​

Some other extras, backstory, and personality traits for a description here, considering the sheet didn't have a lot of space for my backstory.

Backstory: Calcifer was born a traveler, born an adventurer. Ready to seek the world outside of his quaint hometown he traveled far and wide. Experiencing all the wonderful world had to offer. He was but 16 summers when this all began. Ran away from home with a few rusted weapons and the clothes on his back. Bold and ever daring to meet danger face to face if needed, Calcifer used his cunning wit to hurdle through obstacles set before him when his agile body couldn't meet the demands. Calcifer spent a few years traveling around and taking note of many lands before a brush of fate bumped into his tiny form.
A opprotunity to seek more adventure, to find companionship and experience the life as a Sky Pirate. The Gilded Daisy was searching for more recruits, and Calcifer was eager to join.
With the money he had saved from doing odd jobs, Calcifer upgraded his arsenal with equipment better suited for the lifestyle of a Sky Pirate. A short sword, scimitar, and a light crossbow. Calcifer had long since studied magic as a means for fun, and finally had the chance to equip himself with it when joining the Pirate Crew. Our Halfling hero was about 19 when he joined the The Gilded Daisy Crew. It took him many months to climb the ranks, to be trusted and prove his worth to the Captain, Fargus Westwind of his navigational abilities. Within but a year and a half, Calcifer was finally at the helm of the ship, charting courses and ensuring the ships' pathways were as smooth as warm butter on toasted bread. Now having been a navigator for 2 years, Calcifer is confident in his abilities, and in the trust he places on all of his allies on the Gilded Daisy.

Personality: Calcifer is quick-witted, quite an opinionated fellow but holds respect for those who he follows, as well as those following him. Don't let his short stature get the best of you; He knows how to fight, and very well at that. He rarely rejects ideas from his leaders unless he believes there's some flaw or slight mistake in their decision making, which he will raise his concerns to them in order to best figure out how to go about a plan and its specifics. Deathly loyal to those he considers friends and crewmates, he will never sell others out just for a pouch of gold. He may seem grouchy or snappy to his friends, but that is just the way he shows his affection to them. If he doesn't insult you, he probably doesn't like you at all.

Quirk: Calcifer always has a gold piece in his left hand when relaxing or during day-to-day activities. He'll toss and catch it, play tricks with it or run it along his knuckes for fun. This gold piece seems to mean something to him, as he always slips it into a special breast pocket in his leather coat. If asked about it, he'll always say "Its an important trinket of mine."

  "You want to hear my story? No. No you don't. You don't want to hear about about my sob life. About how I used to be to be a naïve rich girl without a care in the world. About how my happy little life came crumbling to the ground when the cult stepped in. How I was forced to watch my parents get slaughtered. About the...things...they did to me. Tried to do to my little sister."
  
  "No. You don't care about that. You just want to know what the freak can do for you. Well let me tell you. With the snap of a finger I can sap the strength from your limbs. With a whispered word I can make fighting the most painful thing you've ever done, or make you think I'm your best friend before knocking you out in an alley. That is if my pet doesn't get to you first. It's all been pretty useful for bounty hunting. But I've gotten to much attention recently from the wrong crowd and it's time Peggy and I moved on. I'm not too sure about being a pirate, but I don't exactly have a choice anymore, and I'm willing to do anything to keep her safe. No matter how filthy I have to get my hands in the process."

• 
  Racial Feat: Poisoner
  
  • When you make a damage roll, you ignore resistance to poison damage.
  • You can coat a weapon in poison as a bonus action, instead of an action.
  • You gain proficiency with the poisoner's kit if you don't already have it. With one hour of work using a poisoner's kit and expending 50 gp worth of materials, you can create a number of doses of potent poison equal to your proficiency bonus. Once applied to a weapon or piece of ammunition, the poison retains its potency for 1 minute or until you hit with the weapon or ammunition. When a creature takes damage from the coated weapon or ammunition, that creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 2d8 poison damage and become poisoned until the end of your next turn.
  
  
  
  Spellcasting: Charisma
  
  Witch's Curse: Loveless
  You are cursed to never find true love. Jaded and disaffected, not even magic can turn your heart; as a result, you are immune to being charmed.
  
  Familiar:
  At 2nd level, you learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual without material components. The spell doesn’t count against your number of spells known. The spell is improved in the following ways:
  
  • Once per turn as an action or a bonus action, you can mentally command your familiar to use its reaction to make one attack.
  • Your familiar uses your spell attack bonus instead of its own attack bonus on attack rolls.
  • Your familiar adds your proficiency bonus to its Armor Class, saving throws, and damage rolls.
  • You add twice your witch level to your familiar’s maximum hit points.
  • When you cast a spell, you can deliver it through your familiar as if it had cast the spell, even if the spell doesn’t have a range of touch.
  • When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms: death snail, flying book, homunculus, mock, moon jelly, pet rock, pseudodragon, rag doll, sprite, tin soldier, winter wolf pup, and yarn golem.
  
  Hexes:
  Beckon Familiar
  You can cast the find familiar spell as an action without expending a spell slot or spell components. Once you cast this spell in this manner, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
  
  Dire Familiar
  As an action, you can bolster your summoned familiar. For 1 minute, your familiar’s current and maximum hit points is increased by twice your witch level and it gains a bonus to its damage rolls equal to your Charisma modifier. You can cast other hexes while this hex is in effect. Once you cast this hex, you can’t cast it again until your familiar is dismissed, or until its duration expires.
  
  Ruin
  As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature’s Armor Class decreases by 3, to a minimum of 10, until the end of your next turn.
  
  Malevolence
  You can use your bonus action to shroud yourself with an evil smog. Until the end of your next turn, you gain the following benefits:
  • Your Armor Class equals 12 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier, as long as you are not holding a shield.
  • When you make an attack with a melee weapon that lacks the Heavy property, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for its attack and damage rolls.
  • If you take damage from a creature you can see within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.
  
  Cackle:
  At 2nd level, you can use your bonus action to cackle. The duration of your hex extends by 1 round for each creature affected within 60 feet of you. Not all witches laugh maniacally when they cackle, but all cackles require a verbal component, as a spell. These range from mundane curses and insults, to the murmuring of dead languages and speaking backwards.

  range. That creature must make a Wisdom saving
  throw or be cursed for the duration. While cursed,
  whenever that creature takes the Attack or Cast a Spell
  action, it takes psychic damage equal to 1d8 + your
  spellcasting modifier. The creature can repeat their
  saving throw at the end of their turn, ending the effect
  on a success.
  
  A remove curse spell ends this curse early.

  spell slot of 2nd-level or higher, you deal an additional
  1d8 psychic damage for each slot level above 1st.

  enchantment
  
  Casting Time: 1 action

  Components: V, M (a snake’s tongue and either a bit of honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil)
  Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours
  
  You suggest a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two) and magically influence a creature you can see within range that can hear and understand you. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect. The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the course of action sound reasonable. Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act ends the spell.
  
  The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it purses the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.
  
  You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration. For example, you might suggest that a knight give her warhorse to the first beggar she meets. If the condition isn’t met before the spell expires, the activity isn’t preformed.
  
  If you or any of your companions damage the target, the spell ends.

Any creature in physical contact with the object takes 2d8 fire damage when you cast the spell. Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to cause this damage again.
  
  If a creature is holding or wearing the object and takes the damage from it, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or drop the object if it can. If it doesn’t drop the object, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn.

[strawberrycelia]

Name: Crow
Race: Changeling
Class: Wild Magic Sorcerer
Gender: Her true form is female, but she can just as easily embody male forms very comfortably.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Appearance: Crow's appearance is often based on whatever striking features stick out to her from strangers. Ever since she was young, she's enjoyed sketching particularly interesting humanoids and shifting into them - even now she often fills mountains of sketchbooks with beautiful faces that flit through her mind. Around the crew, she sometimes feels comfortable enough to change small features of her appearance every so often, such as hair color, lip color, or eyes.
Crow has two basic forms - her true form and her basic human disguise. Her true form has pale skin tinged with purple blushing, and dark-rimmed milky white eyes. It's unmistakably a slightly disturbing visage, yet she enjoys her true form more than many other changelings, often shifting into it when she is alone. In contrast to her unsettling true appearance, her most commonly used disguise is of a pale human with messy bangs and a cute, unassuming face. If the situation requires, she also enjoys taking the form of a male high elf or tiefling.
Personality: Crow is a changeling desperately in love with a world that hates her. All her life she has been in infatuated with the energy of the world around her, and those within it. She's bright and curious, in love with the pirate life for the simple fact that it allows her to see what's beyond the horizon. Within her lies a manic and chaotic power that she can only hope to control and understand, yet this only encourages her to try and sate the wanderlust in her chest. Crow herself has never had a family, but the power within her serves as a faithful companion that provides the only comfort she has ever known - the knowledge that she is connected to something. She doesn't know what she yearns for, but she sails to find out.
Quirk: Crow loves to sketch her crewmates, though she's often very hesitant to let anyone look through her works.
Age: 19
A bit of backstory: Crow is at heart, a very lonely creature. She has never known a family or a home, instead spending much of her life running from those who seek to hurt her for her differences. Her sketchbook and her outbursts are the only givens in her life. At least, they were until she was hired by Fargus. In her darkest hour while being hunted by a strange group seemingly interested in her powers, she was given the opportunity to sail the skies as a pirate. They allow her to work where she's needed, be it using her powers to shroud the ship in fog or to aid the (very capable but sometimes grumpy) navigator. She's eager to protect her little home while it lasts, though like most other moments of connection in her life, it likely won't last.
Other: Sorry this took so long! I had a lot of ideas I wanted to work through with her~
