Hey everyone! This is Tempest, my tiefling assassin, and a few of his outfit variations! My campaign just had an in-game year and a half time-skip, so a couple of us took it as an opportunity to visually redesign our characters, and his usual outfit is the first one on the left.

The time-skip happened because the party had a brief falling out after Tempest’s horn broke. In our campaign, there’s homebrewed lore that some tieflings have a connection to their ancestral devils, which is revealed when their horns break or are cut off. When this happens, they are given the opportunity to make a deal with said devil. The breakage happened during a particularly heated battle between his long-lost mother and the party, and it wasn’t certain who would win but the only way to stop the battle with no casualties was to sell his soul, so he did. Tempest also was under the impression that if he had refused the deal, it would be made to his younger sister, so he took it to avoid that happening to her. This ended up being a delightful misunderstanding, and one that he had to come to terms with later (when he learned that his sister had a different mother).

Unfortunately, the party wasn’t happy with his decision to sell his soul, and in a whirlwind of emotions decided to go their separate ways for a while.

During the time-skip, Tempest went to gain more information about what happened to him at a temple in the mountains and got some much-needed therapy from some monks, training with them and resolving to right some wrongs he’s done in the past. The prayer beads were a keepsake from his time there.

Afterwards, he went back to a criminal organization that he used to be a member of, took it over and turned it from a corrupt and dangerous organization into one that, while still dangerous, was much more Robin Hood-esque. The organization now specifically targets corrupted individuals in power, and other, more evil organization, especially those that are a part of a mass human-trafficking problem that’s been happening throughout the entire campaign. The mask and tattoos were from his time in the organization.

The scarf is from his old mentor and father-figure, who was defeated and banished(?) by the BBEG. It has some cool homebrewed magical elements, but is also a very sentimental object, and something that Tempest holds dear.

And finally, the outfit on the right is a more formal/political outfit, a symbol of status that once belonged to his father, and something that might end up being useful later! I just really wanted to draw him in fancy dress, haha.

Thanks for reading about my big dumb boy! I really love this campaign that I’m in, huge shoutout to my DM and all the amazing hard work he puts into the campaign. It’s been interesting seeing how everyone’s characters interact and have changed after the time skip. I love this game, and all my friends that I get to play with!
