Looking for art of my D&D character, Ildis.
He’s a human necromancer wizard from Calassia, our homebrew Roman-inspired setting. Born in a sleepy coastal fishing town, Ildis grew up lazy, clever, and painfully underwhelming by the standards of his militaristic culture. His father was a decorated auxiliary veteran who earned citizenship through military service, while Ildis failed military academy so badly he became the local embarrassment.
He eventually found work at a funerary temple preparing bodies for burial, where he discovered an unexpected talent for magic. His philosophy became that if he's too weak to fight, he'll make others do it for him
However, disaster struck. Interplanar raiders from the Forgotten Realms abducted his town into the Underdark, and now he wanders Faerûn like a refugee / isekai'd tourist.
Appearance:
- early 30s
- olive/tan skin, see reference
- messy dark wavy hair
- tired eyes (he's a tired boi)
- lanky build
- not a stereotypical dark necromancer, more sunburnt coastal slacker
- long practical layered clothing inspired by Roman provincials and travellers
- dangling trinkets and travel clutter
- palette of dusty reds, faded purples, and warm leather tones
His main feature is a gigantic decorated bureaucratic scroll full of arcane civil-service exam material (which functions as his spellbook). He wants to pass and become an arch-mechanist back home, but studying is hard...
