oh wow so glad to see you have a tumblr! your art is amazing and i was wondering if you could tell us a bit about your oc ipos? she has to be my favorite design of yours but how did she die? was she a werebear before or is that recent? if she's a hollow one is she trying to get her soul back? :0 sry if that's too many questions!

Ohh I’m so glad you like her! She was my first DnD character, so her story is a little lackluster tbh. I by far didn’t think I’d stick to DnD as long as I did, but here we are–

also, exciting since… I haven’t actually gotten to write more in-depth responses in a while, having used Twitter for a good while.

Basically, I went the vampire route, she was born human, and she chugged some bear gods blood when she was young because she was a big bug fan growing up, and thought that it would give her the ability to speak with them, due to being the only other person she knew growing up being rather reluctant to talk much. (I keep forgetting how simple and silly her reason was to do this)

The blood itself didn’t quite “kick in” and she just assumed it failed and moved on, but when she was killed later by the person she lived with (who went vampire apeshit, which is why she got the bitemarks), she came back in the hybrid form (according to DM 1500 years later-) and now seems to be in somewhat of a symbiotic relationship.

This was at least the layout I gave the DM, but at this point, I’m not sure how true some of this information is anymore.

Some stuff the creature she merged with stated, seemed to relate to the remains of a dying/dead god that is trying to get away from its original body, due to the original body it came from being corrupted by something fiendish, seemingly trapped in some dark cavern…

Atm, I got a bit of a theory that her shift might actually be a genetic thing, but I haven’t quite gotten the full conclusion of all that yet. Basically recently she saw her (supposedly) father in a painting, however, he had his eyes closed… which could either serve as a hint or a false bait laid out by the Dungeon Master.

Idk too much on the state of her soul atm :‘0 but I remember the DM referring to her soul being rather the opposite to gone, but possibly rather resilient instead. So no idea tbh.

As well as some pieces made to illustrate the “mindscape” or visions that basically displayed her and the being she is merged with interacting.

Additionally, there is this piece done by @rema-rin which I rather like for it as well-
