Character Dice Pallette Feature » Shizu Nekomi

A tibbit assassin I built for 3.5, converted to Pathfinder, and converted again to 5e, Shizu has a thin halfling frame, bronze skin, emerald eyes, and long red hair she keeps tied in a high ponytail that trails to her waist. An ex-assassin ninja by trade, she wears a sleeveless gi tied at the waist, overtop a silk burgundy dress which she finishes off with a studded black leather skirt. Most notably, she carries an enchanted quiver filled with arrows and weapons of all kinds, and is almost overladen by belt pouches and packs strapped surprisingly streamlined around her torso and waist.

Though Shizu is just 25, she has achieved much in her time. She lived for many years in a secret society of tibbit ninja, graduating early meant she would be sent to an Organization, where her skills could be of use in an unfettered environment.

After some time working in the city she was placed, she found a very deep-seeded corruption in the upper echelons of the Organization, and unable to convince her unit to abandon their mission to wipe out the very corruption that writes their checks, she left.

Stowing away on many ships, and eventually falling through a dimensional portal or few, she landed in a strange iterance of Ravnica, spread over a vast continent rather than confined to a single city. Through many unsanctioned archaeological digs and artifact recoveries, she found herself not only in the employ of Isperia as an Archaeological Emissary, but she is also in possession of a Cursed Blade from the Shadowfell, and an Enchanted Chimera that one belonged to a Demon Lord. The plot, and the blood pool, thickens as things develop.

Shizu learns Draconic to be able to communicate better with her new companion, who she affectionately calls "kitty" in Draconic, Calti. What she learned from him is that, while he is cursed enchanted to turn to stone when not needed, and to follow orders without question, he does not have a moral compass, and needs a obscene large amount of murder to function.

Worried, Shizu seeks the aid of a Coven of witches, whose power comes from the Thirteen Moons of this plane. Together they hold an extravagant ceremonial ritual to enchant Calti in order to imbue him with a Fey Familiar spirit.

Not long after they do this, Shadar Kai start haunting Shizu in her waking hours, while the Shadowfell Prince haunts her while she sleeps. After quite some time enduring it, and one useless lead box later, she has had enough.

She travels to the Shadowfell with her Coven Elder Ladrielya, a moon elf Necromancer, to find the Prince who owns this Cursed Sword, so she can assassinate the fuck out of his face free herself from his constant bombardments and advances, only to find him long-dead, entombed in a cursed sarcophagus that encapsulates him in a crystalline stasis between death and life, by the very demon that enslaved Calti.

In slaying the Demon Lord, she finds a young party of adventurers from Rakdos in way over their heads, and feels a kinship to them, much like an older sibling that builds character with tough love. Shizu disenchants the tomb with the help of the coven, and gifts the sword to a young Hexblade, who may be the only one suitable to carry the weight of the Raven Prince's life in his hands.

New Dice Breakdown: Blood Skies » CozyGamer

Tiny black bats fly around a clear, deep-red eternal twilight, where the clouds hang in heavy metallic silver and black twisted wisps in the air. The wisps bring thoughts of floating cities made of shrapnel, organized chaos, and bloodlust. Airing on the darker end of present-day Shizu, but still a very welcome reminder of past and present, in a dichotomy slightly askew. 🩸🦇🔥✨

New Dice Breakdown: Philosopher's Stone » Viridian

The photo really doesn't do it justice. Bright red flares with dark, green-black shadows and a bronze-green shimmer make these dice a Sight to Behold. ♥️✨

New Dice Breakdown: Crystal Rose » CozyGamer

I have been in love with this mottled-nebula-swirl pattern Cozygamer has for ages now. To see it in red, with a blue-clear base, and with the gorgeous glitter inclusions, has been a special treat for me. Red and Blue Nebulas. The cosmic dice set I didn't know I needed. 🌹💫

New Dice Breakdown: Red Dahlia » CozyGamer

Ethereal sunset red clouds swirling around a holo-glitter and clear red, nearly liquid-looking base. The softest toned set I got, Red Dahlia is the flower that starts out pure and white, and beautifully fades to a so-deep and vibrant red at the tips, it's almost foreboding. This is the origin set that cascaded into my spree of Red Dice for Shizu, as it matched her aesthetic perfectly. ♥️✨

Now the question remains, would they look better inked in black? 🤔🖤
