will you pretty please tell us about relent? disabled fantasy characters are just *chef's kiss* - i love the design & want to know more!!!!! hope you're having a peaceful day :0)
Oooh Relent! I've really fallen in love with him lately (and very unexpectedly, as he was initially meant to be less relevant), so here's a few fun facts about him!
Originally was meant to be red herring for The Onirist's identity. Less than 15 minutes into the chat with the DM (before we had even defined stuff like their ancestry), I fell in love irrevocably and ended up being a member of the polycule
I don't get characters to just appear out of thin air that often. However, both Relent and Urion were devised in chats, and even Yxala got very unexpected development, not having planned much for her initially
The branches that grow in his crystals are not actually from his Eladrin heritage! He grows them willingly to honor two of his older siblings (who were even more fey-aligned than him)
Despite being a druid they ARE a nerd and very tech-savvy! He knows programming, hacking, and loves to do cursed technological experiments. You can bet he's using Arduino for the most specific gadgets you could ever think of
One of my very few (if not the only one I can think of) characters who are directly descended from a divine being. His father, Thunder, is a minor god (And also one of the BBEGs of our game)
His name has a lot of layers. It means the same than his deadname. Relente (in Spanish) means (nocturnal) dew, following his family's weather-names tradition. Relé (the short version) means "Relay", which matches his electrical nature + his techyness. Also "Relent" (in English) does match his overall chill attitude.
He's got an angry form I jokingly call Relentless : )
Thank you so much for the ask!! I just love this stormy guy so much <3
