[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for fictives of player characters!

Every introject is unique, special, and wonderful in their own way, and this absolutely includes fictives whose source is a player character from a video game, tabletop rpg, or some other game! To all the fictives of player characters out there, your life is precious and you are worth uplifting and celebrating! So this one is just for you!

🎮 Shoutout to fictives of player characters from video games who kept and identify with the default name of their source!

🃏 Shoutout to fictives from TTRPGs whose source is someone else’s player character!

👾 Shoutout to fictives of player characters who formed consciously or unconsciously due to their system’s special interest or hyperfixation!

🎮 Shoutout to fictives of player characters who feel strongly attached to the game, work, or world they were sourced from!

🃏 Shoutout to fictives of player characters that were created by their own system!

👾 Shoutout to fictives of player characters from let’s plays, podcasts, livestreams, or other instances where their source is a player character created by someone outside their system!

🎮 Shoutout to fictives of player characters who are trying to distance themselves from their source for any reason!

🃏 Shoutout to fictives of customizable player characters whose appearance regularly shifts as a result of their source!

👾 Shoutout to fictives of player characters who have never interacted directly with the work they are sourced from!

Fictives of player characters are valid as fictives and introjects, and are important and valued members of their systems! It’s okay to be a fictive of a player character, regardless of how you feel about your source. Your experience is real, you are real, and you deserve to be supported and uplifted as you are!

some recent concept stuff for an rpg

Heroes are all fucked up

I know this has been said before in a thousand different ways by a thousand different people and some of them said it better than me, but it's on my mind and so here goes:

Heroes are deeply fucked up people

The answer to "why would any normal person pick up a sword and go diving into caves full of monsters/strap themselves into a ten-ton death machine/fly between worlds in their spaceship doing crimes" is "no normal person would" because nobody with a happy, fulfilling life would need to.

Something happened to every D&D character that made them either want or need to put themselves in terrible danger on a regular basis. Something happened to every mech pilot in Lancer that makes them keep climbing into a walking weapon despite the risk. They don't have to enjoy what they're doing, they might hate it, but they need it because something happened to them that made them this way.

Firefly wasn't a perfect show, and not every aspect of it aged well, but it's such a good example of this. Malcolm Reynolds is a guy who believed in something enough to fight and kill for it, and he got to watch most of the people who trusted him die. Now he travels from place to place in a beaten up old trashfire of a ship putting himself in constant danger because it Makes The Thoughts Stop, and he tries to pass himself off as uncaring but he just can't help himself when an opportunity to do the right thing arises, because maybe, just maybe, if he does enough good things, maybe it will make up for his failures.

"Why do so many OCs have a tragic backstory" because we like to write about things that are interesting and the kind of people who live very happy, untroubled lives are not very interesting

The player characters from a game of Abomination Vaults I'm running in PF2e! I'll be adding colours to their art soon but for now here's the black and white versions!

We have a Half Orc Laughing Shadow Magus, Ghoran Scoundrel Rogue, Human Pistolero Gunslinger, and a Ghoran Wild Patron Witch! They're all a bunch of fun to GM for, excited to see where the story takes them!

Also if you want art of your own player characters, npcs, or any other things you might want, my commissions are wide open, feel free to get in touch! See below for my prices

Current batch of PCs in my weekly Magic Assholes in Space campaign.

They've escaped from a prison ship, gambled their way out of medical debt, stole a ship, nearly died by going too fast, crashed the Rat King's coronation, and then escaped said coronation.

They're doin great!

Some D&D 5e PCs I drew for my party waaaaaaay back in 2020 (which is why the art style is so different, this was pre covid!) for an Eberron game I ran for the last few years! The game is on a break rn while we try other systems, but I'm very excited to get back into it someday!

[salokorai]

After doing this campaign for almost half a year, I finally got to finish this nice group drawing of my player's characters!

From left to right we've got: - Literal grumpy dad Calahan Victus De Sang (Oath of Conquest Paladin/Undead Patron Warlock) - Pro hedonism and unionized pirate Sepphaira (Swashbuckler Rogue/College of Blades Bard) - "Then Perish" Freyn Ulfgar (Undeath Domain Cleric) - Golden retriever energy Yaku Ca (Gloomstalker Ranger)

[nambnb]

So I haven't managed to draw my BG3 PCs yet, but I want to have them known anyway. So far I've got two "Tav" and two "Durge" characters:

Peff'Huar Galeris: tiefling, thief rogue (Tav)

Reed Ridley: half-elf, lore bard (Tav)

Tsa'Zareth: drow, oath-breaker paladin (DU)

Tarlukk: tiefling, druid of spores (DU)

I haven't managed to finish the game with all of them, but I'm racking up the hours. XD
