alrighty, so, this is not for the campaign i’m building. this is one of my player characters that i didn’t get to use much because that group fell apart. (scheduling is real hard, my dudes. the struggle is real.) she’s a tiefling bard.
this is phelia. she is the only child of lord arxus, a viscount, and was raised with the knowledge that her father would someday marry her off for political gain. this never sat well with her, but she knew it was her duty. fast-learning and clever, phelia had a tongue like a whip and was a quick study. music and storytelling were her specialties, though she was also quite adept at diplomacy and swordplay. she was well-behaved, the picture of nobility, the perfect daughter. and then the day came. her father told her she was to be married, he had promised her hand to an elven earl that she had never met.
she wasn’t ready. so she ran.
she cut her hair and fled from her home. she took a coin purse and a sword, bought herself new clothes, and caught a ride out of town.
her father put out a reward for her return. she was both his child and his most valuable political asset, he wanted her back. as she adventured, she had to avoid suspicion, avoid capture. even her party couldn’t know who she truly was.
(now we get into sideplot i had planned out with the dm but didn’t actually get to have happen.)
eventually, phelia was found out and brought back home. she tried to fight against her father, but in the end, it was her duty to marry the man of his choosing.
still, this wasn’t the end. no, she was to do her duty, marry lord ronan, but the wedding was interrupted. one of the enemies from her time adventuring came bursting in, taking down guard after guard. they knew those little adventurers that had been causing so many issues would be here, easy to take care of. phelia grabbed one of the fallen guards’ swords and engaged. the rest of the party was quick to join, but it was she who got the killing blow.
battered and soaked in blood that was not her own, sword still held firm, phelia stared down her father. she would not marry. not today. not this man. she would choose her own partner. and this was final.
her father could not argue. and so, lord arxus let his daughter go. phelia was free.
because i’m thinking of him now, y’all get to know about my bastard of a character.
so, i made him with no class in mind, he ended up as a bard because he seemed the type.
he is a bard only because he would not be any other class,
fighter, monk, or barbarian? not too keen on fighting, really warlock, paladin, or cleric? bold of you to assume this man has anything but scorn for the gods druid? no respect for nature ranger? he’s not a coward wizard? not a nerd rogue? see ranger sorcerer? maybe but he’s just not the type
so this mans, this bastard, he’s a bard. he’s a bard with the noble background.
now, a lot of folks would ask “hey, pidge, what’s this dude’s backstory? there’s gotta be something juicy in there, right?”
well, usually they’d be right.
not with oliver.
no, his backstory is that he was born into a really rich family, was the only child and got spoiled beyond belief, spent much of his young adulthood drinking and smoking and sleeping with pretty much anyone he deemed beautiful enough. the biggest tragedy of his life was when his body started failing and he started replacing bits and pieces. eventually he decided to just go full skeleton because he was being held together by magic anyway and wanted to show the world how clever he was to evade death.
but pidge, hasn’t he ever been in love? what about his parents? surely he has some sort of depth!
nope. he hasn’t really been in love (i don’t think, i’m giving him a little extra something for this next campaign because my character secret for the last one was revealed at the end) and he wasn’t too distraught when his parents passed because he’s a bastard who cares only about himself. he doesn’t have any real compassion for others, he only helps out of boredom, and is a terrible narcissist. he has one personality trait and that is bastard.
if you wanna know more about my bastard rat man, or any other character i’ve made, please shoot me an ask or a message. i love talking about my idiot children.
hey look, it’s me!

today’s characters are neon and maro, a pair of nonbinary badass npcs in the campaign that i finally started running today.
this is neon. they’re a nymph, dress in all black, can be found in the bar chatting with their friend. they’re an aromantic lesbian who takes no shit and is just generally too cool for everyone. also they wear platform boots that make them like six and a half feet tall, which is only three inches taller than their natural height. sometimes, they can be seen riding around the city on a motorcycle or in the alley having a smoke.
this is maro. they’re neon’s best friend, almost always together, naturally just over six feet tall. maro is a dryad, but their tree is burnt down. they wear all red, also ride a motorcycle, and smoke more than neon does. they’re an ace lesbian of few words and no bullshit. if they like you, they’ll say. if they want you gone, they will tell you to go away. they’re that kinda person.
todays characters are johnny "long dong" silver and dorian brackenborough from my pirate campaign!
so starting with johnny, he is a very charismatic individual, long greying hair and eyes that sparkle with mischief. he's the bosun of the main pirate ship in this campaign. johnny silver is a trans man, the nickname "long dong" referring to his old, frankly huge packer. He has since transitioned with the help of a wizard with true polymorph but the packer still shows up around the ship because some of the crewmates find it funny to just hide it somewhere until someone finds it. "long dong's on the loose" is a phrase heard more often than one might think.
dorian brackenborough is the ship's doctor. he was a medical student when he first met johnny and he fell hard and fast. he's quiet, gentle, not the type for piracy really. still, when johnny asked him if he wanted to join up, he couldn't say no.
johnny and dorian are now together and have been for quite some time. they are still idiots for each other, though. johnny loves to call dorian all sorts of pet names, though darling is a favorite to the point that some folks just call dorian "johnny's darling" or "johnny darling" because it always makes him blush. johnny also, much to dorian's annoyance, has a tendency to hurt himself just for an excuse to see his boyfriend.
anyhow, they are in love and i love them dearly.
