Description


A friend of mine is starting a new D&D campaign, and while I am fairly busy, I really do miss playing in his games. He much prefers in-person, so with COVID, planning a new campaign to run has proven a challenge to him. So naturally, I want to support him and really, four hours every other weeks isn't anything I can't handle. However, with other events that happened this year around D&D, I've been putting much more focus into my own RPG system. I've been kinda burnt out on D&D. Some bad memories, and the group I've been playing with in the interim hasn't been the positive experience that I needed after coming out of a ultra-negative one. In other words, the task of creating another new character for a system that I no longer really enjoy was daunting. I created four this year that I really got attached to. One for an in-person game that got three sessions before being canceled. (Dawli the Firbolg Bard/Fighter) Three for virtual games. (Viernoc, my Sultry Space Pirate, Lilac my Bunnyfolk Samurai, and Periwinkle, Pokemon Ranger) Now Viernoc ain't going away. I've been doing renders, and there's a story brewing for her. So the ONE session she got won't be the last of her. Lilac is a ronin, so she can always pop up in other games if I need a quick character. And Periwinkle is joining my cast for my own RPG. In fact, I'm pretty sure she'll be starring in some fiction to help support the system once I'm closer to releasing it to the General Public. I invested heavily into these characters. So not getting to play them kinda hurt. So, here I am. Another new campaign. No special races, so I can't re-use Dawli or Lilac. I thought of adapting Periwinkle but the D&D class I have her set up for doesn't exist in the vanilla game. There was the option to be Aarokokra on D&D Beyond, and there's a great aarokokra character I've played before named Dar, or Sir Dar, but the DM has an issue with players being able to fly. Who's left? I could play my old standby, Oroku Sabutai, Half-Elf Fighter. Only he's associated with that BAD experience, and the DM for this new game was a player in that one. Best not to go there, I think. Even if he's one of my favorite characters to be. This rules out Gwydion as well, my Half-Orc Monk/Bard. It also looks like we'd be starting at level 01, so I'm not sure I want to start at level 1 with Gwydion anyway. Pretty much, my only real choice was to make a new character. Again. And I'm too gun-shy to invest like I usually do. I decided to roll up something random. EVERYTHING randomly selected. I let my dice decide, and used generators to fill in options such as name, height, weight, hair color, eye color. The only thing I did was slightly change the spelling of the randomly generated name, and choose alignment. (I only play Chaotic Good) I got Faedove the Half-Elf cleric. She's of the Life domain. She has the Haunted One background, and worships the Goddess of the Moon. She's very self-sacrificing, but has an addiction. I haven't decided on what the addiction will be yet. That's probably one of the few things I may decide to change because it's a flaw I'm not sure I could play very well. Anyway, I like her, and had to go and make her a portrait. I hope you all enjoy it. Maybe you could use a half-elf cleric in your own games?

That's a tasty looking character alright! Random, eh? Maybe I should try that...

I'm comfortable cross-playing, but this new group is mostly strangers. I was going to play a male, but decided to let the dice decide that, too. Did a best 2-out-of-3 odds-evens with the D6... got a 6, 4 and 2. Lol.

Thanks for the feedback. I find the whole character intriguing.

Try Zweihander :) I think every D&D gamer has tried to create their own system, D&D is the Happy Meal of RGP and sooner or later, you want a sloppy hamburger. For me and D&D, I hate alignment, don't use it, think the DM should define what evil is in the world and build cultural taboos. Oh, rambling...

Great character look and back story. Do 12 questions to help define her, like; why did she become a cleric? Where is her family? Where did she grow up? Where did she train and with who? How did she meet the rest of the party? Your DM should be helping you with this stuff. I enjoy letting the party decide how they meet, they come up with some wild stories.

I've been building this system for several years now. I'm an old hand when it comes to RPGs. It's just been a year to remind me of all the reasons why I don't actually like D&D.

So many great textures in this scene - and I love her hair!!

Thank you! It took a little doing, but I like how it turned out. I rolled and got "red-violet" for hair color, lol.

Wonderful character and I love the life you breath into them through your writing. I have taken to naming my character's after their Daz or 'Osity' name. Can I say that word here? Well I don't see a flag that I have to set for this comment so I guess it OK. Back to the naming convention, how dull is that? Well the name must mean something to the creator. I would hate to think I was writing about a character whose name came up on a roll of the dice.

LyleAryn

That's like me and Rochelle. I love Rochelle, but decided when she became a character in my book series that I needed to name her something else because maybe FWSA would object to her being a lesbian, lol. So, she became "Rachel." And then Aakash became Amira for the same reasons, only there is an Amira for sale here on 'Osity.

And I don't understand the disdain for Daz I see pop up. I really don't.

I do think some of the names are chosen randomly, though.

Thanks for the comment!

That sounds like a fantastic character. For the addiction, have you considered making her a workaholic? Maybe she has a hard time taking a break from her clerical duties to see to her own needs even when she desperately needs to. That works well with the self-sacrificing aspect of her personality; she takes that to an unhealthy extreme.

LyleAryn

5:16AM | Sat, 31 October 2020

Hmm. That's a good idea! Thanks! I'll consider that my last "random" element. That should actually be a lot of fun to play, too!

Great character and detailed story - and she looks ready for a fight! Not into D&D myself - or other fantasy games.

Thank you. She's always ready for a fight, lol.

Wonderful image :)

LyleAryn

1:29PM | Sat, 31 October 2020

Thanks! I set up my lighting in an interesting way, with the color temp set to 9k. Then used the auto color enhance tool in GIMP. A bit of an experiment, but I'm sure happy with the results!

Very cool character - I especially like her make-up. Perhaps she's addicted to creating characters for DD games ;-)

LyleAryn

Lol. That's worse than crack! Thanks!

Since I have never been into gaming, I have no idea what you are talking about there. But if I were 50 or 60 years younger, I'd probably be all over it! LOL! You have a great looking character here and a wonderful render! Great work, my friend! Bravo!

LyleAryn

4:32PM | Sat, 31 October 2020

Thanks! I'm going to develop her as I play, rarher than sit down and write out an extensive backstory. I got enough to go off-the-cuff for now.

I'm sure you'd enjoy some RPG-playing.

Great character! Actually computer RPG is part of what got me into Poser. I thought I could make a better character image than what was offered in the games. Then I got hooked on doing the images and textures. So here I am all these years later still striving for a better image than the last.

LyleAryn

4:37PM | Sat, 31 October 2020

The only way to progress, is forward! Thanks for the feedback. Happy Halloween!

Very tough character, fantastic image, she looks really dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figure she wound up on the abyssal plane but then they kicked her out.

She looks really awesome, good sir! I love her look, really. Super job on her.

I never really got into the whole gaming scenario, for some reason. The last games I played to any extent were Doom and Heretic if that gives you any clue! I did play a little bit of Tomb Raider, but I got poor Lara killed so many times she won't even speak to me now! 😆

It's kind of a bummer it turned out that way for you - those are supposed to be fun experiences.

LyleAryn

1:05PM | Sun, 01 November 2020

Any experience can be fun with the right person, and so the opposite must also be true. I love the role-playing. There's too many voices in my head to write a book for every single one. I'll find my party eventually, and venture forth. Maybe it's just what I needed to finally get my own system done.

Thanks for your kindness, RodS. I appreciate you.

nice rendering and beautiful colorimetry

LyleAryn

1:08PM | Sun, 01 November 2020

Thank you. I'ts neat how it worked. I tried a little experiment, and I'm happy with how it turned out. I wanted to see what would happen if I used color enhance on a render that was sorta washed out. I set my spotlights to 9000k temp. And when i hit the color enhance, that hair just POPPED! I think that's a successful experiment!

I haven't played D&D or any other RPG in years. I do like what twitch RPGers are doing though. They are all doing it over the internet with streaming tools. That might be a good way to go these days.

LyleAryn

9:20PM | Tue, 03 November 2020

Pretty much! It's a lot to adjust to, though, and I miss the sound of dice as another player rolls.

Nicely done. Sorry don't play games. I did in the Commodore 64 days, but when i got my firs pc (a used 486 from a friend) i didn't play pc games. Now i got some great machines that would play very nice games, but no time.

LyleAryn

1:09PM | Fri, 06 November 2020

Lol, that's the way it goes! Though you don't need a PC for a role-playing game. But then you go need the right group of people. There are fine folks here I'd love to play a session or two-hundred with.
