Here's my DnD character! Amaryllis, the Necromancer Bard! I'm surprised it's taken me his long to show her to the internet!

Born and raised in a small village in the hills, Amaryllis wasn't like the strongly religious people of her home who worshiped the gods of light. Instead, she spent her days playing her guitar and embracing her passion for music. The gods didn't seem to choose her, no matter how much she prayed, so she figured her god must be of another sort.

One night, while playing her music in the town cemetery, the ground stirred behind each grave. With each strung of her guitar, the dead rose from their resting place and danced along with the mystical song. It wasn't until her song concluded that the dead returned to their eternal slumber. Amaryllis wasn't just a Bard… she was a Necromancer. It was this surprising talent of hers that led her to meet Bert, a talking skull without a skeleton attached.

But all wasn't well in the world. When word spread of an undead army (which Amaryllis had ZERO part in) her village got word of a city in the sky, safe from the zombie hoard. Her mother sent Amaryllis ahead of them, praying she'd make it up safely. The young lady's journey would truly start when she reached Babilea, the city in the sky.

I love the concept of a necromancer bard

Now, I've seen some interpretations of the concept as a cool, elegant victorian-goth vampire-looking guy helping the dead go to the afterlife with a violin and I love that BUT

A chaotic good necromancer bard who makes the dead sing spooky scary skelettons while he plays the kazoo

Bonus point if he's also a horny bard who fucks in graveyards

Jaskier: Geralt, it’s time I told you the truth. I’m a... a necromancer.

Geralt: *hesitates, then hugs him gently* It’s alright. I forgive you for not telling me. Your apprehension was valid.

Jaskier: I would think you’d have noticed, with all the effort I put into raising your spirits.

Geralt:

Jaskier:

Geralt: ... You are unforgiven.

You see me playing a little ditty in the middle of battle and think I'm easy pickings until the souls of the wretched come forth to my tune, like rats to a Pied Piper. They advance on you, adding you to the ranks of the deceased, while I simply smile and continue my melody.

Help I can’t stop making D&D characters: 70s Necromancer bard edition

[alannas-art]

Someday I will play DnD. Someday.

I have this character idea for DnD called Amaryllis Larkspur. She's a necromancer bard who can raise the dead with music! I've never actually played DnD, but I've read a lot of stories from people who do play and it sounds really cool.

This one was a lot of fun to make. I finally figured out how to draw a bunch of grass, and I got to write some funny tombstones! Always happy to make character designs. Amaryllis looks so pretty playing her song!

Character Backstory Idea: Alythana Sarro

There is no tavern or inn in the land that has not heard of the Extraordinary Alythana. She loves visiting taverns not only to perform but to learn all the rumors about the locals.  It's why her hair is so big; it's so full of secrets. After all, nothing gets the creative juices flowing like some good gossip. Born the bastard child of the high elf merchant Vamir Sarro and an unknown human woman, Alythana was dropped on her father's doorstep when she was a newborn.  She grew up in the shadows of her more highly-esteemed half-siblings.  Even still, she developed a love for music and storytelling when she was very little, imagining her mother as a hero like the ones from the old tales. So she began learning how to play music and tell stories at a very early age from a hired tutor.  Alythana always jumped at the chance to hear about incredible adventurers and tales of knights in shining armor. However, when she was 18 years old, a traveling Lord named Aymon Vavyre visited their home and started insulting her mother during dinner.  Aly, not being able to take it for very long, stood up and yelled at him, "YOUR MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER AND YOUR FATHER SMELT OF ELDERBERRIES!" Her father, not wanting to have Lord Vavyre cut ties with him, as his business largely depends on Vavyre's ships, kicked Alythana out. She left with nothing more than the lute her grandfather had left for her and the clothes on her back. Soon after she had left, Alythana found a home with Miravia and The Destiny Top House, a traveling group of performers.  However, she wanted to be able to write about the adventures of her own, so she left the group and started exploring worlds in which she had never experienced before. Although, the tales of her adventures may be embellished just a tad.
