❝ After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it...an exploration of :           reproductive centric themes, body horror, cosmic horror, religious themesindie, private and selective original character from a real D&D campaign. loved by Steffu21+ ONLY, NO MINORS ALLOWED. I WILL NOT INTERACT WITH ANYONE BELOW THE AGE OF 21.

▍ ❝   RULE ONE.
Drama is not tolerated. I do not like drama. I'm sure no one does. Callouts without legitimate reasoning will be discarded and the one doing the callout will be perma blocked. Please note that my consideration for a ‘legitimate’ callout is real people being hurt. Vague posting may also get you perma blocked as I take that as an INDICATOR for potential drama. I PERMABLOCK anyone who harasses someone else, regardless of what it's over. I'm thirty-one years old and I am very tired. I come here to decompress. Drop your discourse at the door. If you cannot handle nuance, we will also not get along. Strict black and white thinking in a world where there’s countless shades of grey is a massive turnoff for me.TERFs, homophobes, racists, fatphobes, ableists, zionists, nazis, etc do NOT have a place here. This is not your safe space and it never will be.▍ ❝   RULE TWO.
Connor is a near and dear character of mine I've been playing since 2018 and have commissioned a lot of art of, from single pieces to ships (my favorite types of commissions). I ship with chemistry, and I am someone who really ships quite freely and willingly. I love smashing my barbie doll against other people's barbie dolls.That being said, I'm very slow in general from ship replies to general replies. So I ask for a bit of lenience. I'm working on my masters in engineering right now on top of my 9-5. I'm also a volunteer EMT. When I come back is a mystery even to me. If I’m not helping save lives or escorting your local grandma to the hospital, I’m probably writing a paper. Or playing dungeons and dragons... Or doing volunteer community work. I like being the change I want to see in the world.▍ ❝   RULE THREE.If you unfollow, please softblock. I won't ask nor will I care why you left, it's not an airport--you don't need to tell me. To me it feels like the equivalent of leaving the door open when you depart if you don’t. PLEASE CLOSE THE DOOR ON YOUR WAY OUT! Thank you! I don’t expect people to remember this so if you do, awesome, if not, no worries.

▍ ❝   RULE FOUR.
Connor is a very freaky character. A walking kink, in truth. And I'm very shy about said kinks.Any nsfw threads will either be taken to discord or my nsfw designated sideblog.Anything sensitive content wise aside from smut related topics will be tagged accordingly, though I doubt much of that will happen here to begin with, if at all. Best you’ll probably get is Connor eating someone because they had it coming. Connor’s generally a good boy besides being overbearing and controlling from anxiety. I tag things upon request as well. Just please ask.I do not have any triggers. If I don’t like something, I don’t read it. I curate my own online experience. I don’t have any DNI’s either. I'm a huge advocate of keeping yourself safe.▍ ❝   RULE FIVE.Please use proper punctuation with me. This isn't me being mean I promise--it just makes reading harder for me. I got a very minor case of difficulty reading so less is more for me.▍ ❝   RULE SIX.
Connor's campaign storyline and full canon backstory will not be included for here on tumblr. It is long and complex. In Connor's canon backstory, he is heavily reliant on my DM's PC who Connor is deeply entangled with to the point where Connor practically doesn't exist without them. In a desire to respect my character's canon relationship and canon storyline, all interactions on this blog will be treated as alternate universes and non-canon. Sorry if this disappoints anyone for any reason. Connor would not be here without my DM @skeletone, and I love her dearly for continuing to run this campaign he's in for 6+ years and counting.

❝ Born in 1022 DR, Alistair Reiter was a priest of Lathander in a small town of Del'Marlington. His youth was spent living in a body that strangely didn't feel like it belonged to him.Turns out, it didn't.Alistair Reiter was a man born when his mother was carrying a mysterious infection that was given to the fetus in utero. Inside his body, he carries a parasite from the Far Realm. That same parasite spread to his child he later had when he married the love of his life and settled down to have a family. The infection became genetic. Whatever deep horrors embedded itself in Alistair and his daughter's DNA festered.With his daughter's sudden passing, this turned Alistair Reiter to dark forces to bring her back to life. Such dark forces involved striking a pact with an evil entity. Using the power of necromancy, Alistair went wild, to attaching limbs to his own body in his experimentation of his new abilities to now bringing his daughter back. Bringing his child back backfired immensely and resulted in Alistair having to kill his daughter himself after she came back wrong.

Alistair's own hubris with this newfound power resulted in the undead he experimented on countlessly to rebel against him, killing him, his wife, and the villages nearby. His own home was included among the sites destroyed by the rebellious undead.Centuries passed, and Alistair found himself resurrected against his will by a mysterious force. Was it his patron he made a pact with in life? Hard to say, but now bones, Alistair has found that he contains a mass of tendrils inside his skeleton, horrified to find out that the mass of tentacles is actually who he is, and perhaps has been, this whole time. An undead parasite that was once living in a human body, he is laid bare in but a case of bone.It is at this point that Alistair emerges from the site he and others were buried in death, and dons the name 'Connor', the name of a man on a gravestone he passed by and saw. The change of names is symbolic to him as starting a new page and shedding his previous life that he's so deeply ashamed of.Stuck in this state of undeath, Connor now vows to find a way to properly die and find eternal peace, while also doing good around them as repentance for their past misdeeds in life.

▍ ❝   I. Dragon Age Verse
An experiment gone wrong, Connor was a hope spirit until bound into a custom built form and corrupted of its original purpose. A walking corpse, Connor defies most expectations of undead by showing free will thanks to the golden chains that keep him from going the typical way of demons.With a desire to live, Connor seeks to find purpose, advocate for spirits, and help clear out other demons as needed, despite being one himself--in particular, a fear demon.He can often be found under the guide of the Mourn Watch, where he has been given the chance to prove himself. However, one wrong step, and any further advocacy for his existence could be on the line.

▍ ❝   II. D&D Verse
Recognized as an honorary resident of Waterdeep, Connor lingers in the scholarly parts of the city, particularly in the libraries and academies, where he can teach the youth about the dangers of necromancy, as well as various other magics.He doesn't show himself in public often, and when he does, he roams the city in disguise, mindful to not cause or create panic among the residents. He already walks a thin line among the Lathander worshipers in the Spires of the Morning in the Castle Ward of the city.

▍ ❝   III. Unaffiliated Verse
There's a peculiar forest that hosts a gravesite. Often regarded as a cryptid and hardly spotted, this mysterious entity breaches the realms of the reality that we know today.No one knows what roams around this abandoned graveyard and the surrounding forest. Some report seeing Death walking among it. Others report an otherworldly presence, alien in nature. Whatever is here is not from Earth--at least, that's what many think. It's hard to say.Only the bravest of adventurers will truly find out.

▍ ❝   VERSE ONE. - Unaffiliated Verse
Death wanders a fine line between the realm of mortals. Tall, large, and imposing, this twelve foot tall god watches from the other side of the veil, pulling the strings only as deemed necessary. Those in near death circumstances or those that are dying are quite prone to seeing this six armed deity in their dreams.Whether through divine protection or some other reason, this good aligned death god has a few entities and forces they keep tabs on. This death god is not just the death of mortals, but of all things and every thing--as everything, does in fact, come to an end, one way or the other.

▍ ❝   VERSE TWO. - D&D Verse
Knocking the Raven Queen off her pedestal and ascending to godhood after her corruption, Connor now deals with the fact that the Raven Queen is a dead power and the knowledge that not all dead powers remain dead.He seeks for his agents to run missions for him, and to return in a timely manner to his demiplane in the Shadowfell with any updates. It's only a matter of time before the Raven Queen's tower on the other side of the seemingly endless Shadowfell fills with her presence, and a war between the two death gods will be imminent.

▍ ❝   VERSE THREE. - Unaffiliated Verse
Death takes many forms. And in this form, Death wanders the world in the shape of a man. The world around them is none the wiser.This entity often wanders the world as a history professor. Whether rooted in the city and teaching the youth or out on a sabbatical, they know the fate of every person they meet.Kindness first and foremost is the highest virtue. Death tries their best to not get too attached to mortals and opts to quietly admire and love from a distance.
