I’ll tend to the flames; you can worship the ashes.
Axel, the man who has never been human, gradually turning more and more into a monster over time, pines longingly for his dearest Songbird, Reyanne. She was always described as the Siren of the Fortune’s Fate, like one of those mythical being that lure Sailors to their deaths with song. And now, with Axel gradually turning into what is assumed to be a Kraken... We have two creatures of the sea who are perfect for each other.
Making Axel into a Rogue/Warlock Swashbuckler/Fathomless was the best fucking idea I’ve ever had. There is so much angst and utility potential for this man now and I am HERE for it! Like even just with one level in Warlock I can fuck shit up so much! For example; Witch Bolt, cunning action Hide, and spend movement staying within range. I have 60ft per turn after that I can use to stay in stealthed range of the target and constantly deal damage every turn with Witch Bolt. Mission Status? SICK!
Bonus version with the text on the top because why the fuck not?
The fun part is which one of these two is saying they’ll tend to the flames. Is it Reyanne to Axel - “I’ll take care of the monsters that are inside you, you just be Axel.” Or is it Axel to Reyanne - “I promised to protect you and all you need to do is take care of me when I need it.”
Very Yin and Yang opposites going on here. I made Axel’s outfit darker and darker over time so that he’d contrast even more with Reyanne. I do plan to continue fucking up his appearance over time beyond the tentacles too! Warlocks get some cool shit at second level and beyond so you know full well I’m taking advantage of that, lmao.
Surprisingly, the one more likely to kill you for crossing them is Reyanne, not Axel. Axel will let it slide because he’s too kind. Reyanne will fucking cut you, bitch. Especially if you insult her man.
Also bonus: Here’s my boy Axel with his warlock patron (sort of)
It’s a dragon turtle named Razanid. Man holds the turtle like a hamburger and questions his life choices much like Dorian Storm on Critical Role holding Orym as a turtle and rolling away.
