H e l l o f r i e n d
This is Hollis! He's a Drow Artificer! He's pretty arrogant, but that's what happens when you grow up the prodigious son of the most affluential mage family of the Underdark. However, he wasn't particularly interested in magic and decided to take up engineering, essentially. Not finding much support in terms of knowledge or supplies to start his new area of study, he headed to the surface lands. His hope is to bring the world into an age of technological enlightenment.
Despite his lofty goals and prestigious bloodline, he tends to have a chip on his shoulder, especially because his family wasn't exactly supportive of his life choices. He tries his best to keep face, but ends up coming off as cold, a control freak, and a workaholic. He's especially bad at pacing himself with work, and will often pull multiple all-nighters without pausing for food or breaks. He also rarely has much in the way of
stuff since he only buys the most quality of items, even if that means he can barely afford enough to survive the month.
($20 chair for the house and $80 for food a month? More like $80 for a high quality chair and $20 for food a month.)
He really just needs someone to force him to take a nap, honestly.
(Also he's got some art in his bio!)
This is Thunder Jaw aka TJ, my Dragonborn Barbarian!
TJ was stolen as an egg, and grew up as a sideshow attraction in a not-so-ethical-circus. She was treated more like an animal, given the name "Thunder Jaw" due to her breath weapon, which she was often forced to show off in her performances. She mostly did feats of strength, and if she refused to perform, she was punished horribly. Eventually she and a bunch of other sideshow attractions broke free and ran away to start a new life for themselves. Since they didn't know any other life but the circus life, they just started their own, much nicer, circus. TJ mostly acts as a bouncer, keeping patrons in line. Because of her horrible past, she has some anger issues, loves fighting, and the bigger her challenger is, the more amped to fight she becomes. On the flipside, she is fiercely loyal to her circus family, and when separated from them, becomes extremely anxious.
There's some art in her bio too!
This is Adrian, my Dhampir monk!
Adrian hasn't had a great past, losing two homes and families due to certain events he won't talk about. He adamantly hides his Dhampir features, and has a practiced excuse for any weakness he has, as well as being able to speak in a way where he doesn't open his mouth wide enough for people to notice his fangs. He's a career wanderer, living in poverty and never sticking to one place for every long. He survives by doing odd jobs, from manual labor or bodyguard duty. He is aloof, extremely polite, and kind to everyone around him. While he is eager to help those around them, and has no issue joining parties, it's really hard to get to know him deeper than casual acquaintances. Regardless, he won't hesitate to give his all to protect others. But oddly, he shoves himself into danger quite often, even when it might not be necessary...
He's also got an entire playlist, link in his bio. Its mostly melancholy piano, haha.
