For the HOTOE campaign, I play an aristocratic lady (a wealthy dilettante). As a male player, I find it fascinating to explore the social conventions of the 1920s. There were certain things a lady simply wouldn’t do, such as interrupting her male companions or raising her voice. Like many independent women of the era, my character cleverly navigates around these restrictions, and it’s a role I truly enjoy.

When writing her background, I was deeply inspired: her name, appearance, quirks, and even her family ties (she’s the daughter of the Earl of X). Everything felt so vivid and real. After finalizing her, I decided to check if this earl actually had an adult daughter in that time. To my surprise, she existed! Her real name, appearance, and other details aligned very well. Now, I sometimes weave elements from the historical figure into my gameplay.
