⚔ Nemesis's Golden Girl ⚔

Of the ~8 dnd/pf characterters I've played in the past 2-3 years (including oneshot characters), 4 of them have rolled a crit (success or fail) on their first ever rolls:
Rook: Nat 20 Perception(??)
Avra: Nat 1 Stealth (she's a rogue with expertise which makes it worse.)
Odynia: Nat 1 Initiative (paladin with -1 dex so total of zero, lmao.)
and now Tasya: Nat 20 Attack (trying to "prove herself" for a mission)
And this is literally their first ever roll. It makes for either a very cool or very funny introduction.

Odynia Adrasteia Erinys
Aasimar Paladin (Oath of Vengeance), follower of Nemesis
Tumblr media
My Friday group is switching campaigns again, and I wanted to revisit the idea of an aasimar oath of vengeance paladin. And since this campaign is very heavily Greek myth-inspired, Nemesis had to be involved, of course.
I know almost nothing about her, but I'm so very excited to figure out more.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥
This has been loitering in my inbox for literal months and I kept forgetting about it, but I decided I might as well finally answer it!! Let's talk about Odynia, my aasimar vengeance paladin for an upcoming campaign, because I need to work on developing her.
Tumblr media
She traded her eye to Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution, so that Nemesis could see through her eye and check up on the mortal plane. The scar on her face is NOT from that exchange, but rather from when her sibling tried to cut Nemesis's magic out of her face.
She currently works as a bodyguard for the twin heirs of a noble household dedicated to Ares (those twins being two of the other PCs). She took the job for her own personal reasons (vengeance-related), and doesn't exactly like it...
Despite this, she's extremely dedicated to her job, and puts her work over most other things in life. She has a fearsome reputation, and at this point her mere presence is enough to deter most attempts on Adonia's life.
She can summon black feathered wings for a short period of time each day, but rarely does so, as she prefers to keep her aasimar powers a secret. However, she was forced to do so to rescue her charge, Adonia, from attempted kidnappers. Both of them swore to never talk about it again, and certainly not to tell Adonia's twin, Apate.
Her full name is Odynia Adrasteia Erinys. Odynia is a name I made up (as far as I can tell) derived from Greek roots meaning pain. Adrasteia was another name for Nemesis and means "the inescapable". Erinys was also related to Nemesis, and also similar to the Greek name for the Furies: Erinyes. So her name more or less translates to "inescapable pain/grief/suffering".

This is my first ever roll as Odynia, and it's a fucking nat 1. For initiative no less.
Tumblr media
This is my second character whose first ever roll was a nat 1. (Avra's first ever roll was a nat 1 for stealth... She's a rogue with expertise in stealth.) Ironically, Rook's first ever roll was a nat 20.

Odynia Adrasteia Erinys
Aasimar Oath of Vengeance Paladin, follower of Nemesis
Tumblr media
My Friday group is swapping campaigns again (this is the 3rd campaign in less than a year), and I'm playing (another) aasimar paladin! Oath of Vengeance goes perfectly with the goddess of divine retribution...

D&D OC Intro
(inspired by @goldenwaves's post!!)
[transcript under the cut]
This is FAR from everyone, but it's the characters I've played for more than a oneshot, and the ones I actually talk about.
TRANSCRIPT:
Zenara Raventhorn (aka Zen)
Tiefling Warlock (Pact of the Fiend)
The first D&D character I ever played.
Only got to play two sessions with them.
Unintentionally inspired by Critical Role Campaign 2
Backstory written between 1-3am on my phone.
Has an imp familiar who looks like a raven.
Occasionally gets possessed by their patron, and then gets given new powers as an "apology".
Fire theme.
Rook (Adrian Lockwood)
Half-elf Rogue (Swashbuckler)
First (and only) character to make it past 8 sessions. (So far.)
Disaster bisexual pirate boy with SO MUCH trauma.
Wields a magic rapier that was a gift from his captain + first mentor.
Enemies with a different pirate captain who wants to capture him.
Has decent charisma but relatively terrible social skills.
Bastard son of a nobleman. Has daddy issues.
Reckless and impulsive to a fault. Would die for his friends.
May or may not be cursed by a demon lord.
Asola Riava Ashmark
Aasimar Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)
Made it 8 sessions before we switched campaigns.
Doesn't know she's an aasimar. Her powers show up when she experiences extreme emotions and it's only ever happened twice in her life.
Got briefly possessed and then force-shut-down by a literal god.
Has a habit of picking up stray traumatized young people.
The party's moral compass. Tried to keep them somewhat in line.
Believes that laying down her life to save someone else's is worth it. Swears she doesn't have self-worth issues.
Morana Novak
Witch (Curse Patron)
Character for an eventual Pathfinder game.
Named after a Slavic goddess of death and winter.
Necromancer, got kicked out of her hometown for graverobbing and experimenting on corpses.
Her familiar is a raven named Miro, who she rescued and trained.
Autistic as hell, which will be fun for me to play.
Very creepy and unsettling person.
One of her future party members nicknamed her "Mortician".
Cyra
Fire Genasi Barbarian (Path of the Storm Herald)
Newest character on this powerpoint.
Fights with a magical flaming quarterstaff that she can summon from inside herself.
Has a stolen, magically powered vehicle.
Formerly part of a cult. Only stayed around for their toxic then-girlfriend.
Somehow basically the least traumatized member of the party. That was NOT the plan.
Avra Shadaowbreath
Shadar-Kai/Reborn Rogue (Phantom)
Devout follower of the Raven Queen, has utter faith in her actions.
Used to work for an assassin's guild until she was killed after a job gone wrong.
Revived by the Raven Queen herself to be her assassin.
Sent to Barovia to kill a powerful lich.
Has complicated feelings on her own resurrection, but her faith in the Raven Queen is stronger than her doubts about herself, for now...
A massive hypocrite when it comes to other people being resurrected.
Odynia Adrasteia Erinys
Aasimar Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)
Devoted follower of Nemesis, goddess of divine retribution.
Got transformed into an aasimar after being chosen to be Nemesis's eye on the mortal plane.
"And eye for an eye" but make it literal.
Has black feathered wings sometimes.
More than a little bit of a bitch. Very prickly at best.
Her name means "inescapable pain/grief" so that bodes well.
Hellbent on revenge... but why?
Aspen Vale
Half-Elf/Changeling Bard/Warlock (Glamour/Archfey)
Pied Piper'd into the Feywild as a child.
Learned bardic magic there, and made a pact with their patron, Fin, the god of death.
Sent back to the material plane with ZERO memories.
Named themself after the first thing they saw in the material plane - an aspen grove.
Carries a "broken" compass that Fin uses to guide them in the right direction without their knowledge.

Some examples/name stories under the cut
My dnd characters Odynia and Morana both names (including middle/last if they have them) whose meanings are related to their character/story.
Odynia, who is a Vengeance paladin in a greek-inspired campaign got her name from a greek root word meaning pain/grief, and her middle name Adrasteia being another name for Nemesis, who is her goddess, and her surname (Erinyes) is in reference to the Furies.
Morana's first name means death, plague, and is the name of a slavic goddess of death and winter. Morana is a necromancer who hails from a frozen country. Her surname, Novak, is also slavic in origin and was traditionally given to someone who was new in town. She does happen to be new-ish in town when the game begins.
Meanwhile Rook (dnd) and Fallon (original writing) both accidentally got names that fit their characters/stories.
I picked the name Fallon for my queen OC randomly, and only later did I discover that it means leader.
I can't remember how I chose Rook's name, but I know it had nothing to do with chess, yet chess symbolism ended up becoming a big thing for him recently.
My most recent dnd two-shot character is a mix of "it just sounded nice" and "has a meaning relevant to their character". Her first and middle names (Luca James) were just chosen because they sounded nice. Her surname, Keeley, both sounded nice and also is a bit of a joke because the keel is the lowest part of a ship's hull, and Luca is a pirate.

No formal fancy post about it yet, because it's still not quite done (but let's be honest, this is going to be a life-long WIP for me), but my D&D OC Page got a big update today!! Added my new girl Odynia, updated some information that was no longer accurate, added pictures to the solo pages for everyone who has them at the moment, etc. It uses the same theme set-up as my story character page, because I love those themes so much and they're perfect for this.
Fair warning, I don't think it will work on mobile. But if you're on desktop, feel free to check it out!! And if you have any questions about my beloved babies, don't hesitate to ask! <3
