Or alpha church is gandalf the grey and epsilon church is gandalf the white?? And tex as boromir?? Idk I've only watched the first lotr movie once so I have no idea what I'm talking about
I was actually thinking of doing that because it would also fit well with the Pippin/Gandalf, Caboose/Church relationship... And someday soon I swear I'm gonna do a stream of the lotr movies.... when I have time and non-blu ray versions of the movies...
DND CHARACTER BACKSTORY TIME THAT IM PUTTING UNDER A CUT BC IMTOO WORDY FOR MY OWN GOOD (1k+ words lol cries) BUT HEY SO
His name is Armazz and hes a triaxian alchemist…………..
a triaxian, for anyone who’s reading andUnaware [i sure as fuck had never heard of one] is an ALIEN humanoid from theplanet triaxus (I think? One source said that and the other was like WE CANTSAY THE NAME BC COPYRIGHT) that kindalooks like either a furry or bald mix between a human and an elf, but the earsare kinda more big and down rather than skinny and up i guess
winterborns are kinda narrow eyed and havewhite fur and pale bodies [idk if the skin is pale or if theyre just describedthat way bc theyre totally covered in white fur lol]
summerborns are hairless and dark skinnedw/wide eyes
winter and summer lastfor centuries at a time so if ur born during that season u typically die duringthat season and are best adapted for said season. HOWEVER, there are shorter,transitional seasons between the two [btw im getting all this Lore from this page and this page]. a triaxian born during the transitional stagelooks a bit different from their parents and offspring (im guessing they looklike a hybrid between the two lol), and if theyre born during the transitionalperiod between summer/winter, theyre often seen as ill omens because the winteris coming and the time of harvest or w/e is ending yadda yadda blah
some believe them tobe the force that actually bring on the winter, and will attempt to kill thechild. the parents will typically either hide away the child, or also try toTAKE IT OUT…
and this is wherearmazz comes in! he is a transitional triaxian, born to two summerborntriaxians. He has copper skin like a summerborn, but narrow eyes like awinterborn, and a thinner layer of white fur than most winterborns that ispatchy throughout his body. Because of this, his father, along with others fromtheir village, saw him as an ill omen for the winter soon to come, and wishedto slay the baby. Armazz’s mother ran off with him and managed to get away andhide off outside of town. They were later discovered by a summerborn woman andher two children, who had sympathized with armazz’s mother, because she, too,had given birth to a transitional triaxian, but the child had been slain bytheir town, and her husband was murdered while trying to protect the baby. Thewoman accepted armazz and his mother into her home with her two kids (adaughter and younger son- both summerborns), where armazz would remain asecret, seldom leaving the house. They lived in a home on the outskirts of atown that was a fair distance away from both the families’ previous homes.
Over the next fewyears, Armazz’s mother and the lady that took them in grew close and ended upgetting married (or at least were in a relationship together, idk if triaxiansget married but whatever lol). Armazz first learned alchemy from his stepsister(I should really give them names, shouldn’t i). it was nice, but armazz was abit lonely since it wasn’t very safe for him to leave the house. He was also abit quieter and on the tad more serious side, partially due to the winterbornnature in him, and partially because…I imagine it’s a lot weighing on a youngchild/man to know that your existence had you and your mother driven from yourhome and you must spend your entire life in hiding.
When Armazz was about20, however, things took a turn for the worst. Most of the time, armazz stayedindoors, but on occasion, he would work close to the yard or only in the forestnearby when no one else was out. The family didn’t live in the most populatedarea, but they do have a few sparse neighbors. Only a few ever saw him, andwere more good natured (as summerborns tend to be, apparently? Even tho somewant to murder transitional seasoned babies?) and would turn a blind eye ifthey saw the suspicious looking young triaxian leaving the house. Not all wereso kind, though, as someone visiting a neighbor caught a glimps of the patchyfur and narrow eyed young man. Not wanting the town to be cursed with a barrenwinter, the stranger soon spread the word and it wasn’t long before a riot fromthe town was at the door, demanding to take away Armazz. In the struggle and attemptto protect Armazz, his mother was deeply wounded. Not wanting to cause hisfamily any harm or risk their lives (and also to save his own), armazz gave hismother a quick hug (staining his shirt with blood) and ran out into the woods,leading the mob away from the house. He knew returning would only endanger thefamily more, and decided if he were ever to live a somewhat normal life, he hadto leave Triaxus. (I have. No idea. How he leaves the planet or where he is nowbut. Hes gone. Hes elsewhere. Yay armazz.)
It’s been 15 yearssince that day. Armazz now lives… on another planet (we haven’t started thecampaign so idk where he is now lol) and is generally still a hermit as that’s reallythe only lifestyle he knows. He lives, yet again, on the outskirts of a smalltown, but this one he can at least go into without fear of being attacked.Because he’s a transitional triaxian, he’s better suited for adapting seasons(the summerborns are much more suited for hot weather and winterborns thecold), but he wears robes out of habit to hide most of his patchy fur, as thatis what he grew up wearing in attempts to keep himself safe in case an onlookersaw (unfortunately, that clearly didn’t end up working foolproof ;p). for a fewyears, when Armazz first came to… planet…….., he lived near a mysteriousalchemist on the outskirts of… town… who sort of took on Armazz as a bit of anapprentice, teaching him how to adapt around society and a little bit ofalchemy skills to keep from getting rusty. The alchemist was very old, and overtime, disappeared. Perhaps he died, or perhaps he just left. Armazz isn’t toosure, and missed his friend quite a bit for a while. He still practices alchemyon his own to honor/feel connected to his family/step sister back home and theold alchemist. He has no idea if his mother is still alive or how his family isdoing, as he has not seen or heard from them since he left 15 years ago. he metthe alchemist when he first settled on the new planet, the alchemistdisappeared after about 7 years, so it’s been about 8 years since thedisappearance. Alchemy is the only thing that Armazz feels like he has thatconnects him to those he’s loved and he won’t lose :”)
so I’d say I typically see hc them as becoming begrudgingly respecting platonic friends who basically won’t admit they’re friends lol, but the meme also mentions familial relationships and let me tell you, I’m a sucker for plots with fictional families being divided by taking different sides in wars so omg, imagine if those two were estranged family?? not going to become my main headcanon but I still love it as a concept
Ohhh Doc is a sweet doof but I’ll pick our lady and medical saviour Doctor Grey, mad geniuses are always fun and the tragic side of her backstory is just intriguing
