[D&D-5e] Dragon Storm Rising

[IrishKatt]

Selunite Badass Ametrine Opaltide Race Duergar (Deep Dwarf) Class Cleric - Twilight Domain - Seluna Background - Adopted Character Sheet Description Ametrine stands at a grand height of four feet tall and a modest weight of 120 pounds which has been generously proportioned to her feminine frame. Her eyes, a pupil-less dull grey with a telltale twilight hue seemingly illuminating them from within. Though of a buxom build she is often clad in her heavy armor which obscures her frame in lieu of protection over aesthetics, but that isnt to say that the armor is bland by any means. It shares the same twilight colouration as her eyes, though with the noticeable texture of adamantine, that had a twilight patina placed upon it, as well as a symbol of the moon emblazoned upon its surface. All of this radiant twilight colouration is in stark contrast to her dull stone-grey skin, and white hair; shaved down the left side, and braided down her back with wild bangs eluding to her more care-free nature. About her person she wears varying cloth garments, and accessories all of which are dyed, and coloured a nice almost royal purple hue, the look of which, when combined with her armour create a similar effect to her namesake. Purple is by far her favorite colour, and she has even gone so far as to pay extra to leather workers to dye her commissions. Personality Unlike her dour, and often critical kin, Ametrine is a breath of fresh air to most who meet her as she immediately breaks the stereotype associated with her kind. Ametrine is often boisterous and loud, and is always willing to lend a helping hand when she can, though sometimes she can interject, or insert herself where she shouldn't. While friendly she IS still a dwarf, which means that in some ways she is quick to anger, and take offense, mostly when her ability or integrity comes into question, or whenever ale, and competition meet. She isnt afraid of confict, and will often pout herself in the middle of it, and has a deep love of baked goods be they sweet, or savoury alike. She often can be seen with a bounce in her step, and even be heard humming to herself more often than not, and her favorite thing to do is to take a hot dark bath with a platter of quiche, rolls, Danishes, and the like, with a large bottle of wine. Background Trait 1: Nothing can shake my Optimistic Attitude Trait 2: I'm confident in my own abilities and do what I can to instill confidence in others. Ideal: Respect. People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. (Good) Bond: I protect those who cannot protect themselves. Flaw: I have trouble keeping my true feelings hidden. My sharp tongue lands me in trouble. Character History Gracklestugh to many this place is unknown, but to the denizens of the underdark the name evokes the image of industry, and possibly the greatest seat of mass smithing in the entirety of the Forgotten Realms. The kingdom of Gracklestugh is a duergar kingdom that is devoted to the production of quality goods, be they weapons, armor, tools, the duergar are making them with uncanny skill. The city itself is located in a small northern part of the underdark close to where many other races find their largest kingdoms, Blingdenstone the kingdom of the Svirfneblin or Deep Gnomes, and the ever more famous, and dreaded Menzoberranzan. Main domain of the many houses of Lolth loyal drow, and seat of great cruelties acrossed the realms. Lucky for us Ametrine's story begins just outside of Bingdenstone as a part of a shipment of gemstones to the merchant guilds of the deep-gnome kingdom. Here a pregnant, work obsessed Duergar would give birth, making the return trip that much more dificult. Needless to say travel in the underdark in treacherous enough as it is, let alone trying to carry a newborn through those perils as well. Unfortunately as the caravan of duergar headed back they were set upon by a drider raiding party, and taken for food. Asleep, and tucked away Ametrine lay unaware of the massacre that had taken her parents, and the rest of the mercantile group that had been there. It wasnt until her second day there in the underdark that a group from the surface world, adventurers happened upon her while searching through the wreckage of the caravan. This one in a million chance was what brought the little deep dwarf to the surface, though she was responsible for more than a few mishaps on the way to the surface world. Luckily for her when she made it to the surface those who had found her brought her somewhere she could thrive. Growing up surrounded by the group that saved her had raised her with a plethora of differing view points, and ways to look at the world from each of the people that helped raise her. Two fathers, and three mothers all of varying racial backgrounds helped her come into her own a blur of differing, and sometimes conflicting ways of looking at things. It was their helpful nature however that brought her to the Selunite temple to better help those like her parents had helped her. With her strong sense of self, and her drive to help people in need she poured herself into her faith, and started helping those in need exactly like her parents had. It wasnt until recently that her usual dreams filled with golden twilight, and merriment were twisted, and malevolent, like an intrusive thought that wouldnt go away, but it didnt happen often enough that she could get used to it. Rather it came back every five nights, a horrible nightmare filled with biting cold, choking fumes, crackling lightning storms, waves of acid, and torrents horrible fire, always ending with ten eyes staring at her from the darkness.

application Name: Thak Race: Bugbear Class: Arcana Cleric 4 / Druid 1 Background: Far Travler Trait1: I have my own ideas about what is and is not food and I find the eating habits of those around me fascinating, confusing and revolting. Trait2: I have faced the worst Cult of the Dragon could deliver and survived. I am fearless, and in my resolve unshakable. Ideal: When in trouble, the only person I can rely on is myself. Bond: My freedom is my most precious possession. Flaw: I am paranoid and overly suspicious of others. Anyone may be an agent of the Cult of the Dragon. Description: Despite being relatively short for a bugbear, standing at 6'7" and weighing 220lbs, Thak possesses an imposing presence. His lean and long-limbed physique exudes an air of agility and strength. Brownish orange coarse hair adorns his frame, adding a touch of ruggedness to his appearance. His triangular ears, resembling those of a predatory creature, hint at his keen sense of hearing and alertness. The bugbear's carnivorous teeth serve as a reminder of his primal nature. Clad in studded leather armor crafted from bone, horn, and supple leather, he dons an intimidating yet practical ensemble. His greenish white eyes gleam with a hint of mystery and determination, while his almost flat, short snout adds a distinctive feature to his countenance. Pesonality: Thak is defined by his brutish and primal nature. With an insatiable hunger and a carnivorous instinct, he sees himself as a formidable predator, a natural part of the food chain with his place firmly at the top. While concerned for his own survival, Thak recognizes the strength and advantages of being part of a pack, valuing the support and protection it offers. However, his egotistic tendencies often overshadow his sense of camaraderie, making him hesitant to fully trust others. His cannibalistic tendencies, though unsettling, are a reflection of his ruthless nature and willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure his own dominance. In the bugbear's world, survival is paramount, and Thak navigates his surroundings with a sharp and mistrusting eye, always ready to seize opportunities and defend his place at the pinnacle of the natural hierarchy. Character History: Thak has a tragic history intertwined with the Cult of the Dragon. As a family member of the cult, Thak's life took a devastating turn when his family was brutally killed, leaving him as the sole survivor. Feared dead, Thak's survival became a testament to his resilience and cunning. Fueled by a relentless desire for vengeance, Thak embarked on a perilous quest to track down those responsible for the destruction of his family. His sights are set on three key figures within the cult: the human Frulam Mondath, the half-orc Bog Luck, and the menacing half-dragon Rezmir. With unwavering determination, Thak seeks justice and redemption, motivated by a deep-seated need to avenge his fallen kin and bring closure to the painful chapter of his life.

The character sheet gives me an idea of how the player looks at the logistics of the character, which plays into how they will RP them a bit, so the mundane stuff isn't really necessary.

EDIT - @Irishkatt - the character sheet needs to be made public so I can see it.
Thanks.
