Violet Sindarin:
3. What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?
I'm not 100 percent sure because it was so long ago but I believe violet was made class first. I believe for my first actual dnd character in 2019 i chose eldritch knight fighter because the martial/spellcasting balance seemed attainable but not boring.
7. What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?
Everything for Violet is duality, she has two different color eyes one green with flecks of gold and one a muted purple. And i think that's so stupid and goofy and i love
8. What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting
Aight i get it is she 1. a woman and 2. Ace before i was out as either? maybe. whos to say.
11. Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?
Uhhhhh idk about physically, her actual physique is based on i think a bulgarian olympic shotputter? i think
but thematically/narratively? my roommate (who was also in this dnd game) and i told each other about our theoretical ideas about what our characters would do after the campaign if they survived and i told him my idea sososoo importantly maybe a month or two before the first volume of Frieren was released. Anyways yes frieren
Professor Litanee:
1. What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?
So the idea of the character originated from me wanting to make a professor character in DnD who was not really a practice of magic and was like a theoretical physicist of magic.
BUT. the name Litanee is originally from a homebrew magic item, Litanee's Laboratory Lenses, that sort of created a scientist npc in a different dnd game i was dming
11. Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?
12. Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?
You were there when i made it. Music to become a mad scientist to. Lots of videogame soundtracks, like a plague tale and metro, and then ave maria
16 Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?
the tides of Korrushal are receding (the above playlist's name and thing i mumble when anything remotely bad is about to happen)
2. How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)
the final version? like. a couple months of tumbling over him
but recognizable? minutes. The bulk of the character was made in one sitting and then it was a lot of just. small ideas and narrative experiences being built on over time
13. Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?
well he's a french mouse living in victorian london. so. no idea
14. Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?
"Now this is going to hurt a lot. But I promise you this. When you pass out from the pain, I will wake you up so you can feel every moment of it"
18. Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?
He's got so many dead family members oh my god. his family tree is fucked. His dad died in a workhouse fire, his little brother got tuberculosis, his mom got tuberculosis taking care of his little brother, His brother dies in an explosion when they're older. like he and his older sister are all that's left.
he has lots of friends and contacts gained and lost through his life from many different social circles too. From being a street kid, to a properly educated surgeon, to a gang member, to street doc for the poor and needy he has been a lot of places and has connections with so many people good and bad.
