Keannan, by virtue of not needing the same kind of sleep as the others, only the Reverie, had been awake perhaps a minute longer, during which the sobbing had not eased. Seeing the others stir - waking, most likely - he simply muttered a word of frustration, before sitting up. "I had hoped the woman would quiet afore long, but if you three have also woken, then I doubt I will find the quiet as comforting as before. Do you think we should go to them, or leave it to the ears and heart of our kind hostess?" ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

@Benzaiten I hope it's okay, but I've swapped my druidic focus from a sprig of mistletoe to a yew wand (which I forgot was a thing). Nothing changes except it's a wand now and is 'worth' more.

@Benzaiten Don't know if it matters, ultimately, but when you refer to 'equipment' in the little character thing on the side, does that just refer to weapons and armour? Or is it just most of the inventory?

Also, probably gonna go green for Keannan's dialogue. Who could have guessed it?

@Mistress Dizzy It's in the Basics bit of the formatting cheatsheet below the reply box 😅

It's tables that I don't understand.

@Mistress Dizzy If you copy what I posted in the hider, yeah. You'll still have to make your own edits for character name/dialogue/etc, but otherwise, it should all format correctly.

The Death Knight's Squire [D&D 5e One Shot]

@Mistress Dizzy Something that stops all the code from compiling. The command is literally 'noparse', so if you look in the hider, it's all the code from the IC formatting template.

Putting a noparse here for easy copying. I assume that I've gotten everything right when I've made a few edits?

Druid - Chaotic Good - Wood Elf ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Keannan is a brusque, often short-tempered young man - well, young for an elf. He has little patience for posturing or pretending, and does not care to give his respect to someone he does not see as having earned it. As for how to earn it? Do not pretend to be someone you are not and do not expect things from others when you yourself give nothing. So... mostly he respects animals. Despite his attitude, Keannan possesses an inquisitive mind, a kind heart, and a genuine desire to better himself - and if he needs to humble himself to do that, he'll do it. He still has much to learn, after all, and his life has been longer than most. Background ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Some people have a picture of elves in their head. Proud. Noble. Regal, even. Practically perfect in every way. Never making mistakes. Everything they do is what they intended to. Most of the people who hold this ideal are elves. And anyone who doesn't meet this standard - well, they're troublemakers. Miscreants. They don't belong in polite society. That has been Keannan's experience, at least. Someone who didn’t fit the mould. Who didn’t care for 'perfection' or 'politeness'. Who rejected the idea of it. And took joy in disrupting the sensitive sensibilities of those who found discomfort in his very existence. But he was hardly ninety at the time, and eventually, being rejected by the very people you surround yourself with... eventually, you'll break and lash out. Which is exactly what Keannan did. As a more juvenile elf, he could not be punished as a full adult. Notes on the rest of this; - Keannan was sent to a druid circle to study under one of its masters - Typical resilient mentor story. No matter what Keannan did, the master did not give up on him, and taught Keannan not just about druidcraft, but about the natural world, the order of things, how to manage his anger - and how to deal with particularly annoying peers. - He also taught Keannan the value of life - what it means to have it, and what it means to take it, be it in a form of combat, or as a hunter searching for food. This is why Keannan carries a wolf fang on a leather cord around his neck - a memento of this exact lesson (and also, it came from the background items, 'a trophy from an animal you have killed', so). - Related note - Keannan still hunts and eats meat, that sort of thing. He respects life, and what it means to take it. So when he kills an animal, he does his best to be respectful, does not prolong its suffering, and tries to calm it, if he can. Which is sometimes an ordeal, given he can understand the thoughts and emotions of animals. Things I haven't pinned down: - What, exactly, Keannan did to get himself 'socially excommunicated' from his home. - Who his master is (though likely an elf?), and what has happened in the fifty or so years between then and now that Keannan is no longer at their side, under their tutelage.

@Benzaiten Sorry 'bout that. I had... a very long day yesterday, so I basically got home, fed the cats, fed myself, and fell asleep. I'll get that backstory written up for you today, I just had next to no time yesterday.

Also, people, remember, you can put your character sheets in hiders. Keeps things tidy, you know? 😅
