Yesterday was my group's regularly scheduled weekly D&D session and we're doing a bonus one today. Normally we just play every Wednesday but we're going on a hiatus in December for the holidays/people traveling, but we've been trying to do more sessions up until then. It's a little stressful at times, but I love playing with my group so it's still really good.
We play 4e and my character, Zenlias, is a Winterkin Eladrin swordmage with a focus on ice abilities. His whole deal is that he's trying to be reunited with his wife, who happens to have turned into the Raven Queen after her death. He's now on a mission to get to the Shadowfell and find her and return to her side. The kicker is that even though he should be able to just die and end up in the Shadowfell, he's been cursed to be immortal. What should kill him, doesn't.
However, he hasn't tested that fact in a long time and he's gotten to the point where he's not sure if that would even be the best option for him. He's growing to care for his companions (one in particular more than the others) and doesn't want to leave them. At least, he's conflicted about it. He says that he doesn't care about the motives/goals of 90% of the party but that's really just him lashing out due to his own issues. He's a passionate guy, for good and for bad and I love that about him.
I'm planning on posting more of my writing about him, especially things about his backstory. But yeah! I'm excited for D&D!
