*~ Your DnD (or other TTRPG/PnP) characters ~*

[shevek]

Hi, I would love to see your favorite characters you made for your pen and paper roleplaying needs

My current fave is..

🎕┈┈┈┈🎕❂⋯❋⋯❂🎕┈┈┈┈🎕

Name: Yanna Venae
Age: 21
Height: 162cm
Looks: Blonde, fishbone braid hair, slim, white, green eyes, turqoise tunic, a flower crown with magenta flowers and rosemary, horns with a ribbed pattern, rings on her fingers
Alignment: Lawful Good
Race: Satyr
Class: Bard Lvl 2
Background: Entertainer
Notable items: Little wand looking like a wilted flower, pan flute, a pearl a raven once gave as a thanks

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Yanna used to be a bartender and watched the occasional performers the bar owner hired, and was enamored with making people smile through conversation, but soon through dancing as well. Her favorite act to perform is ribbon dancing and aerial dance. She can be booked for festivals, birthdays and weddings which is the reason she is currently at the Witchlight Carnival, but as a visitor only; to get inspired by the different things she seesthere. She wants to grow and learn as a performer.
She's very agile, graceful, and physically flexible to do this type of entertainment; but she is also disorganized with items and has a hard time learning peoples names when she's nervous, she fidgets with the many rings on her fingers and sometimes juggles things absentmindedly. Her biggest fear is fire, because another dancer friend of hers used to perform with fire but got badly hurt and burned the stage down.
She has family that is mostly alive and well; her siblings are called Pantelis and Dafni.

i made a new character when i came back from indefinite hiatus in my campaign! originally i played a dragonborn druid naked rykei, but kept getting confused by new druid features as he leveled so i made a firbolg fighter named magnus... then i got kicked out because i couldn't focus on anything. now i'm on adhd meds so i was able to come back and actually be part of the game again! (i got updates on the lore and the team from my mom, who stayed playing the entire time!)

so my character now is a human rogue (arcane trickster) named peter! in terms of lore he's more of a warlock, he got his magic power after breaking into a house where a ritual was being held and the demon took a liking to him, but for combat he's just straight rogue. jumping back in with a level 12 character is rough but it's fun!

his backstory (that i keep forgetting to tell my dm) is that he was orphaned at a young age, he doesn't even remember his parents names or his own last name. he started stealing to survive, moving from place to place so he didn't get caught by police. as a teenager he started breaking into more protected houses, assuming there would be more stuff in there, and he accidentally interrupted a worshiping ritual. the cultists and the demon thing were just impressed that he managed to break down a boarded-up door and break several padlocks without making any noise... so they offered to give him some protection and education.

my longest running player character in a ttrpg was named Llanna Trilmaine (pronounced yah nah, like your character, i think, lol)

She was a human rogue of the inquisitive subclass.  She grew up in a family of nobles who helicopter-parented her for her early years, until her younger brother was born.  Her parents shifted all their attention to him because he could carry on the family name, leaving Llanna's innate rebellious and adventurous personality to blossom in her school years.  She became a historian with an interest in/obsession with widely discredited theories about lost civilizations (think Atlantis or El Dorado).

As the campaign progressed, she discovered that her latest obsession was real and linked to the evil empire taking over the galaxy (this was a spelljammer campaign :p).  But, as she got more and more involved with the politics of the galaxy in an attempt to learn more, she grew attached to another PC who was secretly the long-lost heir to the ancient civilization's throne, watched her brother be killed by an evil scientist, killed her own father for his cruel disposition and hand in her brother's death, and finally watched the aforementioned PC die after a failed move to interfere with the evil empire's plans.  This led to her eventually transforming from a wide-eyed nerd with a lot of sass into a stoic ship captain as she multi-classed into monk.

That campaign was my first and never properly concluded, but I'll always love Llanna as my first character I ever played.

I randomly rolled up a character for Trophy Gold, and she's swiftly taken on a life of her own as the campaign developed.

Obeha the poet, lured in by a devious cult who siphoned the glory of her crepuscular homey grove, has most lately descended upon an unrelated temple in the throes of celebrating their religious renaissance (the Peerless Star!). She purportedly joined the party with the goal of looting the riches (treasure hunters, ya know...) but deftly pivoted to first seeking baptism, then ascending the ranks (what she charitably calls a series of wardrobe changes involving stolen bloodied priest's garb), and finally resorting to stealing their most prized holy relic to, well, kickstart her own religion back at her destitute home

Her skills: temptation (ooh don't think I've used that one yet), passion, dissuasion (before her inversion, it was persuasion), rituals


@shevek Hope Yanna had a splendid time at the carnival (and beyond..?)!

I also have a character visiting the Witchlight Carnival! Ringaling the fairy bard (love bards), guides travelers on the Astral Plane (hence loss of any sense of time); also technically lost her sense of fashion but refuses to acknowledge it

My current campaign is set in the Game of Thrones world. My character is Barroll "Young" Blount Jr., a former maester that is now a travelling stoner bard. He plays in a band with another character in the campaign, who is equally as skilled at performance (and sleight of hand) but is not too bright. They get into situations and normally talk their way out, sometimes through cleverness and sometimes by acting like a zonked out hippie.

It's been a lot of fun and a total change of pace for me as I had only played monks before. I'm hoping to get this group to try out other RPG systems, mostly because we care way more about RP and having fun telling a dumb story together rather than fiddling with rules, but its hard to g

I don't really have any D&D characters of my own since I'm a "forever DM" by choice. BUT! My players make such cool characters and none of them are on the indie/decentraweb so I'm sharing for them!

The current campaign I'm DMing takes place in a world where magic is seen as taboo since it's known to mutate/corrupt people. It has a bit of a fairytale/low fantasy vibe. My players' characters are all members of a traveling circus. They decided this all on their own and did not consult me about it at all lol, but the idea was awesome so that is fine.

The first character is named Uta Uta and is an elven warlock. They are a jester type character that has been driven insane by the pact they made with the god of Charisma. They are now searching for a key that unlocks the artifact that sustains the curse.

Second character is named Bezeel, an artificer (who I now realize has not chosen a race somehow....  ) that learned everything he knows about magical tinkering on the streets. He works in the circus as a contortionist and has had some of his ribs removed to aid in his act. I believe his longterm goal is to make some type of godkilling weapon. Why? Hell if I know.

Third character is named Oddessa, a (I kid you not) sentient mimic princess bard. She typically takes the form of a marionette and works in the circus in the beast taming act as the beast. Her tamer is actually a friend that agreed to help her find her colony, which she's been separated from.

And that's it! I'm really excited for the campaign (we haven't started yet) and I can't wait to see how they play these characters.

One of our members was unable to make this weeks session, so I actually ended up running a quick Risus RPG 1 shot for them. I really liked it and hope to be able to DM more soon.
