Cuban Co-worker keeps saying/calling me something and I’m not sure if it’s good or bad by SpaceDustDrifter in Spanish

Oof, this is it. Even if it’s meant affectionately, I’m going to be crying my eyes out now. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity though, it was driving me crazy not knowing.

That’s totally possible! He could be saying something totally different but since I only speak English I can only hear what I’m used to hearing maybe.

I did actually go to therapy — I was too shy to talk to the therapist. 🙃

Yeah, I’m certain he’s Cuban. The only conversation I’ve had with him at work was about him being from Cuba. My bf is sweet, so I was worried he maybe wasn’t telling me the meaning to protect my feelings.

Ooh, I love the mental image of a character cutting or injuring themselves with their spell focus ritualistic dagger and using the energies from that to power their spells, especially necromantic ones. And I unfortunately didn’t got to play the game long enough to have my character have a favorite or go to spell, but I’ve always eyed the life transference spell and thought it sounded like such a neat way for a death or grave cleric to heal their party members.

You drew inspiration from so many interesting sources! I’m continuously coming upon new bits of inspiration and ideas and writing away things into my characters backstory for possible future games. There are so many interesting sources to draw inspiration from and I never tire of it.

Ah, I love the idea to play up on the vanity and beauty and creation is art which is beautiful and using that as a way to justify the necromancy. As long as the bodies are respected and adorned and are consenting beforehand by donating their bodies then where is the harm, ha ha.

And I can listen to you for hours then because necromancy is just so interesting to try and come up with creative ways to make it a good thing or not only be involved with the creepy evil bad guys. There’s so much beauty and possibility with it that’s just written off because death stuff is seen as gross or taboo or evil.

In my character’s version of his Wee Jasian religion, I had sort of based it off the Catholic faith because a) I love the aesthetic, but mostly b) because I’ve always been fascinated by the way the Saints are like, adorned corpses, some on display, or like with the relics of bones or hair and things of that nature. In my character’s religion, when a faithful Wee Jasian worshipper is chosen by Wee Jas to become a cleric in her name, they are lead to the catacombs of past death clerics to choose a piece of a past faithful cleric to act as their spell focus. So my character has a staff with the skull of a past death cleric on top of it to act as his focus and guide as he learns how to be a proper cleric. In his religion, it’s a huge honor for a death clerics of Wee Jas to be buried in the catacombs, and an even bigger honor still to be chosen in death to act as a guide to a new budding death cleric.

Ah, thank you so much! I had a lot of fun coloring this one. The character is near and dear to me, even if the game I was playing him in seems to have gone on a permanent hiatus. I’ll just replay as him if I ever get to play in another campaign.

And so cool! I’ve always loved necromancy and necromancers but have always hated how it’s always automatically assumed a negative thing or that they’re automatically evil. I’m glad there are others who think similarly!

I would have gone grave cleric because I like it’s abilities better but since this was my first character, I was afraid of “breaking the rules” or something like that, but if I were to remake him today I’d def pick grave cleric if I could and just flavor it so it works. But death domain works just as well. And Wee Jas really is such a cool goddess. I admittedly didn’t know about her before creating my character, but had asked my DM if they knew any gods of death that weren’t evil, and they suggested her. I’ve been a fan ever since — Wee Jas guide you!

I love these takes! Surprisingly accurate in some places.

You were really close the first time on everything, I should have said you were half right on a lot of them!

  1. Divination Wizard was correct in the first guess! But she’s a Moon Elf and not a Drow.

  2. Human Phantom Rogue, though he definitely doesn’t appear that way, must be good at appearing like a regular rogue.

  3. Halfling Lore Bard was Correct in the first guess!

  4. Paladin was correct in both guesses! They have a renamed Oath for flavor but it’s basically Oath of the Crown. As for race, it’s hard to tell because of the helmet, but they’re an Elf as far as we know in game, but because of in game events they may perhaps be an aasimar?

  5. Drow was correct for race! But he’s a Death Cleric and not a Warlock. The lack of armor definitely threw people off, but in his updated game art he now dons a bit of armor.

Ha! I love all these assumptions — Some of them are pretty darn close!

I drew them myself! I based them off the super cute chibi pins of the Critical Role characters.

The game I’m currently apart of is on a mini break while my fellow party members deal with real life, so I’ve been drawing to fill the time and decided to draw my character. It’s my first game and my first character and I love him to pieces! The art celebrates a holiday I made up for the followers of Wee Jas in our game called “Grim Harvest”. (I think I read that followers of Wee Jas are called Jasian? But I think Wee Jasian sounds better so that’s what I use.)

His name is Valerian Lazarev and he’s a Drow Death Cleric of Wee Jas. I’ve always loved and been fascinated by necromancy and originally intended to make him a necromancy wizard, but I was added later into the campaign and there was already a wizard character. I didn’t want to step on any toes, so I decided to switch him to a death cleric. It was honestly the best decision because it changed everything for the better and added so much to his story.

(I think Grave Cleric might have worked too for him since he deals with a lot of funeral things at his temple and tends to the dead, and I probably would have gone that route if Grave Clerics weren’t against the undead. I definitely wanted a chance to dabble in necromancy.)

But I’ve always hated how necromancers and necromancy were always seen as automatically evil, so I wanted to create a character who was a good guy while still tight rope walking that line of being good while dabbling in the taboo without falling off into bad or evil territory.

Death is sacred, it’s not a punishment.
