Hey! I’ve been very dead but it’s because I’ve been putting my heart and soul into this animated short film! Please go support it I’ll love you forever!!!! They’re gay!!!!!!!
Edit I forgot to add the link I’m so dumb-
You can choose the gender of your love interest and you can also choose to romance any of them regardless of your MC’s gender
Sigurd/Sif “The Young Wolf”- Your spouse and the future Jarl of the Wolf Clan. S is also the leader of ‘The Sea Serpent’ ship crew. A formidable warrior. It was S who lead the attack to your settlement. Though appearing loud with people, they appear stoic and reserve with you. Like everyone in the Clan, S is very mistrustful of you.
Baldr/Brigida “The Second in Command” - B is the second in command of the ‘Sea Serpent’. They’re also a ward of Jarl Frode. Unlike your spouse, B seems gentle and kind. B is one of the few friendly faces in the Clan. Of course, a genuine friend is hard to find among a sea of enemies but is there perhaps something else to that kindness?
Aleifr/Aslaug “The Childhood Friend” - A had been a childhood friend who had little interest in swordfights and instead prefers the arts. It was only after you were forced into marriage that your gentle friend had changed to a brash, reckless warrior. A would do all they can to get you back in the Bear Clan.
Osric /Ophelia “The Saxon Cartographer” - O is a Saxon and a former slave before they raise their ranks and finally became S’s crew as a cartographer. O may have raise in ranks but the fact remains that they’re a Saxon; an outsider. A fact it seems, that O tries hard to forget despite the fact that a part of them misses their home.
Neferkare/Nefertari “The Egyptian Wanderer” - N is the mysterious Egyptian who stays in the Seer’s hut. No one in the village knew why N is in the village aside perhaps from the Seer herself. N had never been interested in the raids or the inner workings of politics. They would often be seen walking around the village; fishing or hunting
How old are the From the Ashes ROs, the MC, and Einarr?
Hello anon!
Actually, I never did bother specifying the characters age so players are very welcome to head canon the exact age themselves if they want to. Bear in mind that the age is more of an estimate except Einarr.
MC’s age would be around early 20′s. And since they’re the youngest of Jarl Agnar’s children, Agnar didn’t really bother making any political wedding arrangements for MC. Meaning, if Agnar was still alive, MC could have married anyone they wanted to for love... or not at all if that’s what MC wants.
Sigurd/Sif are late 20s (almost on their 30′s in fact). When they first married their first spouse, they were in fact the same age as MC.
Baldr/Brigida, Aleifr/Aslaug and Osric/Ophelia are all on their mid 20′s. With B being the oldest of the three.
Neferkare/Nefertari is older than Sigurd/Sif so they would be in their early 30′s.
Einarr is 5 years old. So your MC’s actions whether it’s good or bad can shape Einarr into what kind of person he would be once he becomes Jarl after Sigurd/Sif. That’s all I can say about Einarr since other things may be going to spoiler territory.
Can the MC be a little older since all of the ROs are older than them and it's a little weird being 19-20 while S is over 30? Or could S age be a little younger at least?
Hello anon,
Uhhh.... Not to be rude but I never actually specified the age for the MC and the ROs. Only Einarr. And also, the MC is early 20s which means the age range is 20-23.
Sigurd and Sif is not 30. Early 30 is Neferkare/Nefertari. Sigurd/Sif are late 20s but since late 20’s age range is from 26-29, I specified it to almost 30. Meaning Sigurd/Sif is basically about 28 or 29. And Baldr/Brigida, Aleifr/Aslaug and Osric/ Ophelia are mid 20s which makes them 24-25.
I cannot make them the same age because Einarr is fixed to being 5 years old. Plus, it would be illogical since MC’s oldest sibling is their half brother Bjorn who is the same age as Sigurd/Sif. I don’t see them as being 40 since the title of Jarl wasn’t passed down personally from his father due to the fact that Agnar is killed before Agnar could even do so.
man d&d is so funny sometimes. a quasit lied to my character nef and as punishment for his Crimes nef made him beg for his life before they fully bodied him with a nat 20 and did twice his hp in damage
4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 please!
(questions from here, this is from earlier when i was doing OC asks)
oc page link
4. A character you rarely talk about?
lots of em. hell, i have a ton of OCs that aren't even on my oc page, those are just the ones i'm liable to talk about on here with some regularity. let's see.... oh you know what i could talk about ben. ben's kinda fun. i wrote a little drabble for him once on here and have tagged some posts for him, but i don't think i've ever explained his deal. ben was born as a half-vampire, which to boil down some setting stuff, means that he should have been able to live his whole life more or less normally as a kinda weak sauce vampire. but then he got bit by a werewolf, which should have just bounced right off him but instead fucked up his whole body and now he's this unprecedented half-vampire-half-werewolf. so his whole life is just working around the complications of not fitting into either box. he basically teaches himself alchemy to try to figure out how to fix his whole predicament so he can have a community/family again, but it's not really working out for him. (luckily, his boyfriend is a well established vampire with a large coven and a penchant for adopting strays. don't worry, he turns out just fine.)
5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?
i want everyone to be a fan of eden. if i succeed at anything in this life it would be making people like and be invested in eden basri.
6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?
*wracks my brain* ummm hard to answer! since i'm a writer not a drawer, superficially yes i suppose some of them do "look alike", because descriptions may seem similar. however in my brain, no, they all look at least a little different. if i dug into the archives i could probably pull two out that look similar... rowan and taz could probably pass as brothers? if taz grew out the dyed hair.
8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here!
oh man i suppose i do, don't i. some of my OCs are from D&D, with my current campaign character being neferkare nizam, a tabaxi rogue/wizard. they're the right hand/spymaster to one of three ruling dragons in my husband's custom campaign setting, and they are fiercely loyal and have a really cute slowburn thing going on with their coworker (it's a slowburn not because the guy isn't bought in, but because neferkare is wildly emotionally unavailable because they're so dedicated to their job).
10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design?
answered here!
Ask game: 🍕🧊🙌
(anon clarified separately that i get to pick the character so this is for *spins wheel* neferkare, my tabaxi rogue/wizard for my current d&d campaign!!)
🍕 - What is their favorite food?
we have several animal folk in our d&d party at the moment, so the running joke is that our PCs have the dietary restrictions of their real life animal counterparts. as a tabaxi, nef mostly eats raw meat and drinks plain herbal teas, so expect them to be a weird dinner date. their favourite food was probably like, a cheap cut of something that they ate after being awake for 72 hours working, and despite being mid at best it happened to hit all the pleasure centres of their brain and they reached a higher plane for a minute. like when you accidentally make your cup of tea perfectly exactly once and then never again? it's like that.
🧊 - Is their current design the first one?
yep! i'm more of a writer than an artist, so all of my OCs have a basic design concept that is usually pretty fluid, and i only nail it down if i get around to drawing them. because of that, my OCs never really go through major visual redesigns, unless a large fundamental change has been made to the character overall. nef came fully formed in my head with the same colouring/patterning as an egyptian mau, so they've very small and slender and have all those cute little spots and stripes.
🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?
nef is the runt of their litter and they have 3 older siblings. a sister and 2 brothers.
