OOC STUFF

ok fellas, here's the situation:

- you've been trapped in the shitty valley of barovia by a megalomaniac vampire who is obsessed with one of his subjects (read more here or honestly just ask me if you want more info)
- the megalomaniac likes to play with his food
- so do the powers that be here
- the gods cannot help you
- your gods can't even contact you
- you're not getting out any time soon (the mists are poisonous and will kill you)
- (maybe) you have a modern character that you now have to establish a full dnd/fantasy au for
- what does your character do in this situation

use this post to give people a jumping off point for that, and also to get to know each other/plot stuff maybe

Zhulong

[seemagicshit]

Zhulong is an orange tiefling with a pair of broken horns, yellow eyes and black hair. He's the party's main source of combat magic as they trek through Strahd's version of Castlevania.

At the campaign start, he's busy trying to scam gold off people doing card readings. He's inadvertently brought on the journey, starting off sticking with the party due to convenience. However, somewhere along the way he grew more of conscience, got stolen and tortured by his long lost dad, set his dad ON FIRE in revenge and found out about his connection to the Vistani, among other things.

His criminal background does give him better insight into certain situations, but he's leaning more and more toward the side of good and even heroism with examples like Ichiban and Sir Godfrey to look up to. Along with gaining more compassion, he's gained more in magical ability. To the point that there is something out there that is pleased with his prowess with Dimension Door and he just teleported like Nightcrawler for the first time. The DM won't say who is pleased, so place your bets.

He's one of the more charismatic members of the party, whose silver tongue allowed Vasilka to join their dysfunctional band. He wasn't as close to Ireena at first, but they did have a bit of a sibling like bond. And due to dreams that might have been connections to past lives, perhaps there's a reason they had that kind of bond...

To sum up his actual character arc, he's gone from "I don't really give a shit" to "Hold up, actually I think I do."

Ah, we love a criminal background.
