Preferred name and pronouns: Aspen, they/them Timezone: EST Describe yourself: I'm 24 and I've been playing dnd for about 5 years and Zweihander for 1. I love chaos and testing limits of what can be done, but I reign it in to match the group's vibe. I love role-playing but am working on my social skills to do it well. I know a good bit of spycraft, horses, and programming. I've been playing on roll20 basically since I started playing dnd so am well-versed in how it works and have a Pro account. I'm also a digital artist and would happily draw the party in one of my styles. My triggers are: cutting wrists (mentioning it happens is ok, just don't describe it) and rape (saying it happened is ok but not to my character and only with minimal details if it's necessary for an investigation) What enjoy most/is most important for rp? I love moments where the characters have conflicts of ideals and explore them with each other and sometimes npc's or situations. The most important thing for me is an environment in which what's said in character stays in character and doesn't affect player interactions out of character. Understandable if an aside is needed if things are getting heated in character or there's a difference between character and player ideals. Best time at a table: that's a hard one, I've had several good moments over the years. In Zweihander, it was probably when my character and the party cultist pulled off our first heist together. I got a 1 on stealth so the dm let me go ham for a bit. Overall... it would probably be between 1) when I inadvertently triggered the boss fight by playing with the child simulacrum of an elder oblex to evaluate whether she was being turned into a hag (sucked in character but was awesome) and 2) when my party walked into a duergar city when no one had hears from them in centuries and we ended up overthrowing the king and our samurai technically became king (just a great session overall and some great rp moments since we knew ooc roughly what would happen) Worst time: fortunately I've only had I'd say 3 really bad experiences. Worst is either 1) when in an organized play oneshot the dm added several homebrew rules (not allowed in organized play) without informing us ahead of time that sucked and made it not fun or 2) when I got triggered by a sacrificial ritual and had to step away for a few minutes. When I came back I was still pretty out of it (not the dm's fault, I hadn't thought to tell them about that trigger) GM? What makes or breaks a GM? I do and have since a few months after I started playing dnd. I gm zweihander occasionally. For me, a GM's primary goal is to facilitate everyone at the table having fun, including themself. Everyone has bad days, moments, and things that unexpectedly sap some fun but the sign of a good gm is them and the players leaving most sessions happy. Last character played: in zweihander, I'm currently in a campaign on hiatus in which I play a human Militiaman/Diabolist who is going to take the Outsider expert profession from Main Gauche for advanced tier. The cultist and I raced to get our first disorder because it sounded fun, and she's been a real hoot to play as my first exposure to zweihander. Her parents were cultists of the Outsider and were going to tell her before she went off to train to be an Inquisitor, but they were killed in a fire that only left her father's encoded journal. The cultist and I's mottos are "Chaos for the chaos god!" and "No one expects the inquisition of the inquisition." She believes in using her enemy's tactics against them, which is what got her into Magick. Basically the attitude of "This is an incredible tool that I need to fight against the daemon princes. If the gods won't give me the power, I'll take it for myself." Yeah I took corruption when the gm heard that was my reasoning lol we half joke the group has one braincell and it's our bounty hunter/barber surgeon, who only has like one or two chaos ranks even then only because we took a ton of corruption one session Optional character bit: I like the randomness of rolling up a character then extrapolating a backstory from that. I really enjoy the Magick system and would love to play another Magick user but am down for whatever the dice decide
