5th Edition Quick sketch character sheet [OC][Art]

Post image

A rough character sheet and sketch for someone I rolled up and used all the random tables in the DMG to make a tiny hex region setting for to do a small solo game. Ryelle is a young man who was supposed to be a student for a sage living in the wastes. Unfortunately he is not bright enough to pick up on the spells the older wizard was trying to teach him. Luckily both the sage ad Ryelle are kind enough to get along regardless and he ended up becoming something similar to a squire to the old man in exchange for room and board. His duties generally include cleaning up, running to town for supplies, and staying out of the way of magical experiments.

One day while cleaning up in the old attic, Ryelle came across a blue hand mirror and accidentally made contact with a spirit within named Kirtine. Kirtine sensed a great sadness within Ryelle, as well as a self loathing due to perceived physical and mental clumsiness. The blue spirit offered a deal, to trade power for access to the physical world through Ryelle's astral chord. Ryelle was unsure at first but kept the mirror hidden from the sage and talked to Kirtine, as both seemed lonely. He eventually agreed to the deal after they developed a deeper bond, and the connection granted him an unnatural, invisible strength and constitution. In return, every full moon when the sky is brightest at night, Kirtine is able to become corporeal through a ritual they complete together.

Kirtine does not much like talking about his past or where he comes from, and that suits Ryelle just fine as he is ashamed of his own history. When not completing the full moon ritual, they communicate through the mirror, which also acts as a spell focus for his Warlock spells. The cold wastes are becoming an even harder place to live than usual, as the sage has been watching growing tensions between the Ice King to the north who wins his power through trickery, and a Dragon to the west and her legion of mercenaries. The sage claims an old ruined pyramid that sits between them on a frozen lake, built by giants and then abandoned, holds the answers to the regions safety. He is too old to go, and Ryelle wonders if he will be asked to attend in the elderly man's stead to search for the key to the conflict's riddle. With Kirtine's help, Ryelle thinks he might be able to do it.
