This is unfortunately kinda like asking a mother which of her children is her favorite. Even if she has one, like, she can’t say that. I have an ongoing d&d game right now and I genuinely like all of those characters and am not gonna play favorites.

However! Previous games with people who don’t follow my tumblr are fair game, yeah? So I can say very positive things about my best friend Jon’s characters generally- he always has a strong concept, a backstory with just enough plot hooks and intrigue to be interesting and allow the DM to really build on, and roleplays his interesting characters consistently, cleverly, and compellingly. And that’s really all you can ask as a DM. Any game I’ve run in the past with Jon in it, his character was almost certainly the highlight for me as a DM. 

And so to all my current players- notice how that kinda sounds like all of you?

Anahata, Aasamir Life Cleric Acolyte of Helm of the ‘Lawful Good(?)’ by @deathshead13 @blight-grenade13

I cannot thank Alex enough for another incredible piece of art, this time for my own character in the Storm’s King Thunder game I play in that my fiancee runs for our local gang of geeks that have been roleplaying together for years now, after meeting through Magic: The Gathering at FNM, beginning with Dark Heresy (I shall share Alex’s awesome artworks from that game another time), a tiny bit of Pathfinder, before settling on D&D 5e.

Anahata is such a lovely a devout young lady to the point of naivety and serious anxiety and awkwardness when dealing with the rich and powerful, although she has discovered that she has a penchant for detective work and doing everything she can to keep her allies in ‘The Lawful Good(?)’ on track to avert the disaster  her Deva, Galladia, warned her that this ragtag group are the only ones able to save the world from.

Alignment: Lawful Good God: Helm

Aasimar Protector Cleric Life Domain Acolyte

Age: 20 Height: 6'3" Weight: 185lbs Skin: Olive Middle Eastern 

I imagine Anahata as the combination of looks and build of Brienne of Tarth from ASOIAF/ GOT and Princess Jasmine from Disney’s Aladdin.

Eyes: Silver Green Languages: Common, Celestial, Elven, Dwarven

Helm symbol birthmark on naval  Angelic Guide: Galladia (Kind & Parental)

From: Teziir, Dragon Coast. Grew up in Temple to Helm

My older sister, Camla, who I idolised as a child, died of an influenza not long after I was first cloistered at the temple. My parents and instructors kept this from me for a long time, but as soon as I heard the news I vowed to become a Cleric, stepping away from the path of the Paladin, despite the protestations of my teachers. I retain some of the martial training and use it to defend those with might that I cannot heal with my blessings.

Personality: I can find common ground between the fiercest enemies, empathizing with them and always working toward peace.

Ideal: Aspiration: I seek to prove myself worthy of my God's favor by matching my actions against his teachings, with the dream of one day joining the ranks of the Watchers of the Fallen.

Flaw: My piety sometimes lead me to blindly trust those that profess faith in my God

I was praying in the temple and given my first vision from Galladia, my angelic guide, of a great strife in a land far away, known as the Savage Frontier, that could bring devastation to us all. In the chaos and darkness, there was a small glimmer of light surrounding a party of adventurers and Galladia impressed upon me that I must aid these heroes and ensure their victory. I took mace and shield from the temple’s armoury and left at that moment, without a chance to say goodbye.

Please do! The more interest we show as fans, the more likely they’ll be able to have the spotlight in their own stories.
