JESTER'S PAMPHLETS

Much like Jester, I impulsively decided to do this. Pardon the mess.

Jester likes making pamphlets. Mostly they are basically proselytizing her god, the Traveler. In LifeAftr, she's made some more after making an off-handed comment that she should.

I'll draw up some actual designs for them at some point, I'm sure. For now, have some textual descriptions.

Since they're all made by hand with paper torn out of her sketchbook, they are very, uh, haphazardly put together. She does not have scissors, but she has determination. She's good at crafts but is working with basically nothing, so the edges are obviously torn, and many have some mistakes scribbled out but not discarded for perfectionism because... she has a limited supply of paper.

She has some colorful inks that she's used to spruce up the pamphlets. Many have an errant cartoon dick drawn on them, but most graphical work is either Traveler fanart or like, basically any late 90s stationary designed for little girls in the U.S. There are lots of scribbly unicorns and rainbows. Move over Lisa Frank.

Since Jester is supremely liable to change her mind halfway through doing something and then start doing something different, the actual contents all vary at least a little. Here's an example of what one might find within:

(Drawing of a vaguely humanoid individual, but they have a tail, with accompanying speech bubble reading:) "Help! I'm on an island and I don't know what happened to me!"

(Drawing of Jester, but with supermodel proportions responds:) "Oh don't worry new person! A rabbit probably told you all about it! That was real! That person's the Storyteller, and they're a god I guess, but there's a WAY BETTER one that is way more fun and probably a billion times more powerful, I don't know I haven't asked him cause that seems rude, but he taught me magic and he can do that for you too!"

(Completely different looking person, a little more detailed, basically a horned cat furry:) "Wow! I want magic powers and since I am so smart I can tell this other guy is way better! Tell me all about him!"

(Drawing of Jester, still on-model with the previous drawing:) "I will tell you... THROUGH SONG"

(The next page is a hastily thrown-together music sheet. The trained eye will be able to tell the person who composed this piece has zero experience actually composing, but enough knowledge about playing music to mostly remember what to include. The melody, however, is just random fucking notes. Completely unperformable and unlistenable. The lyrics read as follows:)

We-ell you want to know about the Traveler,
He's a really great guy!
He was my best friend and now I have more,
All because I followed his guide!

The Traveler has been everywhere,
That's why it's his name!
But the best part of following him,
Is that everything's a game!

Spread chaos and happiness wherever you go,
Free everyone who's trapped,
But everything is part of a balance,
When you steal you give something back!


(The final page is just a portrait of the Traveler, done in monochromatic green ink. He appears to be a humanoid, but not much else is very discernable. He is mostly obscured by a cloak. Jester appears to be quite talented at art when she puts her mind to a more complex piece.)

OOC PERMISSIONS

BACKTAGGING: Completely fine and encouraged. Note that if I ever need to drop a thread for any reason, I will make some sort of announcement on plurk. I prefer to thread to completion when I can, but sometimes irl gets in the way.

FOURTHWALLING: I'd rather not have any mention of Critical Role, but fourthwalling DnD mechanics is fine in moderation. However, if you get my permission beforehand in special cases, that overrides this!

SENSITIVE SUBJECTS: I prefer to avoid heavy description of animal harm. Monsters are okay, and of course Nott's canon grossness or anything like that is fine (I guess it's comedic so I don't get affected as badly), but especially things like cat death or depicted animal abuse are no good for me.


FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: Jester is a leetle blue tiefling. Her eyes are pinkish, she has obviously pointed canines and pointed ears, and her hair is straight and cut in a dark blue bob, a portion pulled back into a little bun. Of course, she also has the classic tiefling spaded tail and her horns are dark, ridged, and curled like a ram's. She's a bit petite, but her build is also a little stocky — she's surprisingly strong.

FASHION: She generally prefers dresses and skirts over pants, and her style is basically "if medieval clothing could be as girly as possible". Her favorite color to wear is pink, and she likes to accent that with her favorite contrasting green cloak if it's cold. However, the cloak ends at around her elbows, so it really only helps her upper half. She's "warmblooded" (or however being an ice-based tiefling works), though, so she doesn't get cold easily.

DEMEANOUR: Jester is really vibrant and energetic and tends to always say what's on her mind immediately, especially if it's a complete non sequitur, and especially especially if it's a dick joke. She's playful and is always ready to pull some form of prank. However, she's also completely accepting of anyone around her, and is highly empathetic. She tends to come off as naive, maybe even childish, but she also has such a blase attitude about the topic of sex that any thought she might be an "innocent" archetype immediately goes out the window.

SOUND: Her voice is basically a bright and bubbly take on a heavy Eastern European accent. A clip of her speaking can be heard here. She's played by Laura Bailey.

SCENT: She's extremely hygenic, a fact she will remind Caleb of at any opportunity. She has a monied background, so she tends to favor nice floral perfumes.

MENTAL INFORMATION: Jester doesn't have any natural resistance to psychic attack or mindreading.

MAGICAL INFORMATION: Jester is powered by divine magic via her deity, The Traveler. He's... real underground, and she has an oddly personal relationship with him compared to other clerics. She has healing abilities as well as favoring illusions and magical trickery. She also has Hellish Rebuke, a tiefling trait that allows her to instantly react to any melee damage by shooting pure ice magic out of her body.


IC PERMISSIONS

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Jester is 100% down to cuddle. She tends to be very tactile and will hug anyone for anything. She's also historically been open with friendly cheek kisses.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Jester is liable to start a fight with a willing friend for no reason, of course she's down for a battle. In a less serious fight, she's not above just punching it out (watch that right hook + Inflict Wounds combo), but she's also a pretty capable fighter in general, from her hand axe to her spells. She's real bad at healing, though. Merle Highchurch move over.

RELATIONSHIPS: I'm down for shipping, with the caveat that 9/10 I'll need to rely on FTB rather than written smut. She is also a complete romantic so she's liable to form sudden crushes and bring up romance and sex in general. She loves smutty romance novels. I'm open to any ships within the Mighty Nein when it comes to canonmates. Jester is my fandom bicycle.

SENSITIVE SUBJECTS: She has an intense fear of being abandoned, due to trauma over her travels. However, I'm willing to explore anything icly. Also, as for her... someone thought it was a good idea to give this girl a tattoo pen so now she's running around tattooing people against their will. I'll ask permission if she wants to do this.


OPT OUT

Campaign 2 of Critical Role is still ongoing. If you'd like to opt out of spoilers in any fashion, or just wish to opt out of tags from Jester in general, feel free to leave a comment here.

Additionally, Jester has Charm Person and a Wand of Smiles. Charm Person will... charm the target, and the Wand of Smiles will force a target to smile uncontrollably for one full minute. I will always ask before using either of these! But if you want to completely opt out of either, you can comment here too.

All comments are screened.
