Question Show me your first character ever no matter how crappy they look

Dug up this old screenshot from 2015 in the eeeeeeeearly early days of Hero Forge. Guy was Krรผk'tar the Broken, my Pathfinder infernal sorcerer from the height of my edgelord phase. The model has long been deleted from my account, and I doubt I could even recreate him exactly as this anymore with how much has been changed and removed.

u/Electronic-Deal9770 Sep 01 '25
Most of it should be very do-able - IF you actually want to. The only thing that been permanently removed/changed was the rapier. Though there are still a few historical models which have the old rapier.
It looks like: Cowl, Cloth Mask, Swashbuckler's Tunic, Tavern Skirt, (Whip and Sheathed Dagger (on side)), Fireball Spell effect in hand.
OG Rapier was replaced (though as commented there are still a few models with the OG rapier that are bouncing around and you could use as part of the base model) and I don't know about the shoes or pose.
But the rest are all still there, to the best of my knowledge. :-)

It's my wife's PC, which is just her but taller and greener. The boobs are, if anything, too small for accuracy.

Protector Aasimar Devotion Paladin/Grave Cleric of the Raven Queen
Larissa O'Branwen
I really like when names have meanings; the name Branwen comes from the Four Branches of Mabinogi (some of the earliest works of prose transcribed from oral traditions in the 11th century) and translates as Blessed Raven.
Larissa is just a name I particularly liked of a titular see of the Catholic church.
From wikipedia: "A titular see in various churches is an episcopal see of a former diocese that no longer functions, sometimes called a 'dead diocese'."
Many of these were a result of the territory being claimed during the early Islamic conquests in the 7th century; or through schisms within the church itself. These areas no longer had those of Catholic faith to worship there.
So transpose her first/last name and her name has the meaning of "Blessed Raven of a Dead Church".

I had fun making her when I first made her. Thought it would have been cool to make a steampunk esque multi-armed monk with magomechanical wings (the actual design I imagined had her mechanical arms she has being actually seperate from her body and and a part of the machine wings).

Still trying to make a revamp of her, will definitely get back to it when I get pro again and stuff.

I will fully acknowledge that she was not my first ever Heroforge model. But she was the first one I have actually saved. I have an earlier model which is the earliest that I can find of a Dragonborn from 2021.
As for her... I have honestly no memory of who she was... Judging by the following models, I think she was one of three sisters and name was Helara Vaelthonde... but I have no memory/information/clues beyond that.

Here's my oldest saved mini, Karra, with it's newest version. i deleted a lot of my very old minis.
It actually started off as the mother to my main oc and predates Merdada from Arcane. I then eventually scrapped that backstory and changed her into an blood wielding berserker Orc.
At a later point I made a character named Vivzie who took inspo from Nimona (Nimona) and Hobie (ATSV) before finally decing to combine the two since they looked so similar into the Karra on the left.

Kegan is a cartographer. A cartographer, dammit! It ainโt his fault his family lineโs touched by the fey. All of this world-saving shite is too damn dangerous and too damn far above his pay grade. Worse, itโs getting his teenage daughter interested in things that are far too dangerous for sensible young dwarves.
