spyrosbaldr Posted August 24, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 24, 2023 AMARILIS PALMARI Faun to be Around D&D Beyond Sheet (8th Level) Race Tiefling (Variant) Class Warlock Age 28 Pronouns She/Hers Height 5'11 Weight 142 Hair Mahogony Eyes Jade Background Native of Gloralion Alignment Chaotic Good "If you thought that prank was good, this next one's a real doozy." Appearance Surely you've seen her - the lemon-yellow tiefling? Horns decorated like a faun's? Laugh's loud as a hag but half as shrill? That's Amarilis. Her elven-made robes are vibrant and textured splashes of greens, yellows, and browns. As a tiefling, she rarely travels alone - whether in the company of friends or being "escorted" into or out of places for her heritage. Oddly, she seems the most uncomfortable around elves. Amarilis's traveling gear is full of pockets, hidden storage spaces, and usually locked (magically or otherwise). She doesn't talk about her past very much, but when most people don't ask questions, it's easy to leave out the details. Personality Traits Trait 1: Okay, so I was privy to knowledge and experiences few had. But I am just another person like you. Trait 2: I don't rush. What is time? It's an abstract concept, meaningless to me. Ideals Ideal 1: Protection. Safety and security are what I strive to attain for myself and others. (Good) Ideal 2: Secrecy. Staying hidden is staying safe. (Any) Flaws Flaw 1: I get lost in art and song to the detriment of what I should be doing. Flaw 2: Having been in the Summervale, I can't be happy living anywhere else. I just want to go back. Bonds Bond: My time in Gloralion taught me that magic infuses everything. I need to learn more about magic. Background Biography Place of Birth: Summervale Home: Wherever the road leads next Parents: Unknown father (assumed Lord of Lust), Lobelia Cirana (mother, alive) Siblings: None Current Love: None, but looking Lost Love: None that she truly cared for, but there remain several Gloralion elhil of a variety of genders that caught her attention... Children: None Current Age: 36 Best Friend: <insert party member here> Worst Enemy: The Lords of Sin, with special respect to the Lord of Lust Greatest Regret: Not leaving the Summervale prior to her adolescence, for that is when her tiefling heritage reared its head. Backstory Say what you will about the children of Gloralion - they are spoiled, sheltered, soft, enlightened, fanciful, so on and so forth. At the very least, they are wanted. Kept safe from the horrors in the cities. So too was Amarilis. Though she never knew her father, her mother Lobelia raised her to be observant, witty, and well-spoken - she would not have her only child be without grace or poise in social situations. Despite the studying, the training, and the culture, time was against her. At the age of sixteen, Amarilis sprouted horns and a tail, her pupils becoming as a goat's. Though she had been afraid of this day, Lobelia knew it would come. And as she feared, Gloralion cast her daughter out - ostracized to the Belendale, where Amarilis encountered a messenger from Tanis: a sprite named Pixel. While not herself a believer in destiny, Amarilis learned that Pixel had been sent by some lord or lady from the Feywild for her, to be present at this exact moment. Previous Adventure On a mountain pass, hidden by weather and winding roads, lies what appears to be an abandoned manor house. The party had been tasked to deliver a missive to a mage named Picolai Lesta stationed there, hopefully with a response from him - or at the very least, confirmation that the worst had occurred and whatever experiments he was concocting had brought about his demise. Despite the wind and the chill and the remoteness, the path to the manor itself had been maintained... At the doors leading into the entranceway, they were met by a disembodied voice - a helpful, somewhat ignorant, person named Sam. Sam knew the mage; however, they hadn't spoken in some time - and provided the party respected the experiments and the house, they were allowed inside. The furniture, the foyer, the stairwell - it looked lived in, but not in disarray. Sam, it turned out, was a magical construct in the form of a metallic-and-wooden orb. They were inquisitive and witty, and surprisingly respectful; it was clear that Sam lacked a moral compass, but seemed to consider ethics an important area of study. This became an important topic of conversation as the party passed the greenhouse behind the manor, where Sam had used the bodies of two trespassers as fertilizer for the plants therein. Lesta, in the end, had been found dead by the party in the manor's basement. He had been making adjustments to a component (without wearing proper protective gear) when a stray arc of arcane energy erupted outward, killing him instantly. The basement had been warded to keep Sam out, nor could Sam scry into it like the rest of the house - upon learning of their creator's death, Sam lamented not being able to assist. A journal, kept in Lesta's drawer in the basement, noted that SAM was an acronym - Sapient Autonomous Machina - and the component was the final piece to a humanoid body for SAM to live in. Unlike other constructs, SAM was not given magical instructions or commands; they were able to think and reason and react on their own. Bards across Farland tell the end of this story differently: some say the party killed SAM and burned down the manor, not letting such a clearly unethical experiment run free; others say they gave the component to SAM and let them choose whether to finish their own body.

spyrosbaldr Posted August 24, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted August 24, 2023 Vignette "We're almost there, keep your eyes closed - hey! I see you trying to peek!" Amarilis walked behind Adelbert with her hands covering the elf's face, giggling and grinning. She had found a spot with the most amazing view of Gloralion - from a low enough branch to climb on, but high enough on the tree to see over the rooftops straight to the fountain at the center of the city. This was a game for the two of them, usually reserved for pranks and jests and japery - Adelbert had a habit of showing Amarilis rude drawings which she countered with crude gestures. This was a first for both of them, something wholesome and tender and sweet in the curiosity of their adolescence. "Can you fault me for trying?" Bert offered; Amarilis swore she heard the smirk on his face under her hands. "Sure can. You know the rules - no peeking 'til we get there. Besides, it's only a few more steps." Just outside the city, the pair arrived at the tree. Amarilis released Bert and tapped his shoulder twice - the signal to open his eyes. As she did, she made a face, pulling down her eyelids and sticking out her tongue. Bert recoiled in mock disgust for a moment, and the two of them shared a laugh. She pointed out the branch, and the two of them climbed. "You obviously didn't bring me out here just to make faces. What's up here?" "Shush, you'll see - just a bit further." They reached the branch, and as expected, the view captivated Bert. He'd seen his home for decades, but only from the ground - up here, he could see the reflection of the sun on the gold of the fountain in the streets, see the throngs of people walking carefree. He turned to Amarilis, about to remark on the sight of the city... and that's when he noticed her pupils. The nubs of horns about to sprout from her forehead. "What's wrong, Bert? Is something in my teeth?" she asked nervously, her mouth filled with sharp, carnivorous teeth that she definitely didn't have on the walk to here. Bert fell from the tree.
