For the OC ask: 2, 5, and 6 for Nemeia?
2. What role would your OC fill in a friend group?
Well, if we're talking the Tadpoled crew, they're definitely the leader, although it's a bit of a reluctant role. Nemeia didn't really want to take charge of everyone, but when their group was so dysfunctional, they didn't really have a choice but to be the leader of a group. It's also easy to argue that they're the 'mom friend'. They're always the one reminding people to eat or to do what they need to, making sure their friends take breaks when they need to, even if they aren't the best at that themselves.
5. What’s one hill your OC will die on (anything from a guiding moral position to a strong opinion about combining mint and chocolate)?
Ohhh, hmm. If we're going moral position, it's probably that all children deserve a good home and food on the table. If they had the space and the gold, they would absolutely create a safe home and place for all children they could find, taking them in off the streets and giving them a home.
If we're going a little bit more lighthearted, then they're big on the idea that seafood is disgusting and they'd rather choke than eat fish. They hate the way it smells, and it was one of the only things they could get reliably while they were on the streets as a child so they tolerated it, but now they are so sick of it. They'll eat literally anything else but seafood.
6. How did you choose your OC’s name?
Well, Nemeia was my first ever D&D character, and back then they were pretty different. They're whole story was that they were traveling with the rest of the players, trying to earn their trust only to turn the party in to the person who owned their life (Kind of think Meg and Hades from Hercules) but they were a barbarian at the time. I really should have gone with Warlock, it fit them even back then. But I tried to pick a name that could hint at maybe the fact that they weren't exactly as trustworthy as they appeared and when looking up common Tiefling names, Nemeia stuck out for how it made me think of Nemesis. So that's how they earned their name, even if it doesn't fit them anyore.
