Bravis Ironhyld was born to a mining family in a small coal mining town in a border region of Zarindra. He was always different from his kindred, seeming to have a bit of strangeness and oddity about his personage, odd things would happen around him often, and eventually it was put together that he was....to many, a freak. He was a Weaveling, born touched by magick, and though this was not a good nor a bad thing, it made him...strange. Bullied often growing up, he learned to talk with his hands and his feet, and ended up in all kinds of trouble. Yet strong of spirit he refused to let being bullied turn him calloused, and as he grew, he rebelled against being a miner, and instead took to patrolling the regions around his town with a local guild of huntsmen and militia, oft seen sometimes as ne'er do wells, though more than once they helped protect their home from threats of monsters, raiders, highwaymen, as well as helping during disasters. Two years previous Bravik lost his younger brother to a collapse in the town's coal mine, a shaft caved in after support beams gave way. Bravik went into that unstable tunnel four times to pull out miners, and to his brother's credit, the younger dwarf prioritized getting his men out, even knowing there was likely no chance the makeshift escape route would hold long enough to get all of them out. Bravik risked his life to go back four times even as the escape tunnel was giving way, and nearly was buried himself. Ever since he's held the respect of his neighbors. However his home of Smokestone no longer feels like home, not since burying his younger brother. Bravik feels a deeper longing for the road, and as such, he spent the last year of his life paying an old veteran soldier for private lessons at arms, and scraped together the coin for a breastplate, some decent travel kit, a bit of mail, and a proper, if rather plain, halberd. He's since taken to the adventuring life, traveling and working as a mercenary of sorts, an adventuring sort for hire, though he knows better than to not return home every now and again however. He owes his family still left that much.

Can never go wrong with a tragic backstory! Bravik sounds like a brave (perhaps too brave) soul, definitely fit for the life of a traveller.

Have a wonderful day!

Meet Zax, an adorable violet inkling with glowing gold eyes, and a heart for chaos! They live in Khastoro, where they love sow seeds of chaos in the name of Atharon! Zax has also found themself at home in a witch coven, using runesmith magic to enhance their abilities beyond mere words and hand gestures. The longer they stayed with the witch coven, the faster they seemed to find themselves drawn toward a trio of hags that livid hidden in the forest. Zax ventured close, stealing a beautiful antler crown that they placed upon their head, and to their surprise, the crown would not come off. They were now touched by hex magic and gifted a wonderful new array of chaotic spells to choose from!   They don't remember much of their history, losing most of their memory when they traveled too far from their home and got attacked by a strange monster. When they awoke, Zax couldn't remember much, other than their name, where they came from, and that they could use magic. Casting magic was a charm that Zax found so much enjoyment in. Even without their memories, Zax found themself drawn to their former god. They quickly took to reaping chaos around them. However, causing chaos to libraries or books always made Zax feel...strange.   Recently, they have started to keep a diary, something that could potentially help them recover their memory....and perhaps discover who their creator may be.

I'd probably let Zax get away with all the chaos they sow, they sounds very loveable. Though I can't help but wonder what their creator, whoever they may be, would think about what Zax is up to now. Thanks for creating & sharing your character!

Have a wonderful day!

Veylan, a Guardian from Aurelle, is, ultimately, a gigantic little shit of a problem for the people who care about him.   Beginning with a stunt that got their spirit separated from their body, and ending with a rather strange fascination with pamphlets that suggest starting an amphorae emporium (other pamphlets are available, or so he says).   He has since travelled away from home, to the distant lands of the next town over because he started too late in the day and was tired when he got there, but in this short time, he has endeavoured to become the paragon of guardians. That was quickly gainsaid by a fellow traveller who took one look at him and asked him where his parents were, but his attitude and fleeting persistence remain!

"A gigantic little shit of a problem for the people who care about him." Hmmm.... sounds vaguely familiar. Can't quite place my finger on who this reminds me of.
Anyways, thank you for making & sharing your character!

Have a wonderful day!

If it helps, I can't quite place your finger on who it reminds you of either

Pirate, scoundrel, full of a careful charm and a endless rage. Shareen Heelspur always lived in and around the Chasbren Archipeligo, to two nether do well parents. Life being what it was, she lost her parents to pirate treachery, and so when she could, she slipped from the crew she was with, to a new crew and a trust for noone. Fast and nimble, she puts herself first in any situation, looking for the right boon from the right god so she can slip the knife between the ribs of those that killed her family. It has been many decades since she set this goal, but the seas are wide and her prey is hard to get to.

Something something, sentient cat sized centipede pet?

Oooh, a pirate with a revenge quest, I love it! Thank you for using my character creator, and for sharing about your character :D

Have a wonderful day!

Poke us more if when we can get cosmetic pets

Apr 3, 2025 16:47 by spleen

Hmmmm... I could be tempted to add a "choose your pet/familliar" article, perhaps. And some art to go with it could be fun to make.

Have a wonderful day!

I don't have the brain power to expand on my character at the moment, but I loved exploring this and making one. The fact it fills in a character sheet is so fun.   In your home of Dostros: You are a mage, studied in magic and specialising in one of its nine colours. As a human, you have many talents. As a scholar, you use the knowledge you have learned to strengthen these skills. You follow Lillon, goddess of humans and balance. You believe that maintaining the natural order of all things is what will allow Dulūn to thrive.
