Way Of The Drunken Master - Tumblr Posts
I have a new D&D character!
His name is Mordai, and he's for a campaign thats going to be run by one of my friends, and is a level five Way of the Drunken Master Monk, with the entertainer background. At the moment, I'm just making Heroforge miniatures to test out color palettes and design elements while I focus more on art assignments for school.
Design notes, the character's backstory, and the image description are all under the cut! Any and all suggestions are welcome, both for his design and backstory!
[ID: Two screenshots of Heroforge, showing the same character from the front and back. He is a tiefling monk, with pale skin, and satyr legs. Their clothing is mostly composed of layered fabric in two shades of yellow, but with gold and red details. While the hair on his head is black, the fur on his legs is mostly brown. He is holding up a fist, and is posed as if stepping forward. End ID]
Notes:
Full Name: Mordai Nethercote
He was born into a human family, with his infernal lineage pretty far back in their family tree. As a result, their last name is an old-english one. His first name is a tiefling one, just because I like it.
Pronouns: He/They
Sexuality: Pan-romantic, Asexual
Backstory: Entertainer (Jester)
They were forced to join a traveling circus as a child, to bring in money for his family. Hating his life, he eventually ran from the circus, abandoning his family and the woman he met there. When the guilt became too much for him to drink away, he joined a monastery.
Personality:
He's tired, and seemingly laid back, but haunted by what he's done, and isn't looking to repeat the experience. He values the freedom he found after the circus, but isn't sure that it was worth it.
Design Notes:
My main concern is him looking too much like Mollymauk, from Critical Role. Of course, they're both tieflings that spent some time in a circus, but I want to avoid similarities where possible. The yellow-focused palette helps, and I love characters who's personality contradicts their outfit.
