I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

my mother was a drunk, and my father was a brute, and on my 18th birthday, I will inherit her drinking gourd and his spiked greatclub, and become a drunken brute. I hope I can make them proud

A thing to try: don't make gods for your fantasy TTRPG setting.

Instead, get each player to tell you the god their character follows, then roll a d6 behind the screen.

6: Their god is real, and as powerful as they believe it to be; maybe they even listen to prayers; maybe they even care. Maybe they care more about if your shellfish wear mixed fabrics.

5: It's a real entity, but whose power is exaggerated - like as a river spirit, but they're worshipped thousands of miles away from it for prayers their expertise with rivers leaves them woefully unprepared to answer

4: It's a powerful demon or dragon or monster of some kind which has tricked people into worshipping it - sure it's powerful, but that power is entirely self-serving, it couldn't answer your prayers if it wanted to

3: It's a person who, through real power, political influence or just straight up charisma, has tricked people into worshipping them, or through a series of misunderstandings has been mistaken for a god against their will

2: It was a long-dead person whose legacy has passed into legend - they may once have been a 3, or they may just have been famous in their life and not seen as godly until long after their death

1: Just a wholesale myth with no basis in reality. Maybe your god started off as a cautionary tale a mother made up to stop her children sucking their thumbs and over the retellings the whole "god of war" thing just sort of happened because of the massive scissors, and now the scissors are gone and all that's left is battlefield chants.

And of course, let the players know about this before you roll. Tell them about their odds, but never tell them about their gods.

how it feels when one of your hyperfixations comes back and stronger than ever

If you're still doing the minimal context character analysis:

"He's technically water so the party threw him full force at a vampire spawn to make him 'moving water' and he fell flat on his face (failing an intimidation roll and slipping) but it still killed the vampire somehow"

sounds like his alignment is Technically A Vampire Murderer

My character developed a massive crush on an assassin NPC because one: he's really hot and two: she wants him to do the combat stuff that he is much better at doing comparatively

thirsty AND tactical? classic Lawful Horny behavior. this just makes sense, assassins are hot

minimal context d&d character analysis

tell me one (1) thing about your d&d character and i will tell you their alignment

[official-dnd-posts]

My character genuinely believes another party member is a reincarnated demigod (Dragon) destined to save the world. Said party member is none of those things.

this is classic Chaotic Delusional behavior and i hope everyone in this situation gets proven wrong

actually it's horribly unethical to NOT chop off a hydra's head, they need enrichment just like every other creature

official dnd post

well yeah i have a pet hydra and it only has one head. i'm not going to cut its head off just to make it look cooler, you asshole. that's seriously unethical. and i'm not letting you cut its head off either. if you really want a hydra with multiple heads, you should go for a rescue- but if you want your pet to look cooler at the cost of its physical health, maybe you shouldn't get any kind of pet at all. no, the hydra's not for guarding my evil tower, it's my pet. have you ever heard of a pet? like a puppy or a kitty? you think i can't defend my evil tower by my self?
