NOCTALOSIS D&D

I’ve been playing D&D since 2017, participating in various normal and homebrew games. I'm a player in MST and work full-time, preferring games hosted later in the evening.I’ve completed three official campaigns—Curse of Strahd, Candlekeep, and Tyranny of Dragons—and enjoyed Icewind Dale, which I couldn’t finish but very much would like to in the future. I've also played through some of Stryxhaven and completed a few Campaign Intros that used The Lost Mines of Phandelver. Currently, I'm playing Descent into Avernus and a second Curse of Strahd campaign. I’ve also played in five homebrew games, none of which were completed.I enjoy gritty, dark-fantasy themes and having fun with friends! I cannot commit to games longer than 3hrs and need my weekend days free for chores & recoup time as I work full-time at present!

He speaks quickly with an indeterminate accent, likely a blend of his human mother’s and his father’s unknown tiefling origins.His mannerisms vary from crossing his arms defensively to adopting idle stances.

Origin, Tragedy & Murder

Haellebore was born on the outskirts of a small farm village in Faerun. His subtle accent is likely some form of repressed "southern" drawl. He grew up in a humble household; his father worked as a blacksmith until his mysterious disappearance and his mother succumbed to deep depression, ultimately leading to her tragic death, which Haellebore witnessed at age 9.He was told she took her own life and while his memory remains fuzzy on the details he remembers vividly the fear that accompanied her reaching out to take him by the scruff of his shirt and gasp his name. He remembers the tension of her grasp, the color red, the smell, and the walls beating around him as loud as drums. He was almost unable to hear the words between choked gurgling, "Don't Tell Him Your Name."Haellebore was raised by his maternal grandparents on the family farm. They kept him hidden beneath the floorboards of their home, providing him with books that his grandfather, a preschool teacher, brought home from school until his retirement. As a result, Haellebore never attended formal education and remains largely self-taught. He discovered his grandparents passed away one morning after several days of silence and assumed they passed peacefully in their sleep.

One day before the farmer's untimely death, Haellebore discovered a wanted poster among various documents in the farmer's office. The individual depicted closely resembled his father. Additionally, he found other papers suggesting that a search was underway for himself, with implications that he was considered a demon or "devil spawn."A letter of correspondence between the farmer and an unidentified individual from Eltruel led Haellebore to suspect betrayal. Driven by fear, he felt compelled to preemptively betray the farmer, uncertain of the true intentions behind the search but aware that it could threaten his life. He killed him in a flurry of overwhelming panic. To this day he doesn't know if the killing was just but it haunts him the same as his mother.He was on his own officially at freshly turned 15 years of age and entered a life of petty crime to survive, specializing in blackmail until at 26 his journey brought him to the steps of Eltruel. Then at 28 Hell swallowed that too... Haellebore is struggling to cope with reality.
