This boy needs to learn how to pass his wisdom saves.

Got a wild hair and sketched up a big moment from my d&d campaign, when he shook off a vampire's charm and debuted Animate Objects.

3. What is their biggest motivator? Honestly? Finding a place he feels comfortable. He’s sort of grown up backpacking around the countryside, finding odd jobs and shelter wherever he can, but never found anywhere he felt safe sticking around for very long.

Also, finding more sick shades.

10. What is their favorite food/kind of food? Whatever he can get his hands on. He’s had to hunt/gather for a lot of his life, so any kind of civilized/farm-raised food is a valuable luxury.

21. Favorite kind of weather? Cool, dry and clear.

28. Are they happy where they are currently? Weeellllll... a whole town is being displaced due to plague (he’s a fan of “let things be” so seeing forced change is rather unpleasant), plus he’s learned something he thought was buried is in fact still around for him to deal with at some point, so.... he’s been better, I guess.

29. Are they a morning person? Not really, but seeing the sunrise can be calming at times.

32. Pet peeves? People who appeal to tradition rather than deal with situations on a case-by-case basis. “Well, we’ve always done it this way!” tends to set him off a bit.  

40. Do they have any scars? I don’t know that he has any real notable ones; with living a century in the wild with little proper medical care for minor cuts, though, he’s probably accumulated a few.

61. When bored, how do they pass time? I think woodcarving. Nothing major like a Magnus Burnsides, just whittling lumps of wood here and there with a knife. He’s recently learned transmutation, so that may lead to some interesting opportunities.

30. Sunrise or sunset? Sunset.

31. Are they more messy or more organized? It would look messy to others, but it’s the sort of thing where he knows where everything is.

32. Pet peeves? Previously answered: People who appeal to tradition rather than deal with situations on a case-by-case basis. “Well, we’ve always done it this way!” tends to set him off a bit.  

33. Do they own any objects of significant personal importance? His OG wizarding staff. He made it himself, and [ERROR: You have not yet purchased the Traxen Backstory DLC!]

34. Least favorite food? He’s probably pretty sick of rat/squirrel/rodent meat in general.

35. Least favorite color? Purple

36. Least favorite smell? Rotting flesh

37. When was the last time they cried? Previously answered: I think he’s mostly aloof about the things that upset him, but a couple times a year he’ll have bad days and kinda just cry it out. I think the last time was a while before the events of the game.

38. Were they with anybody the last time they cried? Nope. He’s a perpetual loner

39. Tell us about one of the times they got injured? He once got in a minor scrap with a roaming thief. He scared him off, but not before getting a fairly deep cut along his left forearm. It’s mostly healed over, not much of a scar, but the muscle aches from time to time.

90. Do they consider themselves attractive? Yep! He’s got a bit of an arrogant streak regarding his wizard skillz, I think that extends to other things, including his looks.

91. What is their sense of humor like? As we’ve seen, absolute memelord, lots of puns.

92. What mood are they most often in? Aloof

93. What kinds of things anger them? People getting their lives disrupted unnecessarily. 

94. Outlook on life? “Leave people to themselves and try not to be a prick, and things will work themselves out. Don’t push your will on others.”

95. What kind of things make them sad/depressed? Thinking of home.

96. What is their greatest weakness?He’s not great at dealing with negative feelings. He’d rather pretend everything’s fine, and kinda bottles stuff up inside.

97. What is the greatest strength? He’s a pretty competent wizard, and it’s mostly come through self learning and meditation/study. 

98. Something that they regret? Well, he [ERROR: You have not yet purchased the Traxen Backstory DLC!]

7. Which of their relationships have impacted them most positively? Probably the whole dynamic with the Chuck Wagon. It’s been a hectic 4 days (can’t believe it’s still that short, so much has happened) but having a large group of people who aren’t looking to take advantage of him, and seem to be reliable friends, is kind of a new thing for him to experience.

17. What are they like when they’re drunk? Definitely the friendly partier type (as we saw in some of the early sessions). Very carefree, but still tries to be decent and not ruin other peoples’ time.

27. Hair color? Naturally a light brown, but at least in the old days he bleached the hair on his head. We’ll see if he can keep that up in the game. His sideburns are still natural, though.

37. When was the last time they cried? Previously answered: I think he’s mostly aloof about the things that upset him, but a couple times a year he’ll have bad days and kinda just cry it out. I think the last time was a while before the events of the game.

47. Are they romantically interested in anyone? I think he’s had flings here and there but no serious interest ever, and nothing really going on at the moment.

57. What D&D alignment are they? True Neutral nominally, though I think leaning towards Neutral Good. He tries to avoid giving a fuck, but sometimes he just can’t help himself.

67. What is their sexuality? I think so far he’s heterosexual; whether that’s conclusive or just because he’s never considered other possibilities remains to be seen. (this is not a sly thing, I honestly haven’t contemplated the romantic/sexual side of his character all that deeply)

77. Favorite insult? Do they insult people often? I think “lich bitch” is his favorite now. He insults people in fights, but tends not to care enough in personal interactions to really bother.

87. What is their age? 175 years biologically, plus however long he was stone-form in the basilisk cave (roughly 400 years).

Totally thought I answered these the other day but here we go!
