This is Uriel Bradshaw, my other precious baby boy. Uriel is Salem's best friend/captain/lover/who even knows at this point. The point is that all they have is each other. Uriel is the one who took care of Salem during his coma and in the recovery period afterward, and even founded a whole ass relief organization for undead to smuggle supplies to him. He is the kindest most gentle guy ever, and he is very good at hiding the constant soul-crushing guilt he is experiencing for getting his entire crew killed and his best friend temporarily killed, permanently mutilated, and possessed. None of that was his fault, of course, but he doesn't see it that way. He may have started as an NPC, but he ended up with just as much personality and backstory as Salem, and will have a similarly sized role in the novelized version of their story.
Uriel was already a human in the campaign so he doesn't get an entirely new form, but I did still make him a pre-Incident™️ design. Nothing too different, since he didn’t get physically changed by it– he just aged a bit, grew out his beard, and started putting his hair up more often so he could lock in.
One last version with the current beard just cause he looks incredible with his hair down. I'm gonna have to save this look for special occasions.
Ok on to other characters– this is Killian Burkhardt, a human tactician (the equivalent of a fighter). He's my current PC, but don't assume that means he has a lot of backstory, I have almost nothing on him. He is a generic 60 year old man with a canonically forgettable face, his go-to fake name is Manfred, and he lowkey never talks but that might just be cause I keep being unmedicated for extended periods of time. His only real personality trait is loving his adopted son, Duraþror (who you should fs attack with him).
This is Brazier Izmark, the equivalent of a tiefling rogue who I will be playing in a homebrew system based on my friend's sci-fi world. He's a space tiefling who has made a name for himself as a master thief who is always causing problems for the government out of spite, having had quite a few issues with them in his childhood.
This is how Brazier looks as an adult, after amassing a giant collection of stolen artifacts and somehow (we'll figure it out in the campaign) getting the government back on his good side and getting them to let him keep his collections. He now owns and operates a museum full of all sorts of interesting artifacts, and continues to make periodic appearances as a local public menace who looks like he's wearing the contents of an entire department store at once. His fashion sense knows no bounds.
Moving on to the few characters I have that are not for dnd– this is Nova, the protagonist of a series of fantasy novels I'm working on (and by working on I mean I've been worldbuilding and outlining for like 5 years and have yet to actually write anything). Nova is a star, a child of the sun and moon goddesses sent to earth to help guide humanity. He doesn't actually know what his specific domain is supposed to be, though, and all the people trying to kill him constantly make it pretty difficult to make time for self-discovery. Not to mention that all stars in history have been born as twins, learning about themselves through each other, and he's an only child. He might be my most tortured oc after Salem, it just doesn't show cause stars have self healing abilities.
This is Everest, another character from the Nova project. They are literally nothing but a design rn. Everest isn't even their actual name, it's just the first placeholder I thought of for a character from a mountainous region. I'll give them a personality someday I promise
And finally, we have Briar Sitis, the source of my username and the only female character I have on af (I know how to write women I promise I'm just transmasc and don't wanna play one). She was originally a tiefling graviturgy wizard with the Volstrucker agent background (yay more Exandria stuff). I actually got to play her for a full campaign, along with my irl brother playing as her brother, so she actually has a good amount of backstory. Long story short, she was targeted by evil wizards at a very vulnerable time in her life– which they had orchestrated, of course– and conscripted into becoming a government assassin. She only broke her free when her brother came back, leading to her finding out that her organization was the reason he had disappeared in the first place.
Briar is now being adapted into an antagonist for the Nova project, hence the human variant. Her backstory will be staying pretty much the same, the main difference is just that instead of trying to defeat Tiamat she's going to be trying to assassinate Nova.
Aaaaaaand that's everyone! Go attack my babies! My artfight user is briar_isaac, and I'm on team tragedy );
