Click Here to see the google doc with all 31 characters. 

Who are these characters? These are all my original characters ("blorbos"), some of which have been used as NPCs or PCs in group ttrpg games, all systems belong to their respective creators, and links to each game page is included in the linked google doc. All of these characters are queer or trans in some way.  These characters in no way represent all queer or trans people, but do reflect some of my own feelings and experiences, and interactions with those I love. 

Are these characters elsewhere? While there is a minuscule chance you have seen these in a game I ran or played with you, there's an even tinier chance you've spotted a handful of eerily similar characters on AO3. If you did, yep, that's me. Well spotted. However, I have never made these characters in these versions in these systems before. At least twenty of these are totally brand new characters as well.

What images are used? While I was inspired by a variety of imagery and media, the only art included here are snippets of the games' images themselves (to show the cover page, character sheet, a glimpse at the game structure or  important mechanic), photos I took of the tarot cards used to create a character for a tarot-based system, my own art, or wikimedia art. I may in the future edit in some more image references that are permitted for use or my own art, but in the meantime, text descriptions have been used instead. 

I hope you enjoy browsing these, and if you have questions on any of the systems used, let me know!  I may not know the answer, but maybe I can point you in the direction of more resources or more knowledgeable people.
