#fantasy character writing
I think it’d be neat if you have a character who’s whole vibe seems much cooler than they actually are.
Like, a character could wear black form concealing clothes overlayed with plates of tarnished steel armour who’s metal has been forged into bold and aggressive unnatural shapes.
Their voice could be deep and gravely their every sentence verging on sounding like the roar of an ancient and deadly beast.
And then their job could be a structural engineer who fixes damaged castles well after all the fighting in an area is gone, and even then after they send some workers to begin the repairs they mostly just spend their time snoozing or birdwatching.
CW: Marriage
I think it’d be an interesting and potentially funny idea for you to have a group of characters be married to each other (or at least claim to be married to each other) entirely for taxation reasons.
And you could also do the whole “Hahaha we’re just doing it for ulterior motives, but are we really?” romance thing.
But it would be much funnier for an entire close-knit adventuring group to just be like “Yep I sure do love my partner for entirely romantic reasons, and we just love taking massive gold hoards from dungeons with our friends who also got married at the same time”
It’d be funny if you had a character that calls every four-legged animal they see a dog, and no one ever corrects them because they can’t be bothered.
Oh, and maybe they do know that all the different animals have different names and stuff, but they still just refer to them all as dogs anyway because it’s easier.
CW: Fighting
If you have a character with head horns, it is your duty to have an object get awkwardly stuck on their head after someone else slams on ‘em.
I think it’s always cool when an unquestionably heroic character uses some sort of power or item with evil origins.
Especially when the hero uses it to help very silly and mundane situations, like:
Some kid could go “Oh no my pet rock is stuck in a tree!” Then in response, some guy in a slightly horrific suit of armor that looks as if it’s alive walks up and climbs the tree barely managing to get up it before finally after like four minutes grabbing the rock, and then falling out of the tree directly onto their ass.
