This is how you make a good disturbing character and NOT a screaming, murderhoboing edgelord.
@Buddha UwU No, his whole theme is about the dynamic elements of life and how unfair it can be. That there is both suffering AND pleasure. For this character, it's one and the same. He makes it clear that doesn't push it on others, and lets his actions be decided by the dice. Yes, he is a sadomasochist, he makes no allusions about it. He even says it upfront.
What makes him interesting is how personable/charming the character is. He is a worshipper of the Lord of Midnight, suffering is part of the worship, but not the entirety of it. He doesn't just go about spreading it in such a way it comes off as just edglording it. But that he truly believes in what he's doing is righteous and values in it. That's what makes him so interesting.
@Buddha UwU I wouldn't say he's badly written, he is simple yes, but he is a well written simple character, just like the doom slayer. Also to the other comment, yes the edge is there but edginess isn't inherently bad, it is either fun or boring. When it comes to bad and boring edginess the story of the "he just looks at you with his empty doll like eyes" comes to mind, a disruptive player constantly nagging how everything is unfair. But with this character i see a lot of roleplay potential especially since he worships an evil god and would like to convert his party.
My favorite thing about the story is how he weaves things like rolling dice into the story in a way that makes sense. I love it
Yesssss
“The Dark Master, or DM for short.”
I snorted out hot tea 🍵
The "Pathfinder Society."
Are you ok? That doesn’t sound healthy
Tetris_Citadel yah, it hurt, but I recovered. Cold compress and all that Jazz 😁
coffee is better
@@adamka-1 I drink both 😁
This reminds me of a quote from one of my adventurers
"Sorry old friend, but you were never my friend"
I once played as a half-drow who ate the monsters he killed... while they were still alive and screaming.
What was the other Part of his Being/Origin? ;-) Half Drow half Human?
@@diinasus7185 Yeah, half-drow half-human.
Please, do not go into detail
“You ever play a character that is so twisted, it makes you question your own sanity?”
Meanwhile, I’m chatting with someone on Discord about their 4 intelligence evil monk
Me stabs¿?
I’m Just thinking about my serial killer goblin wizard who was a demon worshiper Who turned on the party and ended up in the deaths of half of them
When the animals are upset with you you know somethings up. _something very wrong_
At least he’s not that dwarf character from dorkly that guy is to terrified to talk about. YIRBEL LIVES!
He like only uses that emoji in every comment I see him in like all things dnd... tipe?
This is why you always look over the religions of the world your playing in.
Soooo many grand character concepts found within!
What on earth did my ears just witness? If this guy was in a party with my paladin... there might have been one extra corpse in that cave.
Understandable.
That character is so good!! Oh my god. Such an amazing blend of madness and delight. I never once questioned his intentions or asked "why" he was behaving the way he did, like i do with some lawful good characters. Great story telling as always. Can't wait for part 2
I am very concerned about how messed up this character will become
You will actually like him, maybe
What do you mean he's completely sane I don't understand man 😈😈😈
I am delighted by how deranged he may prove to be
Xaldin is the kind of Guy that everyone wants on his Team when realising his fighting Capability, but everyone wants to get away from the Second his Crazy-Side kicks in. x'D
omg this character is great. total sado-masochist and deranged as hell but all with the idea he's doing a *good service* for them by doing what he does. totally chaotic ^w^
I found nothing chaotic about it. He strictly, and enthusiastically, follows a set of rules. Very enthusiastically.
Excuse me, but he is CLEARLY Lawful Good. He adheres to a strict code and wishes only for the betterment of those around him.
I absolutely love this character as well, though I would have to say he is more Lawful than Chaotic. Since he has a strict code he is following he would be Lawful. Overall I would say Lawful Neutral as it does not seem that he is prone to caring about whether something is right or wrong.
No, Kiddo, I'd like to believe you're aware enough, even now, to know there's nothing sadistic in my actions... No, Kiddo, this moment, this is me at my most... masochistic.
@@biancabrooks280 Best use of that reasoning i've seen yet
What do you think about our faithful friend Xaldin?
PS: He'll be returning in 3 days, watch out for part 2
Edgelord bs you expect from little kids playing for the first time. The worst one I've ever seen from this channel. Seriously, complete garbage.
Xaldin... was hit a few times too often in the head.
And I absolutely love him for it!!! ^^
I absolutely LOVE him. This guy (or gal) really put a lot of thought into this character. I would love to be at a table with this player. I have seen quite a few players like this in my 30 some odd years of playing D&D and they are sooo much fun! They really know how to roleplay and their characters can sometimes make the party really frustrated. I can't wait to see what he does next and also to see how the rest of the party deals with him. This is gonna be one of those epic stories!
To All Things DnD If this was supposed to be a horror story for October as a Halloween special, then you defiantly nailed it for this character & his group of adventurers.
See, most of my characters would have let him get closer to the orc and then slit his throat wide open. That brand of madness is too dangerous to be useful for long. He killed the bugbears. That's enough of a benefit for me to dispose of him and be satisfied, rather than wait to see what the cost would end up being.
There is no other term for the dm other than "Dark Master"
I'm absolutely in love with how this story isn't told through the players perspective, but the character's! It adds so much personality
I’d love to see a campaign with this character and Abserd from Puffin Forest sounds like it’d make a good buddy comedy.
iT iS I aBsErD!
Xaldin will meet the ultimate sufferings and it will be marvelous
What a painfully Abserd idea!
LOVE IT
I could picture him, staring unwaveringly into the half orc's eyes during the entire"Negotiation".
Freaking priceless! I was dying with laughter!
Great story OP, I can't wait to hear of the further adventures of your monk. The Bards will song of his deeds for ages to come!
It’s an amazing bit of role play, I envy the person who was able to balance who they are and who their character is. I have more issues if I play with the more depraved inner self much, so I stick to this quote when playing characters: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
This guy is Soo close to breaking the 4th wall, just lovingly caressing it in his maddening clarity. Can't tell if he is an aspect of the joker or deadpool. Anybody know what class he is? It scrams zelot barbarian to me. Maybe earth genasi?
I thought he was a monk
2015
Boss: "where do you see your self in five years?"
Me: "I don't know, i guess you could say I don't have 20/20 vision."
Interesting, been a while since a multi part story
I know right. Multi-part stories are awesome
All Things DnD agreed
@@allthingsdnd If they're allowed to finish. I can think of two tales, one starting with a chicken toss and the other concerning the exploits of a naive bardic princess, whose weavers have stopped spinning for some unfortunate reason.
Me? Actually getting to a video without an hour going by? More likely than you think.
All the meta references are spectacular.
This gives me many ideas. I like this type of creepy character.
This is actually an awesome character.... I look forward to seeing more of this character
One of the more recent party's I was in had a deranged character
Her name was Vivianna the paladin of love we all thought she was human or aasimar maybe but that would be pushing it
Anyway around level 4 vivianna started to act strangely talking to herself, forgetting things that just happened only to bring them up hours later like it only two seconds ago, her personality swapping from bright sunny cinnamon roll to grimdark goth in pink armor
Then around level 8 blood hunter Maria had enough and called her patron to explain what was going on a light shined on vivianna showing two shadows turns out vivianna wasn't human but a kalishtar
That sounds like a great story. You should write it up and send it in. I bet we'd love to hear it!
What's a kalishtar?
@@devonmcdaniel1176 let me put it like this
If an aasimar has a guardian angel who tells him to do good things and some tieflings have their demon parents tell them to do bad things kalashtar have a dream spirit that can be anything
@@devonmcdaniel1176 It is a race from Eberron to which I found this description from 5th edition UA:
"Kalashtar
I am kalashtar, born of two worlds. Over a thousand years ago, my ancestor bound her bloodline to the spirit Kashtai, and I am a child of that union. Kashtai moves within me. Her memories come to me in dreams, and at times her voice whispers in the silence of my mind. As long as at least one of my sisters is alive, Kashtai will survive-and as long as she lives, she will fight ilLashtavar.
-Lakashtai, servant of the light
The kalashtar are a compound race created from the union of humanity with renegade spirits from the plane of dreams-spirits called the quori. Kalashtar are often seen as wise, spiritual people with great compassion for others. But there is an unmistakable alien quality to the kalashtar, and they are haunted by the conflicts of their otherworldly spirits."
@@craigtucker1290 Thanks. I may look into that race

“And who wants that?”
My friend’s D&D campaign:
*Allow us to introduce ourselves.*
Two gnolls attack us, with killing intent in their eyes. "Ah Yes Lord so and so and blessed me today..." Party: Speechless.
Reminds me of the first character I ever made. He was a Neutral Evil druid whom had a particular superiority complex about elves. During an infiltration he peeled of the face of a dead accomplice and wore it as a bloody face mask "a disguise" you could call it.
Oh man shivers. I love the detail put into this character! Obviously a monk. Never thought I'd see a chaotic maybe evil monk.
With just the first image you can tell this Will be VERY funny
This one will be quite the ride, trust me
I wish people were more cool with RP like this. To many people join DnD as if it's a game but when in the world you need to treat it like it's real life for your character.
Disturbing character i played. Housecat Telepath, lawful evil, mind controlled the party to bring me fish and regularly napped during combat. Eventually i wound up brainwash my way into becoming a pharoh then nommed Cuthulu after failing to prevent the cultists from summoning him.
BRO... WTF?! I'm both disturbed and inspired! Well done!
Reminds me of a Monk I made that was a lot more one-dimensional. He got thrown out of his monastery because he enjoyed violence too much. His name was Ki-lin Fun. Too bad that campaign didn't last.
There's a character in the Chinese novel Outlaws of the Marsh (The Water Margin) who actually has the exact same thing happen to him. He was originally a military general, but was forced to shave his head and become a monk to escape persecution for beating a local butcher to death with three punches. Why did he kill the guy? He was in a tavern drinking with some friends when he heard a woman crying loudly in the next room. He asks her why she's crying, and she explains that the butcher offered to pay for her mother's burial if she became his concubine, but then the butcher's wife drove her out and now the butcher is demanding they pay back the money he never gave them. Anyways, after hiding out in the abbey on Mount Wutai for awhile, he sneaks out to the town and gets drunk. The monks try to lock him out until he's sober, but he smashes through the gates and proceed to beat up the offending monks. The abbot gives him a second chance, but eventually he gets drunk again, gets locked out again, smashes the gate, again, beats a bunch of monks, again, and even destroys a sacred statue. The abbot finally sends him away to another temple, far away in the capital.
I would speculate that Xaldin is a bloody-knuckled rowdy (bloodrager archetype) mostly from the fire fists bit which sounds like the elemental bloodline power.
I love how this is all told from the perspective of the character. Makes it THAT much creepier.
My character began her story with a similar outlook on taking lives. She is a Barbarian (Path of the Zealot) with the Acolyte background, a devotee of Altea, the Silver Angel of Charity, essentially a battle nun. The faith of Altea preaches that Charity is the greatest of all virtue, and Greed the gravest of all sins. If she encountered a person whom she believed to be 'tainted' by greed, she would not hesitate to end their life, for the only absolution for one tainted by greed is to be sent to Altea for forgiveness. Some would say that she was without mercy for the greedy, but it was quite the opposite; she kills the greedy because she wants to save their souls, out of sheer compassion and love for all of Altea's children.
So he’s Darkness from konosuba but not totally useless.
Exactly!
agreed
Plus gender swapped
And likes to hurt others as much as being hurt himself
Hello Darkness my old friend..
My very first DnD character was pretty twisted. He was a life cleric who liked to have his way with goblin corpses. The group I was in didn't take the campaigns too seriously, so backstories were largely an afterthought. I was just a stupid edgy kid back then.
I was just as distraught at the loss of opportunity, but that amazing double think with the masochism. Mwuah. Completely did not expect that
I mean...my darkest character was at a loss...yup; definitely and ONLY my fictional character.
I played an utterly insane warforged from an Eberron campaign that quite disturbed it was after a battle with some bugbears he procced to cut off one of the bugbear's head and carefully removed the skull from the skin and proceed to pull the skin over his head in front of the party horrifying them.
Fantastic story. The edits failed a couple times, but I loved it.
Whoa ....that is DARK. I LOVE it! Might do this with a monk build at some point
I love this character! He reminds me of Tyrian Callows from RWBY. Can't wait to hear more of his insane story.
How delightfully twisted.
I look forward to hearing more.
Oh my god. What an AMAZING STORY god you can spin a tale. I listen to this more than books
chilling story , looking forward to next part
More. I need more! *cackles madly* Good stuff thanks for sharing, look forward to the next one. :)
That character was a preaching cleric, edgy rogue, and crazy barbarian in one.
A God about pain, misery, and torture that’s sound like a DM to me
Most unique LE I've ever even heard of.
Oh man, another wonderful tale. Seriously, Xaladin is right up there with Astoshan and Yirbel! Thank you Allthingsdnd for sharing this darkly beautiful tale.
Has nobody seen Hellraiser? seriously Xaldin would be right at home with the Cenobites.
Still, this is a good story and i'm looking forward to seeing the next part! :)
When I heard "Zon-Kuthon" I reflexively said "Oh FUCK!"
Love Pathfinder stories.
Sometimes you hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, and lose in order to gain, because life’s greatest lessons are taught through pain.
I once had a ghast "monk", monk in the sense that it just used it's teeth and finger claws to rip and break whatever he was fighting.
It used it's horrible stench to sicken it's prey, then give them a stunning "fist"(claw/bite)/ along with ghoul touch.
Anyway, it would take out other undead, or pillage graveyards to eat rotten meat, or if he killed a living creature, he would tare off pieces of them, carry it with him and eat it when it was sufficiently rotten.
Also. Sometimes he would use the limbs/body parts as a bludgeoning weapon, to tenderize it, especially against other undead, to get the flavor of decay on it.
A party of undead, evil clerics, true/pale/dread necromancer's, blackguards, other evil-doers and death worshipers is actually really fun.
I haven't played him yet, but I have a wizard that grew up with health issues and a lack of empathy, he spent years and years trying to fix his health issues unknowingly under the influence of a succubus, resulting to experiments on himself with everything from alchemy to necromancy, often putting his body and mind at risk, often lashing out at his parents and his family servants. He eventually went on to burn down his house under the influence of the succubus, experiments and parents included, and now seeks revenge on the succubus for making him destroy everything he had been working towards, using mentally manipulative magic to further his goals
Awesome! Writing it in the first person was great M8👍
Holy hell that was amazing! It was incredibly well written and being from the perspective of the character itself was incredibly entertaining! Not to mention that is probably the most stable insane person I've ever seen! (If that makes sense.) Love it!
Oh, this character needs to team up with my psychopathic warlock/assassin. He’s such a weapon to be honed and aimed. They’d get along marvelously.
(Currently using said warlock/assassin as an npc, because why not re-use a good character? He’s playing the party like a fiddle.)
I absolutely love the details within this story.
Knowing how I play my character if he was in my party I would use him as an ultimatum in bargaining (with the other players/pcs consent ofcourse.) It would go something like this "surrender or we will let him loose," followed by pointing at the smiling scary pain addict. Then again I'd also make sure that my character couldn't receive his "tender" ministrations too.
Hoping for a part two. Im giddy with uncomfortably and wanting more
Masterful storytelling! I loved how the author incorporated the rules into the story and also how I loved the story but hated the narrator. It was a fun game guessing as to the class of the narrator, but for now I’ve settled on barbarian/monk multi class.
“Suffered the terrible indignity of watching both of his parents die at a young age.” That has got to be the most nonchalant way of describing the archetypal tragic backstory ever.
And for some reason whenever people find out you like pain in real life they assume you are psychologically whacked as bad as this character. kind of sad really.
Ah a man of true refinement. I can appreciate this
This is gonna make lawful evil character start to flod our games hahaha
This is an incredible way of storytelling, and, if you have time to spare, a really cool way to write a backstory. I'm definitely using that style.
Also; Nagito Komaeda much?? With his despair and your character's pain obsession
I had this dragonborn cleric of a deity of Law, Order and Fire who had a policy of not letting things go to waste. He'd be the party chef on adventures, forage the area for useful ingredients and spices and serving everyone unique meals, like Gnoll Stew Surprise, Fried Otyugh in Gelatinous Sauce or BarlBeQue. His religious book also contained several Dragonborn recipes the party could have used in the event of my cleric's untimely demise with explicit request of being eaten should the event occur. The rest of the party wasn't amused.
Is this from the same person who wrote the Onyxia story? 🤔
Yep, Sinlesssoul wrote both Onyxia’s story and this one. He’s credited in the description
...Okay, I wasn't expecting something that sounds like one big euphemism for bdsm here.
Seeing a gnoll getting punched in the face reminds me the one time in BG1 that one time on the gnoll stronghold. when one of my friends a human fighter had his 2 handed weapon broken and started decking every gnoll in the stronghold in the face knocking every one of them unconscious. Funny part is He did not know that happened and me and my friends bestowed him the title gnoll puncher. He became a running gag whenever we confront a gnoll
I once made a necromancer who was a former doctor before a curiosity took hold and drove him mad with a need to "study". I told my DM that an indication of him going manic was him muttering "My, you're interesting" when seeing a new creature
Thanks, I will now use this sadomasocist as inspiration for my next malkavian.
Is it scary that this just sound like characters of people in my d&d group play every time?
Love it, love it, love it! I can see him be friends with one of my characters. Please do the next one soon.
That backstory sounds like the stereotypical angsty PC that most people make in their 1st to 3rd campaign.
this will be lovely to finish up right around all hallows eve. couldn't ask for a better story during this season.
This is such a great character idea. I actually love it
Dude, wtf?! I love this crazy masochist!
i love your videos
Yes please this is a great story.
I love these videos!!! It makes me want to create a character and find a group every-time.
This guy straight up made a dnd cenabite
Yup. Zon-Kuthon's followers and Kyton devils are worth a look. Pathfinder's version of them are very much cenobites.
I can't help it find that this character is wonderfully delightful and actually really well-thought-out
@Buddha UwU I mean that's your opinion but as I said I found the character entertaining as hell.
@Buddha UwU and player vs player battles just don't happen. It can ruin a players experience and it can make them not want to play Dnd at all. Plus, his character was in no way evil, he didnt just kill everything for no reason. Now there is an evil character way worse then this on this channel but I assure you, this character is refreshing from vile evil, and goody big boy scouts
I thought this was about one if my pc's for a second.
Xaldin must be a pugilist that's an interesting class and no ordinary monk
you know enjoying pain is one thing. thinking that others will too is even more messed up. I will be honest this is the kind of stuff that I could not handle in a D&D campaign.
Can't wait for the next part!
I can kind of understand the mindset of such a being, to a point. Without pain, how can you identify what pleasure is? Without pleasure, how can you appreciate the feeling of pain fading away as your body restores itself to the state it was in before?
It has been said many times, "Pain is the best teacher." How does a child learn NOT to put its hand on the hot stove? By doing exactly that and finding out WHY his or her mother or father warned them not to do so. When learning how to fight, pain keeps the memories of how you got into that Ouch! state, and how to avoid it in the future.
Stub your toe enough times on the door frame, and you learn to wear slippers as you walk around the house (since if you're clumsy or absentminded enough to stub your toe more than twice in one hour in the same spot you're probably going to do it again anyway).
Doesn't stop him from being a nut, though.
The character was well-made, and well-acted.
I once played a homebrew sentient marionette and suffered from multiple personality disorder and when my party members tried selling me to an elven king I sold them into to slavery
DUDE wtf? My bad, I mean WOW holy holy woah, like I felt like I was LITERALLY inside his head, aka like is that what Dahmer, or ACTUALLY I know the psychos I'm thinking of... I just woah, like hella woah.
That was way WAY extra. I would be cool with not 'ner another.. EVER. Like WOAH.
still love this channel, just WOW 🙃
How is everyone doing today
this character is amazing, i am playing an evil character right now, and i am still struggling how to do it well
DMPC : Chokes Kuthite
Kuthite : Harder daddy!
not gonna lie I started tuning out when he said "my otherworldly beauty made me an outcast".
5e Half-Orc Warlock. Great Old One patron. Quite mad. Not insane, just mad. Very intelligent skill monkey. Acrobatic stunts combined with repelling eldritch blast made for some hilarious battlefield repositioning...such as run sliding underneath the BBEG and sending him 10' into the air. But falling damage is still damage and a prone BBEG is an easier foe to deal with.
I'm imagining him telling this story at tavern over an ale
