PUT HER CANINE TEETH IN THE SIDE OF MY NECK!

Weird

Uncomfortable

Hex Palethorpe, she/her, pan (tag) (playlist) (art via @celestialseamysteries)

Hex began her life in 2018 as my first ever D&D character in the Hotdaga-based campaign Infinite Soup. She was a rogue from the cleverly named planet Mars 2 who spent time as a bounty hunter before her lover, Onyx, was killed in the line of duty on a mission she insisted they take. In an attempt to get enough money to run away from her guilt, she met a member of the adventuring group the Revengers and the plot of the campaign spiraled from there. While with the Revengers, she befriended and fell in love with a woman named Rosette, who was just as doomed as her last lover and who sacrificed herself to ensure the defeat of the big bad. Hex’s planned villain arc was originally dashed when that campaign fizzled, but she returned as a mechanisms oc. After Rosette’s death, Hex left the Revengers and joined up with mafia boss Lady Saturn, but she returned to attempt to exact revenge for Rosette’s death on a member of her old party. This went badly enough that she ended up dead, but Lady Saturn wasn't willing to give her up and had her mechanized, a process which gave her a mechanical eye and guts and made her immortal. Further shenanigans occur from there, including the Starship Caesura, more tragic lovers, and a slow, cold death in the void of space.

Rhiannon Surana, she/her, bisexual (tag on main, tag here) (playlist) (art from @vashothmages)

Rhiannon Surana is my main worldstate's HOF, the main character of Dragon Age Origins. She was a city elf from Denerim who was taken to Kinloch Hold when she was very young. She was also non-speaking, instead communicating through sign language. Rhiannon jumped at a chance to leave the Circle with Jowan and then with Duncan when that plan failed. She simultaneously had the time of her life and a terrible time out of the Circle due to the whole Warden business. I would like to draw attention to the "complicated" with Alistair on her character sheet, which is to say that her and Alistair were very close at the start due to my gameplay fuck ups and also the fact that he was genuinely very nice to her in a way she was not used to it. And this accidentally spiraled into the game thinking they were dating for NEARLY THE ENTIRE GAME and her having to break up with him in the Denerim alienage after Leliana confronted her about the situation in the haunted orphanage. Love triangle of all time. Despite how happy being out of the Circle and experiencing freedom and love for the first time in her life made her, there was still something clawing at Rhiannon's insides that told her that she was fundamentally broken and wrong for being born a mage. So when Morrigan brought the idea of the dark ritual to her, she had a terrible crisis over cursing an innocent child with magic (or something close to it, via old god soul), something that had made her life so difficult and made her feel so terrible. She turned Morrigan down and told no one the option was even on the table and killed the archdemon herself rather than force such responsibility on Alistair. Everyday she makes me so upset.

Be strong Beau!
