some of the strangest ways i’ve made characters:
- based a femme elf monk completely off a lana del ray tweet (here) and used her in a level 20 one shot in which she had a 23 ac.
- made a character entirely based on the phrase “manic pixie dream girl” however, replacing “manic” with panic. (she’s a bard/rogue multiclass w/ anxiety)
- made an elk totem barbarian solely because i wanted a character that “would run around naked in the woods screaming”
- made a dwarf-sized aasimar just because someone said “that’s cursed, you can’t do it” (her name is eulalia and she is also an ode to my absolute rage that is the disaster of the stormherald barbarian class)
- clementine my oath of ancients dryad paladin who i made entirely because i wanted a farmer paladin.
- a level 20 air djinni wizard who is a storekeeper who keeps all of her items in the vast demiplane that is her trench coat and really comes off just as a back alley magic item dealer. bonus: her actual store is modeled after a flordia gift shop
- a 60ish year old shadar-kai monk for a prison break one shot that was imprisoned because she punched a rich noble’s son and ruined her father’s business deal. so, as one does, her parents sent her to max security prison as a time out.
- a capitalist toddler dwarf that is obsessed with fantasy france and left her nice mansion to go live in a masoleum with a lava monster (genasi).
- this one’s still on my concept list and all it says is “river bitch” but go off
- a VERY SERIOUS campaign npc whose name is “leifwyn” and it’s pronounced “life-win”. his life is not a life win.
- a tropical wizard whose familiar is a seagull.
- a dramatic winged tiefling with a wingspan of 30 ft and 2 foot tall kudu horns. He has a hard time navigating town.
- a kobold rogue/warlock. the only reason i have a kobold character is solely because i find the racial trait “grovel and beg” to be utterly hilarious
