Whom does your character swipe right?Part of a character’s personality is based on the company she or he prefers to keep. Imagine an app—we’ll call it Ventur—designed to help adventurers find one another to form parties.
Whom does your character swipe right?
Vaelin, 349, Elf Ranger
The two things you need to know about me are first, I love nature, and second, I hate goblins. I’m looking for a party that doesn’t mind getting its hands dirty. I’m so tired of parties where the characters say they love nature but have no idea how to subsist on dewdrops. Also, if you don’t want to burn a goblin camp to the ground on sight, do us both a favor and swipe left.
Glorg, 32, Half-Orc Barbarian
GLORG AM SENSITIVE SOUL. AM LOOKING 4 FELLOWSHIP MORE THAN PARTY BALANCE. NOT MIND BEING ONLY TANK AS LONG AS PEOPLE AM TANKING 4 AM GOOD FRIENDS. GLORG HEART BEEN BROKEN BEFORE BUT GLORG WILLING 2 TRY AGAIN.
Truwny, 22, Gnome Bard
What up, witches? If you want to party with me you have to dance—no exceptions!!! I might seem picky, but I’m actually very open-minded. I may have grown up in the country, but I live for the city. I do lutes, flutes, drums, violins, trumpets, but never trombones. (Don’t ask, lol.)
Jackie, 63, Human Monk
I’m not looking for trouble. It seems like every party I’m with gets wrapped up in life-or-death battles dragging me with them. I just want to relax and see the world. I’m a huge fan of ceramic art, and I carry many vases, bowls, and plates with me everywhere. I spend a lot of time keeping up with the martial arts training I received from my monastery, but I also like to unwind. Sometimes mixing drinking and training makes everything better. Seriously though, I don’t want any trouble.
All you need to know: deadlift 650, bench 300, squat 425. No one under six feet.
Seedora, 52, Half-Elf Druid
Must love wolves. Not a joke. Not an exaggeration. Swipe left if you don’t love wolves. I live with a super pack of forty-six wolves, and it takes up most of my time. I want to be clear that in any party, I am alpha. Just like I am in all areas of my life. Yes, I know that the alpha model of social dynamics for wolves is dodgy science; I live with forty-six wolves. Anyway, if you love hunting, wrestling, and manually expelling anal glands for forty-six wolves, I am the druid for you.
Hakham, 12, Tiefling Sorcerer
You didn’t read that wrong. I’m twelve. Full disclosure: my village was destroyed by the dark one. I was saved at the last minute by my strange new powers. I’m adventuring to learn more about my strange past, master my powers, and avenge my lost loved ones while I come of age. My ideal party is an eclectic group of surrogate family members who insist that they work alone while welcoming me into their lives.
Solgila, 56, Dwarf Cleric
I am a proud worshipper of the Eternal Forge. That means no beards shorter than a fist, no unshod horses, and no sunlight on Fridays. They are simple rules, but some people have trouble following them. Yes, I can heal, but you have to be righteous in the wisdom of the Forge. I consider myself a bit of a beer snob; I usually bring my own ale on quests.
I’ve had bad luck with adventuring parties, but I’m trying again. I want a party with intellectual curiosity. I need to work with people who understand that you need to spend as much time studying ancient runes for meaning as you do searching for secret doors and treasure. I travel with a lot of books; I’m looking for a party that can help me carry them.
Wiris, 19, Halfling Rogue
I gotta find a party that understands boundaries. If something goes missing in the camp, maybe don’t immediately go looking through my stuff? This should not be hard to do. Everyone wants a swift blade in the dark and a careful ear at the fire, but no one wants to trust a halfling around their packs. Message me if you are willing to trust.
Buwanax, 82, Human Paladin
My name is Buwanax, nice to meet you! I want to find people who are looking to make a difference in the community. If serving soup to the needy is as exciting to you as slaying dragons, then you are the person I’m looking for. I’m outgoing and love to socialize, as long as we all have time for a group prayer at the end of the night.
Tim, 25, Human Warlock
Yes. I made a pact with a dark god for untold power. I was young. I was dumb. I get it. There is more to me than that. I’m looking for a party that will accept me for who I am and not waste everyone’s time by trying to convert me or separate me from my dark master. I want to be around people who aren’t afraid of the grisly fates suffered by those who used to travel with me. I’m pretty sure that was just a very specific series of coincidences. Pure of heart only.
