I live with several severe autoimmune conditions. If I don’t get back to you right away, it’s probably because I’m not feeling well.
I recently played a Drow Gloom Stalker Ranger with an Archaeologist background. He mostly used a long bow in combat but his favored weapon and tool was his trusty bullwhip. He was a professor of archaeology at the local university but often left to hunt down relics and explore ancient civilizations within the underdark.
His name is Jondai Esnian. It took 5 sessions of play before i could no longer stand the suspense and had to inform my group that Jondai Esnian is an anagram for Indiana Jones.
Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
A warlock of Juiblex who keeps an Oblex Spawn in their bag. In combat they always attempt to knock enemies unconscious, then allows the oblex to feast on their memories.
I have a ships' Captain that is a Centaur, and a Gold Elf Magic User that has a golden red skin color. I thought about if a Giraffe as a warrior would be playable.
Once again this is an NPC rather than a PC. In fact it's two of them, in an inn.
The bard, Will Tocking, who is extremely sarcastic and mocking but brings business to the joint and the locals like him, so he stays.
The long-suffering dwarven bartender, Beor Twinbeard, who is forever being mocked and having the mickey taken out of him by Will. As a result, Beor is actually immune to Vicious Mockery, purely because whatever you say to him, he's had worse from Will!
I once played a halfling cleric of Olidimmara back in a 3.5 campaign that was a lot of fun. The game ended after just a few sessions due to a change in the DM's work schedule, but Kaldair, as he was named, was definitely memorable. The adventure was taking place in a dominantly human kingdom where other races were fairly uncommon aside from the occasional traveling elf, so he was an oddity to begin with. He also had a riding dog named Hulk that was, stylistically, a big standard poodle. Furthermore, despite having the trickery domain and skills associated with it, tended to roll poorly on those most of the time.
Despite quickly becoming the party weirdo, Kaldair did make friends quickly with two if his six party-mates. The first was the barbarian amazon who he spent a battle hiding behind and healing while she tanked an entire pack of worgs as the rest of the party dealt with the wizard that had summoned them. To be fair, Kaldair just felt it wise to keep the big screaming sword lady (a) between him and the things with the really big teeth and (b) healthy enough to keep swinging that big sword of hers at the things with the scary teeth, but she took a liking to him nonetheless. He also befriended the party rogue, whom he immediately identified as one of his people, being a priest of a god known as the Laughing Rogue. The party rogue was a twelve year old human girl (small size and ability penalties applied for being a child). She was also a chaotic evil little psychopath with the stated ambition of becoming an assassin, and the otherwise good/neutral party tolerated her because she was useful at disarming traps and surprising enemies who generally didn't expect the cute little child to shank them (for her part she did know well enough to not push her luck by actively double crossing her only allies). As the rogue's player said of Kaldair, "I'm keeping two lists, and you're on the good one."
The last session we played before the game ended due to the schedule issues I mentioned ended in a cliffhanger in a busy tavern full of people, including other adventurers and well off merchants and their heavily armed guards. The rogue had tried to swipe a merchant's coin purse and rolled poorly, getting caught in the act. Kaldair quickly went over to attempt to diffuse the situation with some smooth talk and I rolled a 2 for my diplomacy check with the NPC, who's attitude was understandably ruled as being hostile, so even a good charisma score and ranks in the skill didn't help. Seeing her little buddy in a dangerous looking situation alongside the troublesome brat, the barbarian came over like a protective older sibling and tried to stare down the merchant's guard. After a brief and heated exchange which included a dismal bluff check on my part and nothing much better from the other two PCs, I decided that that was where Kaldair would figure he'd done the best he could and it was now time to extricate himself in expedient fashion. I also took this opportunity to share with the party the new spell I had access to as a cleric with the trickery domain who had just hit level 3 (invisibility). The rest of the players (who had been watching with interest to see if we could get ourselves out of the situation we'd dug ourselves progressively deeper into) started shaking their heads and facepalming as the DM announced "And the halfling disappears! That's not suspicious at all!" And the session ended there.

This Mug immediately shared with me a transcendental tale of an Infinite Mug that anchors the Universe and keeps it from folding in on itself. I filed this report under "illogical nonsense" and asked why its sign is in Times New Roman font, when it is basic knowledge that Arial Black is a far superior font. I wondered: How did this mug even get past the assembly line with its theistic beliefs and poor font choices?
quote from Romantically Apocalyptic byVitaly S Alexius
I had a Character, Frank(ie). She grew up as an apprentice to a war mage on an extended war campaign. Because she was a teen girl on the march for years, her master disguised her as a girl. So, she grew up around all of the men talking about and seeing the terrible things that they would do to women during the spoils of war. Once she became an adult, she decided that men were too terrifying and decided to stay a man. She also lived in a country where unregistered mages were hunted and killed. So all of her spells were designed to not have visual effects to hide her identity as a wizard. Divination wizard, (he) worked as a tarot reader and his spell book was a deck of cards. The campaign was a political affair where we were trying to take down some powerful houses and that were deeply entrenched with the slavers guilds. Frankie was also a pyromaniac. But did not use magic to destroy with fire. Every place that she went that was involved with the slavers guild, she put to the torch, usually by tossing any lamp or torch she could find on the ground.
They eventually caught up with her and she died on a massive damage roll with a crit roll with two mirror images still up after she had tried to tank a boss fight because all of the melee charters were being idiots.
Frankielives is still a part of several passwords I use.
Calvin the Immortal Crab God! So, basically, he's a crab. He was also made by the Gods. And he can't be killed. He doesn't help the party he's just there for comedic affect.

One of mine like that is just a goose. It can show up literally anywhere, even if there's no good reason for it to be there, it can escape any prison the party puts it in while they aren't looking (without damaging or unlocking it at all), if they kill it, it just shows up again later (though there's no way to tell it's actually the same goose), and scrying doesn't work on it. At all. If you try, you just get an empty room. If a cleric asks their deity about it or something, the deity has no idea the goose even exists. This is bound to cause an uproar once the players find out, as they try to figure out why it's immune to scrying, but the truth is, it's just there to mess with them.
I've always wanted to have a poisoner kind of character, but the game has not made one all that easy to make. However, with Tasha's and Fizban's, I was able to make one that works alright. Rusk is a green dragonborn battle master fighter. He has the poisoner feat, which he uses to put venom on his tomahawks (a bit of homebrew, just a handaxe with the finesse and thrown properties). He goes into battle with a shield, slashing and throwing toxic tomahawks, and blasting his poison breath weapon while preforming disarms, trips, and other maneuvers.

I played a one shot for a friend's birthday party and he made everyone's characters for us. Mine was a chaotic evil owlfolk bloodhunter who was adorable. I made his backstory that he was a lich in a previous life who was killed but reincarnated as a cute owlfolk but kept his evil personality. Me and another player named him Fuzzy Watchamacallit. I ended up burning down a town, crashing a wedding, disrupting the peace, and starting a tavern fight. Fun times
