Answering Questions From That Meme That Popped Out At Me (aka The Ones I Can Answer Quickly)
answering questions from that meme that popped out at me (aka the ones i can answer quickly)
2. what was your original concept for this character? how did playing them change that concept?
roma's original concept was a gentle person who desperately wanted to be loved/liked (VERY VAGUE CONCEPTUALLY) and this photo
His name used to be Amata to reflect this. Roma's current concept started with that "I was, in fact, raised by wolves" backstory snippet from DM's Guide, and that's still currently one of the cruxes of his character.
4. what one person, place, or thing do they love more than anything else?
van wicky c:
7. there’s a magic item (or technological innovation, or special resource) made just for them—what is it?
a pouch that dispenses little trinkets that he can give away, usually nature-y things or sparkly trinkets... things fey generally like
8. what songs remind you of them? if there are specific lyrics or movements, list ‘em!
this section from phoebe bridgers' graceland too
and that era of really high energy petty early 00s pop punk, paramore's misery business and olivia rodrigo's good 4 u type vibes
13. what are some motifs you associate with them? did you intentionally bring in those motifs, or did it happen over time?
Deep forest greens (intentional), shadows intentionally and also unintentionally thru campaign events, pinecones and pine trees (unintentional)
20. what attracts them to someone—platonically and/or romantically, anything counts.
i described roma's type to a friend of mine and they said "so someone who looks like they'd survive natural selection?" and that's pretty much it
23. in what moment did they consider themselves to be “grown up”?
When he could keep up with pack hunts without physically struggling. When he got taller.
24. are they close to any family members?
He was actually very close to his (dog) mom and pretty close with the rest of his (dog) family.
29. what feelings do they internalize?
Pain! Mostly physical, but on the occasions he can't dispel it mental as well. He's pretty good at hiding it in that, wild animals hiding their wounds way
35. when did they feel loneliest?
Dying after Strahd killed him, and having to broker a deal with Osybus to live again.
39. are they insecure about their appearance? how about their personality? what aspects specifically worry them?
Not normally (at least not for long) but currently their biggest worry is that Osybus is going to change Roma into someone he currently would hate, but after transformation he simply wouldn't realize.
Generally, he is worried about coming to hate the people he currently likes, because the deal he has with Osybus seems to mean that every time he makes a wish in the future it'll continuously change Roma as he knows himself until unrecognizable
48. do they relate to anyone in their group? conversely, which person do they relate to the least?
In the party, when they were still around Roma connected with Elle the most, and for the most part Roma's felt fundamentally opposed to Vice.
52. how would they dress themselves up for a formal event?
Unfortunately they wouldn't go to a formal event ): But I imagine if they went they'd dress in a simple black linen dress, square shaped neckline, narrow sleeves that go over his knuckles, and a Really bushy flower crown made of pine leaves and smaller pinecones. Pine perfume. Barefoot.
53. do they keep their plans close to their chest?
No, he infodumps if people care to ask
56. who would they trust with their life, unequivocally?
van wicky
58. how often do they swear? do they mind when others swear?
Doesn't swear, doesn't mind if others do though!
63. what’s a meme or tiktok or vine (or whatever) that you associate with them?

additional au stuff
other au stuff i keep thinking about is roma (after making fun of ez losing x magic thing for the fifty millionth time) is that he explicitly tells her to come visit whenever she wants a hot meal and a quiet place to nap and that theres a space for her if ever she feels like occupying
various witchlight doodles and backlog!
some old man design iterations
our fated ally loves licking cursed objects and hissing at water AMA
currently it's roma's turn to babysit the party cat and since she's cast levitate on herself roma's been pulling her around like a balloon, which has been very cute to me
Do you like biting ?
ya that’s why they’re putting me down tonight
Hourlies Comic our Curse of Strahd party did - PART 1
Mine follows Aiden, my warlock character, as he spends a day in Ravenloft to be trained personally by Lord Strahd himself.
We are at the beginning of the day though, where he has time to spend on his studies - only to be interrupted, as a certain lady is tormenting Gertruda, another guest at the castle. Surely she must be in great trouble....
