Nazzod

Old Elf / Priest of the God of the Grave

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

There is no stat block for what Nazzod is. He is not a combat encounter. He is not a quest giver. He is the oldest living being most mortals will ever meet, and all he does is remember. He serves Calara, the God of the Grave, Remembrance and Memory. He knows every name carved into every headstone i

Nora Jade

Leonid / Khjask hybrid / Druid

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Nora is a second generation character. Her parents were PCs from two different campaigns my group ran back to back and when we started a new one our DM said we could set it in the same universe, same timeline, just years later. I looked at the party and said what if I played their kid. And here we a

Novik Darkflame

Genasi / Ranger

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Novik wasn't sure if he was supposed to live or die ... but live he did. Torn from his home world by a hooded figure, Novik lost everything. His memories. His home. Even his own name. He had lost it all, until one fateful night brought him to the silver scales of something so rare, no one ever belie

Nyx

Shifter / Moon Druid, Wild Heart Barbarian

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

The Reforged Fury - She became the monster once, then chose to be the shield instead. "You are a protector born from the Blackfen, where patience and survival taught you to wait before you strike. What brought you back was not the rage that freed you, but the fear in eyes you loved. You carry the we

Nyxaris "Nyx" Ray

Drow / Bard

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Nyx was meant to be one night's entertainment and never got to leave. A drow raised under a stranger's big top, she dances because it is the only freedom the ring allows her. The silver bells in her hair are not jewelry. They are a leash. Her ringmaster enchanted them so she can be found anywhere sh

Olivia Senatore

Drow / Rogue

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Olivia is a drow who left the Underdark and never looked back. That's the short version. The long version involves about 180 years of pretending to be someone she wasn't, a crisis of faith that nearly killed her, and a Kobold named Rax who she'd now walk through fire for without a second thought. S

Paragon

Divine Construct / Monk

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Paragon was created by Ritus to guide and protect mortalkind, but after a disastrous act of unilateral “salvation,” he was ordered to withdraw and observe. When Ritus vanished before returning, Paragon spent tens of thousands of years trapped in his god's demiplane watching civilizations rise, suffe

Rhaeven Marric

Human / Warlock

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Rhaeven Marric was born in Scornubel, beneath smoke-stained roofs and beside the brown waters of the Chionthar, where every coin had to pass through danger before it reached a purse. His mother sold dyed wool from Amn. His father hauled small luxuries by wagon along the Trade Way. Rhaeven inherited

Rise

Tiefling / Fighter (Battle Master)

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Rise has been a soldier for most of her life. She is in her late thirties now, quick enough to make a heavy blade look slow and experienced enough to avoid fights that only look impressive. Her gold skin and crown of horns are memorable. The way she watches without blinking tends to be what people m

Sir Caelan Voss

Human / Paladin

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Caelan is kneeling because he needs a moment. He has lost both eyes, the bandages are wet with green-black ichor, and something from his left shoulder is still trying to work its way up his neck. He is exhausted. He has not surrendered. The chalice on his breastplate has been struck through. He onc

Spitfire (birth name Harlow)

Variant Tiefling / Blood Hunter

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Her dad named her Spitfire because he said he could see actual fire in her eyes. She's a variant Tiefling with deep blue skin covered in dark freckles and white hair in two messy braids threaded with gold. She wears white on purpose. White leather armor, white fabrics, all of it. Because she wants t

Suri Rose

Human / Sorcerer

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Suri Rose survived the night vampires killed her family and burned her home. She remembers being small enough to hide under the stairs and thinking that she could not die there. Everything since has been a way of making sure she never has to make that plea again. She grew into a sorcerer who studie

Takara (Circe)

Fairy / Sorcerer/Warlock

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Takara was remembered as the most powerful witch in history, not because of raw force alone, but because of how completely she understood power itself. Once known as Circe, twin sister to Queen Titania of the Fae, she had abandoned her birthright willingly, choosing mastery over dominion. Where othe

Tav Nouvelle

Elven Vampire Spawn / Rogue

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

She was inspired by a late night exploration of the mod manager on Bg3 where I found a mod that allows your character to be a vampire spawn like Astarion- which brought to mind an idea. What if Astarion and my favorite Tav went down each other paths? If he never became Cazador's spawn, but she did?

The Dusk Penitent

Reborn / Paladin

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

The Dusk Penitent was an oathbreaker before he died. He knows that much. Divine power has dragged him back into a body that is half decayed flesh and half exposed bone, but it has kept the rest of his past from him. His greatsword still carries a weak radiant glow. The broken amulet at his throat gi

Tillywhip Saltwhistle

Wechselkind / Cleric/Druid/Sorcerer

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

The crew of the Osprey were sailing the seas of Thalaross when they saw a barrel floating. Thinking they’d get supplies, they fished it up. When opened, a giant slinky sprung out! With the slinky was a blur of red and black. “Ta-da!” exclaimed Tilly, as if she set herself out to sea just to be abl

Tyffan’i

Eladrin / Bard (College of Dance)

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Tyffan'i is on her first proper trip away from her community, and so far the wider world has proved very good at providing material. The inns are stranger than she expected, the people are wonderfully complicated, and nearly everyone seems to be hiding something romantic if she asks the right questi

Vareth Thornroot

Haranir / Druid

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Vareth Thornroot knows the sound a healthy root makes through stone. He learned it as a child in Deepbranch, a sheltered grove whose oldest trees grow toward light that never reaches the ground. He still rests his palm against doorframes before entering a house. Wood has usually noticed trouble befo

Velistra Vey

Drow / Fighter

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Velistra has very little patience for people who confuse being polite with being in charge. She keeps her chin up, her glaive close, and her opinions to herself until someone makes that impossible. She left the household that gave her the long scar down her neck. Now she takes escort work on the su

Velrath Ilmraen

Dhampir / Fighter

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Velrath Ilmraen was born to a fading Dambrathan bloodline old enough to remember honor, but too ruined to command it. The Ilmraen name still opened a few doors in Cathyr, though never the best ones, and Velrath grew up understanding that he was not being raised as an heir. He was the last useful son

Vincent Van'fae

Genara / Druid

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Vincent Van'fae, known as the Master of Manipulation, was one of the most elusive and dangerous figures within the Cult of the Eternal. His powers of subterfuge and control allowed him to manipulate individuals, shape events, and infiltrate societies easily. He first emerged in the Sleepy Wetlands,

Xyrkrana

Mark of Scribing Gnome / Cleric

Jan's favourite. FF portrait (submitter-confirmed).

Xyrkrana is very good at looking like she meant to do that. It became a survival skill after a wild surge won a battle she was certain her side had already lost. People called her chosen. They asked for blessings, speeches, another miracle. She smiled for all of it, while trying to remember which pa
