My 100% Serious D & D Character Ideas 1-25
I have really invested in twitter lately as a way to interact with D & D community. My favorite contribution has been sharing character ideas! There simply aren't enough games for me to get to play every character I wanna play, so sharing these ideas is the next best thing!
Feel free to use any of these in your games!
#1
A small-sized clone of a medium-sized wizard. 
#2
A squirrel wizard that lives in the branches of a treefolk controlled by my friend. 
#3
A toaster, an electric blanket, a radio, a lamp and/or a vacuum. 
#4
A sleepy genius hero with a narcolepsy curse that always has the
answer but the GM rolls a d20 every time he talks too long and at the
beginning of every combat round to see if he passes out. 
#5
A flying monkey looking for work after their last two bosses got crushed by a house and melted by a bucket of water. 
#6
A peasant named "Tongo Brungus" that somehow stumbled into becoming
the highest ranked member of the adventurer's guild. He is proficient in
pitchforks. He pretends he is an expert but is internally panicking
100% of the time. 
#7
Magically conjoined twins: they share the same position in
space-time but can't exist simultaneously. I'd swaps back and forth
between female and male twins that share everything but have never met. 
#8
A luck dragon who got his wish to experience a lifetime as a person.
White hair, red eyes, and miraculous timing. (5e Variant Human with
Lucky feat.) 
#9
An artificial adventurer who escaped from a model dungeon created by a
beholder for his twisted amusement. He created sadistic challenges for
them and, when they died, he puts them back together to reset for the
next "game" 
#10
An prince exiled by his father... the invincible all-powerful evil
overlord. He seeks to regain his father's favor or betray him to claim
the throne. He fakes his identity and joins the heroes on their quest as
a guide. 
#11
In a game with a invincible evil overlord is an undead menace, his
twin brother, who is also undead and scary, is actually a big sweetheart
paladin who helps little old ladies cross the street and gets cats out
of trees. 
#12
A curious heroine who, as a child, stumbled upon a portal to a mad
but wondrous fey kingdom. She visited it in her dreams and befriended
the fey. But she grew up--the dreams stopped. She now seeks adventure
and a way to return to her friends. 
#13
A prophecy foretells the evil overlord's death and mentions a dog.
He has all of the dogs in the kingdom exterminated. To save his beloved
dog, a wizard turns him into a human and raises him as his ward. Dog
Knight is born!
#14
A tailor who adventures to see the fashions of the world and become
a legendary designer. Fashion has to be more interesting in a high
fantasy world: designers have access to magic, exotic materials, and the
funding of fantasy villains. 
#15
A dashing merfolk prince who has left the sea on a quest to prove
his father wrong about humans. His father is Ao Guang, the legendary
Loong-Wang (dragon king) of the East Sea, and the prince has hundreds of
royal siblings 
#16
A spellcaster tried to bypass divine powers to resurrect his mother
using his father's research. He and his brother failed and paid dearly.
He now quests to find his father and help his brother get his body back.
#17
A talking pig. Maybe he was cursed by a witch or awakened by a
farmer druid or from a land of fables and wants revenge on the big bad
wolf. Or maybe just a witch with a pig familiar. Pigs!
#18
A godling who has been cast out of the heavens for his transgressions.
He must prove himself worthy as a mortal, putting his life on the line,
before he can regain his godhood. 
#19
A teddy bear awakened by a wish spell. He becomes an adventure when his
owner is kidnapped, grows up or becomes an adventurer. Gods help you if
you do anything to hurt his owner. 
#20
The illegitimate child of the legendary hero. The hero had many
lovers and love children before he became the king. Now, the bastard and
a party of half-siblings is on a quest to get revenge or years of
unpaid child support. Or maybe they're fighting over their father's inheritance?
#21
A ratfolk chimney sweep who becomes an adventurer to impress a
female human/elf spellcaster he has fallen in love with. Bad cockney
accent and all. Lucky feat at 4. Bard or rogue? 
#22
A sorcerer who specializes in fire and ice spells. His father is a
legend but an abusive & demanding patriarch. Our hero seeks to forge
his own identity and destiny separate from his father's selfish
designs. 
Sophie practiced in a garden near the school. Her results were mediocre. A strangely handsome & enchanting fellow approached her and gave her some tips. He agreed to teach her but for a price: a kiss for each lesson. Reluctantly, she agreed to pay it.
The lessons went on throughout the summer and, while the fellow made Sophie uncomfortable, she showed progress. One day, the fellow revealed his true self: he was a fey noble and would soon be forced to return to the feywild before first leaf's fall of autumn.
The fey confessed that he had fallen in love Sophie. He asked her to come with him to continue her training in his palace, staying forever young, and to become his bride. Sophie declined his offer. She thanked him his help but she declined his offer. The fey's eyes became ice.

The fey noble enchanted Sophie and stole her away. He used his magicks to keep her under his control, marrying her against her will, and keeping her in a blissful and timeless haze as a prisoner in his palace. One day a small voice broke her walking dream.
A mouse had been living in her dresser and took pity on her. While she seemed happy in her waking hours, each night he heard her tossing, turning, screaming in her sleep. He broke the spell and begged her to escape before the fey lord knew his charm was broke. He knew.
The fey noble came into the room and stomped on the mouse. Sophie screamed in despair as he turned his icy eyes on her. Before he could cast his charm, Sophie counter-spelled. His ice turned to flame but she had learned. She spoke his true name. She injured him. She then ran.
The way back to the portal was all confusion but her heart knew the way. She returned to the material plane. It was summer's end but the garden was gone. It hadn't been days, weeks, months, seasons, years-- it had been a century. Sophie had escaped her common life.
Now what?
#24
An awakened gelatinous cube. She wants to hug everything but is made of acid.
#25
Vainglory the Unicorn was once a legend
but has become a spoiled jerk. He is punished by a vengeful fey queen to
learn humility and grace. Vainglory must prove himself to regain his
place in the fey court.For more of these ideas and other random musings, check out https://twitter.com/Imple_Jr
