Lissandra by bmartinsds on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

While I was studying to develop this process of creating consistent characters I made some experimentations with another D&D character I play with, the wizard Lissandra of the divination school of magic.

We can notice that she is not as consistent as Aurora on her generations, but for some reason I keep loving her generations, don't know why 😏 sometimes I get myself very happy with a generation just to later realize that it is one of those where her face is not quite her.

Anyways, Lissandra keeps her story and the reasons why she is out there adventuring and exploring the world as a secret. It happens that while she was studying divination magic in Waterdeep she was widely recognized as one of the brightest students to ever visit the academy.

She started working at the library and gained total access to the entirety of knowledge there thanks to her talents and charisma with the professors. Being naturally curious, too bold and ambitious, she started venturing into the most secret knowledge in the library, coming across to books with mystic rituals and spells.

One day she decided to perform a ritual to contact some extra planar creature, and upon succeeding she saw herself in front of an angelic creature of majestic power. The creature immediately understood her ambitions and offered to facilitate her acquisition of magical power. Without a second thought Lissandra agreed.

She failed to notice the spark of malice in the eyes of the creature as it disappeared in flames and left in its place a copy of the contract she agreed to. Curiously, Lissandra picked up the document and started reading it. That was when she realized that the price for her gifts were her soul, to be collected after her death in the Fugue Plains by a representative of the nine hells.

Lissandra uses her Arcana skill in place of her Perception to notice any magical object or knowledge at least 60 feet away from her. If it is a magic scroll or a spell, she has advantage on the check. She also has an advanced familiar, an Imp.

Lissandra main goal is to find some form of magic that might allow her to break her contract before the time comes for her to fulfil her part on it. Maybe even get hold on powerful artifact that might be worth trading for her soul.
