Fictional characters

Tweet

Playing D&D is very enjoyable. I use it as a form of creative expression, a way to escape realty and lifes problems for a short while, and a time for hanging out with good friends. Most of the time we use the same characters for a long while, but sometimes we decide to put our olds ones on hold for a time and start a new one. While some might think that they would be abandoning their old favorite characters, I see it as an opertunity to expound upon the ever growing fictional world that exists whithin my mind. I have a great number of characters that i have poured a part of myself into, and they are all very in depth considering how little I have been able to actually play them. One such character is Og. Og is a Kobold. He is one of the few that have a strong Draconic influence in their appearance. So much so that Og actually has a set of strong wings. His body is covered in patches of sharp barbs and spikes that he inherited from the powerful beast known as a Fang Dragon. When Og was a child, he was taken from his homeland by a band of circus people that used him as a side show. For fifteen years he was paraded out and made to show off his wings and perform tricks. His humiliation was made easier only by the fact that one of his attendants was rather kind to him. She was a young girl who tought him to speak common and reading and writing. On his fifteenth year in the circus, he was freed by a paladin and a sorceror. Indebted to these two, he decided that he would travel with them until his debt could be repaid. He was a quick master of the bow and was adept at finding near perfect vantage points from which to aid his friends. Many others joind their group, but the two who had saved him remain his closest friends. Balgus, the paladin, had gone into a cave that was in an active volcano to save another of their traveling companions. Og came with him to grant his services and aid in any way possible. The two faced off against a powerful fire sperit and only defeated it through luck and skill. Both were battered from the fight, and they found refuge in a chamber that the sperit had been guarding. Inside, they found many treasures, but among them was a remarkable bow. This bow, which was long and marked with symbols of lightning, was called Sylph. Sylph was a magical bow that could fire lightning whenever she was in the service of a Kobald. She could speak to Og and would tell him of dangers that he couldnt sense. A bond has since grown between the two and they are very close. When offered a wish, Og used it to make his friend Sylph stronger, granting her the ability to become a small Blue fairy with white hair and silver butterfly wings. Og still travels with his friends, they are on a quest to thwart the evil Dragon Queen Tiamat. Their travels will take them far and lead them through many dangers, but then again, thats the point.
