It was close to bedtime when I posted so I did not go in depth or suggest any improvements. I think you came up with double what I would have.

Green Sonja!
I had a D&D4E character called Red Ethel, not a warrior woman but a battle bimbo.
That as an orc.

Seraph of Sharness - because we donât have a Deity guide yet COUGH - so standard warnings apply XD
I did her up as a way to get a feel for the system, mostly. I like the Seraph idea, thoughâŚIâm not sure about the execution.
Combat Medic lets her scurry around a battlefield, apply enough first aid to stabilize people, and punch people out if they get in her way XD. It has some minor crafting (stretchers, crutches, etc), minor surgery, and minor âcarry people so they donât become further hurtâ athletics attached.
Escort is a bit broad, but also has a pair of limits - it only works when sheâs with someone else, and there is some sort of traveling involved. The first half involves things like noting likely sources of danger or ambush, and doing all the prep for going from one place to another - buying supplies, seeing to mounts, looking up inn ratings - and maintaining security while traveling. The second half is very social - she can judge a roomâs Or clientâs mood, make witty or humorous small talk, practice basic etiquette, some small performance stuff, note people of note, seduce, andâŚwellâŚSharness insists, you know? yeah. Bala doesnât do that much, though she is a very good marital aid to couples. Unlike Bodyguard, you arenât getting any evasion out of this one, and the only way sheâs detecting poison is if she eats it herself (which, she will poison taste if a client asks it, and she likes them enough)
and here she is at level 10

As you can see by the cards, Her experience with Hold the Line is going to be front and center by this point, giving both attack and evasion (in the âI know how to deflect damage without falteringâ way), and her Combat Medic is still chipping in to hit as well. Hold the Lineâs limit is it is defensive - it doesnât do her a wit of good if sheâs charged into something. It does provide some benefits to things like knowledge and practices for fortifications, maintaining moral, and some strategy as it relates to defense. Might get you some history on defensive measures on Disadvantage.
Yes, Escort got an upgrade. Sheâs less able to handle lower-end social situations, but she is up on nobility, their interactions and dramas, and her etiquette has improved. And the pay is better.
Will to Surmount activates when things go badly - it letâs her think clearly in crisis, keep going in opposition to being exhausted, mentally or physically, and helps her push herself past the point of harm for her goals. Itâs not the healthiest thing to do, but when everything is falling apart, she will be the rock to hold to in the storm.
Bureaucracy (is aâŚ) gives her a grasp of how to work a system - get the right paperwork to the right place in a manner that someone will actually pay attention to. But itâs more focused on the dirty side of things - how much to bribe, and how to bring the matter up, who can be bribed, where to look for dirt, how to take advantage of office in-fighting, that sort of thing, rather than the legal or accounting sides of the system.
also of note - She switches in Armorer during short rests, to benefit herself and the party with armor repair. Which is going to happen every short rest. so much repair. omg.
âNaked Aggressionâ + âRaw Animal Magnetismâ has me rolling though I am interested in what your background will say to support those experiences.
@the_rippy_one Attitude like âA Tired Office Motherâ which also had me going, exasperated at all times by everything 
Here is my Ribbet Wizard: Timmany!
He is flavored as an Apprentice Frost Mage.

Here is âBellamyâ a Clank Troubadour Bard, who is searching for his creatorâs daughter Inara. Bellamy was sold to a river trader but doesnât know why.
Well, âNaked Aggressionâ is a phrase that acts as a narrative hook.
Green Sonja focuses on relentless competition.
Green Sonja enjoys violent conflict.
Half the kingdom has seen Green Sonja topless.
Definitely going for a lighthearted and humorous character. (different from a joke character)
forced to create a backstory she would be from a tribe of amazon orcs that âkidnapâ men. lighthearted humor! every male volunteered and chose to be taken away, but Green Sonjaâs mother and aunts are too âuncomplicatedâ to realize that.
Instinct +0, Knowledge -1 and she had to leave because her family and friends were too dumb for her to put up with.
Hey!
First-time poster here⌠Forgive me if I mess this up somehow.
I have an unhealthy obsession with creating characters in any system, and often writing way too much lore for ideas that only ever see the character builder! So naturally I went and created 7 already 
My favourite is probably Sasha and Rumble -
https://app.demiplane.com/nexus/daggerheart/character-sheet/7fa10d1c-1e73-49ce-867d-0eb9479bc7b6
Sheâs a teenage halfling who acts like any teenage girl does! Her community was that of wandering halflings, who operated like a sort of fantasy bison caravan, hunting wild creatures and monsters and crafting items to sell in villages they passed by, absorbing lots of different cultures and races.
Sashaâs father was the lead hunter for the group, and she wanted to follow in his footsteps however he didnât feel like she was ready, in a tantrum she went to hunt her first kill, almost getting wiped out herself but landing a lucky fatal blow, only to find a very small Rumble bundled up in some leaves next to a tree. She managed to keep him hidden for quite some time, but eventually, her father found out and said she had to kill him! 
Sasha took rumble and ran away, they have been together since 
If anyone would like to have the story of any of my other 6, let me know!
So I went ahead and made 18 characters - one of each race and each subclass in various combinations - because thatâs the kinda guy I am! How better to test them all out than to make them all, right!?
Now I donât want to drown you all in the backstories and sheets out the gate, but for the sake of interest here is a âshortâ list - let me know what tickles you and Iâll link it with a short background. They all have portraits too!

Rumble is an adorable name for a pork.
I like it, interesting take on the nomadic halfling hunting culture, I like that. Not just sitting around farming, eating and drinking. Itâs a solid backstory and obviously a Ranger (Beastbound) concept. Keen nose is self explanatory - but how do you see yourself employing âweâre going to be best friends?â Any outside the box thinking with that or is it just a âIâm very likableâ kind of trait? Either way I like it.
I wouldnât mind seeing your next favorite

Love the concept - I feel the idea of Clanks getting lost or given up is going to be a common one. Mines similar - though less emotionally invested.
Iâm curious how are you going to spin the relationship with the River Merchant? I assume they didnât want to let you wander off in search of Inara? Youâre experiences are a little long, I couldnât read the entire caption. How would you employ âHeartbroken?â and âRespectfulâ in your mind? Whatâs the angle on those?
The full plethora of characters is absolutely on the same wavelength as myself, and these are all so good!
I am very drawn to Faustus and Brogol and would love to know more about them?
Thanks for sharing and sparking further creative juices!
Hi @ashhobbses!
Thanks for taking a look
Faustus was inspired by a particular song from a band called âAvatarâ - the song is called âTorn Apartâ if you want to take a gander. Essentially I got tired of the seducing, lute playing, conventional bard trope and thought to myself - where is the rebel youth, the passionate artist who is inspired by the greatness around them. To that end I made Faustus, a scrappy young Daemon who takes inspiration from the massive storms that rage across his coastal home. Using a combination of magic and music he made something new, a sort of âlightning musicâ with speed, reverb, and a lot of punch. Naturally most folks are used to that Lute player, so he isnât receiving a positive reception so, instead of being down about it, he just blames them for their lack of vision - you know what I mean
Perhaps his shadowed lineage has something to do with his mysterious and aggressive muse?? Regardless I tried to pick abilities and traits that resonated with the concept of the storm and the sea. I imagine a lot of intense guitar solos and yelling in his future!
Brogol is one of my older concepts - his family were marauders and raiders who assaulted a mountaintop monastery and were rebuffed. His mother fell with him still swaddled in a papoose. The people of the temple took him in and raised him in their values and beliefs, thinking he would be one of them. And it worked for his entire life, until puberty hit and in a blind rage (a hallmark of Orcs) he accidentally, but fatally, wounded his childhood bestfriend in a sparring match. The inner beast revealed, and veiled in shame, he was exiled from the temple with the ultimatum that he can return when he has not only mastered the beast within himself, but also found the strength to forgive himself for what he had done. Since he has travelled the lands doing good, aiding those in need by whatever means he could.
Brogol was an exercise in how to make a Monk in Daggerheart, not easy and there isnât a lot of perks that focus on bare fist and foot. I took the quarterstaff as it made sense, though I may work with whatever GM I have to âcounts asâ dual daggers or something as fists to represent his martial upbringing.
I admit, I donât love the lack of Evasion from the Guardian class, but I do like the unarmored armor. Could represent it more like deflecting attacks than actively dodging them. Especially with the Orc racial and some of the guardian abilities mitigating losing armor when struck. Itâs all in the narrative
Thanks for having a gander!
Feedback welcome

Thanks for sharing more details! These are both such interesting and unique characters with a real flavour and some great depth and progression. I somehow feel like I relate to them both 
I especially love the punk rock bard idea. It has so much room for a fun and memorable character, but also, growth.
I can see you have a flair for creating characters in just this short preview. Which one is your favourite so far from your list?
Rumble is my absolute favourite animal companion I have probably ever created!
For every warrior princess with a white tiger, there is a fun loving halfling with a giant boar! I just love this idea and I think with this game, I am finding myself creating things I wouldnât have attempted in some other TTRPGâs. That much I love about the system so far 
itâs certainly refreshing 
As for my next favourite character. Meet M-CEE!
I saw the wordsmith and instantly had this character pop into my mind. A playful âJokeyâ character on the surface, but every party needs some comic relief! They are basically all those classic 80s and early 90s rapper tropes wrapped in golden robot armour with the skill around rhyming, I can just see myself trying to come up with these terrible raps, and it actually having a real effect rather then flavour! Theyâre story is less tragic or in depth as others, essentially they were created by a famous bard (two lutes) as an idea to have a clank hypeman. Soon they realised they were too good at rhyming and got worried they may steal their own fans, so left them behind when setting sail from the âeast coastâ. M-CEE, confused, began refining his craft and perfecting his flow. Putting on shows and slowly building a small fan base. Ready for the next steps in his career as a word smith, he decided to step away from the coast and go on a âworld tourâ. Maybe he will get signed to a guild?!

Thank you,
Oh man, thatâs tough. It really depends on what my mood is and what Iâm after. Theyâre all tailor made for me so it makes it extra hard. Also, I am usually the GM in my group so I donât get to play much - so these characters either start as NPCâs or just get tweaked and fine tuned year after year waiting for their debut.
Most of these concepts have stretched back a long time and have been refined and tweaked over that same period of time. I canât really pick one.
Morbo was a NPC in a game I ran where the PCâs would consistently find his keep sakes in a dungeon, journal entries, random nick nacks, and even magic items on his quest to find his wife. That campaign never ended but he was meant to become a Lich and a final enemy - kind of a tragic hero who did everything to find and save his wife. He has a special place in my heart.
But theyâre all important to me - and this system was an excellent opportunity to flesh them out and make them new. I definitely feel the system is more fluid narratively and has a lot of potential by rewarding you for playing your character as they should be with the experience mechanic.
I think itâs a tight race between Brogol, Quillion, Morbo, Kraskâoro, Kayden, and Skarsnoo.
The rest are newer or heavily modified from their original idea into this new iteration.

My preferred companion is a Badger named Bruce - made a Dwarf campaign some years back and one of the pregenned players had a Bruce, now all my Dwarf rangers have one 
M-CEE is hilarious, get some Stupendium verbage going and Iâm game lol. Is that Blitzcrank from LoL?
How do you imagine The G.O.A.T to play into the game? And Flashy for that matter?
My joke character is probably Varook - I dub him Aggressively Amiable. He is a hermit that is insane and uncomfortably friendly. No concept of personal space at all. Just a fun little insane faun from the woods

I have not plugged it into Daggerheart yet but the beast companion idea I like most is from a tiny side joke in one of DCâs weird offshoots canât remember if it was Tangent or Just imagine Stan Lee and _____ create-. When real superheroes show up a sleazy comic publisher tries to cash in and there is a one-page joke of their other titles, and they are all lame jokes pointing at Batman and Superman. âThe Crusading Capeâ, âThe Superstitious Lotâ the one that sounded good was âCircus adventures with Ben Steel and his Bear Hansâ a Circus strongman and animal trainer.

I like that, I also had an idea of a young farmer whose family farmstead gets attacked but he manages to escape with only himself and his families prized bull (whom he rides). Character is unhomed and has nowhere to go so he travels with his bull trying to find himself
