🌌 ⏳ and 🌪️ for celeste <3
🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?
there was like a perfect storm of circumstances that led to celeste, i think. i was in one of my phases of being exceptionally delighted by dnd devils and asmodeus in particular, i was watching or had recently watched exu: calamity and enjoyed brennan's take on mercer's asmodeus (i quite prefer wotc's asmo, i think he's more fun and interesting, less xtian devil analogue more cool fantasy world monster god (we know my preference is giant snake asmo), but i did enjoy brennan's performance bc i love asmo and i love brennan), and i was really wanting to play dnd again and specifically play a warlock bc they're my favorite 5e class.
i think i was at work, or driving, when i had the thought "mortal lover of asmodeus would be a funny warlock concept. be even funnier if it was an aasimar" and then. yk. celeste. so the first thing i decided about him was that he was with asmo and then the rest of sunshiney dancer monk etc etc just sort of came about naturally as i rotated him.
⏳ HOURGLASS - are they usually late or on-time?
usually late, he's got some time blindness issues and is very laissez-faire about life. if he's like supposed to be performing at something, then he'll be on time or early but basically if he's not being paid then he'll probably be late
🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you’ve ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?
ooh that's a good question. prooobably giving him depression lmao. i mean he started as a fairly simple concept of 'make the most opposite thing you can to asmodeus' so he was a very cheery ray of sunshine. which he still is but now it's a decision he's making to try and deal with his issues.
#i wrote like four pages of bullshit defending why asmodeus might actually fall in love with a mortal#which only works with the wotc asmo lmao#so celeste wouldn't have been possible in an exandria campaign (which was why i made marnie)#mercer's asmo is too... bleh#hate mortals evil cruel bad tyranny like where's the *facets* where's the *layers* it's too black and white#wotc asmo has a daughter#he's described as a good dad#his devils have a fully realized culture with art and music#like he's evil but at least he's interesting and funny about it#but i'm also just not a cr fan really so i'm biased#and none of this has anything to do with celeste#replies#rumils#ask games#the oc emoji one#oc: celeste
