100 questions for your dnd character
stolen again from @nivrir, who i dont think is active anymore, but we're 32ish sessions in, i wanted to redo these questions now that some developments have been made and ive had time to play her
1. If your character wasn’t an adventurer, what livelihood would they lead?
hunter for her tribe, or still just being a regular ol knight in castinala
2. Who in the party would your character trust the most with their life?
proooobably roark, it's not that she doesnt trust the others, it's that he's the most likely to be able to actually physically save her (no roseiro doesnt understand most magic so she doesnt super trust it)
3. What are your character’s core moral beliefs?
preserve history, protect the party at all costs, stop trying to erase peoples' religions, family is incredibly important, traditions have to be upheld
4. What relationship does your character have with their parents and siblings?
while she hasnt spoken to her mom in three years, she knows her mom loves her, as does all of her tribe. her sister, however, is a different story. she is forced to drag her sister around wherever she goes (even though she depends on said sister and wants to have her there). they bicker regularly, but deep down they love each other
5. Does your character have any biases for or against certain races?
only in the sake of marriage, roseiro believes she has to settle down (eventually, god not now) with either an elf or half elf to continue on the lineage of her clan and hopefully grow it back to the size it was before the aether crisis
6. What is your character’s opinion on nobility? On authority?
she doesnt really see a reason for nobility per se, she doesnt think the right to rule should be determined by blood, it should be determined by who's the better ruler in general. she respects authority as much as she has to, but she likes to test the waters a bit if she thinks it's something stupid
7. Describe your character’s current appearance: clothes, armor, scars they’ve picked up along the journey, etc.
she has the same clothes she started with, though for armor she currently has a chain shirt of acid resistance. she's gotten a couple other outfits too, including a desert outfit
8. What location encountered in the campaign has your character felt the most “at home” in, or just generally liked the most?
not even in castinala does she feel at home. she has only felt most at home when in the forests in the midlands. these are her woods, she knows every inch like the back of her hand and could navigate them blindfolded
9. What deity, if any, does your character worship? What’s their opinion on other people’s worship?
charev, the goddess of life and plants, and cravakuh, the god of animals and the hunt
10. If your character had time to pick up any artisan’s tools, game set, instrument, etc., what would it be?
she would learn how to play dragonchess better so she could rub it in ziros's face
11. Describe your character’s current relationship with the player character sitting to your right.
no, ill just do these types of questions with everyone because i like that more :>
read the books: rtb is a tiny baby who has not a lot of life experience but hey, i gotta protect him because,, jesus christ i might be the archer but this kid might die if a stiff wind hits him, so ill stand in front
roark: this nosy kid, he just has so much hope for the world and the people in it, he isnt jaded by knowing that certain types of people will never change or get better, not everyone deserves a second chance. she will protect him though, as that's her job... even if he doesnt really need her protection as much as the others
shisara: that is my second little sister. that happens to be a god in training. that part's irrelevant, she's still constantly in danger and i have to make sure im a good influence on her since she has no parental figures around
ziros: this fucker. he's really the only one she sees as a mature adult (sorry everyone else)(especially rtb i know youre pretty old for your age but youre like 6 years old youre a child) but her relationship with him is.. semi complicated. they flirt on occasion and she's slept(tranced) in the same bed as him several times all cuddled up and she cares for him on an emotional level more than just his physical health, but who's to say what developments will occur...... ;)
12. What is your character’s current goal, summed up in one sentence?
protect the party while they go about fulfilling these silly prophecies and defeating the tyrant's call

she's stuck in her brain that she physically has to eventually settle down with an elf (or half elf) to help bolster her tribe again
14. Has your character ever been in love?
no, not really. she's fucked a few times, but i wouldnt say she's really romantically loved anyone
15. What battle in the campaign has been most memorable to your character?
probably the one in the jagged irons camp, seeing those torturers who were so undoubtedly evil, they would maim and torture children for fun

she's a bit like the mom friend, but only towards samahl and shisara
32. What is your character the most insecure about?
she hates it when people are better than her at the things she prides herself on, i.e. tracking, hunting, exploring, etc
33. What person does your character admire most?
as far as npcs go, it's samahl. she's always trying to help and has that childlike wonder still and knows the danger she's getting into and is still with the party. for actual characters, probably ziros. he's incredibly socially intelligent as well as pretty intelligence intelligent and has firm beliefs that he has had the option to pursue. he also trusts her with his family secrets, which she appreciated

38. What treasure/item/artifact that your character has collected during the adventure is the most important to them?
the holy book that was made as a copy in malos for charev, she didnt know much about the gods she worships (even charev's holy symbol), so having this link to her tribe is incredibly important to her

54. How does your character feel about keeping secrets from the rest of the party?
she usually wouldnt keep secrets from the party unless she thought it wouldnt impact them. like for example, she doesnt want to go to her tribe! she doesnt think itll impact the rest of the group, only her, so she doesnt think it relevant to talk about

probably dragons at this point, as they learn more about the different types and fight more dragons

she doesnt know. but from what she can remember, she wanted to just continue being a hunter and food provider for the tribe, maybe explore around more
57. The player character to your left admits that they’re passionately in love with your character. How would your character respond?
read the books: yeesh, uh... sorry bud. i dont have much else to say, just... no. sorry.
roark: listen, kid... im just not interested. i appreciate it, but... nnnoo.
shisara: youre a child. dont joke about stuff like that
ziros: you dont believe in love, dont joke around like that *punches him in the shoulder*
58. If somebody (an NPC, someone from their backstory, etc.) your character trusts/loves asked your character to do something against the party’s best interest, who would they side with?
this would be samahl, and if it's something important, then she would absolutely choose samahl over the party in a heartbeat.

nope, the party are the heralds of light, she's tasked to protect them and go with them on their path, no matter the job

maybe if something destroyed her tribe or castinala? or destroying history of something she deemed worth protecting

old age in her tribe
62. What is your character’s greatest achievement?
getting the orb of dragonkind away from shairax and essentially disappearing to keep it secured and hidden
63. Is your character willing to risk the well-being of others in order to achieve their goal?
their goal is to protect the party at all costs, so yes
64. What is your character’s opinion on killing others?
sometimes it's necessary. people will do harm and continue to do it if they think they can get away with it. some people have caused so much suffering it would be a disservice to those who have bled at their hands to not kill them.
65. What is your character’s favorite food? Beverage?
she probably really likes some of the fancier dishes in castinala, though she wouldnt readily admit it. beverage is fine dwarven fire whiskey or whatever it's called
66. How generous is your character? Especially to those they don’t know?
she's generous to her sister, but as far as helping others she'll help most people. she doesnt value money very much, but people dont tend to ask her for things so it hasnt come up much
67. What is your character the most envious about, regarding anyone in the party?
roark is far stronger than her and will always be better at protecting the party than she can
68. The player character to your left and the player character to your right are both telling your character two different versions of the truth. Who does your character believe?
for this ill do like. ziros and roark since theyre the most likely to argue about something like this
honestly, even though she knows roark cant lie, she would probably still trust ziros's word more. she knows that their goals align more, so he probably knows better when it comes to a decision involving her
69. What is your character’s sexuality/relationship with sex?
i didnt notice it last time, but this is the 69 question haha nice. anyway, she's readily sexual with anyone she finds attractive and seems DTF, though it's a little DIFFICULT with these fuckin CHILDREN around! if she can afford a private moment though, she'll take advantage of it. sex does not equal a relationship in any way for her. she's bisexual btw so no one is safe
70. What is your character’s biggest pet peeve?
the joke answer is ziros's occasional flirting with her that he never acts on, but the real answer is people trying to force her to go against her religious ideals. being forced to march under the name of bahamut instead of charev or even cravakuh, covering her tattoos so they arent seen by those against her religion, etc
71. Describe how your character feels about the party’s current situation/objective/etc.
currently we're going into her tribe, and she is absolutely dreading it. the last time she was there, she was being forced to go be a knight as a punishment for being a troublemaker and breaking some of the lesser rules. she also just doesnt want the party to embarrass her here
72. Who in the party would your character trust the most to keep an important secret?
ziros. he's trusted her with secrets, she'll trust her with his
73. If your character knew that they were going to die in a month, how would they spend the rest of their life?
she would go back to her tribe and die amongst her family
74. What makes your character feel safe?
honestly, those nights where she slept cuddled up to ziros was probably the safest she's felt, other than living with her tribe. she hasn't been vulnerable with anyone else much other than that, and so far he hasn't taken advantage of that
75. If your character had the chance to rename the party/give the party a name, no questions asked, what would it be?
Slayers of the Tyrant's Call or something to the effect of anti-tyrant's call, nothing to do with bahamut, even if Heralds of Light doesnt actually reference bahamut in the name
76. What memory does your character want to forget the most?
absolutely none. she wants to remember everything and is a little bit paranoid about forgetting anything
77. If your character had to multiclass into a class they currently aren’t the next time they level up, what would it be and what reason would they have for doing so?
probably rogue because she's getting much better at being an assassin
78. What television/book/video game/etc. character would your character be best friends with? (Or: what media character is your character the most influenced by/similar to?)
heh, i said before that it would be my dragon age origins character, as she was a dalish elf and they have a lot in common
79. What unusual talents does your character possess?
well, she has a pet drake, if that counts. other than that, she's faster than most and can probably make a clover with her tongue
80. How does your character feel about receiving/giving orders? Are they more of a leader, or a follower?
she's more of a follower, as she is just a knight after all. she likely wouldnt be a good leader, and she knows that. she has had to be that a couple of times before though and she doesnt particularly like the responsibility that comes with it, never knowing if her direction is right. as far as following orders, she usually hates it lmao. if it's something boring like stand guard, she'll complain about it the whole time
81. What does your character’s name represent to them? (Or: why as a player did you choose your character’s name?)
technically her only name is roseiro, the boranehn part is just the name of her tribe that she gives as a faux surname. roseiro doesn't mean much to her other than a rose bush, but the boranehn name means everything to her. it means history lost to be found, it means her family, it means the traditions she holds so dearly.
82. Is your character more of an introvert, or an extrovert?
extrovert, 100%
83. How far is your character willing to go to pursue the “greater good”? Do they believe in a greater good at all?
she does believe in it, she'll go pretty far actually, including murder if needbe (and it has need..been?) but it doesnt often stray from the party's goals, even if what the "Greater Good" is is debated by the party sometimes
84. What does your character want to be remembered by?
how this dashing young elf knight helped save those in Castinala from the tyrant's call
85. What would be your character’s major in college?
she would absolutely drop out, but probably got in on a sports scholarship and went for... environmental science maybe, then realized she didnt actually care about this, tried for biology, same thing, drops out
86. Does your character consider themselves a hero, villain, or something else?
she doesnt consider herself either, but if she had to pick, it would be hero
87. What major arcana tarot card best represents your character?
im gonna go with the same as last time, The Fool. "upright it represents beginnings, innocence, spontaneity and being a free spirit, while inverted it means holding back, recklessness and risk-taking. all of these i feel either are or will be qualities of roseiro"
88. Where does your character see themselves in 20 years?
20 years isnt much to an elf, but hopefully the tyrant's call having been dealt with and hopefully not still a knight in castinala. she wants to be able to go back to her tribe and live with them again, but maybe travel more
89. What is your character’s relationship with magic? Are they scared of it, wish to know more about it, indifferent to it?
she believes her magic comes from charev and nature in general, but other more arcane magic just confuses her. she understands the power from nature, though.
90. Who is your character’s biggest rival?
anyone that's better than her at something important lmao, so probably the desert guide from malos. i dont even remember her name but roseiro believes she absolutely could have lead the party through the desert, a land she knows next to nothing about
91. What is your character’s guiltiest pleasure?
she isnt very guilty about most pleasures, but probably she just. really likes being praised. she can never ask for it of course, but it makes her feel the best
92. What does your character hope for the afterlife?
she hopes for reincarnation, but maybe just exploring a vast forest for forever could be fun
93. Who in the party does your character trust the least?
probably roark tbh, he seems like the type to go do something stupid without thinking ahead
94. What is your character’s biggest flaw?
she's pretty easily convinced of something if the person knows what her goals are and can twist them. she's also pretty dumb when it comes to knowing how magic works, so she wouldnt know how to react to certain situations if it's mostly revolving around magic
95. How did your character learn the languages that they speak?
just copying from before as this didnt change,
"her tribe spoke mostly elvish around each other, but growing up she was taught common as well. she was taught celestial when she joined the knights (an elective, she wanted to speak the holy tongue to better commune with the people there) and finally draconic came overnight from her connection to her drakewarden"
96. What is your character’s favorite school of magic/type of weaponry?
long bows are her favorite weapon, naturally. she actually feels pretty uncomfortable holding a longsword or something in her hands. she would try a shortbow or crossbow, but she likes the range she has for the longbow
97. What is most important to your character: health, wealth, or happiness?
happiness, she'd probably give up the other two to have the last
98. What advice would your character give to a younger version of themselves?
queen highcastle is going to be killed by a dragon on xx day. protect her, warn castinala of the tyrant's call.
99. Are there any social or political issues your character feels strongly about?
not really, not even in malos. she was mostly just concerned with helping shasa find her family history (something she does really care about)
100. What, currently, is your character the most curious about?
are the elders still mad at me? will they like my party? will my party embarrass me beyond belief? how do we fix shisara? oh gods oh fuck
