my friend pondered a highschool au for their ttrpg ocs, and then i went 'hmm. interesting. what if my ocs?' and then, well,

#did this need a chart? no #is it necessary? absolutely not #was it fun? only until i realised draw.io doesnt have opacity :( #strictly speaking not every person listed here is a “character” ive played - some of them are family members #some of them are also from one-shots or non-characterful situations where theyre basically Just Names #eg Dean Mohan was a dragonborn ranger in a oneshot about going in an ice cave and killing a dragon #Ms. Sabine Kjelsdottir was a tiefling life cleric in a progressively-leveled arena in which she got killed by axebeaks at lvl2 #some of the people listed are people who exist canonically for some characters but have made no tangible showing #eg Olivier Duval is Noelle's younger brother. in canon (as Yivien) he has only been mentioned offhand #as opposed to their sister Marie-Louise (Mariela) who is an npc in the campaign. #Zachary (Zimri) comes from a big family. no member of that family has been named or mentioned in the campaign at all #beyond the vaguest idea about what town zimri grew up in and what they used to do. #so including people like Paz Shani Aviel and Eden is sort of a vibes based thing #that they WOULD be here but are only like. pseudo-canonical almost #Henry (Eike) Wiater is Filip (Florian) Dziedic's cousin. and is based on the explicitly pseudo-canonical cousin of Florian #in that they recieved a bit of development behind the scenes just in case as a backup player character and then that was not necessary #and so theyre in a schrodingers pc situation. does eike really exist? great question #Calliope Desmond's ex husband and two kids are based on a note at the bottom of the word doc for that brief campaign #in which i said she had an ex and two kids. they never factored in at all #theres even another named character in that word doc that i havent included bc im not even sure how #and at some point you gotta go 'do you Need 6 extra characters related just to you'
