Sugar and Spite

Post a random fact about yourself.

@Kuro@HaleyTheRandom As it turns out, my 16-year-old son has asked me to put together a DnD campaign. I told him and his friends I could have it ready in a year. They are currently working on a campaign which will probably run through to October or November. THey play once a week for about three or four hours. I should be able to get it ready by then.

So far, I have a map; it is an island campaign. The map is not labeled yet. The Island setting contains sixteen major islands and several smaller scattered islands. They will need to purchase passage on a local ship to get from one to the other, until they unlock a portal system I am devising. But they will need to battle waves of undead to get that far.

The sixteen islands are inhabited by three human nations including Dwarves and Tieflings, an Elven nation, a Drow nation, a Dragonborn nation, a Hobgoblin nation, and an island of the undead.

The last time I played DnD was before I was married in 2002. WE used ver. 3.5 I need to look over ver 5 for this one.

@Gunther

That sounds so cool! You're such a great dad, Gunther. <3 I'd try to give some advice, but my group is using Pathfinder.

"One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk." — Charles Baudelaire, Paris Spleen

Name: Serena Felicity Delamar

_Nickname(s):

• Rena is the only nickname that Serena will listen to, unless you are someone very close to her - such as her cousin, Erin.
• Fel
• Li

Gender: Female.

Age: Twenty-three // December 17th // Sagittarius

Sexual Orientation: Polygamous Pan-sexual // Strong lean towards feminine qualities and traits.

Witch or Warlock: Witch.

Schools of Magic:

• Invocation (8): Serena has always been connected to the elements and the earth, but her specialty is fire. Since it was the first element she ever had a 'taste' of, Serena worked hard to master her craft when it came to such a wild thing. The source of her power comes from within, though she can make her powers stronger by siphoning off of other sources of energy (humans, phones, power lines, the earth, etc). She can do just about anything and everything she wants with fire (make weapons, walls, shields, etc).
  
  • Serena has also been working to control her powers over the wind.
• Enchantment (6)
  
  • Celeste adores to play games on the human mind. Imagine the joy when she learned her powers could help her do just that. Celeste likes to enchant random objects and leave them around town in order to cause chaos.
    
    • She can make one target at a time do whatever bidding she wishes. The target must be in her line of sight, and be able to hear her.
    • Serena can control the emotions of up to five people at once through her words - but again she must be able to see them, and they must be able to hear her.
    • Serena can control ONE target, via mind control, but must have eye contact with the target at the beginning of the spell. She usually does this to make someone feel like absolute shit. Having Serena 'inside' of your head is literal torture - and she'll see to it.

Personality:

♛ Possessive ♛ Arrogant ♛ Prideful ♛ Cunning ♛ Flirty ♛ Observant ♛ Creative

Upon meeting Serena, your first assumption may be that she is a shy person. While that’s far from the truth, Serena isn’t the most social person out there - often being called antisocial. She will greet you, and even carry on small talk - just don’t expect her to enjoy it very much.

The truth is, Rena spends most of her time locked inside of her own head - constantly writing in her journal and scribbling on spare pieces of paper. She's been caught talking to herself on many occasions. She's creative and artistic. This is all something you can tell right off hand if he decides to open up in the slightest.

While overall cold and uninviting, Serena tends to pick and choose her friends as those who calm her and/or bring joy. She values loyalty and honesty above almost all other things in life. While toxic and assholish, she does try to be a good person from time to time.

She is charming, stylish, and confident. Loyal, aggressive, and stubborn. Charismatic and daring, Serena is always searching for his next adrenaline fix .

Upon meeting her, you will notice the way that her eyes seem to watch your every move, as she tries to get a feel for your character. She's always curious about people, and how their minds work - forever studying those around her.

Serena can be a bit difficult to get along with. She's opinionated, strong willed, and when it comes to the select few people she allows to get close he can be possessive, territorial, and just outright toxic.

She's been trying to improve, but it’s not working in the slightest.

History/Bio:

• Father is Tiberius Delamar - tattoo artist to the stars. Hermother is Junie Baby Delamar - formerly Macmillian. She’s an amazing artist. They met in college. Fell in love. Traveled the world, got married, worked through dad’s drinking problem and had three children. Settled down in LA, before moving to Tanner when Serena was thirteen.
• While Ty did not know his wife was a witch, it didn't take long for Junie to come clean about her ancestry before they began having children. Ty himself was a magi - another group of magical beings related to witches, but governed by their own rules - so he was just thankful that his children inherited their mothers powers.
• Serena was mostly taught how to use and harness her powers by her parents. She also had the help of her aunt Jasper, and her cousin Erin to spar with. While living in LA, Junie would frequently take her children to the LA Coven branch to familiarize them with the laws and the ways of witches.
• Upon Serena turning thirteen, Junie and Ty decided that it would be best to move back home to Tanner, so that their children could learn from 'the best'.
• Growing up, Serena was known as the Big Titty Goth Bitch - much like her aunt. Her makeup and fashion looks often sparked jealousy from the other girls. Her hair was a different color every day from her wigs, and she refused to wear anything that wasn't the highest name brand for the longest time. She was known for being a 'player' - especially when it came to the ladies. Following in her fathers footsteps, Serena began drinking and getting into physical fights in high school.
• Upon graduating, Serena moved away to New York with her cousin Erin. Serena has worked as a lingerie model since high school, and has spent most of her free time traveling.
• Coming back to Tanner isn't really something that Serena wanted to do of her own. If it hadn't been for Erin also coming back, and both of her parents yelling at her - there's no way in hell she'd be here right now.

Extras:

• The house that she shares with her cousin, Erin.
• Despite her outward appearance, you’ll be shocked to find that Sereans room is decorated in both pastels, and lots of black.
• She’s obsessed with the Disney character, Stitch.
• She sings in the shower, and in the car. She has a pretty decent voice, but is to self conscious to sing in front of anyone.
• Serena is big on writing letters to people.
• Serena also keeps a journal full of short stories, cringey fan fiction, her thoughts, and even her own spicy fantasies.
• Her drink of choice is vodka. She also smokes weed.
• She loves, loves, loves roses.
• Likes the beach too, especially at sunset.
• Being an artist runs in the family. Serena began painting with acrylics at the age of seven, and eventually ventured out into oil paintings. She can also be found sketching on just about any surface. (Her arms, legs, jeans, etc are often covered with doodles - as well as her notebooks, journals, and sketchbooks). Most of the time she does her drawings in pencil, but does enjoy doing charcoal pieces as well.
• Serena works as a lingerie model, and sells some of her paintings on the side.
• Plays the piano, ukulele, guitar, and clarinet.
• Has a lot of tattoos.
  
  • A rose tattoo that starts between her breasts, and runs vertically down to her stomach.
  • The face of a tiger holding a woman in its mouth located on her right upper arm.
  • A plague doctors headpiece inside of a blooming rose, located on her upper right thigh.
  • Right above her previously listed tattoo is a quote in cursive that wraps around the front of her thigh. It says “No matter how hard you try, I’ll always belong in the sky.” It symbolizes and means nothing. She was drunk and liked the way that it sounded, so she slapped it on her body.
  • On her right leg, located under her knee, Serena has a few more tattoos. A moth with a skull on its back, an umbrella with raindrops falling beneath it, and another skull with a rose growing and blooming out of it.
  • Another tattoo in a cursive font, located underneath her right shoulder blade that says ”we’ve got obsessions.”
  • Her favorite Tattoo is the knife through a rose that she has on the inside of her upper right arm.
• Both of her earlobes are pierced twice.
• Industrial, helix, and daith piercings in her right ear as well.
• The left side of her nose is pierced.
• Most of Serena’s jewelry is either gold or platinum.
• Wears wigs and extensions to constantly change the color of her hair.

Kolby Jett Hawthorne

---

((FC: Ash Stymest // Dialogue color: 4BB181))

"“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” - Pablo Picasso

---

Name: Kolby Jett Hawthorne.

_{Nickname(s): Kole and J. He prefers Kolby.}

Gender: Male.

Age: Twenty-three // November 19th // Sagittarius

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual.

Witch or Warlock: Witch.

Schools of Magic:

• Transmutation (7) :
  
  • Master of Shadows: Kolby has the ability to create weapons, shields, and all sorts of other shapes with shadows.
  • Invisibility.
  • Shadow Travel: Kolby can use naturally occurring shadows to help himself move across the world. He can step into a shadow in the back of a bar in Washington, and pop out in the bathroom of a cafe in France. Kolby cannot create the shadows through which he passes. The greater the distances, the more exhausted he becomes.
• Necromancy (6):
• Can see here, and talk to the dead.
• Can summon six un-dead warriors to help in battle. These warriors are essentially armored skeletons with (maybe) a few scraps of flesh. They can be defeated by decapitation.
• Can give and take life, by touching something with a natural life source. He cannot kill humans, witches, or anything that seems human at it's core. By touching a human and trying to drain their life force, Kolby can only make them ill, and only to the point of flu like symptoms.
• Tricking the Senses: Kolby can blind or deafen one target for up to one minute. He has to chose one or the other - it cannot be both. The target must be within a fifteen foot radius.
  

Personality:

_{Charming ☠ Aggressive ☠ Protective ☠ Closed off ☠ Daring ☠ Territorial ☠ Adventurous ☠Creative}

On the outside looking in, Kolby is a charming young man. He has a way with the ladies, and isn't scared to flirt. He is rather attentive, often leading to moments in conversations where people are shocked that he remembers small details from a story they told months ago. He's a regular everyday guy, doing his best to impress. He's extremely competitive - often erring on the side of aggressive - and loves a challenge. Rather charismatic, when Kolby speaks, people tend to listen.

Underneath his skin, Kolby is a troubled boy. He punches walls to release his frustrations. He drinks whiskey in order to laugh. He smokes cigarettes to stop his hands from shaking. He plays piano to calm his nerves. Sex is nothing but a way to release frustration. Kolby is fiercely loyal, and protects the ones he loves. Some may call the way he acts possessive. Despite all of this, Kolby is his biggest critic, and his worst downfall.

Aside from that, he's a major fuckboy.

History/Bio:

• Kolby was born and raised in Tanner, though his upbringing was a bit different from that of his peers. While the Hawthorne families name carried a proper weight in Tanner, Kolby's parents were a disgrace to the Hawthorne name. His mother was an addict, his father was physically and verbally abusive. They only ever used their magic to harm others, and to benefit themselves. Kolby didn't have much training in his formative years. He spent most of his time finding small spaces to hide in, or blending in with the shadows. The kids at school were mean; While Kolby didn't quite understand why his family was looked at differently, he knew from a very young age that he wasn't necessarily welcome in the Coven - he was there because of technicalities. When Kolby's mother died, his grandmother, Isabella stepped forward. She dragged her son-in-law through a six month court battle in which she won custody over Kolby. After the court case was over, Kolby never saw his father again. For the first time since he was born, Kolby finally had a good, calm influence.
• Isabella did her best, but the morals and ways that Kolby's parents had taught him for the last ten years had already began to stick. While she could teach Kolby how to charm and dress like a proper gentleman, she Isabella Rossi never could tame her grandsons anger. For the next six years, Kolby went everywhere Isabella did. The Apothecary, the grocery store, Coven meetings, etc. She focused on training him to be a proper adult, and as good of a person as she could make him. Isabella found other witches and warlocks to train Kolby physically, while she studied more on book work. While Kolby has her to thank for everything, Isabella passed from old age when Kolby was seventeen years of age. Turning eighteen in just three months, Kolby spent the remainder of his 'child hood' living at the Coven House.
• Kolby's high school life was hectic. At school he was known for being one of the biggest and baddest bullies around. While he didn't typically hang out with any particular crowd, Kolby's name was known around Tanner High School for a multitude of things: Drugs, sex, fights, suspensions and vandalism being the main ones. He spent more time partying under the bleachers than he did anything.
• After high school, Kolby did his best to find more of his family, which landed him in New York. Shortly after arriving in the City of Dreams, Kolby learned that he didn't really have any family to find. He worked odd jobs on the side while soaking up the culture of the city until eventually landing himself a gig as a tattoo artist. He is returning to Tanner in hopes of a fresh start, and with the dream that people won't treat him like the kid he used to be. The question is, however, has Kolby earned his redemption?

Lilith Jade Montgomery

---

((FC: Maia Mitchell // Dialogue color: 00FFFC))
"Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad." — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

---

Name:

_Nickname(s):

• Blue
• Lil (most common and most commonly answered to).
• Lilly
• Mo
• Monty

Gender: Female.

Age: Twenty-three. // May 10th // Taurus

Sexual Orientation: Bewitchingly Bisexual.

Witch or Warlock: Witch.

Schools of Magic:

• Divination (7):
  
  • Spiritually Gifted: Ever since she was little, Lilith has always heard 'voices' in her head. Little did she know that these were her own spirit guides. Through years and years of training, and lots of trial and error, Lilith can now safely and effectively communicate with her spirit guides. She does this mostly through tarot, using her pendulum, and keeping her eyes open for 'angel numbers'. She also still hears her guides voices in her head, but she can now chose when to receive their messages instead of having all of theirs and her thoughts jumbled as one. Lilith communicates with her spirit guides for guidance and clarity. While she will often ask her guides questions for other people, the answers can vary from super helpful to a simple 'fuck off'. Ultimately, these are Lilith guides, and they are here for her - not for you. Their answers are attuned to Lilith, and her life. While she might be able to ask her guides for guidance for you, they aren't going to be able to give you the clarity that you are seeking. When Lilith asks for guidance from her spirit guides for other people, it is easiest to receive answers back for the people who have the strongest emotional connections to Lilith.
  • Empathy: Lilith is an empathy, through and through. Her gut feeling and general intuition have never steered her wrong. Actions speak louder than words, and Lilith has always been able to see right through whatever act people are putting on. She knows when someone she is speaking to is angry, happy, sad, or anything in between. She also knows when she's being lied to. If you're ever hanging out with Lilith and she thinks it's time to leave - you should follow.
  • Spirit Traveling: Lilith has the ability to travel to the Astral Plane through sleeping or meditation. To do this, she must be in a safe, calm, place (usually her bedroom) surrounded by candles, and after she has done protection and cleansing spells. This ability allows her to have access to and conversations with the Covens ancestors' spirits'. Lilith can talk to the spirits of Coven Council members; With permission from a descended relative, and that same descendant being there at the time of the spell, Lilith has the ability to speak to all of the Covens ancestors.
  • Languages: Lilith can hear and speak any and all languages, if she is spoken to first in a foreign language. She can also read all 'written' languages, but only if she is holding a physical copy of it, such as a book. She cannot read other languages online. She cannot read hieroglyphics and the like. She can communicate telepathically with all mammals.
  • Mind Reading: If Lilith is looking at a person, she has the ability to read their current, passing thoughts. She can only do this for about three minutes, and it gives her a splitting headache after. It also leaves her body in a vulnerable state, as she tends to zone out and just stand or sit in one place like a zombie. Lilith cannot access any 'deep' or subconscious thoughts - only what you think while she's inside your head.
• Abjuration (5):
  
  • Banishment: Lilith has the ability to banish up to three enemies to different dimensional planes. This spell lasts for thirty minutes. When banishing a target, Lilith either sends them back to their home realm, or the 'Shadow Realm' for holding. After the spell breaks, the target will return to it's previous location. Even though she can banish three targets in total, she must do a different spell each time she wishes to banish someone/something. (The shadow realm is just a black room, with no ending, and no beginning. The closer you walk to the walls, the further they seem away from you).
  • Aid/Healing: Lilith can heal people through Abjuration. She can heal cuts, bruises, scraps, broken bones, and the like. The time it takes to complete the spell depends on the severity of the wound. She cannot heal life threatening injuries, or amputations. Lilith can also help with mental ailments. If you're feeling sad, she can give you a boost of happiness. If you're nervous, she can calm you. So on and so forth. Lilith cannot cause feelings like sadness and anger. In order to heal anyone physically or mentally, Lilith has to make physical contact with the person.
  • Projection Shield: Lilith can project a 7 foot by 8 foot shield in front of her that deflects and absorbs enemy attacks. She can project this shield up to five feet away from herself, leaving room for her allies to also get behind the shield and protect themselves. This Shield only lasts for ten minutes at a time.
    
    • Personal Shield: Lilith's personal shield is a faint blue, shimmering glow that flows all over her body. This shield also deflects and absorbs enemy attacks, leaving her nearly invulnerable for thirty minutes. Lilith can only use this power once a day.

Personality:

Stubborn ∞ Awkward ∞ Honest ∞ Loner ∞ Loyal ∞ Bubbly ∞ Motherly ∞ Dark Humored

On the outside looking in, Lilith is one of the most happy, socially awkward people that you could ever meet. Always saying something goofy, and having a way with words, she's the kind of girl to have a handful of friends - though she prefers spending her time alone. Having social anxiety is perhaps the reason for her social awkwardness, which causes her to say and do really random things in public. Lilith is the type of girl that may come off as a bitch from time to time. Rather this is because of her sarcastic remarks or the way she rolled her eyes - well, that's up to you.

The fun, somewhat shy, bubbly side is the mask that Lilith wears on a day to day basis. However, that's the cover-up that she puts on. The truth is, Lilith suffers from depression. The girl tends to keep her emotions bottled inside and simply does her best to release them through writing, studying, and marijuana usage. Hot headed as they come, it's a fortunate thing that Lilith knows when to bite her tongue. If she blows up on you, you've had that shit coming for a long while.

Lilith is a very loyal person, and will do practically anything for her friends. She doesn't trust or get attached to too many people, so when and if you hurt her, expect her to cut you out of her life completely. A promise means everything, and she will never break one. Lilith is honest to her core, and her respect is earned. She has no time for cruel or false intentions, and expects people to treat her with that same respect.

She is typically found reading or listening to music. She enjoys YA novels like The Maze Runner, Harry Potter, and the like; There's also a good mix of adult novelists like Stephen King. With a close emotional connection to the night sky, Lilith enjoys spending hours outside at night staring at the stars. An even stronger connection to the ocean, she has no hesitation with driving to the coast for the weekend. Stubborn as can be, she sometimes has trouble accepting things as how they are. Her witty remarks often get her called sharp tongued; her dark humor winds up in her getting called crazy here and there.

The young woman hates drama, gossip, and any other thing of the sort - though she has no problem listening to it. She just doesn't want to be an actual part of it. Of course, if you ask her how she is doing, you will receive a great and a goofy thumbs up. Not being able to express herself truthfully angers her to no end, though, just like her true feelings, she doesn't let it show. In short, the girl is a half read book. To know her, you must first know the whole story.

History/Bio:

• Lilith's mother, Claire, was an Invocation Witch, specializing in water, wind, and electricity manipulation. Lilith never knew her father, seeing as he fled when he heard the news that Claire was pregnant. All Lilith knows of her father is that he was a Transformation and Divination witch. Lilith had a relatively happy childhood, though the voices in her head always drove her a little crazy. When she was little, her mother used to say that this was her conscious speaking to her, and for a long time that's what Lilith believed. Born and raised for the first ten years of her life in a small, Western North Carolina town, Claire and Lilith moved to Tanner Washington after Claire's mother, Christine, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Claire spent long hours at the hospital working as an ER nurse, often leaving Lilith to be taken care of by her grandfather, John Montgomery. John was a Necromancy Witch, way, way back in the day; While he didn't use his powers very often any more due to his age, John was and still is a force to be reckoned with - especially when it comes to his granddaughter. While Claire taught Lilith everything that she could, John is the one who Lilith truly thanks for teaching her what she knows about Magic.
• Christine passed when Lilith was twelve, and Claire died in a car crash when Lilith was fourteen. This left Lilith to be taken care of completely by her grandfather. John raised Lilith to be strong and independent. Knowing that he wouldn't be there to take care of Lilith one day, he wanted to make sure that he did everything that he could to make sure that she would succeed. He lent her old grimoires, trained with her, and most importantly - he never made her feel like she was crazy. It took a long time for Lilith to realize the voices that she was hearing were her spirit guides, and her grandfather was the only one that never brushed her off, or treated her like she belonged in an asylum. John taught Lilith how to cook, clean, change the oil in her car, and many other basic life skills. He also gave her chores on the family ranch that the live on, making sure that she had a good work ethic and learned discipline.
• Lilith's reputation in high school was pretty much non existent. Known as a chameleon, Lilith could go anywhere and talk to anyone, and blend in with any crowd - but only if she was feeling confident enough to do so. She attended quite a handful of parties, and blended in with the stoners. She never had the desire to participate in any sports or clubs, already busy enough with her chores at home and practicing magic. Lilith's presence in the Coven is very well known, and she has always been sought out by other witches and warlocks in times of guidance.
• Lilith has zero desire to work for 'the man' - which is why she never went to college. While she had always planned to do so, once she had graduated, Lilith realized she had no idea what she actually wanted to do with her life. She knows that one day she will inherent the ranch, but is that really what she wants to dedicate her life to?

Extras:

• Her dog Nala.
• Her cat Mavis.
• Has a septum piercing, nipple piercings, and ear lobe piercings. She also has an industrial and helix piercing in her right ear. She doesn't wear her septum ring often.
• Lilith's all time favorite food is Crab Rangoon, and she will accept this as a form of payment. Taco Bell can also be used to bribe her.
• Works on the family ranch, known to the town as Rocky River Ranch. They sell cattle, crops, chickens and horses. The ranch does employ seasonal and full time workers. The is made up of 1000 acres of land. The land holds access to large river, rolling fields, and access to mountain ranges.
• For actual income, Lilith is a bartender at Huskers Bar & Grill on Main Street.

The Witches & Warlocks of Tanner 2.0

@WolfLover

I believe witches specialize in up to three schools of magic, and warlocks mainly specialize in one, sometimes two. However the warlock will have a wider range of spells in their specialty, since that’s the only one they know. We’re mostly referring to the schools of DND magic to base our characters from.

being a good nice person doesn't get you anything but hurt, pain and wish you knew how to be a bitch.

I’ve felt like this a lot in life, but feeling like this is also what keeps me kind. Being a good person will always be hard, because doing the right thing is harder than just flipping that switch and being a bitch.

I love seeing other people succeed, or just enjoying life. If someone post a picture where they’re obviously feeling good about themselves, I’m going to give it a like. Posted about your promotion?
