another PC from the one shot i ran for my friends some days ago

our rogue Neo

his full name was Laios "Neo" Paim, hes a varian human scout rogue.

the last drawing is of him and Faerie in the epilogue, after they had come back to safety after everything went down. there was a lot of hugs.

[ID: in the first drawing Neo is sitting down, elbows on his knees, with his head down and looking into distance, one of his hands is resting on his sniper rifle. Neo is a middle aged white man, with brown-gray hair in a helf up half down hairstyle and a beard. he has an eyepatch on his left eye, a long dark green coat over brown leather armor, a scarf around his neck, camo pants, kneepads and black work boots. the second drawing is of Neo standing, showcasing his design. the third drawing is of Neo and Faerie, an elf with long brown hair, a red and gold outfit with blue tattooes of flowers across her left arm. Neo and Faerie are hugging. End ID]

6, 23, 71, 81, 98 for Bree?

(also 51 lol)

lmao sorry i completely forgot about this until i opened the thing i had all this typed up in. this was from a dnd character ask thing that i reblogged ????? weeks ago

6. what is your character’s opinion on nobility? on authority?

bree’s opinion on nobility/authority is kind of complicated. she comes from a fairly privileged position and she always tries to see the best in people, but she’s read enough to know that people in power shouldn’t be trusted just because of their status. power corrupts and all that jazz. she’s also pretty headstrong and tends to do things without much forethought which usually leads to her getting in trouble with authority figures

23. if your character could go back in time and change one thing about their life, what would it be?

bree isn’t really one for regrets and tries to make the best out of every situation so if you asked her, she’d probably say nothing. in reality, she would probably go back and let her parents know that she’s alive and well in the aftermath of the attack on her temple instead of just sneaking away to avoid their judgment. she’s still worried about what they would think or do, but she wants to spare them the pain she put them through by just leaving.

51. is your character more swayed by ethos, pathos, or logos?

bree’s pretty reactive so she’s most likely to be convinced through pathos. she’s not one for sitting around for long periods of time to make detailed plans or listen to all of a person’s qualifications before they make their point so if that’s your style, you’ll probably lose her attention quickly. getting her fired up in some way (positive or negative) and letting her use that energy is your best bet. she does listen to reason though so logos also works well when you can get her to slow down for a second

71. describe how your character feels about the party’s current situation/objective/etc.

well we totally destroyed a mind flayer last session so she had a good time with that. the almost getting possessed by a tiny brain with legs that happened right before that wasn’t as fun but still

81. what does your character’s name represent to them? (or: why as a player did you choose your character’s name?)

bree’s full name is brigid valentina isobel bronzeriver because i think it’s funny when a character who goes by a nickname actually has a really long name. brigid apparently means “power” or “exalted one” and valentina means “strength” or “health” and those really seemed to fit the whole aasimar paladin vibe. isobel means “god is my oath” which felt right bc both of bree’s parents worked in a temple and the idea of an oath goes back to the paladin thing. i got bronzeriver from fantasynamegenerator bc i like alliterative names

98. what advice would your character give to a younger version of themselves?

maybe do more research on strange artifacts (especially swords) before you start your job and shit goes down? i’d say something like “actually think before you do things” but present-day bree still hasn’t figured that one out yet lol

Storyteller Saturday! — What’s your main WIP about and what inspired you to write it? Do you have a playlist or “soundtrack” for it?

oh wow i can’t actually decide whether Hero or Four Lost Things would be considered my main wip right now, so i’m gonna go ahead and do both lol

Hero: i don’t actually know what inspired it? it was a plot bunny i got one day and wrote down, i suppose. at first, all i had was this corporation named Hero and this character named Alina who wanted to take it down. i wrote down a few details about her, like how she’s cold and calculating and has a soft spot for sick children, and then i only came back to it months, maybe a year later. it’s definitely grown and i’m really happy about it!i do indeed have a playlist for it! it’s a total mishmash of genres, but they’re all songs that i feel fit the story. i have a general one, ones for individual characters, and two for the main romance in the story (Emrys and Averill). it was on YouTube and then i moved it to Google Play as of yesterday, though i had to substitute Gregory Alan Isakov’s version of The Trapeze Swinger for the original one. most of the songs don’t have lyrics that relate to the story; they just have that vibe.

Four Lost Things: first write-in of the 2019 NaNo season, some time in September, and i noticed that the person next to me had something relating to a fantasy with a royalty. i thought “oh man that’s cool, i’d like to write a fantasy with a royal family”, and then it just kind of spiraled from there. we were talking about d&d so i figured, why not use dice to determine aspects of the story? i wanted to write something big and sprawling, so i decided to have several POVs. then i went looking for writing prompts, and i found something that made me think of the idea for The Library. it all went from there, eventually deciding to have a servant MC instead of a royal or noble MC, and to have this group against The Library (the idea for which came about after i was on fantasynamegenerators and i found a witch coven name generator), and i’m super excited to actually write it this November!i also have a playlist for this one, or, several playlists. they’re on Google Play Music as well. these playlists are also mismatched genres and songs. the general playlist only has two songs atm (Magpie by The Unthanks and Leeds United by Amanda Palmer), but each MC plus Rel’s love interest has a playlist of 14-18 songs
