Rilka (릴카)

[Image description: A picture of a halfling sorceror. She has an evil looking grin with smarmy eyebrows, and a long brown braid. She's standing with her hips cocked, with one of her feet resting on it's heel. She has one hand on her hip, and is summoning fire with the other. She’s wearing a burgundy dress with a red jacket over it.]

Introducing Rilka (릴카)

2. if you HAD to choose, who’s your favorite muse?

Rilka, probably. She’s definitely the one I’ve played the most, as she is my d&d character. And she’s so fun to play! She spouts bullshit and has no sense of self preservation, and it’s awesome.(Our party has a Reasonable Face and a Bad Idea Face, and Rilka is the Bad Idea Face.)

3. which muse is the trickiest to get into character for? 

Merathera. Her character is a little vague at the moment,  so it’s often hard to get in character when she has so little.

16. which muse is most willing to fight another muse? 

Rilka is from the setting’s equivalent of Innsmouth, but with less halfling sacrifice. There are entities in the deep, and if you sacrifice a portion of your fishing haul to them, they will return to you an even greater harvest. And if you are particularly faithful, they might fall in love with you and make a family with you. It happens. A significant minority of the town are Aberrant bloodline sorceror’s because of this.

Due to her upbringing, Rilka is constantly surprised how few people are sorcerors. Even in her town, she was unusually good, but a third of people could cast cantrips. And outside of that town, it’s even less than that? It sounds fake to her.

She is Chaotic Good on a Technicallity. She’s the most good member of her party, but that’s not saying much. She doesn’t have a lot of compunctions about working with necromancers, for example, and she’d probably practice necromancy if it weren’t for the fact that position is already filled.

She is fiercely protective of her party, and will choose them over you. Even you, Mr Paladin.

She loves creative uses of cantrips. Whenever faced with a problem, her first thought is ‘what cantrip would solve this?’ She once distracted guards by using mage hand to unbuckle the buckles holding up their armour and pants.

Second only to her love of cantrips, is her love of fire spells. Her signature spell is Flaming Sphere (She’d rather it was Prestidigation, but Flaming Sphere comes up more often.)

She misses the warforged. And Cayden.

She looks halfway between ‘adult halfling’ and ‘human 12 year old.’ Most of the time it is annoying and causes problems, but she does try to take advantage of it sometimes. (She managed to sneak out of building she set on fire by claiming to be the owner’s niece.)

She has no sense of self preservation. She will mouth off to anyone and everyone, especially if they could kill her. She will try and convince them she has the power at the time, even as they are trying to stab her. (She convinces herself. She rarely convinces them.)

“So, sneak in, take the thing, get out? Easy as pie.” Rilka strolled past the mansion with Lavinia, trying to not look like they were casing the joint.

Lavinia glared at her. It was a look she had perfected, expressing “Am I the only intelligent person on this island?” with cold eyes and cocked eyebrows.

“Okay, so not that easy. But we’re adventurers! Stupid and difficult is our job.”

“I call dibs on your corpse.” Lavinia flicked a braid over her shoulder. “Your skeleton will be smarter than you.”
