Phoenix Aster, a white human with auburn hair and glasses, dressed in purple, with a slightly stocky and athletic build. He hoists himself up on a grassy ledge as snow and ash begin to fall. It's unclear whether the background is a sunset or the light of a fire from below reflected in the clouds behind him. He grins like a madman, holding his torso injuries with his slashed arm, and wields a mote of white-silver flame in the other. His blood is inhuman and multicolored, much like paint.

Phoenix Aster

Phoenix, a bladesinger wizard/wild magic barbarian, was brought back to life by a couple of bored deities on a whim after dying before his time. Since then, he's proven to be a close friend and confidant to not only those two, but several other powerful entities as well. Most recently, he's gained the ability to use Mystra's silver flame by being one of her chosen.

Malice, a dark blue winged Tiefling with twisted horns and gold accents, jauntily steps downstage in time with assumed music. In one hand, he holds a fire spell, and the other holds lightning. Each reflects dramatically off his costume and body. Overall, he appears menacing, dangerous, unhinged, and charismatic. It is fully rendered in a rough painterly style.

Malice Dalca

This sorcerer, bard, and criminal, over the course of years, slowly became a hero, then lost that status in an instant.

In the midst of an important battle, he sought revenge on a party member that prevented him from saving his mother's life. While he could see and prevent future deaths, most didn't know of his gift. For years, he dealt with further social exile for what—to an outside observer—seemed an irrational act of violence out of nowhere. And after a final attempt to redeem himself by single-handedly defeating a would-be lich failed to sway opinions of him, he finally snapped.

The looted magic to become a monster tempted him, and he couldn't think of anything he had left to lose. With a powerful concoction of poisons and venoms, he'd finally become what everyone thought he was. Why not prove them right? Why not embrace the new name Malice? Hell, why not try to become a god?

Reference sheet of Magnolia Mooncrest. She is a pink imp in blue clothing with friendly, yellow-green eyes, peach-colored long hair, and a catlike face. Her horns curl toward each other to form a heart shape, which is repeated throughout her design. Her right arm bears tiger stripes from a deal with Mahadi gone wrong.

Under her name are the pronouns she/her, a lesbian flag, and the words: Imp Glamour Bard.

There are two fullbody drawings of her at the top of the page. One where she holds up two casual peace signs and another where she excitedly plays her golden lute (labeled as her favored instrument). To the right is a doodle of her making the biggest saddest eyes (labeled Puss in Boots cuteness tactics). Examples of heart shaped markings on her tail are detailed, as well as her hands that have paw pads and retractable claws. 3 hairstyles are shown from the neck up in 4 turnaround angles each: half up space buns, high braid, and southern belle fluffy pigtails.

Magnolia Mooncrest

Magnolia Mooncrest, aka Maggie, is a sweet little Disney princess type who ended up in the Blood Wars in the Nine Hells. Honestly? I could've paid better attention to the campaign setting, but she's fit right in. Previously an Eladrin from roughly the y2k era, she signed a contract that she assumed was a record deal, but in reality, she sold her soul and sealed it in the 1' tall body of a disposable imp for an army experiment.

Where most cutesy princess-y types would call upon songbirds to help her sew a dress, Maggie's a weird lil freak who kept an intellect devourer as a puppy. She's crawled into the ribcage of an undead monster, charmed it, and named it Kevin. She fought death for an indestructible golden lute and won. Despite being a speck in comparison, she intimidated a Roc (yknow, the bird of prey as large as a mountaintop) into turning tail and leaving. Mags has also helped sell a Slap-Chop™ (yes, the literal "as seen on TV" product) not once, but twice. She helped sing an ocean apocalypse to peace with the help of 7 orchestras, and she's polymorphed both a Djinn and a Solar-ranking Angel into frogs to avoid a fight.

A range of drawing studies of my OC Phoenix, based on Brennan Lee Mulligan making angry or unhinged expressions. They are hastily colored in. Phoenix is a white human with square-frame glasses, amber eyes, long, wavy reddish hair, a touch of scruffy facial hair, and a stocky and strong build. He wears the same billowy, light purple button up in each drawing, rolled up past his elbows.

1: Phoenix eating a pie and looking regretful.
Text: Q: Phoenix questioning some life decisions?
A: Not decisions. Circumstances.

2: Phoenix with one finger up, smiling desperately, on edge. Text: An it still hurts every time!

3: Phoenix mid-angrily shoving a leaf or feather in his mouth.

4: Phoenix w/ mouthful of feather or leaf. Vacant 200 yard stare through the viewer. 
Text: Mph.

5: Angrily gripping the game show podium, about to snap, the calm before the storm.
Text (underlined): What?

6: Phoenix yelling and leaning forward.
Text: Oh l've only just BEGUN ta pull
the thread.

7: Smiling like his world is falling apart
Text: It's a big ol' goose egg, gang!

8: Murderous head tilt, gripping the podium. 
Text: I'm the only one out of the loop, it would seem.

A page full of Phoenixes based on Brennan Lee Mulligan for your approval 😌

Full-color full-body illustration of Phoenix in a formal kilt on a textured, dark green background. He's flipping someone off who's out of frame, looking a bit miserable in his dress clothes.

Phoenix is a white human with long, wavy, reddish hair that's pulled halfway up with a couple decorative braids for style.

His family's tartan (plaid) has thin gold stripes and thick purple ones overlapping on a warm orange background. This pattern is used for his main kilt, as well as the sashlike part pinned to his lapel with a large brass pin. His suitcoat and vest are both traditional black, but his bow tie accents the kilt with a warm reddish purple hue. His kilt is the usual knee length and he's wearing a Sporran bag over the front of it, connected by delicate chains to his belt. He also sports shiny dress shoes that lace partway up his calves.
The exact same picture as before, except he looks a bit crazed and both his middle fingers are on fire, like in the song The Ballad of Smokin Joe Rudeboy by Tom Cardy.

Phoenix hates formalwear, but he'll have to deal with it. Also he's like, fantasy Scottish, so he gets a fun formal kilt instead of the typical tux for an upcoming gala in game 😌

Phoenix, a muscularly built, auburn haired human with glasses, looks up menacingly from a hazy, dramatically lit stage. A ring of magical energy is glowing around his right hand, primed for casting. He's wearing a Roman-style battle skirt and red-lined gold bracers and greaves. He is adorned in necklaces and other gold jewelry, and his geometric tattoos are glowing. His eyes glow unnaturally, showing that he is under a spell, and a crown of magic is emblazoned on his forehead with an M. Gold text scrolls across the image under stylized sheet music, which is meant to be read as a disembodied voice that only Phoenix can hear.

The text reads: "Now use one of your spells ln them, Firebird~."

The word "spells" is written in a fancier font, and it glows the same color as his eyes.

Had a whole OC storyline with Phoenix being used as a weapon by a theatrical lich who planned to replace the sun deity.
