Characters

One of the things I enjoy about role-playing games (like D&D) is getting to create characters. Beyond the "stats" needed to play the game, I enjoy spending lots of time developing their personality and backstory. After I have finished creating a character, the final step is to draw a picture of what they look like.

As a bit of a change from what I usually post, I thought I would share my collection of character portraits!



Thea was my very first character. She has changed a lot over the years and the three campaigns she has been through. She started out as a fledgling bard on a journey of self-discovery, and grew into a highly skilled and confident diplomat and entertainer who presides over her own inn and can hold her own in any fight.



Alexsey is a paladin, created from the premise, "What if Boromir hadn't died, but instead had to roam the world, never returning home?" I created an original backstory for him, but it contains familiar elements, like a good heart, a powerful artifact, and a tragic failing.



Rahel, a mysterious assassin, came to an untimely end in a perilous labyrinth ... or was that really the end of her story?



Nivara, a reclusive wood-elf, is traveling with two rangers to the City of the Dead in an attempt to end the mysterious plague that is destroying their forest.



Amelia Greenbottle is a hobbit grandma who got restless and decided to go adventuring. She may look old and fragile, but she is not an opponent to be trifled with!



Roywyn Ellywick Lorilla Tana Timbers (more commonly known as "Fnipper") has an enthusiasm for life that borders on ridiculous. She may be small, but the size of her vibrant personality makes up for that!



Rosalia is one of eleven children born to a poor "hobbit" family. She loves having fun and enjoying art, but most of all she is determined to be a successful musician.



My newest character, traveling under the name Lander, is the grandchild of a famous dragon-hunter-turned-traitor. After receiving death threats, Lander is trying to lay low, but they cannot escape the festering desire to restore their family's broken honour.
