today’s characters are neon and maro, a pair of nonbinary badass npcs in the campaign that i finally started running today.
this is neon. they’re a nymph, dress in all black, can be found in the bar chatting with their friend. they’re an aromantic lesbian who takes no shit and is just generally too cool for everyone. also they wear platform boots that make them like six and a half feet tall, which is only three inches taller than their natural height. sometimes, they can be seen riding around the city on a motorcycle or in the alley having a smoke.
this is maro. they’re neon’s best friend, almost always together, naturally just over six feet tall. maro is a dryad, but their tree is burnt down. they wear all red, also ride a motorcycle, and smoke more than neon does. they’re an ace lesbian of few words and no bullshit. if they like you, they’ll say. if they want you gone, they will tell you to go away. they’re that kinda person.
a run down of all the dnd characters i’ve played over the past few years. leonard was my first and holds a special place in my heart. agni was an npc in a campaign i dm’ed, and i plan to use him again. ben is who i’m currently playing, he’s a sweetheart. shoutout to our amazing dm, @faerplay
why are most of them men, you ask? because dysphoria sucks
you have a point! my gears are turning. clown campaign will happen someday.

so torrid is a fire genasi bard, hope is a white tiefling divination wizard. both are of the noble background.
torrid is the daughter and only child of ember and damon sinclair, a fire genasi woman and a human man. they were a political marriage and, though they didn’t have a marriage based on love, were a powerful alliance. they raised their daughter to be strong independently with the knowledge that she would one day be married to another family’s heir to forge a political alliance. she was always fierce and still reserved, a gifted diplomat. torrid went to parties and other events of importance with her parents from a young age. it was at one of these events that she first met hope.
hope is the eldest daughter of euphoria and ralcius, both also white tieflings. she was the first child they were able to have after a great many failures to produce an heir. after hope, they had two other daughters, velkaria and anisolis. hope was a sick child, one such illness claiming the sight in one of her eyes.
torrid and hope knew they would not be allowed together, both being noblewomen destined to marry men of their parents’ choosing, but they stole what time they could. they would duck out of parties, walk the courtyards together, enjoy their little moments of peace away from duties and family.
it didn’t last. they were found out eventually, hope’s parents deciding to put a swift end to it. she was quickly engaged, set to be married off to a man she did not know.
torrid wanted to run away with her, leave their lives behind and start anew, free to love each other, free to be together.
but hope was a dutiful daughter. she would do as her parents wished.
the sinclairs attended the wedding. it would be improper were they to decline the invitation. so torrid sat, trapped between her parents, as the woman she loved was walked down the aisle to a stranger.
ember gripped her daughter’s wrist tight as the officiate asked for any objections. she would not tolerate her daughter giving in to impulsiveness and disgracing their family. so torrid held her tongue.
still, as hope kissed her new husband, torrid could stay and watch no longer. she wrenched her arm away from her mother and stood, storming out with tears in her eyes.
they didn’t see each other again.
so i have this group, right, we play dnd every sunday and take turns dming. so our current campaign is going great, i have two characters on deck to choose from for our next one and then someone pipes up saying they have an idea for the next campaign. this campaign sounds bangin, no issue there.
however
this campaign involves a character they have sent me art of, a character they had said would get along great with my pc from their last campaign. so, here i am, looking at my elf warlock and my daemonfae warlock/bard, and coming to the realization they might just have to wait. oliver beckons me back.
for context, oliver is a skeleton bard with the noble background, he’s a cocky bastard with no regard for anyone but himself, he thinks he’s better than everyone and flirts with anyone, he’s super rich and thinks he’s more important than he really is, also he seduced the leader of the gang we were supposed to face off against at the end of the campaign and gave him his number. so yeah. guess my sexy skeleton is back.
i love monster prom so much. i haven’t played in a while, but i remember going for liam and damien a lot. once i got the dlc tho, i was all for zoe because she’s purple and yellow which are my favorite colors and also she’s very cute.
hey @marigoldmagpies and @tilthedayidice I’m gonna need more content in this stream-every-day thing I’m doing this month so do y’all wanna show me the ropes of DBD some day? I’ve only played it maybe once before
Make Ares with this!

okay so these two met at a bar. dorian got dragged out by a handful of dorm mates and johnny was there looking to enjoy his time on land and maybe find a couple new recruits. dorian wasn't really the sort he would usually try to bring on board but he was really cute and awkward and he looked so out of place that johnny decided that he needed someone to talk to. so he approached and dorian was just as cute and awkward up close and in conversation. dorian, for his part, had absolutely no idea how to deal with this very attractive stranger talking to him of all people.
they both felt something that first night and decided to meet again the next day. and the next. and the next. and so on until johnny was set to depart again. and so johnny, now knowing what his new friend was studying (and clearly very skilled at), asked if he wanted to come along. after all, he said, the ship could use someone with proper medical training.
dorian, not wanting to lose johnny after finding someone he actually clicked with for the first time in years, agreed.
and so it went for quite some time, the two of them onboard the same ship, johnny finding excuses to go see dorian, dorian thinking that johnny's flirting was just how he was and too afraid of ruining their friendship to actually make a move. if you asked johnny how long they had been together, he couldn't give you a date but he would tell you they had been together for ages. if you asked dorian, he would say they weren't that sort of together, not that he wouldn't like to be of course, but he didn't think johnny liked him like that.
eventually someone told john that dorian didn't think they were together and johnny realized that oh, they hadn't actually talked about it, had they? he'd just assumed they were going at dorian's pace but apparently that wasn't so. so they talked, and dorian was so happy he cried, and there was a lot of laughter from the cabin that dorian used as his little base of operations.
dorian is still flustered every time that johnny says he loves him, unable to believe his good fortune. johnny reminds him often.
todays characters are johnny "long dong" silver and dorian brackenborough from my pirate campaign!
so starting with johnny, he is a very charismatic individual, long greying hair and eyes that sparkle with mischief. he's the bosun of the main pirate ship in this campaign. johnny silver is a trans man, the nickname "long dong" referring to his old, frankly huge packer. He has since transitioned with the help of a wizard with true polymorph but the packer still shows up around the ship because some of the crewmates find it funny to just hide it somewhere until someone finds it. "long dong's on the loose" is a phrase heard more often than one might think.
dorian brackenborough is the ship's doctor. he was a medical student when he first met johnny and he fell hard and fast. he's quiet, gentle, not the type for piracy really. still, when johnny asked him if he wanted to join up, he couldn't say no.
johnny and dorian are now together and have been for quite some time. they are still idiots for each other, though. johnny loves to call dorian all sorts of pet names, though darling is a favorite to the point that some folks just call dorian "johnny's darling" or "johnny darling" because it always makes him blush. johnny also, much to dorian's annoyance, has a tendency to hurt himself just for an excuse to see his boyfriend.
anyhow, they are in love and i love them dearly.
