#it's actually Percival King from Epithet Erased

[asquared-ohgodnotthehorrors]

Ok, let’s start with Yoomtah Zing; I will admit, most of the evidence will not beat the anime accusations because the creator did state her design was based on Kil La Kill but like… trust me: exhibit a

This is a moderate amount of silly, and showcases a bit of the silly of two other characters from the book.

Exhibit b

Little bit of info about her and her silliness. A promo card for the Epithet Erased: Prison of Plastic Campaign actually.

Also Epithet Erased does have Molly Blyndeff, 12 year old with a job, anxiety, misophonia and burnout, Percival King, aka Mrs. Butter Water- wait a sec she’s a MUCH better example than Yoomtah!

Ok we’re gonna pivot: Percival King

Drinks from Pinecones, loves law, doesn’t know what corruption is, never went to Canada, and if you have 10 minutes of your day to spare spend it here

Ok I’ve been talking enough about Epithet Erased, LET’S GET ON WITH LARK AND MIDST ALREADY! THE GRIZZLED GRANDMA HERSELF:

Looking it up again, she’s actually in her 60s! Anyhow, cool bounty hunter, hates the capitalist-theocracy, can read only her future so has to give BS tellings to other people for it to work, mysterious past, the gist. Also has a dog named Landlord who’s also very old, and has informally taken in this kid named Tzila as her surrogate granddaughter. Also kills professionally.

Just listen to Midst, not a lot I can say without meaningful spoilers,

People on the internet love to recommend the complete opposite of what you're looking for

What Evilly likes to see in a Lawful Good Character: Compassion. A genuine sense of justice. A level of understanding for things that don’t fit perfect into a rigid system of right and wrong. The ability to top me. Bit of a silly side. A fancy-in-a-fun-way vocabulary. Percival King from Epithet Erased. The ability to viciously call someone out on their bullshit while still being completely calm and polite. A real-ass goddamn sword. Percival King from Epithet Erased again. Cool awesome abilities that they only use when all of the cards are down and there’s no other way out. An adorable fascination with something normally considered boring and mundane. What Evilly doesn’t like to see in a Lawful Good Character: Close-mindedness. Any belief that a system is perfect and works in any context or situation. A hatred towards a clearly intelligent monster race. Just general hardass traits. A level of naivety that goes beyond cute innocence and into actual dumbassery. Any notion that they know what’s best for anyone but themselves. Attractiveness being their only redeeming feature, especially when it’s effective; I am weak-willed and sometimes those damn abs get me. A bias towards those with status rather than towards their own loved ones. The inability to change, and then acting like that’s a good character quality.

fun fact (and also somewhat of a little story)! i am a VERY late fan to friday night funkin- i first heard of it when senpai was suddenly all over my twitter timeline (back then i think i was still in some kinda genshin impact phase lol) and while i didn't quite feel like getting into this new rhythm game everyone was talking about, when i say i saw senpai everywhere i mean it

i didn't know who exactly this guy was, what his name was, or why everyone was talking about him specifically but he had similar colors to percival king from epithet erased so i mentally called him percy (of course, i know now that perce would probably cuff senpai after hearing about the nuts insult)

and if you're wondering how i actually, finally got into the game, some rhythm gamer i was subscribed to on youtube played it and i saw it in my notifs and was like "ok guess i'll watch this and see what exactly everyone's been hyping up"

Epithet Erased - What the found family is like when they’re sick

Molly: The most pathetic thing you ever saw in your entire life. She doesn’t want to bother anybody with her problems, so she just kinda deals with it, sniffling quietly, suppressing coughs until it hurts, and chugging chicken soup from a thermos. When the others figure out she’s been hiding her sickness from them, they’re falling over themselves to take care of her, because the tiny bear bean should never feel bad. Between Percy, Ramsey, and Giovanni, she’s feeling better in no time. 

Giovanni: Also incredibly pathetic, and he will not let you forget it. He whines like a baby about how he’s dying and how bad he feels, to the point where it’s hard for anyone to feel sorry for him.

Sylvie: DR. SYLVESTER ASHLING DOESN’T GET SICK! (Yes, he does, he just tries to work through it, which inevitably ends with him crashing and being sicker longer than necessary. The other characters basically have to lock him in his room and hide anything he could possibly use to work to get him to actually rest.)

Mera: The meanest sick person you’ll ever meet. She’s spent the majority of her life confined to her bed from being ill and frail, and she’s pissed about it every time she’s forced to do it again. Most of the others avoid her when she’s sick. Surprisingly, the only person she’ll let be around her is Indus, who’s just too cheerful to even realize she’s being a jerk to him.

Indus: Indus hasn’t gotten sick since he was five years old with the chicken pox. If any germs tried to make him sick now, he would just use his epithet (WHICH IS BARRIER) to stop them! Sylvie has tried to explain to him that’s not how pathogens work, but Indus would just tell him it must work, because he hasn’t gotten sick. Molly would have to pry Sylvie away before he broke his brain trying to get the idea through Indus’s thick head.

Percy: As soon as she feels a sore throat coming on, it’s orange juice, cold medicine, bed rest, and chicken soup for her. She won’t have any scurrilous diseases come between her and her police work. Or worse, infect one of the minors for which she is now responsible. Sick days are contained while Detective Percival King is on duty!

Ramsey: A very chill sick person. He’s had to take care of himself for so long now that it doesn’t phase him anymore. He just covers himself up with as many blankets as he can find, falls asleep, and doesn’t wake up or even move until he feels better, to the point where everyone thinks he might be dead and they have to poke him a few times to be sure. 

Zora: Whips up these old-timey tonics and cure-alls that she absolutely swears by, all of which contain scores of frankly worrying ingredients. Ramsey swears up and down that he saw her mix uncut cocaine into a blender with some weird-looking root and ginger ale, then chug it all at once. She never stays sick for long though, so either the cures work, or the concoctions are just so potent that her entire body is disinfected as soon as it goes down her throat. No one is sure and they’re all too afraid to find out.

D&D Stories with Perseus (me!)

My favorite D&D campaign I’ve ever been a part of was when my girlfriend (our forever DM) asked me if I could help her out on a story she wanted to do. Basically it became a 1 Player campaign and my other party members would be NPCs created by my GF so that she could also test out other PCs

She had me make a level three character before we started and before I even knew the theme of the campaign, so I made a funky little Drow Bard who taught himself Illusion magic. I gave him a hermit background and basically wrote his backstory for him to be searching for the adventurers who helped him escape the Underdark and chase his dreams of writing music, unfortunately, those adventurers were all humans and died a few hundred years before my Bard actually escaped (there’s a whole thing with an enchanted sleep that I forgot to write down and yeah)

So now my bard is going around just trying to make a living and not get sunburned

We sit down to start the campaign and my character gets framed for murder right off the bat. That’s fine, I guess, Terran (my Drow’s name that he picked for himself) is Lawful Good so he cooperates with the Aasimir police captain named Persephone (she was based off of Percival King from Epithet Erased)

Persephone tells Terran that she knows that he didn’t kill anyone, but her coworkers still want him charged because he’s a Drow. So she makes him a deal: find the actual murderer before next Sunday (seven days) and all will be forgiven and he’d receive a reward

The reason the killer needed to be found in seven days was that on that Sunday, the current Aasimir King would be traveling through the town and the police can’t exactly have a serial killer on the loose

So Terran heads over to the Adventurer’s Guild to hire some help with some cash that Persephone gave him. He hires Daniel the level 2 Goblin Cleric (the poor kid is barely of age to become an adventurer and he’s so nervous) and Martix the Tiger Tabaxi Ranger (Level 2 Ranger, Level 1 Barbarian).

The three went back to a tavern to find info and Terran and Daniel get pulled aside by a Changeling who wants to help. The Changeling drags the two guys around the city for a bit before more Changelings show up and forces the two dudes to fight them. When Terran and Daniel beat them, the original Changeling reveals that there’s a cult of Changelings all around the city who are planning to overthrow the Aasimir King. These Changelings have been stealing identities from the townspeople and killing those who could be threats to their plans. One of these Changelings happened to impersonate Terran and that’s why he got arrested

Terran and Daniel (the poor kid) return to Martix and suddenly a bar fight breaks out between another adventurer (who has only been described as “The Red Pirate”, but has been seen around town for a while) and some guards. Things happen and the entire place blows up. Martix got hurt defending Terran, so the bard dragged him to the Adventurer’s Guild to get him patched up. Only problem is that now Daniel is missing and where he was standing was a note saying to meet his captors by the docks at sundown

So the two get ready and spend hours talking to each other. Turns out Martix didn’t trust Terran at all when they first met and was only helping him to get some money, but now the bard has his respect. (Terran also gave him a ball of yarn and Martix went all cat-mode with it, it was very adorable)

The two get to the docks and find three Changelings in human disguises standing around a tied up Daniel who looks terrified. Martix rages while Terran uses bardic inspiration to give everyone a boost. They easily kill two of the Changelings with some CRIT rolls and Terran chases after the third Changeling who happens to be the leader. Terran tries to get information out of the creature, but to no avail (I failed FOUR intimidation/persuasion checks! FOUR)

So Terran goes to stab the leader with his rapier to reduce him to Changeling sludge, but his blade goes through flesh and bone on it’s face. Terran just stabbed a real human in the face. Huh?!?!?!

Daniel is fine and Terran goes to report in to Persephone, who’s work schedule is just pure havoc. She still has to finish arrangements for the King’s visit, but she also has to take a band of pirates to the gallows. Terran volunteers to run them over to the gallows since it’s on the way to some stores that are owned by known Changelings (the party wants to gather some more info)

Persephone agrees and gives the party a very noticeable wink. We meet the pirates and their captain is a very large and muscular human who probably has some orc blood in him. Daniel uses “Zone of Truth” and the party learns that the pirates have committed no crime, but they too had their identities stolen by Changelings. Using his judgement, Terran decides to let them go and comes up with an excuse to explain their escapement. We find out later that the Red Pirate is the son of the captain and now he owes us for not sentencing his father and crew to death. Also, Terran and The Red Pirate find themselves being attracted to each other??? (curtesy of my girlfriend for giving Terran a love interest because he deserves it)

HOWEVER THE FUCKING CAMPAIGN HAD TO BE PUT ON HIATUS BECAUSE OF COVID AND WE HAVEN’T CONTINUED IT BECAUSE I LOST MY CHARACTER SHEET FOR TERRAN

I was so interested to expose this entire conspiracy with the Changeling cult and maybe a pirate adventure but neither my gf or I have any notes from last year and we’re so mad.

Anyways, I’m sharing this so that it can be of inspiration to other D&D players who need a homebrew campaign idea

(i still think that persephone knew that she had changelings in her police station which is why she put her trust in a fucking drow over other aasimirs and apparently martix had a whole backstory too and daniel was slowly becoming terran’s adoptive little brother like that funky little goblin was my LIFE)
