We liked a character in a game so much we decided to use the name in other games.
The first Dekland was Satyr rogue-fighter.
Dekland always talked in the third person, eg - Dekland likes shinies!
Deklands achievements were as such -
- NPC's would at first not understand who Dekland was talking to, thinking he was referring to someone not there. This happened atleast once per session.
- Starting a fight with frost giants for referring to the giants as 'sissys' for having braided beards.
- Party slayed a Black Dragon. Dekland put its head in the guild ran by the Black Dragon's sister, a Red Dragon (both children of Jormungand, World Serpent)
- Learning to play magical panpipes while skipping around people trying to talk about serious stuff.
- Trying to take the Red Dragons loot, setting off a Meteor swarm trap. Dekland made every roll to avoid damage. Everyone else and the building was totalled.
- Finding a flying cauldron. Which he would play panpipes in while circling people trying to talk about serious stuff.
The odd thing was he was very good in combat, dual wieling and good with traps. He disarmed three seperate Chamber of Blades traps after other people stumbled into them.
The group enjoyed this character so much, we decided to put a Dekland in every game. Each of them is... not all there...
Another former Dekland was baboon familiar of the parties Witch.
- Due to some fantastic rolling, the party gave Dekland a crow bar to bash enemies with, because the party kept getting caned.
- Due to some even worse rolling, the party gave Dekland bandages to stop them bleeding to death.
- A bunch of wild Baboons threatened the party, Dekland stood up and acted fierce to challenge their leader, the party acted like Baboons bowing down to Dekland to reinforce his position. It worked.
Another current Dekland is a bard-singer.
- His priorities are socialising with women, singing, adventuring. In that order.
- Sometimes he spends entire combat rounds just admiring himself.
- He always talks in a suave voice and dresses in formal clothes.
Another current Dekland is a Tengu female, reincarnated from Dwarf male.
- He was found marooned on an island living in a large crab shell, he's been there for years and the local monkeys frequently threw coconuts at him.
- This Dekland does talk in the third person. And refers to Elves as Skinny Dwarves and Gnomes and Little Dwarves.
- This Dekland makes cunnning suggestions like 'let's put the ocean to sleep so it dreams and forgets to make us wet so we can get off this island'
- Later he became a witch, made peace with the monkeys and took one as a familiar. He then spent some exp to make it see invisible and have wings.
