 And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting

A little illustration I did for my DMPC for CoS; His name is Krystofor and he's a warlock and... that's pretty much all I can say without spoiling stuff for my player lmao

Mine and my boyfriend's Curse of Strahd ocs but in a modern au :D

Hey I just thought I would type up my various RPG characters over the years.  These are just the characters I have played, a few are GMPCs.  I was still learning how to be a game master and I don’t recommend making GMPCs.  

Torn (He/Him):  My very first character ever made.  An Elf Fighter in Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 and named after the resistance character with face tattoos from Jak 2.  I originally planned to make him a druid but when I found out that D&D druids play nothing like Diablo 2 druids I changed my mind.  Honestly I don’t remember too much about him.  None of our characters had backstories and we only played a few sessions after school before the DM killed all of our characters.  I remember he was cautious and wanted to take things slowly.  He wore scale mail and had multiple swords.

Ultorn [Yule-Torn] (He/Him):  Ultorn was a Dragoon Fighter, a homebrewed half dragon race I found online.  Unfortunately I was a new DM and he was a DMPC.  Same level as the rest of the party but definitely over powered and more central to the campaign.  He had a full dragon half sibling but the campaign fizzled out before we could explore anything more.  He was more of a boisterous and in your face fighter, he didn’t take things cautiously.

Petra [Peh-Trah] the Hand  (He/Him/It/Its):  Petra was my other GMPC in my first Pathfinder campaign.  Petra was an undead right hand of a paladin named Petra.  It could project a ghostly humanoid form that looked like how Petra looked in life.  He was not like a level 20+ GMPC but he was still a few levels higher and did some helping out in combat.  I later transitioned him into a background NPC who wouldn’t directly help the party but would still occasionally pop in to say hi or be supportive in some non-combat way. 

Tryla [Tree-lah] (She/Her):  Ahhhhh My Tiefling paladin with daddy issues and my first 5e DnD character.  Daughter of a high ranking devil or demon to lead their armies on the material plane.  Mother was a cultist who worshiped Tryla’s dad.  Mom wants the three to be a happy family.  Tryla did everything to spite her dad.  Left the cult, became a paladin, refused to be romantic or sexual with anyone, and became a vegetarian.  

Jhessail [Jess-say-el] Tallstag (All Pronouns):  Jhessail Tallstag Kowalski Von Ebonwood III was a noble’s half orc child.  When his father’s human wife had an actual heir so she started trying to assassinate them.  They were sent away to learn magic from a plane jumping conjuration wizard.  This wizard picked up some chronomancy from Exandria and taught it to me.  I liked him as a character but I eventually retired her for two main reasons.  First, their backstory didn’t come in a whole lot and was kinda disregarded when brought up.  Second, DnD 5e’s magic system sucks ass.  I don’t like it and it made things such a slog.  Jhessail was retired after the first campaign arc.

The Blind Barbarian (She/Her):  AKA, Scarlett Paradox as named by the rest of her party.  An amnesiac blind barbarian/paladin aasimar.  I made this character because I found out that if a character is blinded and they have the alert feat then no one can attack them at advantage.  The extra was just flavor, also I gave her amnesia because I didn’t want to write a backstory.  I was kinda disappointed with this character… I wanted a specific homebrew subclass from the DM but he insisted on giving me one I didn’t want.  During a fight with a kraken while at sea Scarlett jumped on its face to stab the thing in the eye.  Some poison was applied and I wasn’t allowed to make a saving throw against the poison so she ended up dying in the kraken’s mouth as it dived.  I miss this character, I know that jumping on the kraken’s face was a stupid idea but I still think I should have been allowed to make a saving throw against the poison, no matter how powerful it was.

Tonee Stanky [Tony Stank-ee] (They/Them):  A gnome artificer armorer inspired by Iron Man/Robert Downey Jr.  I thought the ending scene of Civil War where Stan Lee called him “Tony Stank” was a great name.  Also that RDJ wears high heeled shoes when on set with the Chris’s since he’s shorter than them.  I worked it out with the DM that Tonee was size small when out of armor but medium when in his armored suit.  It’s just for flavor but it’s fun.  They had an unhealthy amount of knowledge and wanted to learn more and more about technology and magic to empower their armor.  This character only lasted three sessions like Scarlett but it was because I had to leave the campaign to do a class.  Unfortunately, the campaign fizzled out long before my classes ended so I was never able to rejoin.    

Hakuna Moonlight (He/Him/They/Them):  The biggest mess of a character I ever made.  Leonin Werewolf Bloodhunter Barbarian and Rogue.  He travelled through multiple planes and worlds so while his backstory is from Theros and Exandria, they have travelled around multiple worlds and was made to join any campaign anywhere.  I played Hakuna until the end of the second arc of the campaign Jhessail and Scarlett were in.  Then they were retired as I started GMing that group.  I later joined another group and brought Hakuna in for a while but he was min/maxed for a more powerful campaign so I retired him from the new one because I felt like he was taking the spotlight from the rest of the party.  

Bethica Bones (She/Her):  The first, non-fantasy character.  Bethica Bones was created for a series of superhero system games.  Inspired by Jessica Jones but with the power to manipulate her skeleton into armor, weapons, and tools.  I only got to play her once in a Rotted Capes game but I hope I get to play her again soon.  I really really like this character and her concept.

About: I'm interested in becoming a DM, but we already have a light hearted adventure DM. So i have decided to try being the dramatic/serious/horror DM. I know that's a long shot for me, but i want to try.

"Fountain what does that have to do with Saga?"

The table I'm in has players who don't vibe with stressful stories, so i was inspired by Unico the Unicorn from Sanrio (give him more merch). Saga is kind of a DMPC to ease the mood, and possibly make games easier if the table needs it.

Saga is also a very cute Puppycorn, and very cuddly so they can be an emotional support party pet too.

Plus they come with their own overarching plot as a bonus feature that can be a subplot over many games I DM if the players want.
