Ravoxan Imrean

Ravoxan Imrean
   Draconic Sorcerer

Dragonborn

Personality Traits

I’ve been isolated for so long that I rarely speak, preferring gestures and the occasional grunt. I often get lost in my own thoughts and contemplation, becoming oblivious to my surroundings.

Ideals

Live and Let Live. Meddling in the affairs of others only causes trouble. (Neutral)

Bonds

I entered seclusion because I loved someone I could not have.

Flaws

I like keeping secrets and won’t share them with anyone.

Personality Traits

My favor, once lost, is lost forever. Despite my noble birth, I do not place myself above other folk. We all have the same blood.

Ideals

Independence. I must prove that I can handle myself without the coddling of my family. (Chaotic)

Bonds

Nothing is more important than the other members of my family.

Flaws

I hide a truly scandalous secret that could ruin my family forever.

Sorcerer 101

Sorcerer 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Innate Magic

You are a sorcerer. Magic courses through your veins, and you alone have the power to control it. You were born with this power, even if you only recently discovered it. Perhaps it first manifested when you were angry, and sparks flew from your fingertips, or when you were scared and you seemed to melt into the shadows. The magic within you is alive, and it could come from anywhere. Some sorcerers trace their magic back to a powerful ancestor, like a dragon, a celestial, or a djinni. Others can delineate their magic to an extraplanar source, such as the shrouded lands of the Shadowfell, or the roiling chaos of Limbo.

Beginner's Guide to Innate Magic

[unintelligible screaming]

my mom is going to try D&D tomorrow

She’s a Tiefling Sorcerer & when asked how long she would like sessions to be, her answer was, “Let’s try a half hour,”

So I (the DM) have 30 minutes, what’s a good hook?

That's all for now! Maybe I'll write out some of their stories later, or maybe just as they show up in the story. ^^ A few of them are inspired by Critical Role, and some of them don't even really have backstories yet, haha.

But! I will say that there's an Easter egg in here. . . can you find it?

Festival Participants

I've arranged a tribute to Kord in the form of a fighting festival! I figured that, since one of my players just wants to attack/kill things, he'd be a fantastic champion of Kord, er, maybe? Cheers for trying?
