tries to hide behind people like a little kid

Aroace

Amnesiac

Confused constantly

Never, I repeat NEVER get him drunk.

Lived in a forest after being kicked out of his village

Unnecessarily violent and loud

Zenrir Redfable. Tiefling warlock, neutral good.

No one: H- Zenrir: "Peasant."

Thinks being noble is a personality trait

He absolutely despises it when Teekl speaks because he has no idea what he's saying

He kinda reminds me of Monoma from MHA-

He's literally just an asshole, there's nothing else

Fascinated by poor people

Always angry at literally everyone

Loves children but should never be left alone with one. Ever.

Agni. Fire genasi wizard, lawful neutral.

Curses, like, a lot.

Sparky sparky boom boi

Reads like no one's business

Has a laugh that can cure diseases

Scares kids because he's way too excitable

So,,,squishy

"That's kinda gay."

Hisses before he speaks

Afraid of water because, well, obvious reasons. He was also a pirate once, and almost drowned after walking the plank.

Kai. Water genasi monk, lawful good.

Why do I have so many monks

No, he doesn't know what you just said.

Spacey as hell

"Yes...?"

Gay Disaster™️. Don't flirt with him, his response will be either fainting or screaming. Or both, but that hasn't happened yet.

Smart enough and caring enough to be the mom friend, but he's too spacey

Hugs people for fun

Agni is his brother from another mother, literally. He stayed in their village while Agni rebelled and almost got himself killed with a group of pirates. They reunited twenty years later.

Syrlok Godelyth. A drow rogue/bard, true neutral.

Tried to kill Pip for money, but he got his ass kicked. Pip spared him bc he felt bad.

Pip fell asleep on his shoulder once and it still fucks him up to this day.

The only reason that he has that dumb name is so I can make him say dumb shit and the response will be "No shit Syrlok"

Also angsty

So much emotional baggage

Someone give him a hug

But like...

Metaphorically

I have a backstory for him but it's just very, very angsty. Like grotesquely angsty.

Anjel Nailo. Drow cleric (knowledge domain), lawful neutral.

Forgets that he's a cleric almost all the time

Has a serious staring problem

Has only been seen blinking five times in his entire being with his party

Hates armor with a passion

For some reason he has a charisma of 14 and all he does is stare at people and smile awkwardly

Head over heels for Kai

Related to Melancholia Nailo (one of my female OCs)

That's all of them (for now). If for some reason you read them all then, thank you for reading. I apologize if I started giving less details as I continued, I started at 7:30 and ended four hours later.

Anyway, I'mma go now, bye~

One-off South Australian D&D

I'm currently in South Australia for an Arts & Theatrics Festival I'm participating in. While here I had f*** all to do, so I found the South Australia Dungeons & Dragons group. I sent a message crying for my D&D fix and a mod responded inviting me to a game he was running.

I had a thing on tonight so I got there late and only got to play for an hour and a half but the way the game was run was very similar to the first session of D&D I played in high school. Basically, extremely homebrew. Very extremely homebrew.

I'm more used to official D&D stuff (besides my first session and this one) so I actually decide to play my first Adventuree's League character but make him on the same level as the other characters (lvl. 14). He never died when I first played him so I thought "Why not?". He's a Tiefling Wild Magic Sorcerer named 'Joey Walks'.

Joey is found in a room with a massive water pool, seemingly trying to unlock a small box (sure, why not). I smell scorched wood and plants so I turn around to see a f***ing Large Rose Bush with a Tiefling-shaped face sprouting out of a rose that was just freshly burned (Thorn) and a Fire Monk who is getting ready to attack me (Fae, DM controlled)!

I cast 'Dominate Person' on the Monk and talk to the Rose Bush.

Joey: Sorry to Dominate your friend there. I really am friendly, I'm just not strong so... yeah. You can talk your friend down, yeah? If I release her?

Thorn: Oh no, she doesn't listen to me. You're on your own buddy.

Joey: In that case, mind if I make her open this box while she's under my spell?

Thorn: Sure.

Joey gets her to open it, she drops it on the ground and smashes it with her foot. As the sound of smashing glass fills the room the obliterated box oozes green liquid. Thorn slides a root over to suck up the liquid and finds he has a temporary +1 to STR.

Joey decides to Shape Water around Fae and then freeze it so that her body is covered in ice except her head. I then stand behind Thorn and release Dominate Person. Fae instantly breaks out of the ice. Joey talks her down enough that she won't kill him but still doesn't trust him. That's fine.

Fae: So, where did you come from?

Joey: Oh... me?

DM: I'll be right back, going to the toilet. Come up with how you got here while I'm gone.

Now, I have absolutely no idea about this world. There's a place called "Sunny-landia" that's filled with Drow. That's all I know, and I know we're not there. So where did I come from?

Joey: Uhh... Water Portal. I was walking along a beach, saw a small glistening whirlpool, jumped in aaand came out of this pool of water.

Thorn: Right.

DM returns.

Fae: So, where did you come from?

Joey: *repeats himself*

Fae: Oh...

DM: Is that really what you're going with?

Joey (OOC): I mean, my character comes from an old Adventurer's League game so... I can think of something else if you want.

DM: No, it's fine.

Fae: So, this hallway behind us is practically endless. I think we jump in the portal.

Thorn: We've still got our Drow friend roaming the halls though.

Fae: *thinks for a moment* ... *jumps in*

Thorn: Okay then! *jumps in*

Joey: *shrugs and jumps in*

DM: You end up on a beach, with black water at nighttime. Roughly 3AM. You think you are at least 500 miles from where you were.

Thorn: And what's behind us?

DM: Dunes of sand.

The DM then realises he has no idea where the fuck the party has just gone. He's written no notes on this place, he came up with it on the spot and decided to close the portal behind them so now the characters are locked in a completely unknown land. He was planning on wrapping up anyway, but now he has to create a whole new region.
