I have terrible brain rot from the Eberron campaign I was playing in up until August, so I’ve been making a series of character portraits based around my previous PCs.
Viktoria, also known as Tori. I absolutely adore this character, she serves as the peak of my brainrot. Her story revolved around her relationship to the Silver Flame, to the core principles of redemption and sacrifice, and her own slippery slope to corruption. Starting off as a naive optimist hoping to bring out the best of the people around her, losing her father and the woman she loved sent her on a dark path of pragmatic coldness. Eventually, she would find herself brainwashed by the Shadow in the Flame - but would break out of this for one last stand, ensuring his continued entrapment and redeeming herself in the process. Legitimately cried so much at the end of her story, it was peak storytelling,
It’s been a really fun experiment and really improved my confident in my background work - I’d actually love to do more of these so if you’re interested in something similar, get in touch and we’ll talk prices!
