    As DM, I would love it if a player came to me with this as their origin. I’d have so much I could work with in terms of their backstory. Rag to riches to rags to riches story arch. Saving their mindflayer patron from the other mindflayers who rejected it for their kindness. Maybe having it be a double fake, and she is now just an unaware information gathering agent who is dooming the world, innocently. There are so many hooks possible haha.

    I’ve always thought the comic was cute, but they seriously need an editor or translator or something. The English has always been super janky.

      Now don’t be too judgemental. Cthulhu speaks English with a slight accent, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

        He doesn’t usually use his mouthparts to form words, after all.

    I had a similar idea for a wholesome Celestial Warlock recently. Remembering a bit form some stand-up comedian in the 90s; with schizophrenics, why do the voices always tell them to do bad things?

    Character is an low-key Aasimar, but tries to hid it by being all goth. They were mostly ignored by their family, like 90a latch-key kid.

    They try to act all dark and edgy, but they constantly have their bright and chipper Celestial patron whispering in their ear to do positive things. Played like the Bowler and her dad in Mystery Men.

    “You should really help that orphan find their real parents.” “You HAVE to rescue the princess!” “Hey, help that old lady across the street.” “You don’t need all their gold as a reward, you should leave them at least half.” “Hey. Hey! Tell [party’s druid] that she really looks cute in that outfit.”

    Could also work with Divine Soul Sorcerer, with their angelic ancestor whispering in their ear.
