Played A DnD One-shot With PJO Lore. One Day I'll Run Such Game On Scion 2e System, But For Now, Here

Played a DnD one-shot with PJO lore. One day I'll run such game on Scion 2e system, but for now, here is my PC. Son of Aphrodite (yeah, he dressed up like he isn't), or more specifically, son of Aphrodite Areia, Todd. He spent like half of the game magically charmed by sirens and that sucked for him, but he had also visited aquapark for the first time in his life, so it kinda evens out, eheh. Don't worry, Todd, one day you'll find your true love, just chill for now 😌

So. Uhm. Remember MtAs one-shot I've storytelled months ago?

There was an NWO agent who was really close to becoming one of Technephandi.

Well, my players managed to redeem him. And get him away from Technocracy for a while. So he has spent some time with Cult of Ecstacy of all people. And now he's one of them.

He's currently on a run from both Technocracy and Traditions, because the former is obviously not glad about the betrayal and potential information leak and the latter would like to "ask him a few questions" since not every day MiB turns Ecstatic, they need to make sure he's not a double agent and also get some information about Technocracy from him. And he doesn't want to give any information to anyone, he wants to be left alone. Oh, and also Technephandi are curious about where has he disappeared to as well, but they haven't caught up on the latest events or his traces. Yet.

For now he stays with one of Ecstatic loners and desperately searches for a way to blackmail each and every organisation looking for him in a way which will allow him to have some peace. Good luck for him, I guess. I mean, he has a chance since I, the Storyteller, am rooting for him. I blame my players for making me really invested in life on an NPC who was meant to die at the end of the one-shot. What a bunch of people 🙄 /affectionate

So yeah. Have a weird conceptual piece about personal growth and putting yourself in danger for it. From NWO agent to almost Technephandi to Ecstatic. What an insane character arc.

May I interest you in my fast doodles with potential sinner OCs, which were made ridiculously early in the game while I haven't known anything? Yeah, these two need a redesign and a rewrite... My goal for the near future is to finally get into lcb properly and rework them.

Anyways, here are Winston from 1984 and Ted from IHNAIMS... I thought about how in 1984 love was a huge deal and how it got messed up and replaced in, ironically, Ministry of Love; and then I thought about how in IHNAIMS hate was a huge deal (AM's monologue, do I need to say anything else?), and this weird duo was born in my head.

But yeah, this is probably pretty bad in terms of canonical designs and designs in general pft. So expect a redesign later, hopefully. I just wanted to post them like this for now 😌

Kiasyd and Dauntain, two NPCs for my now cancelled Changing oneshot, who are sticking together, because Kiasyd has Dauntain's phylactery (I'm using C20 lore). Their duo has pretty unhealthy dynamic, Dauntain heavily dislikes Kiasyd but he can't do anything about it, and Kiasyd simply uses him for her own protection. Also as a hunter, so Dauntain catches humans for her to eat and other changelings for her to study – a role Dauntain also heavily dislikes.

Despite all that, I like to think that over centuries, Dauntain will reincarnate and after some lives will be able to restore his Kithain self (that's where I don't use C20 lore, I hate the idea of irredeemable Dauntain) and will become an Unseelie Piskie once again. And Kiasyd, living through all those centuries, will learn to protect herself. And so, in modern nights these two will be able to hold a conversation without hostility.

P. S. A bit of lore once more: Dauntain has those patchy hair and a blue-ish brown eyes, because since he's a Piskie, his appearance tries to change in order to appeal to his social circle. And since these two live in a middle of the forest (read: nowhere), Dauntain has only Kiasyd and people they catch to serve as Kiasyd's meal around. So his appearance slowly starts to mimic that of fiance whom Kiasyd had when she was alive. She misses that man a lot. Of course, Dauntain's subconscious mimicry makes their relationship with Kiasyd even worse then they are already.

Local redcap and sluagh being siblings towards each other day 6171819101192633. No, literally. These two have been self-proclaimed brother and sister since like their second life as changelings. They have been siblings for centuries now, in different bodies and circumstances. They have also been a pair of menaces to everyone else for centuries as well 😌

I made myself a lame Reverse 1999 OC, so that every gacha I'm currently playing could have an OC for me to obsess over

This is Alexei Kashtanov (his surname is based on Russian for chestnuts fyi), and this is not his real name. He is originally from 1960s, USSR (sorry I'm too dumb to do the whole "an arcanist's work exhibited" thing), where he was actually a spy for USA, since, y'know, Cold War and things. His spying business was actually discovered and if not for the Storm and St. Pavlov Foundation saving him, his story would have ended very very very badly.

He's currently working as a spy again, this time for the Foundation, trying to infiltrate Manus Vindictae. His arcane skill is changing his own physiology (like slowing heartbeat or stopping pain signals from coming through to his brain), but I'm not sure whether it's a good idea in canon terms or not, so I accept criticism and suggestions.

Also. Red socks on men >>>>>> . That's it that's the post.
