Omg guys this episode was so cool, like, I couldn’t stop staring at my screen the entire 4 hours! There was just so much! Awesome chance encounters, the plot unraveling even if just a tiny bit, romance, incredible roleplay.. and the actors seemed to have such a fun time 💕 I’m just amazed at their talent! And this scene in particular was just really cute, and I loved the interaction to pieces 🥺

Babette Melwyn, Ref Sheet

Art by @yliseryn​

Babette Melwyn was no stranger to death. Several lifetimes of war and tragedy left her drowning under tidal waves of blood and broken bodies, yet death never came for her. Then came the revolt. The people she had sworn to protect and guide through the dark times turned against her with weapons in hand and vengeance in their hearts.

When that spear—the spear they forged just for her—pierced her heart, she thought death might have finally claimed her. Instead, she lived, wounded but still breathing. She lived and the galaxy she once ruled perished before her. She lived and she was alone. For years, she wandered the ruins of her empire, watching its once pristine homes and towers crumble to dust. She wandered and wandered until she could wander no more, when torpor took her immortal body.

But that still wasn’t the end.

The next thing she knew she was in a bright, white room, nose burning with the acrid smell of antiseptics. A hospital room. With people. Living, breathing people who spoke a language so familiar yet foreign still. It was too much. It overwhelmed her. The sights, the sounds, the relief, the guilt, the pain—the fear. In her first moments of consciousness, she struggled and fought and cried. And then exhaustion took hold and all she knew was darkness again.

When she next woke, she was still in the hospital room, bound to the bed. The doctors worried and fretted, still speaking that strange tongue. And she was too weak to do anything but wonder if she was hallucinating or if everything was real. Then they came. They, who were as familiar was the language they spoke, who brought with them such a profound feeling of loss that burned her to her very core.

And in that moment, she realized that there was a third possibility.

That, after all this time, the Empress of the Stars was home.

Gush & tag list under cut:

There are so many little things about this commission I absolutely adore. Firstly, this is the first time I’ve seen her depicted with her cane (which is partly my fault) and she just looks... complete with it. I’ve always thought she’d need a cane for a long time since her return to Earth and it was very pleasing to see her get it.

Then there’s the outfits themselves.

Babette in a large Linkin Park shirt is 100% in character because she’s def Alternative Metal trash, and you’ve depicted that really well here (and the dyed hair was done marvellously)! The Shabbat outfit is really cute, and I love seeing her in more colourful outfits even if I play it safe with “dark and monochrome” (and, as an aside, many people love her in this). And the Royal outfit? Sleek and fancy and you definitely got her more dramatic presentation in spades (and a few people have even mentioned wanting that one, too!)

And then there’s the little details! The colour palette being made up on the little arrow head on her necklace? The dotted scars along some of her dissection scars, showing she was partly sewn back up? The slight bit of fang in the expression chart?  I let you have fun with the outfits and you didn’t disappoint! You’ve exceeded my expectations and I’m very glad to have worked with you.

I’ve been super excited about this commission for a long time and I’m glad that @yliseryn has finally gotten the chance to finish it! I contacted her back in October about her open slots and arranged it as a holiday/one-year anniversary surprise for my D&D group, the Misadventurers’s Curse of Strahd campaign. She did a fantastic job and I’m glad to finally be showing these guys off!

Now, if you’re familiar with the module, you’ll know that it has a tendency to be fatal to characters if you’re not careful, so not everyone here was in the party at the same time. But anyhow, left to right, here’s who these folk are: 

On the left, we have my character, Koltrayn Kilvarr or as the group mostly calls him, Kol, and his undead Grevy’s Zebra mount, Veldrin. I’m not sure which of the two is more stubborn, Kol or Veldrin; but suffice to say, they make a deadly pair against the various dangers we’ve come against so far. Koltrayn is a Drow Outrider(a homebrew ranger conclave made by @noblecrumpet-dorkvision that I absolutely adore) and Light Cleric of Darahl Firecloak/ Tilvenar, an elven deity of fire, earth, & metalworking that is on outs with most of his pantheon and practically the most dwavern of the Seldairne. His preferred form of communication is sign language, much to the exasperation of our paladin, who’s standing next to him as he doesn’t understand it at all.

The newcomer to our group, standing bright in all his green armor, we have Reuben Veridell, otherwise known as Sandwich Boy or Verideli. A half-elf Paladin of the Ancients, he follows Baervan Wildwanderer, a Gnomish god of forests, nature & travel. Very much into the whole beacon of hope dig and has called it Beaconism. Met the group not long after one of the party died by smashing his warpick into a vampire spawn’s face. Has more morals than some in the party, which frustrates our warlock from time to time, Marek Illemnor, who is standing in dead center.

Marek is unofficially the leader of our party and is a Scourge Aasimar warlock that works under the patronship of Shar, a goddess of darkness, night, and secrets. He tends to handle a lot of our social interactions alongside Reuben; but does it better, in Kol’s opinion, as he’s more flexible. As a Hexblade, it isn’t uncommon to see him up close and personal with combat, but he’s squishier than he’d like to be.  Kol & him have a thing going on; but they don’t even know what it is yet. ;)

Karna Avrovich is our serious but not half-elf Blood Hunter. Having donned a white sheet to pretend to be a ghost, her sense of humor belies the whole noble knight aura she has going on. Her weapons of choice tend to be a scimitar and shortsword, if not the crossbow that she’s got on her back. One of the only party members that isn’t serving a deity to the party’s collective knowledge.

To the right of her is Flynn Rider, our Tiefling College of Whispers Bard that can’t keep his mouth shut to the annoyance of everyone in the group. His preferred instrument is his fiddle, which sadly broke recently in our last few sessions when he got kidnapped by werewolves. He has an Irish accent and spends most sessions drunk as a skunk. Somehow he’s not dead yet. Not that people, including a certain Drow haven’t aimed a weapon in his direction multiple times.

And finally, last but not least, is our Arctic Genasi Ranger, Glasier Moraine. Fond of cold early morning swims and his clockwork fish better known as Caps, Karna, Marek, Koltrayn, and him were all part of the same monster-hunting group, Crypts-N-Quarry for six months. Sadly, he perished fighting the Big Bad of the module during one of our missions to set right a case of theft. Had a tendency to roll really poorly on his longsword attacks but used to be the moral compass and glue that held the group together before his death. Of course, the group isn’t 100% certain he is dead, his body having been taken away by the Big Bad; but it is fairly obvious he’s not going back any time soon at this point.
