a digital reference sheet filled with art for an Obey Me MC. She is slim with fair skin, long brown hair tied in a ponytail, and red glasses. She has obvious scarring around her throat and brands with the brother’s demon symbols on her arms. On the left is a full body drawing of her in the RAD school uniform, smirking off to the side. A red speech bubble next to her reads “!!!” There are three labels pointing to her. One points to her brands and says “BRANDS: made from demon pacts,” one points to her throat and says “SCARS: left over from Belphagor’s attack” and the last one points to her shoulder and reads “SPECIAL SKILL: LILITH’S CHAMPION: Once an ordinary, magic-less human, the spirit of dead angel Lilith has become her patron. Lilith grants her intense magical power and the ability to forge pacts with powerful demons, as long as she uses this magic to fulfil Lilith’s wishes.” 
Besides her is a label reading “PROPS” under which is a red shoulder bag, an iPod Shuffle, a melon bun, a carton of strawberry milk, a purse, and a ritualistic looking knife. Below that is a torso shot of her, wearing an orange and white sweatshirt and frowning at her phone in her hand, which has a case resembling a brown tabby cat. A yellow speech bubble reads “...” Underneath are three artworks for songs with a label reading “MUSIC” - “Ghost Rule” by Deco*27 featuring Hatsune Miku, “All Eyes On Me” by OR30, and “Childish War” by Giga-P and Reol, featuring Kagamine Rin and Len. Finally, there is a small box to the side in which is written “SHE/HER”, the asexual flag, and the Scorpio star sign symbol.

this is your official warning I’m the kind of person who gets into anime dating sims sometimes. have an MC

lucy magic hc thing
@selfdestructivecat asked for this :p
again i play so hard and fast with canon but for this one if i like, genuinly got something wrong then plz correct me theres a HIGH chance im getting her power set wrong but the point of this is more me taking like, the base bone of the concept and running with it lol
Just a quick like, how i think lucys magic should work bc im so annoyed shes technically the female lead and literally summons other things to fight FOR her So in my version (the better one) early lucy ONLY has star dresses She can basically give herself the attributes of each spirit, like the star dresses but she also gets a sort of themed weapon, like she gets tarus’ axe, cancers sissors etc. It isnt until lokes arc that shes able to physically summon her spirits Like i feel like summoning a whole spirit takes A LOT of magic so most of the time its more like a warlock patron situation where they lend her spells and if shit get real bad she can spend a high level spell to summon them to fight for her Like idk yea im using dnd terms with this but shhh it makes more sense to me It also makes things like her summoning all her spirits at once a HUGE deal, plus i think its the first time we physically see some of the spirits and also gives a bigger mystery to who they are and how celestial magic works Like i always found it weird how celestial wizards?? Exist?? but each only have 1 key so like?? Theres really only 2 celestial wizards at a time?? Like max there can be 12 but in the show we literally only have lucy and yukino and then like, angel, karen and lucys mom and idk thats kinda dumb Like if its that scarse that theres only 4 active celestial wizards in the WHOLE SHOW  idk thats weird and should be treated as a bigger deal So in my mind, each spirit can gift wizards a key, some of them stick to the lower level spirit key collecting, kinda like in the show, and MAYBE have 1 or 2 zodiac keys Zodiacs r notorious for being v fickle with who they enter contracts with and for the most part even if someone is a celestial wizard they can go their whole lives without ever summoning a zodiac spirit bc its just SO POWERFUL So lucy has low key imposter syndrome be she technically inherited her keys from her mom so she never had to prove herself worthy, which in my mind is y she tries so hard to get stronger and prove her place in fairy tail So based on all this i also think lucy just has a shit ton of magical potential due to growing up with the spirits and having such a strong bond with them and thats what allows her to summon all of them and the zodiac king to plead lokes case Idk i also dont love how the spirts serve lucy as like, a master servant thing So having the spirits be more like patrons feels better to me idk It also makes lucy like, an extremely powerful wizard bc she literally has so many zodiac keys but at first i think she give v jack of all trade master of none energy Her main one i feel would be aquarius bc its a less precise magic form of literally just throwing waves at her opponents BUT it takes a lot of magic bc aquarius is such a high level spirit who refuses to go easy on lucy just bc of her connection to her mom Lucy still has her whip bc idk i think its neat Throughout the series she learns oto be much more flexible and think more outside the box when it comes to her magic and she also grows more reckless, kinda a side effect from being around natsu so much and by the time she gets to the GMG she can probably summon her spirits no problem tho 2 at once is still hard like in the show Oo also also early lucy has problems accepting help from others BECAUSE she feels like shes constantly having to prove shes worthy of just,, existing, so she puts off summoning her spirits at all because of that too I think she works on that a LOT after phantom lord and lokes arc

your patron isn’t give you magic because of a deal you made but rather an implicit understanding that if you didn’t have some kind of leg up you’d never make it to the end of the month without getting yourself hurt somehow

Your patron is a succubus/incubus and all they powers they give you are to be used between the sheets and they get really mad when you use them in the streets

You find the woman who never lies in a tavern, on a night with no moon you ask her for help.
“Of course I will. You are my chosen.” She says with such conviction that you believe her without hesitation. You were always her chosen.
That night you find a vagrant curled up in a ball outside the tavern, all the mead in the world couldn’t numb the pain in his chest. You try to help, whisper words of encouragement.
“It’s ok. You’re strong. You can beat this.”
The vagrant stands on shaky feet, maybe the pain in his chest wasn’t as bad as you thought you place him arm over your shoulder and walk him to safety but on your way home you stumble into a group of ruffians and you get the sense that by helping the vagrant you have taken away their fun for this evening, for a moment things seem tense.
“This isn’t you, go back to your families.”
Two of the three men nod. You aren’t lying, they realise that they are good men and they stumble away to the families that they have always had. But the third man is confused, its not that you are lying but it seems that there’s something that keeping him from accepting the truth, you look him over and see the blood on his knuckles and you hear a child’s voice groan in pain from the alleyway the man emerged from. You have a realisation.
“You should be more careful friend. You’re on fire.”
You’re not lying, you never lie.

Ways your characters can transition between genders within the mechanics of dnd
this is not at all what this blog is usually about but I recently watched Identity: a trans coming out story by philosophy tube and like a true nerd I saw a moving and breath-taking piece of art and immediately attempted to apply it to Dungeons and dragons.
1. The Witches brew
The viscous green liquid within the cauldron bubbled as a wizened hand stirred with a gnarled wooden spoon “Sip once a day, every day for a year” croaked the witch “but never during the full moon”
A potion or blessing provided by the local wise woman/witches coven/hag that will slowly but surely transform the subject. This idea is maybe less steeped in the mechanics of dnd but this idea seems so classically witchy i had to include it plus this would likely be the only method of transition available for the common folks in your average dnd setting, for DM’s a fun level 1 adventure for your hero's could maybe include a character wishes to brew a potion of transitioning but is missing a vital ingredient and the party must set off on a quest to find it or it could be more of a long term thing, maybe one of the PCs is using such a potion and must occasionally either return to the witches hut to stock up or gather the ingredients themselves, lots of possibilities.
I thought that a slower transformation was appropriate since witches are fairly low level in the grand scheme of things however hags are known for making deals so maybe your character has bargained for a faster transition but then the question is what did they offer in exchange?
2. By Divine Favour
You kneel and whisper a prayer as you had done a thousand times before but this time something was different, from the sky, a beam of golden light falls down upon you and you feel power deep within your bones.
The gods are the most powerful creatures in the lore of dnd but with that comes a degree of separation, the gods are not likely to grant your wishes just because you asked so your best bet is to go to a cleric or become one yourself, spell wise however there is little they can do for you unless the dm has a very generous interpretation of the term ‘restoration’ luckily clerics have the divine intervention feat where they roll a d100 and if the number they roll is below their cleric level they can call on their deity for aid with a specific task, this task can be anything from drying out the laundry with some sun beams or alleviating dysphoria with a godly transfiguration. clerics get this ability at level 10 which means that there's a one in ten chance of success from the beginning and they can perform it once per long rest so just hang out with them for a fortnight and wait for luck to turn your way.
3. A Pact From Beyond
You hang in space as if swimming in an ocean and flying through the clouds all at once. You feel a mind older that time and vast enough to swallow a city whole asks you “what is it you desire?”
Here we are at my bread and butter. Eldritch pacts have been made for much less than a definitive change of identity so you could also throw in that your friends and family will only remember you as your new identity or you could just have anyone who ever deadnames you sucked into the nine hells.
There are other option if you don’t want to base your entire pact on transitioning. At second level you gain access to eldritch invocations one of which could be mask of many faces which allows you to cast disguise self at will without using a spell slot, what this means is that you can decide how your character looks 100% of the time. disguise self only lasts an hour but you can just cast it again and again. obviously this is a low level ability so it does have limits, the main draw back is that the spell is only an illusion. you can make your character look a certain way but you can’t change their body, at least until 7th level when you can get the sculptor of flesh invocation that allows you to cast polymorph but sadly you do have to use a spell lot for this invocation so even though you will have a proper transformation it will at most last an hour.
but hey the situation isn't hopeless I’ve heard that unfathomable eldritch beings are very reasonable creatures as long as you are willing to negotiate.
4. Find a wizard
“The ritual lasts an hour and requires you to be completely submerged” Said the kindly old man as he excitedly hopped around his arcane laboratory showing off his research which is complete gibberish to you “the magic of the clay will sustain you but if you are uncomfortable with the sensation of not breathing I have some improvised wooden reeds which you could use to breath through however a foreign body within the ritual may require me to take a little extra time to...” 
You silence him with a wave of your hand “Don't worry about it.” You lie back on the table “Lets begin,” 
Wizards have access to a larger amount of spells that other classes but only a few of those spells are fit for our purposes, Wizards have access to disguise self which we discussed in the previous section as well as alter self which would be perfect for our needs if it wasn't for the hour long time limit, if you can find a way to keep the alter self spell up indefinitely through either a magic item or a round the clock team of spell casters who take turns casting every hour, you would have a better time but even then it is an ongoing magical effect so it can be cancelled either by a dispel magic spell or an antimagic field but fear not dear reader! for wizards have the ultimate trans spell... Widowgast’s Transmogrification.
Now technically this spell isn’t part of official dnd material however the world the spell exists in is an official dnd world so I consider it cannon by proxy. Widowgast’s transmogrification is a spell that permanently transforms a willing humanoids body into another type of humanoid body this means you can change the race and/or gender of the subject. So you essentially get to look exactly how you want to with no magical baggage. There are some drawbacks of course this is a 6th level spell so you need to be at least an 11th level wizard to be able to cast it or you need to find a trustworthy wizard which is a challenge in of itself plus the spell components are costly but in my opinion the pros of the unique spell outweigh the cons.

You were going to be a paladin but you ticked the wrong box on your contract and now you're a celestial warlock who is slightly pissed off by their lack of melee options

The Terrible Tabletop AU (or: Mickey’s Homebrew Hell)
Contrary to what I initially thought, this was actually originally my boyfriend’s fault. He asked what Sora Riku and Kairi’s dnd characters would be like. I added Donald and Goofy and Mickey. @hopeandjoy9 added input and @surskitty offered the idea that everyone except Donald eventually goes paladin, which is my absolute favorite concept.
I have a lot of time to think at work. I did a lot of thinking on various tabletop rpgs and what groups would play them. It’s...a disaster.
I’m gonna start this nightmare piece just talking about their hellish dnd game and how everyone at least starts off playing a fictionalized version of themselves for completely different reasons. Mickey is the DM because the concept was really funny at 10 pm.
So for clarity, this takes place theoretically after kh3 assuming everyone turns out okay in the end. Except Xehanort, though he’s still somehow involved. Mickey, Donald and Goofy went to visit Sora carting a whole bunch of dnd/equivalent books attained from....somewhere....
Riku uses dnd to angst over his past mistakes, honestly. Warlock, great old one patron (it most represents Darkness imo), criminal background. Made a deal with eldritch abomination for power in exchange for doing whatever it wanted, the thing made him its vessel when he realized that was dumb and tried to back out, so it forced him to do pretty shitty things. Sora’s character found a way to get him out of it in their backstories so Riku pretty much uses the whole thing as an excuse to talk about how great Sora is. Emeric says he’s a drow but I feel he plays a human. And I never feel fictional-character-plays-a-human feelings.
The eventual transition to paladin was half general character arc, half Riku getting tired of angsting. The Sora love still goes on.
Sora really just misses the adventuring life and isn’t used to being idle at home! He plays a gnome light domain cleric, because he’s used to saving people and honestly, look me in the eyes and tell me he wouldn’t. (Emeric has decided the character’s name is Gremlin because my knee jerk reaction to gnomes is calling them gremlins.) Folk hero background, because it just felt right for the one keyblade wielder who didn’t “properly” inherit it.
The paladin was a semi-logical progression.
Kairi actually really enjoys combat. That’s it. She tells everyone she’s playing an elf but refuses to say her class or mention anything about her previous life until they hit combat and she rages. Barbarian, soldier backstory, became an adventurer because she was so used to fighting that not doing so is now weird to her. Kinda like Sora I guess?
She enjoyed barbarian but she’s not actually as big on melee-only classes as she expected to be. She likes to help in ways that aren’t ALWAYS Kairi Smash.
Mickey’s Homebrew Hell was a term Riku coined due to the fact that Mickey came to session zero with fully fleshed out Homebrew races for Donald and Goofy. It was genuinely terrifying. (Mickey, if/when he isn’t DMing, opts for a halfling paladin because he doesn’t trust anyone else’s Homebrew. Just trust me on this.)
This turned out to be very helpful because Donald literally stared at the handbook for a solid thirty minutes before Sora suggested he be a wizard. The rest was just whatever the quick build said.
Mickey actually suggested Goofy build a fighter to prevent another Donald Fiasco, but Goofy responded with a long argument as to why paladin (oath of devotion, slightly tweaked to be more of a secular knightly oath) is more fitting for his personal life circumstances than fighter is. Goofy just really likes his job.
