Newt [OC]

Newt

Newt is my main D&D Character for a campaign that's been running for almost 2 years! Currently, we are lvl 10 and our DM is running Tomb of Annihilation. She's a swamp triton nature cleric with anger issues, fierce loyalty to her friends, and a grudge against her god. Her spiritual weapon is a giant catfish named Wrath.


 Backstory 

  • (this is the abridged version lol)

  • Newt spent much of her life alone in a swamp, living in nature in service to her god. She was content and loved her home and the creatures living in it.

  • A small town up in the mountains near Newt's swamp found valuable metals in the mountains. Over time, the small town became a bustling mining town. The hazardous waste from their mining operations and the waste from the rapidly expanding town was dumped downstream, eventually flowing into the swamp.

  • Over decades, the swamp and everything in it was slowly poisoned. Newt spent years and years begging her god to save her home and the creatures in it. Eventually, all the plants and animals had withered and died and she was the only thing left in her once-vibrant home.

  • Eventually she gave up and left, harboring a grudge against her god that would fester and grow. In her mind, her god had abandoned and ignored her, letting her home be destroyed.

  • She now travels with new friends, clinging to the remaining shreds of her faith that she uses to heal them and fight with them.

  • Some more info that Izzy (fellow party member, also on spacehey) isn't allowed to see because its spoilers can be found [HERE] ;3c

The Last Call
The rest of the party!

  • Nadhav (he/him), human swashbucker rogue. Charismatic, the "face" of the party. Searching for revenge against someone who killed a loved one.

  • Russ (he/him), reborn aberrant mind sorcerer/ranger. Probably/definitely a corpse taken over by fungi. Also he has an aboleth living in his mind. It's fine.

  • Dei (she/her), satyr warlock who made a deal with a unicorn to save her apple orchard. The voice of reason and most level-headed member of the party.

  • Hemlock (she/her), fairy circle of stars druid. A stuffy anthropologist who is relatively new to the party.
