teacupwarrior replied to your photoset: I realize I never posted these here. This is my...
I’m really curious what their classes and alignments are, could you share some of their backstory/personality/etc?
I’m not the best with alignments unfortunately and I’m pretty new to the party, but I’ll tell you what I know along with recommending looking up Manacles of Darkness on Youtube as the sessions are recorded! Or you can check out this playlist I made with all the episodes. Just note that this session has been going on for a year so these are just the characters that are currently a part of the session.
Firoh- Firoh is a Desh’niri swordsman (I can’t remember his class exactly), Desh’niri I can best describe as middle eastern elves. I don’t know much about Firoh, but from what I remember being told he’s a pyromaniac with a talking sword that he argues with a lot. He’s also scarred from being stuck in a dimension where he died thousands of times. When he goes to sleep he ends up in a dimension where forgotten souls are left, which is pretty crazy. As far as I can tell he’s pretty laid back, but his charisma is abysmal. If I had to compare him character wise, I would say he’s a mix of Inigo and Gaius.
Leiven- Leiven is Desh’niri, but is also an Ethereal that just got his body back after a very long time of regenerating it. He used to wear a gas mask to hide it and often speaks telepathically since he still isn’t use to having his vocal cords back. He’s a very powerful sorcerer who’s excited to learn everything and anything he can about the universe, even if he has to use unethical means to do it. Let’s just say he may or may not have committed some human rights abuses to cure a disease a few hundred years back. Leiven doesn’t really care for the feelings of others unless it benefits himself and isn’t above torture if he can find some sort of new knowledge from it.
Arturio- Arturio is a human noble that was locked up in a tower by his family, expected to take on a “curse” that would greatly improve his magical abilities via killing his father. Not wanting to commit patricide, he left to try and find his own way in the world, but unfortunately has only been met with the death of many of his former party members as the curse had not been properly passed on and thus was causing more harm than good. Despite this he tries to keep positive and is still pretty sheltered about the world around him. He can also speak abyssal, which is the language of the dead.
Myrrh- Myrrh is a half elf and a former tiefling. Her parents were murdered by racist villagers that hated the fact that a human and an elf were together. Just before this she had met a human boy and had fallen in love with him, but he was killed as well by the village for trying to fraternize with her. This left her vulnerable to Asmonus, whom called himself the King of Wrath, and made a deal with her and possessed her via her eye (which is where the scar comes from). After a very long and complicated arc, Myrrh and Asmonus are no longer bonded but Myrrh still feels the urge to bring him back. Myrrh did find love again, via a monk named Noryk, but he died as well and one of her quests in MoD is to bring him back to life. Myrrh is pretty meek compared to her former tiefling self, but she’s slowly been learning to depend on herself rather than others for her happiness (she also recently learned to read!). Also a lot of people want her dead.
Jeeves- Jeeves is also a tiefling, but possessed by a demon named Marv. Jeeves was experimented on as a child, but was able to get away. I don’t know much about him since he is played by our GM, but after being kidnapped and experimented on again by his abuse, Jeeves was able to get his revenge with the help of Leiven. Gonna be honest, listening to that was super cathartic. I don’t really know Jeeves too well as a character.
Rey- I honestly don’t know how to describe Rey. He’s a blood rager and apparently is pretty popular, but his past is a mystery and he’s a pretty sheltered person. Don’t really have a read on him yet.
Dagon- Dagon is actually one of the newer recruits to MoD, he’s a warlock that the team needed to help them cure a magical necrosis that was plaguing them. He’s basically immortal, transferring his consciousness into new bodies he makes for himself. He’s also able to speak abyssal, and has even offered to take Arturio under his wing to help him find a way to properly transfer the curse without killing Arturio’s father. He’s very refined, if a bit set in his old ways.
Mila- The newest addition to MoD, Mila is a half orc-half elf fighter that was raised in the far off country of Fayeer in a clock work shop her family owned. She was pretty isolated by her father, aunt, and uncle as orc-elves are extremely rare and very hated by both sides. Her father, being an orc and a former fighter, taught Mila all she knows about battle and even blessed her with her family’s heirloom Earthbreaker (basically a giant meat tenderizer). She knows not who her mother is and doesn’t care to know as she thinks her mother didn’t love her. Because of this, she considers herself to be ‘whole orc’ as she’s denounced her elf half. Despite her cold demeanor, Mila is actually very in tune with her emotions she just has trouble expressing them through words. She also really likes cute things, her favorites being rabbits.
Sorry that took so long, but these characters have a huge story line and I definitely recommend checking out the videos if you wanna know way more about them.
