I'm the proud DM of a campaign that's been ongoing for the past 2 years and lemme say that characters we've got are a chaotic mess (I wouldn't have it any other way.)
First off, we got a marionette doll falsely accused of a crime against the gods and gifted to a time demon! Now she's got amnesia and explores the world with a childlike wonder. All while trying to figure out who she is and where she's from. {Fun fact: this character is mute and speaks through a severed warforged head}
Then we have a cleric with daddy-issues! Lol, this is our pseudo-wizard, in love with research and figuring out all the lore and mysteries I have to offer. Their deity is the god of forgotten things so they get visions of things and people who are lost to time and are dedicated to remembering them.
Next up, we *had* a rogue-ish wizard with ties to a mafia family. They were suave as fuck and down to get dirty when it came to interrogations. Once we transitioned out of the underground mountain city that I based off of Las Vegas the player wanted to try smth new.
^^ Said players current character is an old-man adventurer who's trying to get back out there and find his estranged sons. Super dope concept. He's real grumpy and stubborn but goes along with the party just fine (most of the time)
And lastly....another cleric?!?! Jkjk this is my travelling NPC that's been with the party since the beginning. She's devoted to the deity of magic and moons but is grappling with her religion currently due to some past things with her church (my players don't know this yet) long story short they mightttt be looking for her.
{Yeah, that's it for now! We might have another wizard joining the party soon so that will be fun, I would add in lore for what's going on in the campaign but this post is soooo long alr lol}

for my first proper campaign, i played as a dwarf cleric named Kirbo!! she was raised in the holy capital and left for reasons i never fully explored (i was busy with work at the time + the campaign ended early so i couldn't establish much of a backstory).
but at least in the present time, she wears lots of pink and harasses bartenders for obscene amounts of fish oil juice. i hope to revisit her story again some time. :)

With that name, he's a paladin. A paladin I did not create but was cajoled into playing because my DM couldn't take the time to have me make a new character mid-quest (it was either play as Thoromyr or sit out the campaign). How bad could playing a paladin be, really? Just a few games, right?
Yet he lives. Ugh, how I loathe him. I do everything I can to kill him, but he never dies. It is as if the dice gods know what I'm about. I play him like the paladin from Honor Among Thieves, but with a touch of Zap Brannigan from Futurama.
He had a squire named Hamfast, but the poor youth died in a cave far from civilization. Now he has no one to groom him or the horses, listen to his inane ramblings about the tenets of the faith, or fetch the firewood. He is good at screwing up the shady dealings of the thief and mage in the party, which adds a nice character tension. I just wish someone else was playing him!

People in your life who don't pressure you to text or call them all that often and vice verse. Such a relief through the web of constant pressure I feel to keep up with people due to social media. Like nah it's cool if you don't text me that same day, we got lives to live buddy, I'll see ya when I see ya.

Although not horror in it's traditional sense, the dystopic and serious nature of the rules set in this black comedy movie are beyond horrific. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I saw it a couple of weeks ago. It's an insane watch.

(me screaming this heaven sent song at the top of my lungs)
"And I'd give up forever to touch you'
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now"
