Marion Mournsong has spent most of his long life in service to Myrkul, believing that death is the only honest force in the world. Born among the duergar, he found purpose not in clan or kin, but in the quiet certainty of the grave.

Leoneak Snowpad is harder to spot than a shadow against the night sky. 'The Horny Bastards' swear he helps them, but none of them are really sure how - the only indication that Leoneak is there is when Fiends start dropping with arrows piercing their hearts.

Rurik is a prince in exile, and with the news of the death of his brother, looks to be next in line for the throne. All of this had been pushed to the wayside, as Rurik had committed to losing himself upon the road.

Aurkayn has lived long enough to see the cost of war firsthand. As leader of the Dhyrtalrak clan, he commanded armies in defense of the Platinum Expatriate with discipline and precision, earning a reputation as a peerless general and the title of the Iron Dragon.

I thought I’d share a few of my favourite recent Party Lineups - These are included when multiple Character Cards are commissioned.

It's nice to think somewhere out there, each party is playing its own unique campaign - advancing the plot, making questionable decisions, and hoarding magic items.

Kurlayn lost his parents young and was taken in by Aurkayn, who trained him and raised him as a son. As Aurkayn’s heir, Kurlayn is expected to follow directly in his footsteps, a role that has left little room for him to be seen as anything other than a successor.

Ophelia learned magic the hard way, sneaking into locked libraries, copying spells by hand, and teaching herself what the gatekeepers refused to share. She has little patience for wizardly prestige, preferring quiet study and practical magic earned through long nights of reading.

Edwin found the sword half-buried under an old bridge, its metal dull and ordinary. It didn’t speak to him until years later, when he drew it in a fight he had no business being in. Since then, the blade has pushed him toward bolder choices, convinced he’s meant for more.

Serafina grew up handling practical problems for woodland communities - settling boundary disputes, tracking dangerous beasts, and dealing with people who took more from the forest than they should have.

Banganagan was raised to lead, as elder females are among gnolls, with an expectation of judgment, restraint, and follow-through. She turned to the family’s older summoning practices, learning how to bind spirits and weigh opposing forces rather than relying on steel.

Sen never meant to become an adventurer. She started as a simple messenger, then realized there was serious money in courier work for magical artifacts - fast delivery, no questions, total discretion.

Amara Zervas is a monk of the Cobalt Soul whose parents vanished when she was five. Raised and trained in the archives, her later research into a Tharizdun cult led her into the influence of the Cerberus Assembly, where she was manipulated into becoming a Volstrucker.

When a fallen order took Dirk in as an oddity and a curiosity, Dirk embraced their creed with absolute sincerity, seeing knighthood as a way to become more than what he was expected to be.

Keigkon von Kane walks the thin line between hunter and herald, bound to a dracoling whose kind is older than the forests they nest in.

As a Paladin of Lathander, Braem believes the Dawn is not about mercy without effort, but renewal earned through action. He has little patience for stagnation, cruelty, or those who profit from despair, and he meets each new day with deliberate resolve rather than optimism.

Flo values smart play, clear choices, and consequences that feel earned. He shares his DM duties with his two animal companions - Loki, an occasionally clumsy orange-and-white Maine Coon, and Luna, a Ragdoll who goes completely limp when picked up.

Deeangelo once laid down his oath after a lifetime of service, convinced he had earned the right to live quietly and let the world turn without him - but some promises don’t loosen their grip.

Looking back on the year - these were some of the characters that got the most love each month. 💚

Thanks to everyone who supported, shared, commissioned, or just quietly followed along.

I'm excited to keep building more characters with you in 2026!

Originally a druid, Phob’s life shifted on the eve of the empire’s invasion when a falling meteorite struck him down. He insists it definitely didn’t leave him irritable or violent, but the change was immediate all the same.

Din was born in Vallokore and ended up on the streets after their mother’s death, obsessed with tracking down the man they held responsible. Survival came first until they found work scrubbing floors at a temple of Valeyun, goddess of the moon and the hunt.

Nike's life began twice. Her first egg was rescued and raised by Boots in a kobold lair, where survival mattered more than lineage. That life ended too soon.
Boots spent his life stealing power from gods and dragons alike, and in the end used it all to reincarnate Nike, creating her egg anew.
