Scraping My Face On the Sky

Omg 😳 thank you I'm very flattered (◡‿◡✿)

(this got very long I apologize)

I came up with him a few years ago as DND character idea, but with the whole amnesia thing he really worked best as a level 1. So when our DM announced a level 1 campaign I was Ready For It

He's a half elf, sea elf specifically, hence the fins (and gills!). He's ?? years old? He's obviously unsure, but he's giving "poorly aged 30s" but relative for a half elf's life span, if that makes sense.

Miscellaneous hero forge screenshots (I painted the gills on there)

He has no memories before being overboard in the ocean. He could've been floating out there for days, he's not sure. But a smuggler ship came by and hauled him out (and he like immediately collapsed from exhaustion upon being rescued 🙂‍↕️)

Lucky for him the ship captain was very accommodating and didn't just drop him at the next port to fend for himself. He let Zee stay and learn how to sail and how to hold a sword, and paid him! Like any other deck hand, for his work. Life went on like that for about a month.

Unfortunately things went sideways one day when the ship got attacked by a ghostly ship AND a sea monster and it sunk. The Adventuring Party then washed ashore on Jurassic Fucking Island... (dinosaurs are scary at level 1.) The Good News, we ended up finding the ship captain just in time to save him from an injury. The Bad News, he died several days later while we were trying to run away from a shadow monster. He was hanging back, making sure everyone got out of the room before him, stalling the monster for us. And then when he went down we were just seconds too late to save him... We had a funeral for him. It was heartbreaking.

Zee's perspective on it is "that man saved my life twice over, and now he's dead. Now I can never repay him. I don't know how to live with that-"

But he did inherit the captains cool hat and pistol :) so now he's just like a real pirate~ lol

And the group did eventually get off of Dino Island and are back on their way, sailing towards the capital city of the empire. Zee is hoping he can find someone there who could help him with his head. However he has a growing anxiety about who he might've been before losing his memories. What if he was a bad person? (He was found in shackles...) What there's something he doesn't want to remember?

Fun facts (that shouldn't spoil much, in case my fellow players are looking)

The gills are functional but he hasn't figured that out yet

He keeps randomly shooting off spells during combat without realizing. Nobody has brought this up lol.

He has this tattooed on the back of his shoulder. He obviously doesn't know where he got it or if it means something

He has a woven bracelet with one smooth stone bead tied to his wrist, he does not know where that came from either

He seems to have a tumultuous relationship with food. He has to make his own food (and he's a terrible cook) or else he can't eat. He can't place what he's afraid of exactly

Hates frogs

these two are monopolizing all my brain space atm

any excuse to dress up Lee, im down

Pls fic writers…. If you wanna write a happy ending 👀👀 Bc rn, my pookie Shane is 💀 in this LOL

Build your bag and tag someone idk

Here’s mine x>

Tagging if you wanna play!

tried to get close to the the bag i usually take with me

mine's not exactly a bag like this, its more rounded at the bottom and has a zipper on top and corduroy texture, but still pretty close. also got a live love lurk mothman and ghost patch and a stonehenge plush keychain lol

i was so surprised that they included a guitar tuner!! like yes i always have one just like that for rehearsal

this is cuuuuuuuuute! i can't believe there's no black totebag option, i wanna brag about my tote-convertible-to-backpack setup lol. a lot of the basics aren't there bc they live in my pockets

I tried to get as close to my work bag as I could (which tbh doubles as my dnd bag)

Uh, imagine that's a Norwegian flag not a Swedish flag. Idk the flag options were kinda sparse. Geographically close enough lol

Also not pictured is my 40oz water bottle that goes everywhere with me

Friends, Mutuals, esteemed followers and late night ao3 readers I come you in my hour of need! As some of you are aware my father passed recently and I am now the sole care taker for my disabled mother. Unfortunately when I spent 2 weeks in Maine to help her plan the funeral I was unable to receive any paid time off from my job and I am now caught in the wonderful catch twenty two of needing to move her out so we can sell her house and needing to sell her house so I can afford to move her out!

If you are able to, comfortably, could you please donate to my paypal to help move my mother across country? Thank you ever so kindly if you can <3

Here is my Paypal username, every little bit helps:

Whumptober day 16 - Wound Cleaning (cauterizing counts as cleaning right?)

Whumptober day 4 - Hallucinations

Linni was next to him in bed, alive and sleeping peacefully. He knew she was there, she had to be there. He thought he could still hear her soft breathing next to his head. And yet... he laid there looking in horror at her charred corpse standing over him at the foot of the bed... unmoving. unblinking. The distinct smell of burnt flesh sticking to the back of his throat. Blood rushing in his ears. He couldn't will his arms to move to touch her (the real her), to wake her up to prove this wasn't real.

Whumptober - day 5 - Blood Loss

Whumptober - day 1 - touch starved
