I've decided to just start posting my OCs here instead of letting them just fester in my discord and/or dndbeyond.
(To help keep track of them, I'll be using their names and OC Vault as tags.)
Xyren
Gender/Pronouns: Non-binary (All)
Height: 7'1''
Age: 127
Birthday: October 9th
Foreclaimer Gryffon Knight Fighter
Backstory:
Xyren was born having empathy, a defect by their society's standards, and learned how to mask it from an early age. Similarly early on, thanks to an aptitude test that all forclaimers in their city went through at a young age, it was discovered that Xyren had an affinity of sorts with gryffons, and so was set on the path to becoming a gryffon knight, working with them and learning under the current gryffon knights.
Eventually, they'd begin the physical training aspect to become strong enough for the role, and after they turned 110 and received the surgery that all foreclaimers undergo, they went through a ceremony of sorts where they met and made the bond with a gryffon who became their partner and companion.
Some more time goes by, a number of years, during which Xyren would take up helping the science research folk with field research, taking on missions themself, and also providing escort/security for parties of multiple individuals as necessary.
One day, the city is attacked, and in the confusion of the fray, Xyren's gryffon partner was slain by an errant bullet. The tides of the conflict only got worse, and protocol for them stated to fall back to the labs where they were to defend the area and back up data, and in the event of an impending breach, put themself into stasis via the provided pods.
This is exactly what happened, and so, Xyren put themself into stasis for a set amount of time that they'd be revived at the end of. The time passes and they emerge to find themself still blocked in and trapped within the room, the conflict long since abated.
Unbeknownst to them, they had lost the fight, and so they slowly they start working away at the rubble blocking the entrance. They almost get enough out of the way to get through when a panel from the ceiling drops suddenly and pins them, making them pass out until a certain someone would eventually dig them out and patch them up...
The first five pics are his adventuring gear, and these next ones are her more.. Off-duty type clothes. Yes, that's it.
