[QUOTE="DigitalCreepshowCalliope, post: 9546933, member: 7049232"] Howdy folks, long time lurker, first time poster. I’m currently almost done with the first act of Digging for Lies and we are having a great time! My goal with every character is to connect them to existing characters or plot threads from the main story. Here’s the squad and their plot stuff. Ophelia Dawkins: Half-Elf Mystic. A member of the Vekeshi Mystics. Morris Dawkins is her father, who she thinks hates mystics, including her deceased mother. I’m wondering how to have Dawkins/The Stag be more prominent outside of the reveal in the epilogue. Ophelia is also very gay and will flirt with every woman she sees. Will she find a love interest? Who knows? Rosa Roseillini: Fire Genasi Gunsmith: Created from the effects of the Great Malice, Rosa lives in a weird Wild West fallout ass place in the Malice Lands. She also loves to collect weird guns and jojo’s bizarre adventures like contraptions. I will probably have stuff with her on the train in chapter 4. Clover Klee: Human Skyseer. Son of a trader family from Drakr whose parents were killed by Grandis Komanov and her cult. Is a big capitalist boy who has a weird almost homoerotic relationship with Benedict Pemberton and hates Lorcan Kell for moral reasons (and also because Kell frequently goes after his Skyseer mentor) Also a descendant of Amielle Latimer to offer some fun interactions when she returns. (This has nothing to do with Clover but his player knows that Harkover Lee is a dragon purely because he used the fact that Lee will be automatically teleported to his lair upon ‘death’ in Bonds of Forced Faith, so he rode a stone column like a surfboard, crushing the witch and her cauldron in one fell swoop and it was so cool I felt I had to reward him somehow) Sol Machiavelli: Tabaxi Eschatalogist. A member of Grandis Komanov’s cult. (We love party discourse!) Also he’s the Ragman because his player keeps having to miss sessions and the party really wants the Ragman to be relevant. No idea what we’ll do with it but it’s funny. Johnny ‘Bravo’: Human Docker. Half Risurian, Half Danoran whose parents were kidnapped by Leone Quital on the orders of Han Jierre (presumably on account of some melodramatic love triangle naughty word but I’m not sure) He thus hates both men with a burning passion. Also hates Lorcan Kell to a lesser degree on account of his treatment of Dockers. Sitcom-ass rivalry with Rock Rackus. Will probably be my monarch candidate come chapter 9. We accidentally made a character in Roll20 named Uvuto Jabop who we grew incredibly attached to. His current lore is a butcher/nigh club owner who is friends with Johnny. But I kinda want to make him Han Jierre’s brother. (as in Luc & Lya’s father) Lukas Arkylas: Human(?) Spirit Medium. Best friend of William Miller and Kasavarina, who fought the clergy as they tried to find a cure for Lukas’ sick daughter. After inadvertently causing the Great Malice, Lukas killed his Eladrin wife and daughter in a fit of psychosis and attempted to hang himself from the guilt, before finding he was immortal (his neck is permanently broken) eventually ‘Liam’ now Nicodemus, met up with him and urged him to continue their ‘pilgrimage’.

It’ll be entirely be based on what Lukas thinks will be better redemption. That’s my team of weirdos! I hope you enjoy them and if you have any ideas of where to take these plots do tell! [/QUOTE]
