OC Thread #13

Mary Sue score of 8
>Name
Luvos Nichto
>Role
Planar Diplomat, Demon Enthusiast
>Goals
To remain on the forefront of knowledge, exploration, and change. Luvos is in the process of writing a series of encyclopedias of planar knowledge. To inspire awe and terror in his wizarding peers.
>Traits
Luvos has little respect for conventions. He enjoys the fleeting nature of comprehension and knowledge and more enjoys the hunt for knowledge itself.
>Flaws
In addition to having little respect for tradition, Luvos is known to overlook most moral stipulations of his comrades. He has picked up the habit of introducing himself in fancier and fancier nonsensical titles. He believes he is the smartest person in any room but that everyone seems to know something he doesn't. His attempts at appearing friendly are usually hindered by his creepy mannerisms, lack of social awareness, and the stench of sulphur clinging to his robes.
>Allies
A animated foot stool with the personality of a terrier and a clumsy broomstick.

Luvos has a pet peeve for people who don't pay attention well, his time as a teacher has ingrained this in him. The first time he killed a person was an adventurer who sneaked into his library during the night, Luvos was terrified more than anyone when he woke up to someone ransacking his study, luckily they were a virgin so their death wasn't a total waste and their priceless blood was used as a rare spell ingredient. He was arrested once when the watch found him chatting with a small cabal of demons outside of their town.

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
Bad manners and disrespect toward elders. The latter is borderline zap-worthy.

>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
Defending her household along with her parents and siblings against a rival cabal. It helped that she couldn't tell which men she killed or if she did kill anyone, but it still went down pretty badly and put finding skilled guards on top of her priority list for the journey.

>Has your OC been arrested?
The first town she visited after crossing the border, for disturbing the peace and assault. Self defense again. Luckily the barbarians do believe in fair trials, or at least hearing both sides out. She got out with a small restitutory fee.

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
People complaining on how hard something is
>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
His first kills were against bandits and zombie ogres. He found it rather fun.
>Has your OC been arrested?
Surprisingly no.

>What is your OCs casual clothing like? Formal?
Arallios' wear of all kinds is his double-cloth long sleeved blue shirt and unassuming pants, bottomed off with sturdy but flexible leather boot-shoes. This does not mean he's unknowledgeable in fashion to some extent, it's just most fitting to wear for long periods of travel.
However, as being taught to be battle-ready as often as possible, he always wears his armor either underneath his clothes in the form of his mithril chain shirt, or IS his clothes in the form of his glamour armor, studded leather enchanted to be able to take the appearance of any set of armor or outfit which he also uses to play dress-up during alone time/with the bard. He has yet to reveal this item to anyone else in the party, given it's not really a team-killing secret.
>What is your OCs major malfunction pet peeve?
Don't fuck with the food supply. Tampering with it past how the meal calls it to be prepared is both suspect and a dick move. Got a story on that I'll probably tell later.
Also, respect towards elders, but in the semi-hypocritical way where he wants some respect, being an elf and all usually making him the oldest in the room, or occasionally just doesn't like the guy older than him anyway due to them being an asshole.
>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
Panicked, but in the sense that he had four hunters after him and he couldn't find the time to hide effectively. Turns out when you swing in a panic and accidentally hit the neck instead of his arm like you were aiming for, the guy's friends like you even less until they die too.
>Has your OC been arrested?
Technically, he and the rest of the party were detained by the magical law and order guild after they all popped into town square with a puff of black smoke due to a broken macguffin. It was cleared up quickly enough and it was the start of how we got our Barbarian NPC into the party.

Post results.

I goofed lol.

Not pictured: a kung fu arab with four more swords in a golf bag, ELVES.

Desert version of Charlotte du Beauchamp, the first few arcs of our campaign take place in a heavily Arabian inspired setting (which I didn't know until right before the first game).

I like how this turned out though. If I could make it less metal and more cloth, that'd be good.

fuggin thicc

5/5 would allow to tank

>that expression
"The fuck am I supposed to do with more swords? Can't we kill something non-humanoid so we don't find magic swords for once?"

Not bad. they've improved it a lot.

I already have his mini

...

Yeah they added a shitton of stuff since last I looked.

Can you post a decent pic of it? I always wondered what the quality was like.

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
Freedom of choice. Being possessed gives you an entirely new outlook on freedom of choice and free will.
>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
Upsetting. It was a bandit that was attackign one of the duchy's smaller outlier townships, and sh, alogn with a small band of rookies (i.e. the PC's and a few NPC mooks) were sent to deal with it. She was mostly caster support, distractign illusions and healing, but one got close enough that she had to defend herself.

Her first two full attacks (paired claws) were misses. Then she critted once and hit him with the second attack killing him instantly because the player optimized her for melee; the resultant bloodbath was not as traumatic as the fact that someone had to point out she shouldn't be licking her hands clean.

>Has your OC been arrested?
....not technically. She had to be chained up for a while for her own good, but that passed.

Sorry user I can't find it which is bothering me. I think I might have left it at the DM's house.

I liked how it turned out but I got a bronze mini so facial details didn't really come out.

>www.heroforge.com

Rashad, Posin for the camera.

Better angle

>What is your OCs casual clothing like? Formal?
Dragonscale armor.

Last thread you post a drawing by bigmsaxon with the filename "Charlotte Clothed".
STOP HOLDING OUT ON US MAN

He had expressed in the past not normally working commissions with lewd content, so out of respect for that, I'm not posting it here.

Besides there are a couple of Charlotte lewds already floating around here.

This is fun

Neat! Gonna actually get this one day.

>What is your OCs casual clothing like?
A very 'lived-in' set of militia field clothes, with a studded arming jack replacing an overcoat in cold weather, and infantry stompers that look like they've trod on half the world worn untied and unbuckled. A pouch of a vile smoking blend hangs from his belt next to a guardless single edged sword. And a dagger. There may or may not be a brace of pistols and the accompanying bandolier as well. You never know.

>Formal?
His wife picked those, so they're detestably fashionable, furs and silks and jewels. Royal-audience-fashionable. Just get him out of them. Now. How do you even fight in this bloody thing?
What do you mean you don't? There's ALWAYS a god damned fight and you know it.

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
Shunting responsibility. It's not only terrible form, it's a fucking sin. Now go do what you're supposed to do.

>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
In a jousting accident. It didn't go down very well with him, but the fencing master helped. To this day he's very careful about the use of weapons and responding to challenges, though in his typical offhand fashion he uses practice swords, fists, and blunt lances in duels, even against lethal weapons.

>Has your OC been arrested?
A few times in the bad old days, mostly for unlawful duels and one case of indiscrection with a baroness. Straightened up since then. Mostly.

Well my party is infested with chaotic characters, and as I mentioned before he parties with Keth () a literal saint. So we argue all the time even over the smallest of decision. Mostly over the Law/Chaos axis, but at time over Good/Evil.

But its not like Zaniel but every law above morale choices. He adheres to the laws of his home nation which is pretty much pre civil war American.
And even then he disacknowledge laws that are ment to harm or oppress civilians. As that runs counter to his ideals of what Law ment for.

Ultimately Zaniel believe Law is meant to protect the people. And he understands that protection has a cost.

>For fun try to remake your OC as best you can:

I tried.

• Name: Isara Sabine
• Role(s): Icy Spellcaster/Debuffs
• Goals: To find the origin of her magical powers and figure out who her birthmother was
• Traits: Has a love of baking and gets excited when others want her to bake something for them
• Flaws: Insecure, very shy, it takes a while for her to come out of her shell
• Allies: Shavi, the Winter Fox. A playful scamp whose outgoing personality conflicts with Isara's introverted personality.
• Enemies: None. Except Frankie, who is her sworn enemy in the kitchen
• Other Relations: Her father, who stayed back in the town she grew up in. She has no idea whether he's still there or not or whether he went out looking for her.
• Physical Description:

Sigmund isn't good at this "high society" thing.

...

I might as well repost Rodrick since he's in the OP

Name: Rodrick Durand
Role(s): First man into battle, last man out of battle, group dad, foxy grandpa
Goals: To die a warrior's death a thousand times in order to finally rest eternally
Traits: Overly fatherly and protective of his teammates, has a pet kitten that he carries around with him that he's nursed back to health. He named the kitten "Melina" after his daughter, who he had to watch grow old and die.
Flaws: His casualness about death causes him to not think before he acts at times, tends to be overprotective of the people he calls his teammates
Allies: Melina the Kitten
Enemies: Witches. He doesn't trust 'em. Or anyone else who fiddles with dark magic for that matter. Birds too, otherwise known as "Natures Assholes".
Other Relations: Many friends he's made over the centuries who he's seen die
Physical Description: A gaunt pale face with an eye patch and a scarf to cover the lower half with a chaimail hood. In towns he wears a full helmet and tells anyone who asks about his pale skin that it's just a skin condition.

Rodrick was a soldier of an ancient civilization who abandoned the battlefield in a war that ultimately led to the destruction of his entire kingdom. While on the run, a powerful witch loyal to the king of their country caught him and damned him for his cowardice, telling him he should have died with honor defending his kingdom then being a worm who lives another day. The witch placed a terrible curse on Rodrick that day, a curse of undeath. Rodrick was doomed to never rest until he would achieve a warrior's death. Not just his own though, but for every man who died on the battlefield that day protecting their nation and ruler. He must die a thousand warrior's deaths before he may know peace, and so far he's only up to 237

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
Birds. He steers clear of them whenever he can. Nasty blighters are always nibbling on him when he's not looking.

>that spoiler

you two are adorable I love it

Luvos now in 3D.

I tried. Not too happy with it. The legs look too small to support his body and the armor options are weird.

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
People commenting on his smell, it began as an in-joke among the party and has grown to be a constant theme almost every session; given his occupation, Sigmund has a smell reminiscent of pine needles and body sweat, and although some people have apparently found it quite pleasant, the party loves to give him crap for it. Needless to say, Sigmund enjoys taking baths whenever he can.

>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
Amazingly, Sigmund hasn't killed a single person since we've started the campaign! We've killed plenty of mutated vampires, a construct Nymph and some possessed giants, but a bonafide flesh-and-blood human being? None, and the last time we were poised to kill some Sigmund chose to run rather than fight.

>Has your OC been arrested?
He was *almost* arrested after the Arcane Inquisition, led by High Inquisitor Helena, ordered the Dusk Hunters to be arrested for possession of magical goods and magical creatures (they weren't wrong, Sigmund's the only non-magical party member.) After a very tense standoff at the Guild Hall in Durengrad, Sigmund and the gang managed to escape the city just as Sulevas (a high-ranking Halfling captain of the Inquisition) revealed himself to be a Demon Prince of Deception, summoning Nagaroth the Red into the city.

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
Thug hates it when smarties talk slow to him.

>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
It was while training for the pits. He didn't directly kill the man but he died from his injuries sustained in the training battle. Thug never liked killing but he knew he had to do it if he wanted to survive.

>Has your OC been arrested?
He's an Orc, you can guess he's been arrested more times than I can count for nothing. A few times they had a valid reason.

Every time I hear more about Sigmund's campaign it sounds better and better.

>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
Oh, that was his first day he saw actual combat back when he was just a human. He was barely a man at the time, and had just a year under his belt as a soldier. While he was on military leave to get some rest he wound up running into some drunken brute tearing up a tavern, naturally Rodrick tried to suppress the man, but it only made the drunk angrier, who then pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the gut. After a short squabble, Rodrick pried the knife from the drunks hands and sank it into his throat. That sharp pain stuck with him though, and he'd remember it for the rest of his life as a soldier. He became paranoid and even a bit panicky whenever he was about to go into battle. Naturally he doesn't feel that way anymore since he doesn't even feel anything.

>Has your OC been arrested?
Surprisingly enough, people aren't keen about arresting the undead. They'd rather just kill them.

Rashad

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?

Buzzkills. I mean, Come on! If you're gonna be wielding a blade, or slinging magic; at the very least play it up a little. Where's the Witty banter? Where's the Special techniques? Where's the pyrotechnics!?

Adventurers of the world: Apply yourselves!

>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
It happened on his first night that Rashad decided to start his vigilantism. It was quick. His opponent wasn't particularly tough nor skilled. He beheaded the man before he so much as started.

He regrets it to this day. He didn't even give him a chance to fire back a curse or even start his monologue. He denied him his role as the villain, and for that he is sorry.

>Has your OC been Arrested?
Yes, but it was only for a night due to it just being a noise complaint.

HeroForge doesn't allow me to add both the mask and the eye patch at the same time.

And here's a young Luvos Nichto when he was just Martin Brightleaf

10/10 would put in the garden.
...so THAT'S why he went evil.

At the heart of every foul and omnipotent sorcerer is a little boy in a gnome hat named Martin.

Behold the shirtless glory of Siykahir!

Magnificent.

Which OC would you like to engage in Jolly Cooperation with?

As Moras, deffo Rodrick for ultimate jolly cooperation as undeads..

Ten and Rashad for ADVENTURE! Also LIGHTNING! Guy could use some special effects.

>What is your OCs major pet peeve?
Uneducated folk trying to talk about the magic mumbo of necromancy, undeath, or anything within her domain. It doesn't work like that, idiots!
Also, anyone who tries to pry at her novels. Some are hella raunchy.
>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
Early on into her work at the cabal she had been assigned to gravedigging (being the now tireless thing she is). A guard spooked her, threatened her, and then tried to kill her upon seeing she was undead. In a mix of adrenaline and fear she beat him to death with her shovel. Since then she's abhored close combat - makes her stomach churn even now - and usually goes for "gentler" deaths of draining life and other things.
>Has your OC been arrested?
No, but it would probably be like says. Most people would sooner smite an undead than put her through fair trial.

I'll be taking some requests later for dynamic poses, since I need to practice them.

I get the feeling Arallios would get along well with Thug, neither of them worry too much about smarting things and are their own masters of improv.

Finally put all the stuff I've written for these threads in one pastebin. Features mostly Luvos and has one story with a few other people's OCs hope you guys enjoy.

pastebin.com/ZBf8sSx7

What character are these answers for?

>Join campaign
>Half the people have backstories that hate nobility and the other half hate the wealthy
>I'm making a wealthy nobleman

First off, how long should I expect to survive?

Secondly, how do you write a noble character without it feeling... Overdone? I'm drawing blanks on how to write this guy beyond "he was the Xth son of [noble title] and has left the estate to gain personal glory and recognition."

Should I make him an exile in a foreign court?

Exile could be neat.

Whoops.

Meant to go with Valaane, who unfortunately I've lost the introduction post for.

tl;dr she's a teenaged undead elf who tries to do good things. tries. people have a hard time calling the weird girl with the ability to call up spooky skeletons good, especially with how much the DM of the game she's from hates undead.

You'd be amazed how underused noble background are.

Most people go for generic middle-class or crushing poverty. It's not often you see an earnest haughty noble.

Sounds pretty cool I hope the DM doesn't give her too hard of a time.

What a qtp2t

Why bother being good if most people assume you're evil, might as well just give them what they want I say.

Ketharuil, goes by Keth.
Currently, he mainly wants to right wrongs, and spread freedom wherever he can. He's considering taking a temporary retirement to raise his daughter.

At the point we are in his campaign, he's already a very accomplished cleric, and was made a saint by his GODDESS, for when he and his friends rooted out corruption buried deep within the church of Pelor. He is virtuous and kind, and has used all his money made adventuring to help the weak and needy, having taken a vow of poverty early on in his life.

He often times will put his beliefs before others, and is quick to argue with those who don't share his beliefs. He also, forgive the pun, acts holier than thou at times.

His family is almost exclusively his parents, as they moved from his racial homeland long ago, but his grandmother would occasionally visit, and tell him stories of his culture. His wife is one of his many adventuring companions.

While he has few enemies beyond the greater scope of evil, he has a large number of allies, first and foremost his party. While he has argued with them on the topics of morality on many occasions, predominantly the LN wizard(who puts law above morality?); since they started their journey, most if not all have turned good. His closest companion besides his wife would be the neutral good former Illithid psion turned half celestial dire polar bear with hero complex.
>What is your OC's casual clothing like? He wears breezy, homemade robes.
>What is your OC's major pet peeve?
Can I say "anything out of the wizard's mouth?"
>What was it like the first time your OC killed a person?
Traumatizing. The target was hardy, and Keth wanted to take him alive. His intention was to use inflict to maybe him surrender. He rolled a crit. And very high damage.
>Has your OC been arrested?
No but he has been given very strict warnings. Almost was while the party was investigating the corruption in the church of Pelor.

Unfortunately, he is despite my efforts to avoid it. Apparently a lot of his NPCs can detect undead (as noted when her other zombie party member spoke up) and other stuff. But, she put effort into learning how to turn evil spells -good-, so that will be neat to flavor out.

You'd make her blush.

Because I'm a contrarian shithead and there's still the possibility she could go evil. It's all meta bullshit trying to make her evil it's stupid

What she believes is the world deserves better with her newly-gained time and abilities. They just need convincing that undead labor is ethical and time-saving.

That's an awfully defeatist attitude, user.

A good deed done only to earn the respect of others is hardly a good deed at all, whereas a good deed done for good itself is noble.

Do not let the opinions of others determine what you believe is right or wrong.

Rodrick would gladly partake in some jolly cooperation with someone in the same boat as him. Doing noble shit to make the world a better place, not for glory, but because it's what should be done.

Well hey let's not knock evil here, we've already accepted that undead labor is cheaper.

Yeah but when you start doing good stuff your inner spirit becomes aligned to the Plane of Goodstuff and the world keeps expecting you to do good stuff, makes evil spells harder, it's just a big hassle man.

Luvos desperately needs a JUST edit.

I don't but, my party goes even further into evils and it's some shaky shit. They're even thinking of following this prophecy on the side of things to make the world worse.

Doesn't sit right with me to watch it but it's two wizards versus one necromancer.

She'd probably cooperate with any undead in the thread (Rodrick or Moros) - maybe even help them with their torment, once she sees past the "undeath is great!" side of things. Because undead gotta stick together, man.

That and maybe Melina would get along with the ghost of her first cat, Kallis.

Would that be an edit of Brendan Fraser dressed as Luvos or a picture of Luvos that looks like the JUST picture.

Prophecies are the tools of cultists, boring people, and snake oil salesmen. I wouldn't worry too much.

Rashad himself is holding auditions for whom he may enjoy Jolly Co-operation. COME! LET US GET TO SOME HEROING!! Rashad will most likely declare his undying love to Ten. But then again he does that to every pretty girl that speaks with him.

Only this time Gramps would hold him to his word. He's the shotgun wedding sort. Well, lightning wedding.

I did Keth.

>Rashad climbs up to a bedchamber window and into the room
>instead of a pretty girl, there's an 8 foot motherfucker that looks like Zeus' angry brother
>WELL, MISTER SHITHEAD

Sounds exactly the reason why most of his relationships last a few hours at best.

Kek. I'm dying.

i would like to request a picture of her in some casual clothing, sitting on top of a stone bridge looking generally relaxed.

for clothing i'm thinking some loose fitting shorts, a very simple baggy shirt, with maybe a few necklaces and bracelets. but if any artist has a better idea i am all for it, i'm don't know what look good.

I think you're looking for the draw thread bro.

I don't know which OC would be 'jolly' about co-operating with Kaiger.

• Name: Edward, Cavalier of the Hammer
• Role(s): Instigator, Dueler, Nationalist Rabble-rouser
• Goals: Become the most powerful warrior in the land, lead a nationalist revolution and overthrow the nobility
• Traits: Opinionated, Nationalist, Energetic, Confident, Strong
• Flaws: Overconfident, Stubborn, Unforgiving
• Allies: The Party
• Enemies: Anyone who challenges him or the party, the Nobility
• Other Relations: Aldrich, Cavalier of the Hammer trained him
• Physical Description: 26 year old human, young but not very attractive, Brown unkempt hair, but cleanly shaven. 5'11". Almost always wearing his armor.

JUST

Shhhh...

I think I broke something.

What have you done, user

Tried to draw something that isn't goofy.

If you go to the past threads through the links in the OP, you can find your info. I think it was in the last thread.

Considering that her grandfather is a Djinn, maybe he'd be okay with Ten being part of a harem?

Bottom left and top right are best harem girls.

Goofy is best

• Name: Sigurd Oskilson
• Role(s): Party tank, damage dealer, merchant and (unofficial) face
• Goals: To make a successful expedition over the Crown of the World, raid the coasts of the Inner Sea and slay a Linnorm in personal combat to secure a crown!
• Traits: Brave, strong, good business sense and has the honor of being the only actual Ulfen party member in the land of Ulfen.
• Flaws: Constantly second guesses himself, is largely ignorant of the customs of people outside merchant ports and has a soft spot for a party member that has gotten him into more trouble than he cares to count.
• Allies:
>Skadi Eiriksdottir - The vicious wolf-girl of the party, Skadi's status as stalwart shield, party beatstick and endless font of energy and spunk cannot be understated. A life-long companion of Sigurd, Skadi's relationship with the Ulfen is as complicated as it is adorable.
>Valka Mjollsdottir - A Huldra of Grungir Forest, Valka's poise and grace belies her expert control over magic. A fae through and through, there is little that goes over her head, and lesser still on matters of tact or wisdom.
>Albrecht Leng - A Chelaxian from the Infernal Empire, Albrecht showed up in Halgrim due to his obsession with all things Ulfen. The de facto party mascot and hopeless Vikingboo, Albrecht's clumsy mannerisms gives way to a man that *really* knows how to swing a scythe.
>Aoi Kuronuma - A Kitsune from distant Tian Xia, Aoi was the runt of a very large litter, and has been something of an adopted little sister to Sigurd ever since they met in Kalsgard. An adorably small little thing, Aoi's competency with exotic Tien blades and illusion magic has earned her the title of Best Girl.

• Enemies: The Sahuagin of the Shackles, the Winter Witches of Irrisen and Fafhneir!
• Other Relations:
>Thea Sondergaard - Boat Captain and party transportation, Thea had journeyed to the Shackles in hopes of finding a ship of her own, so she can better hunt down her werewolf lover and propose.
>Thorkel Vafrison- Sigurd's uncle and merchant of Halgrim, Thorkel's a curmudgeon with a heart of gold.
>White Estrid - the Albino Queen of the Ironbound Islands and employer of the party, White Estrid's progressive policies in her kingdom has turned heads and raised murmurs from more conservative folk on the island.
• Physical Description: The archetypal Ulfen, Sigurd is a tall, burly man with shaggy platinum blonde hair, a luxurious beard and piercing light blue eyes. Ever the one for fashion, Sigurd prides himself on his plethora of beard braids, torcs and rings, all of which was paid for with money gained through raiding.

You're not wrong, nice quads by the way.

concept for a thiefling, I'll probably sculpt of greenstuff if I ever play him again. not too much detail because fuck you it's just a Marquette.
name is Zoltan rabarot
likes poking at things from a far.
uses a glaive because why not.
he meddles with poisons and tricky tricks. not magics.
the extent of his achievements is just about not being killed by the paladin in the group.
high charisma.

tfw I can't afford figures I want to I have to make then \/['_']\/

What is that mini made out of?
