Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
I need a QUALITY player-character named:
Mournblade Stormwind
(or Darkfire Steelheart, or Dagger Coldedge, Grim McAngsty, Steeldark Darksteel, or whatever)
Fortunately PC creation may be systemized:
Name:
Class, Race, and Tragic Events:
Alignment:
Fashion accessories:
(Sadly requires some actual creativity, but fortunately not much)
This personality is good for any campaign!
It's all 'bout packing in angst and tragedy, what do you have?
Happy Halloween!

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Ah man, edgy characters, those were the days. Although weirdly enough even my edgy characters have had normal names. I'll roll up my own edgecharacter later.

"My family was killed by family members"
Seems legit
barbarian speak bold and never capital letter or second/first person pronoun just like comic man do!

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
The backstory table really needs a "by myself" point.
Also, unusual eye colour table:
1 - Dark Red
2 - Deep Violet
3 - Vibrant Green
4 - Pitch black, including sclera
5 - Golden Yellow
6 - Icy Blue
7 - Filmy white, because blind. Doesn't affect performance in any way
8 - Roll again, add catlike slit pupil
Wander Grimscar is a human war cleric with dark red eyes and catlike pupils. He is literally his own family members transformed into him. (Well, that sounds like a rather gruesome body horror scenario. I imagine the entire family was brutally torn apart by a monster and a powerful transformation mage created a new body from the remains to save the one family member still alive.)Last edited by Eldan; 2017-10-31 at 02:35 PM.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
In the case that the GM reacts to your character with the idea that you're taking it too far, and/or you failed to roll option 3 on the backstory (part 1) table roll on the following table.
1d12 Dead family member 1 Father 2 Mother 3 Grandparent 4 Sister 5 Brother 6 Identical twin 7 Fraternal twin 8 Son 9 Daughter 10 Self 11 Roll twice and combine 12 Cousin
Assuming you wish for a more optimised deceased family AnonymousWizardPress will be releasing the Ultimate Guide to Dead Family Members as soon as I can be bothered to write it, including both a point build system and random tables to generate the vital status of over six generations of family members.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Don't forget the gloomy motif tables:
Color:
- Dark Red
- Black
- White
- Dark gray
- Deep Purple
- Roll twice and combine
Motif/design:
- Wolf
- Bear
- Eagle
- Dragon
- Demon
- Leaves
- Stripes
- Random gashes
- Reroll, if 1-5 make it crying
- Reroll, if 1-5 make snarling
- Reroll, if wearing armor add spikes, if wearing a cloak or robe add frayed ribbony tassels to ends (like a Mistcloak)
- Roll twice and combine
EDIT: leaf includes any plant motif, and the reason design 11 only includes armor and cloaks is because if you are wearing anything else you aren't edgy enoughLast edited by Personification; 2017-10-31 at 05:50 PM.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
I remember this chart. I got Pain Painskin the True Neutral Human Outlander Hunter Ranger who works for his family. It really was not very edgy at all, but honestly would be quite fun.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Yea, but try it with the dead family member, eyes, and motif/color, then you get:
Pain Painskin the True Neutral Human Outlander Hunter Ranger who works for his family, had an identical twin brother who died, has deep violet eyes, and wears deep purple armor/a deep purple cloak with the helmet/hood (which he always wears up) fashioned like the head of a snarling bear. Plus, all of this introduction is happening while he is standing on a precarious rocky ledge during a thunderstorm, so you can only see him when lightning flashes. When you do see him, it is difficult to tell if the water on his face is just rain, or the brave tears of a tragic hero, and if the latter, is he truly a hero, or just a monster, lying to himself about his evil ways...
See, edgy

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Makes me think of a recent character I had join a group: GC Vengeance Paladin who's parents were killed by vampires, so he turned to Vengeance! (No deity that I know of.) In the second session, a fellow PC had captured Raider, who had surrendered, given up the goods on where his boss was, and was blubbering "please don't kill me I don't want to die!". Ol' Vengie stabbed him in the back.
Admittedly, this was a bandit who had killed plenty of times in the past, and all that crying and pissing of pants was probably annoying to boot.
Okay, Half-drow is just taking things too far.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Why isn't there an option for Half-Aasimar Half-Tiefling? One wing black as the night that I realized my uniqueness was suffering, and the other as white as the innocence that was stolen from me by this uncaring world? Forever tormented by my own superior specialness -- about which I'm totally humble because to me it's just another source of pain -- and outcast from three worlds, or maybe more if the cosmology can be expanded to include more background reasons to support why I'm unique and special.
I want you to PEACH me as hard as you can.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
That so reminds me of that one PBP I once ran where a player submitted a half-fey half-fiend vampire half-something else I forgot. I mean, I said multiple templates was okay, but i had assumed that that would be fluffed as "I'm a dark spirit of nature" or something like that, not "I had a parent who was a demon and a parent who was a fairy and then I was bitten by a vampire."

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Talon Painmark, Neutral Evil Drow Hunter Ranger, is probably played by thirteen year old who rediscovered Drizzt memes from the 90s and decided that he would be a genius and copy them now that everyone's forgotten about their source.
Or at least, he hasn't read the books, so clearly no one else has either.Spoiler

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
If you roll two 8s, you have horizontal slit pupils like a goat.
If you roll three 8s, you have one horizontal pupil and one vertical pupil, and also people refuse to make eye contact with you because it makes them sorta dizzy.
If you roll four 8s, you're from a bizarre cave-dwelling subspecies that doesn't have functioning eyes, but you can see through the pain you feel when the light hits your highly attractive hideous mutant face. No one will ever understand what it means to see the world as shades of pain.
If you roll five 8s, your must stay blindfolded at all times because your eyes are Dark Portals Into The Hideous Terror Dimension, and they will spew forth blood demons to feast upon the world if they are ever freed from their angelic prison (did I mention the blindfold is made from angel-skin leather?). Death, too, will release the evils locked within you, but only you know this, so in order to protect the world you must constantly kill the righteous men and women who hunt you for being the abomination you know you are. Also you cry blood.
If you roll six 8s, instead of eyes you just have knives jutting out of your face. At your option, the hilt or the blade may be protruding.
If you roll seven 8s, you are a construct made out of an animate Robe of Eyes and the soul of a forsaken child, and to conceal your hideous eye-covered (but totally ripped and vaguely sexy) form you have to wrap your entire body in bandages like a mummy. This hurts a ton because you have no eyelids. Also, because you're an artificial human, you're only ever capable of the shadow of real emotion, and this makes you extremely angsty but in like a totally unemotional way. To control the homicidal rages your stolen soul drives you to, you must hunt down and kill serial killers who only kill other serial killers and eat their eyes, which makes you cry viscuous black slime that seeps out from your bandages.
If you roll eight or more 8s, all of the above.Last edited by gkathellar; 2017-11-02 at 10:49 AM.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Referring back to 2D8's other thread on how to tell if evil: these angsty characters may or many not be. But the players who made them sure are.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Man, my edgy character, Levi, just has a regular name. Still, with his tragic past (Orphan adopted by evil wizard to go and do evil deed in his name!), class (Hexblade warlock), and character design (ordinary human but with dark clothes, white hair, and a curved black sword), I think he qualifies for edgelord.

Re: Darkangst Edgemourn the PC
Oh yeah, of course!
Thanks.
I only read 5 pages of "Homeland", and nothing else (I think I was just too old to appreciate it), so I don't tend to think of him (despite his being so prominent in the 5e PHB).
I guess there's also Jack Bauer from 24, and pretty much the whole continent of Westeros on GoT's, but for a character "type" that feels so ubiquitous, I'm actually having a hard time thinking of that many.
Oh right, Naruto.
My 12 year-old son used to be a big fan (we bought him video games for it, and he got a lot of books and DVD's in the series from the library).
All those "hidden villages" seemed full of "edge".
