at least, my RPG characters. Well, the ones I love to play the most.
Sparky, the Kender Sorcerer (originally DnD 3.5): my first character, Sparky Catt is a kender that was raised by humans after being found floating in the river. She has memory problems, suspected from hitting her head while in the river as a babe.
She… she managed to find a portion of the Deck of Many Things and level up a couple times beyond the rest of the party. She is said to be “a great smitter of justice” which is hilarious cause kenders are chaotic. I’ve ported her to Pathfinder and 5e games.
(general hiatus)
Fluffy, the snowman Paladin (a la Marshmallow from Frozen). We have a Disney Frozen 5e game. Fluffy is one of the baby snowman from Spring Fever. She uses whatever pronouns, because “water is fluid”, and her war cry is “FOR MOMMY!!!” The party had a discussion at one point on whether Fluffy counts as a princess (it was decided that no, while recognized as creations/children of Elsa, the snow constructs are not in line for the throne, and thus are not royalty). When our usual Party Face is not there, FLUFFY is the Face of the party. And she… doesn’t quite understand how money works.
(general hiatus)
Orsolya “Ula” Dovkin is… a bear. An albino Asian Black Bear, specifically. This is what our group calls the Eshia campaign, a complete 5e homebrew that’s anthropomorphic. So yeah, albino black bear fighter. Who was raised by elephant monks and is actually kinda smart, yet has yet to clue in that she’s a Prophet (everyone else knows; she has monks and priests following her around, but nope, doesn’t notice). Also, she LOVES noodles.
(and yes, I did name her “bear” multiple times)
(general hiatus)
Cordelia Clanofnone, esq, Tempest Cleric and Champion of Kord. So, she’s my first character for “the evil campaign”. I was literally asked to join the game the night before because they needed a tank/healer to keep the sorcerer alive. So I threw Cordelia together.
She’s a hill dwarf who grew up in an orphanage (… are you seeing a trend?) who then ran off to become a sailor and see the world. And then Kord was like “hey, I want you to be my cleric,” and she was “ah FUCK!!!”
She and Kord have an interesting relationship. and she’s a terrible cleric. But somehow is his champion. she hates it.
(retired)
Janna Howard, necromancer of little infamy. My second character for the evil campaign. We got a few more tank characters into the game, so my DM let me pull Cordelia out and bring in Janna.
Janna is inspired by Johannes Cabal, a character and series by Jonathan L Howard. She’s an aasimar who was SUPPOSED to become a cleric, but decided to write a thesis instead. And murder her way to her research materials.
Janna does things like burn down fake libraries, summon Orcus to call him a bitch, murder whole cults (for their books), steal from incubi, and trap her angelic guide into an amulet. She may or may not have accidentally endeared herself to Lolth. Most of the time I play her, I’m sipping tea and making judgmental comments in my notebook.
(hiatus due to baby)
Feri identifies as a Murder Cupcake. She’s my current Vampire the Masquerade LARP character (Sabbat setting). She’s a Brujah brawler with amnesia, whose memory starts ~100 years ago and doesn’t remember being human at all. She’s strong, she’s sweet and social, and she’s not very smart. However, she’s literally walked across an underworld (sort of, she was carried for a bit) and back into the material plane. Her interests are pretty pink (lolita) dresses, and M U R D E R.
Her current pack is Les Fées Vertes, which is… mostly Toreador, so it’s very pretty. For a while, Feri was the only girl, so I joked that she had a boy band. Hm, and Feri tends to assign a familial relationship title to packmates and… pretty much everyone who isn’t “meat.”
(pandemic hiatus)
Kwami, Lashunta Solarian. Starfinder game. Okay, she doesn’t have much personality. But she’s the only melee fighter in a party of ranged fighters and spellcasters, so she’s fun. Also, she’s a solarian, so she gets a star sword :)
(general hiatus)
MYSELF. We’re playing an isekai version of Curse of Strahd. So, we’re basing our initial class and race on one of those personality quizzes. We point-bought our status “so the module has a chance to kill us.”
We have made. So. Many. Jokes.
Including the fact that we’re mostly spellcasters wielding staffs, so we should challenge Strahd to Quidditch.
*I* am playing a Divine Soul Human (variant) Sorcerer/Paladin. And like most of our party, I’m Chaotic Good. Yes, I’ve almost died several times. Usually my own fault. There were shinies.
