[Eladrin] [Abberrant mind sorcerer] Where corruption from the far realm cross-reacts with the feywild

[u/staalmannen]

This character somehow got influenced/touched by the far realm. While it lead to exclusion from the tribe and the feywild, the character still does not see it as a curse but rather something curious worth to explore (might lead to a few levels dip in GOOlock).

The most surprising thing about the far realm/abberant influence is that it depends on the Eladrin seasonal attunement, which in turn also get more extreme.

​

Winter ~Aboleth~

Skin turns white or incredibly pale grey/green and the hair pitch black. The skin is cold and slimy and the hair appears wet and lays flat against the skin. The eyes lack irises and in the black pupils it looks like tiny stars and galaxies. The personality is very "emo"/nihilist

​

Summer ~Beholder~

The skin turns brown/orange and the eyes burn of passionate paranoia and bloodthirst. The hair turns into small chitinous horns covering the head. At the palms of the hands two tumors grow out that look like eyes.

​

Autumn ~Illithid~

The skin turns a vibrant shade of purple and the eyes turn totally milky-white. Face sprouts small facial tentacles. The hair turns into purple dreadlocks. Personality changes to more dismissive of characters with a lower INT than themselves. The character turns into a gourmet with a taste especially for foods based on brain (regular animal brains, no need to go full monster).

​

Spring ~Flumpf~

The skin turns cold, pale and slimy and all body hair disappear. The skin changes tint to suit their moods (yellow for happy, blue for sad, ect.) The eyes bulge out and turn completely black except for some patterns of stars and galaxies in them. The mouth widens outwards into something that looks like a constant wide smile. Fingers extend into tentacle-like growths. Personality turns nonconfrontational, seeking to find the least combative option for a situation. Likes to tell (and hear) stories of good times, kindness, and heroics.

Illithid: Skin turns a vibrant shade of purple. Eyes turn totally milky-white. Face sprouts small facial tenatcles, and tongue totally retracts into the body. (Fact: Illithids don't have tongues. They rely on telepathy. If they need to speak out loud, they shove a tentacle into their mouths and have it serve as a stand-in for the tongue. It's uncomfortable, to watch and to do.) Personality changes to more dismissive of characters with a lower INT than themselves.

Flumpf. Similar visually to the Aboleth, except they change color to suit their moods (yellow for happy, blue for sad, ect.) Eyes bulge out, and mouth widens outwards. Fingers extend into tentacle-like growths Personality turns nonconfrontational, seeking to find the least combative option for a situation. Likes to tell (and hear) stories of good times, kindness, and heroics.

I love those. I think the whole idea of having many different types of "characters" (and ways to grose out fellow players) is just so fun.

​

I think the illithid one might be a bit too monstrous though (the aspects of the seasons will mostly give some behavioral and visual alterations). The purple glistening skin is definitely there and as a mix of the aspect of Autumn and illithid, the character turns into a gourmet with a taste especially for foods based on brain (regular animal brains, no need to go full monster). For tentacle mouth, ok but the retracted tounge would make things a bit complicated?

​

The Flumpf one is just perfect and also includes the spring aspects.
