My D&D OCs

I had fun writing up these descriptions so here, have a look at my TTPRG OCs, both current, one-shot wonders, and emeritus ones. Current Hollyella “Holly” Lightouch • Dungeons and Dragons - Waterdeep Dragon Heist/Curse of Strahd fusion • Chaotic Good • Gnome • She/Her lesbian • 72 • Level 9 trickery cleric of Tymora, is the Waterdeep equivalent of a New Yorker, spent the first decades of her life casually scamming tourists and now is stuck being responsible for her party’s lives, hates Barovia with every fiber of her being and Strahd for cockblocking her upcoming date with the hot leader of a local assassins’ guild. Currently stuck in Castle Ravenloft dealing with a traitor in his household. Yolov • Homebrewed 5E campaign (Astvanor) • Neutral Good • Vedalken • He/Him demisexual disaster • 47 (27 in vedalken years) • Level 12 Order of Scribes wizard whose best friend is his spellbook Es and who is an autistic bundle of anxiety who nevertheless loves magic and his spy/assassin/secret necromancer girlfriend with all his heart. Currently with his friends recovering from rescuing a bunch of prisoners and dealing with the monk’s terrible father. 

One-Shot

Asmund Galamista • Homebrewed 5E campaign (Astvanor) • Lawful Good • Half-High Elf • He/Him bisexual • 77 • Level 15 Oath of Devotion paladin of Rova, the nerdiest paladin people have seen in their lives who is built to take hits for his companions and is devoted to protecting a magical Archive of arcane magic and the people who work there. Survived an invasion of the Archive by a lich despite a non-consensual threeway warding bond between his sorcerer/wizard boyfriend and the lich.

Medanne • Astvanor 5E • Lawful Neutral • High Elf • She/Her pansexual • 412 • Level 1 shadow sorcerer/Level 9 whispers bard, is a former spy and assassin who fought in the resistance during a war for independence that eventually freed Valnore from a centuries-long occupation and will forever dislike and distrust her former occupiers. While she is cheerful and flirtatious with almost everyone she meets, she is also ruthless and calculating and absolutely down for murder and arson when it aligns with her current job and especially if it allows her to get some revenge on behalf of Valnore. Ruvaen Exildor • Astvanor 5E • Lawful Evil • High Half-Elf • They/Them aromantic asexual • 218 • Level 10 necromancer, is an antisocial wizard who said no to death and gender and mostly sexuality, during the session mostly wanted to be left in peace until money and treasure was on the table, helped to fund the founding of Yolov’s wizard college over 700 years ago, may or may not be a lich in the current Astvanor campaign, who’s to say. Elaric Zauett • Astvanor 5E • Lawful Good • Firbolg • He/Him bisexual • Firbolg equivalent of 40 • Level 10 divination wizard, is a recently divorced sad dad of triplets who just wanted to spend a nice weekly dinner with his college friends and fellow dads in their silly ‘secret’ organization to forget that his ex-wife was on her honeymoon and instead got attacked by people who mistook their group for an actual secret organization protecting the world. Somehow not the saddest dad in the group. Vikram 'Vik' Madan • Dungeons and Dragons - Earth AU set Halloween 1999 • Chaotic Neutral • Human (Tabaxi stats for ghost form) • They/Them pansexual • 20 • Level 5 phantom rogue who is obsessed with The X-Files and the supernatural, had the best/worst night of their life when ghosts hijacked their body and the bodies of a couple other party-goers at this college Halloween party and they had to fight to get their bodies back.

Kitris Nimblehand • Dungeons and Dragons - Eberron • Chaotic Neutral • Minotaur • She/Her bisexual • 42 • Level 3 war cleric of the Dark Six, is a former soldier who fully expected to die gloriously in war and then the one hundred year war ended and she found herself adrift in peacetime and looking to cause problems.

Szuil ‘Suze’ Brooker • Dungeons and Dragons - Faerun • Chaotic Good • Human •  She/Her Lesbian • 36 • Level 12 tempest cleric of Valkur who spends almost all of her time on her pirate-hunting ship The Rising Wave as first mate, stepped unhappily on land for a cleric conference and promptly got involved in a little adventure involving an evil necromancer.

Emeritus Aylara Silvergleaming • Dungeons and Dragons - Hoard of the Dragon Queen • Neutral Good • Half-Elf • She/Her aromantic asexual • 31 • Level 3 knowledge cleric of Deneir who decided that keeping all of the tomes locked away at Candlekeep was ridiculous and went on the run with a library wagon before getting involved in stopping a dragon cult, ended the campaign being responsible for a bronze dragon egg that I headcanon she adopted. My first ever D&D character. Zadre • Dungeons and Dragons - The Sunless Citadel • Chaotic Good • Half-Orc • She/Her lesbian • 26 • Level 3 nature cleric of Sylvanus who went out into the world to prove to the other priests that the whole ‘beware of orcs’ tenet of her faith was wrong, then got embroiled in a number of questions where people kept messing around with nature. Tovia • Dungeons and Dragons - Acquisitions Incorporated • Neutral Good • She/Her lesbian Firbolg • 75 • Level 3 life cleric of Chauntea, a farm girl who went to the big city to help make money to save her family’s struggling farm and accidentally fell in with a bunch of con artists and criminals who were slowly being shamed by her belief in their goodness to be better people.

Bridgette Bindane • Dungeons and Dragons - Curse of Strahd • Neutral Good • Human • She/Her lesbian • 29 • Level 4 abjuration wizard, is more curious for her own good and has willingly gone to Barovia in search of a fellow wizard who disappeared with her adventuring party, left the party in search of her missing friend Cinder while judging everyone and everything in Vallaki.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I cannot stress this enought but it is absolutely okay to be wrong about your sexuality. It is perfectly fine to find a label that you think fits and then later figure out that it's not right after all. Idk the age demographic of my followers but if you're like 13 and unsure if you should identify as aro or ace because you feel like you're too young, it's literally fine if you do so now and change your mind about it when you're older. I was convinced I was bisexual for most of my teens and guess what, I was wrong about that. It's literally fine.

Down to the bottom of the deep blue sea Down where your heart beats so slow and you never in your life have felt so free Will you come down there with me? Down where our bodies start to seem like artifacts of some strange dream which afterwards you can't decipher

“I tell them… that all things considered, they deserved a better avenging and foreign god, a better tormentor, a better oblivion, than the one forced upon them. I tell them- I will find a way to give them something better.”

This was supposed to be a full comic depicting the scene however I couldn’t get it to look right so I’ll just post it like this and know I spend multiple tries on a continuation.

Social anxiety has me thinking dumb stuff like “if I go in this store when they’re closing in an hour the employees will hate me and want to kill me” which is especially dumb to think bc I worked retail before, it’s only like the last 20 minute that they want to kill you

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

It's "mne-eeh-t." "Mne-eht" said with that soft tongue on the upper palette French sound or "mee-yet". I put the "n" because the pretty tongue roll on the "y" kinda sounds "n"-like to me.

I've been saying it Mee-yet in my head. Like the French word for "crumb."
