Explanation of the OP pic character. (pt1)
Originally they were the Tsukumogami (ascendant spirit) of a mansion, but then a young lady was murdered and buried on the property.
After the mansion was abandoned by the noble family that owned it, the ghost of the murdered girl and the mansion spirit spent about 70 years talking playing sharing stories and spooking squatters. During this time the spider goddess of love, Ariadne, came to visit the temple that was part of the abandoned mansion’s grounds. She was surprised to find it ruined, but before she left she discovered, and would subsequently occasionally return to spend time with, the two spirits that lingered there. The occasional trickle of mortal explorers and squatters dried up with the collapse of the nearby village, combined with the growth of the mansion’s haunted reputation.
30 years after THAT the ghost of the girl finally made peace and moved on. The ghost left the spirit of the mansion her remains as a parting gift.
Another 23 years later one of the modern wayward sons of the noble line that had built and then abandoned the mansion came with his servants. He was looking to reform himself, and start a cult dedicated to Ariadne. The ghost of the girl had left a very strong imprint on the spirit of the mansion, it had basically, and now having been alone for 23 years was starved for attention. It quickly decided the master and his servants (the rest of the party) were funny and pored itself into animating the bones it had inherited and dug itself out of the ground.

Since it had spent nearly its entire life essentially imprinting on and then becoming a little sister to the ghost, the spirit acts like an excitable little girl fascinated by positively everything, though with hints of a traumatized past in its behavior and sense of humor.
The skeleton took to wearing a downsized servant's dress and white apron and became an energetic and un-nerving addition to the party who creeps the noble the fuck out. However the noble figured that the skeleton may have been murdered by one of his ancestors and so he resigned himself to being followed around by the enthusiastic little servant until the end of his days. Since it would not give a name the party started calling it ‘her’ “Dem Bones” and she quickly began answering to “Dem”.
Being what she is, Dem is prone to throw tantrums will throw tantrums if something rubs her the wrong way or she decides she doesn't like someone or something and it can be time consuming to change her mind.
Eventually it became clear that Ariadne’s non-responsiveness to her worshipers and apparent disappearance was because she had had a daughter who had taken her place, but had not proven mature enough to actually have the full powers and responsibilities of a deity. Ariadne the 2nd took an unhealthy interest in the noble member of the party and this ended up becoming part of a celestial gambit to get Ariadne the 2nd to mature enough to actually be trusted to do her damn job.
Dem ended up getting a happy ending as, thanks to the efforts of some other party members, the barrier between this world and whatever celestial plane Ariadne the 1st had retired to was temporarily weakened so that Dem could be reunited with “Spider-Mommy”. Ariadne the 1st was able to pull Dem’s spirit though to the other side before the barrier snapped back.

and here is the GM version of the template.
>>53687199
He was my favorite samurai, he was. Once killed a teammate on accident, bringing down an entire rickety old house in the swamp.
>>53687199
This one should be pretty obvious.
>>53687543
Good on you, Anon! Regular, or antitribu?
>>53687629
Regular
>>53687199
It's pretty much what it looks like. Wanted to play someone in a position of power and respect who had basically just gotten fuckin lucky and was actually a really really retarded/shitty person. I made this pic a long time ago, although if I remade it today I;d probably put some pics of Kazuma from Konosuba in the last box.
>>53687543
>The same stronk black man trope in each panel
For what purpose?
>>53687418
>Once killed a teammate on accident, bringing down an entire rickety old house in the swamp.
please tell me more about how this happened.
Was it like the swamp town where samurai jack and the scotsman fought off bounty hunters and the local sheriff at the end of the episode where they met, and in the process the village was torn up?
>>53687592
she was the oppressed slave, and became the oppressive imperial warlord?
>>53687645
normally you can't inherit being a paladin because your god checks your fucking resume before deciding if you are "champion of good as I God X define it" material.
How did paladins work in the world your group was playing in?
>>53687766
It's more about personality and playstyle.
I made a strong combat character with some social skills and some investigative streak.
GM saw an intrusive dick too curious for his own good (even if he can hadle most of the fallout)
Ended up playing a charming reserved and calm big guy that tries to solve problems non-violently and is it falis just walks towars bad guys shruging off the icoming damage and knock them off with his bare hands
>>53687861
The DM kept the existence of gods vague. Paladins were basically spellswords that were born with "white" magic instead of the regular flavor of blasty "arcane" magic.
>>53687548
what is that dm saw subtitle from?
>>53687902
Hentai, obviously.I have no clue what the original video was called, if you search for "elf rape" you'll find it originally.
>>53687902
>>53687920
Slutty Princess Diaries. I dunno the Japanese name
>>53687870
>Doakes is an intrusive dick for being suspicious of a literal psychopath and picking up on his weird as fuck mannerisms
All of my wats
>>53687900
so fighters mixed with support sorceror who are also supposed to be charismatic. and aren't champions that were singled out by gods. Gottcha,
makes more sense now how this guy is a thing.
>>53687920is it any good or is it normal weak plot weak character porn with a fantasy reskin?
>>53688067
dick = detective
I think that other anon is saying that he belives that the GM saw Doakes type characters as holding back Dexter type characters (which the GM saw as the average PC) in a way that was bad.
>>53688067
In VtM every character is a psychopath. It's a setting where it's better not to poke too deep.
>>53687199
what a strange, yet fun campaign.
Mutants and Masterminds. I've had worse games, but my god, my team mates seemed to care little about innocents getting caught in the crossfire.
>>53688514
Care to tell more?

Champion Baby Foot... I got nothing
>>53694567
Pro Wrestling terms
He made a Wrestler
DM thought he'd be a Babyface(good guy, Rey Mysterio comes to mind)
He wound up playing a Heel(Bad guy, Randy Orton)
>>53694685
Shows how much I watch pro-wrestling. Cheers.
>>53691251
Shame the middle one didn't turn out like this.
>>53692398
