4 memes that perfectly encapsulate my OC

Got tagged by @deathandthesoul

The only one I could scrounge together four memes for from our D&Ds discord is Corvin Morningrider so here:

Tagging: @astrangedoor @ocheeva @jauffre and whoever else wants to do it!

[lealdog]

he's beautiful. again, incredible art! <3 thanks so much.

this is Corvin's (my D&D paladin) horse. he still needs a name but he is inspired by and based off a horse that i knew many years ago and loved. he was super stubborn and a character for sure. his name was Eikano.

commission for @lealdog !

Six Song Soundtrack Game

I was tagged by @deathandthesoul (thank u!). I'll do this for my D&D Aasimar Paladin Corvin because that's basically his existing playlist and I never got around to making a post about it. Past events only (some remaining backstory spoilers for my D&D group). Full playlist here.

I'm gonna tag @mournwatch (I know you were already tagged but i can't not tag my husband) @astrangedoor @jauffre @silkenred @sotc @informaltorching and anyone else who wants to do it!

Rules: If you're tagged, make a new post with links to music and/or lyrics describing the following… (I re-ordered them to fit the chronology better)

How others view them:

It's less about the lyrics but mostly the vibes (the lyrics fit in an abstract sense). Aasimar as the chosen ones. The special little guy. The miracle of their birth. All the crushing expectations others burden you with. Thinking you'll bring them salvation.

Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic):

I found you buried. I pulled your cold hands from the sand. I was much too late. To save you from yourself. His best friend is dead and he was too late to save him because the Daeva in his head told him to be somewhere else, to save the world, or something— what was ever more important? I still feel your voice. Piercing through the wind.

Event that defines your character's past:

It's Corvin reckoning with himself and his Daeva. Please be quiet. And leave. Tell me again about my miracle. Tell me again about my miracle. Tell me again about my miracle. Tell me again about my miracle. Tell me again about my miracle. Stop giving me hope. He never asked to be special. He lost his best friend because of *them*. The group he joined is offering a way out. The middle of the song marks his first kill and the moment he falls as an Aasimar.

A major fight scene:

He was a terrifying henchman, leading a group of ruffians terrorising the locals. The group he joined turned out to be a death cult, attempting to summon demons to bring about the end. He didn't know until it was too late. He snitched to the city guards about their plans to be able to stop the ritual. The cult found out and imprisoned him. This is the night of the ritual. Chaos and fire, Corvin fighting his way out and making a pact with an entity (Hexblade Warlock) to get out alive.

How your character sees themselves:

Grief and failure burn in my veins. Vice and regret coursing through me. Breathe in defeat, feel it aching. Cold black heartbreak, lungs collapsing. Dear departed. Violent hands. Faith forgotten. No redemption. I am no one. I am nothing. Forgive me my Father, for I am a sinner.

Can he ever be forgiven? Can he ever forgive himself? Can he redeem himself and be good?

📻 for Cecil, Jonathan, Corvin, Mike

Cecil: The Cycle by Death Tour & WARGASM (UK)

It's there for the vibes. He's an edgy scene kid (just some years late) and his playlist has a lot of fast-paced trap metal and hyperpop adjacent things.

Jonathan: Something I Can Never Have by Nine Inch Nails

Story don't read

Jonathan's playlist is s train wreck honestly with no clear vibe to it. This song is kinda there for the lyrics and a little bit of the vibes. It's about the intimate act of killing someone and then missing them later— being conflicted about his inability to just be with someone without the need of crawling into their insides, craving the intimacy of those final moments and them being forever with him and no one else. He's fucked up.

Corvin: Bright Black Beach by So Hideous

D&D friends don't read

This song is Corvin at his worst, at his angriest and most desperate. It follows his falling as an Assimar, his first kill, seduced to it by the cult that had its claws hooked into him. The song starts off with a sigh off relief– finally, he's free of the daeva (he's an Assimar) that he blames for the death of his best friend, and really everything else. And then begin the atrocities— Corvin leading a band of ruffians to murder and plunder and burn for the benefit of the cult who'd been using his anger and grief to do their bidding and get revenge on the world.

Mike: Dumb by Haezer

This song is there for the lyrics: "Punch me in the face I wanna feel something". And this his playlist has a bunch of edgy electronic shit this fit right in.
