I miss my dnd character. this is where I store the comics I doodle about her (mostly her backstory, but sometimes post-campaign too). Low-effort comics that may or may not be in chronological order.
This post will be pinned, and I will update it as I post to include an approximate chronological order (or at least, divide things into three sections: pre-piracy, piracy, post-campaign).
Trigger warnings: Childhood Emotional Neglect;
Youth Comics (Age 5--12ish)
To be updated
Piracy Comics (Age 12-ish up to 25, but usually preteen/teenager)
To be updated
Post-Campaign (28 and up)
Who Takes Whose Name in the Marriage?
Deah's Backstory
She is a half-elf Swashbuckler Rogue and Hunter Patron Warlock (homebrew subclass). Her Warlock pact is with the God of the Hunt, and she picked it up partway through the campaign.
She had a twin brother, Cynmar, and they were orphaned at age 10 when their parents died to a plague. They got by as petty thieves for a few years, with Deah sneaking and thieving while her brother ran distraction, before trying to steal from the wrong man, a pirate captain who, instead of punishing them, invited them to his crew. They lived as pirates for over ten years, before a mutiny threw them overboard and they found themselves at the start of the campaign.
As an adult Player Character, Deah could come off as cold and abrasive, and sarcastic too. She definitely has a resting bitch face. But shes also fiercely protective of those she cares about, and at her heart isn't a bad person. As a pirate she had a code, including not killing people who did not fight back, and cleaning up after your own mess. She's a fairly private person, with a slight paranoia streak, incredible stealth, and severe abandonment issues.
Her big secret that she never told anyone is that at age 5, she learned her mother did not love her (and her father too weak willed to support her). Additionally, when her parents died, her mother actually survived and ran away. She upheld to everyone, including her twin, that both parents were dead. She kept the majority of her emotions bottled up inside, except for a feral anger that lashed out.
That's probably about as much context as you need to get started.
Deah never loved her birth surname, as every single one of her blood relatives let her down. She took “Blackheart” for a while to honor her sea captain, but the thought of joining Maddie’s family in name also... 🥺
