My cloors

6 and 8 are pretty close in tone, but 8 is more dark violet while 6 is like... dark periwinkle? Denim? What do you call that shade?

4 can be lots of different shades of green depending on context, but it's a dark emerald green when put with 6 & 8.

THIS COUNTS AS ENGAGEMENT

1. What influenced or inspired the creation of this character?

My friend Harrison has a character named Sigrun whose meta-plot involves finding out that she’s not actually a dwarf, but instead is a changeling who is eventually going to mature into a horrible monstrous hag, and is trying to deal with that.  At character creation, she was listed as Chaotic Good, but at some point Harrison messaged me saying he was thinking of changing that because he thought she might actually be Neutral Good, and what did I think?

And I said, well, when she gets the news “you are fated to become an evil monster thing,” is she more upset about the “fated” bit or about the “evil monster” bit?  

And he said HUH.

INTERESTING.

And he thought, probably the evil thing is more upsetting for her, so he made her Neutral Good.

So Elisheva came out of me thinking about what a character that had the other answer would look like.  She’s much, much more committed to the Chaotic than she is to the Good, but she’s going to be a HERO, dammit, because fate is telling her she can’t and FUCK THAT. 

She’s basically the “screw destiny” speech from Angel incarnate. (”Nothing’s inevitable as long as you stand up, look it in the eye, and say ‘You’re evitable!'”)

5.  What creature would they like to have as a pet?

She’d love a dog, especially a big hunting hound.

Fairy- What is something that you get excited about?

Hanging out with my friends! whether that means playing games with em because they live on the other side of the country or going out to dinner with em

Elf- What are you proud of?

...Not a whole lot, honestly. I don’t do much TO be proud of.

Goblin- What makes you happy? 

lasagna

Siren- Favorite color?

PURPLE

Magic Healer- Any pets? If so, what are they?

i uh

2)  Elyss.  Best water gorl

9)  The characters - both PCs and making NPCs.  Every so often everything gets So Good and you enter that D&D zen and you’re so completely immersed in the world.  Also can never go wrong with FEELINGS and those very good moments.  Can never go wrong with good worldbuilding, but worlds feel hollow without charming and diverse characters to populate them with.

21)  Jermaine had to fight against his old mercenary band whose leader was under the thrall of a beholder (and was previously dead to boot!).  I, as a player, completely forgot I had a bottle from Mount Celestia that could purify a soul from waaaaay back in session one until AFTER the moment had passed, so I used it on another member of my old mercenary band that may/may not have also been under the beholder’s influence.  Just a weird character moment that was clearly me as a player going “oh shit I forgot this until just now” and trying to make up for it.

26)  In my campaign, the party perished at the hands of a newly born lich, and through the intervention of some deities of death, ended up alive(?) in the Shadowfell.  A secret society in Evernight was led by a high level gnome druid that knew plane shift, but because the party is a bunch of Goody Good Goods ended up making a handful of friends that they wanted to rescue from this plane of existence.  That number exceeded the maximum number that could be sent in a single plane shift, and with a powerful adversary currently bearing down on them, the party had to make a decision of who would fight and likely perish alongside the remaining members of this secret society and who would flee to the material plane.  We did this in person, and with the addition of some friends who weren’t involved in the campaign, formed a ring of 9 people.  As the party (and the fill-ins) held hands, I counted off the number of people traveling via this spell aloud.  “1.  2.  3.” all the way up to 8, whereupon I immediately gave a flowery description of the spell taking place as the party shifted through the astral plane and finally returned home.  For those curious, the plane shifters, in addition to the caster, were:

1 - 4 -  The party

5 - A 17 year old druid initiate of this secret society that was born and raised in the shadowfell and had never seen the sun.  

6 - A boar

7 - A 6 year old child that they legally purchased during the Festival of the Dead

8 - A nearly mortally wounded captain of the secret society, who had just recently died the day before and was reincarnated from a human to a halfling.

They didn’t take Jeff though.  Fucking Jeff.

your insight on the third point is good and probably true but personally I’m fond of the idea that barry just has some hair in a locket because he’s a giant romantic dweeb
