AAAAAAAA I'm sorry that I'm late to respond to you here! Got somewhat busy withe even more damn paperwork for my soonish appartment, ugh.


The images you embedded are broken unfortunately, they don't show for some reason. The internet gremlins probably ate them. (._. )

But either way, what an eventful life Moldraith indeed had, oh boi! I like that, even if for my taste it feels a bit cluttered with meaningful event after meaningful events, but that does not have to be a bad thing. I do like how there's contrast between monstrous appearance + origin (half-Lefeu!) and an actually kind heart plus helpful nature (fighting Lefeu and being a healer), a classic trope. It also lowkey reminds me on Bernhard in this campaign here, that stoic and self-composed softie.

From what you're describing here, Tormenta 20 sounds like a setting right up my taste, I immediately had to think of Call of Cthulhu (my fave system) when you mentioned that looming edritch horror that is a Tormenta. Might check that system and its rules out then, many thanks for the hint!


Windos is quite busy with pharm college as well as his job and frankly did/does not feel like writing due to it, so expect some delay on your question (same for progress here). Damn you, real life!

No need to apologize! It is understable since life been making us pretty busy.

I already fix that. Imgur might help in bring that image to see once more.

Yeah. I try to resume his story to the most important parts of his backstory because there...quite a lot! MY GM actually make a pre-campaigh session with my char to help hang around with him, so I try to picture the most key moments of his story and put a little of lore dump from the setting itself. There a lot.

Yeah, Moldraith suffer quite a lot. But he ended up as a good person. Thats my favorite type of trope: The character who born a monster, but decided to surpass it's monstrous nature though their own merit. And the Kind heart monster is another trope I simply love. Even a being with monstrous appearance can have a good heart. I am curious with that statement you made however about Bernard and make me even more curious to interact more with him to learn more! In a natural and organic way of course.

Well, Tormenta 20 is a little like more DND or Pathfinder 2e. Since you, most of the time, can fight against the challenges who is present in front of you (with the right level, the help of your friends and equipment) but it does have some sure of, well, horror. The Tormenta is eldritch horror in its finest form. To give you a idea, the Lefeu have a Hive Mind, but the most powerfull Lefeu becomes Lords of the Tormenta, Demi-Gods beings capable of rule and command Legions and Legions of Lefeu. Any area who had become a Tormenta Zone, you can bet there a Lord there. Of maybe the area ITSELF is the Lord.

To give you a idea how dangerous these Lords is: One of those Lords, Aharadak, challenge Tauron, god of Mighty, God of Minotaurs, and the Deity who was at the time, Leader of the Pantheon of Gods. Think Tauron as Zeus. And Aharadak with a scheme well planned, and some help inside the gods, he killed Tauron, and then ascendend as a new god: Aharadak, god of the Tormenta. And the corpse of Tauron still is in the kingdom of the Minotaurs, as a reminder that even the gods themselfs is not safe from the Tormenta and their Aberranthic Demons.

Pretty much a terrifying thinking if you stop for a second: If your god is not safe from such alien invaders, what hope do you have? This is a pretty much fucked up existential horror if you asked me.

And no problem. It is understanble. We currently have busy lifes because of things are now chaotic.
