The Balanced Hive
This tale is unlike those told before. His earliest memories were that of the hive. He was never an individual, it was always the collective. Eventually though, other telepathic beings began to come into contact with the hive. For some unknown reason, the hive took to training human telepaths. They trained drow telepaths, and even occasionally gnomes. Of course for the hive this was only logical, as the collective became more powerful with each addition. One day a strange group of humans came to them. They were telepaths like the rest, but they had strange ideas. They thought about one called Virgil, and they thought about balance, tilting scales. A dying land, all of these things were strange concepts to the hive. The hive didn't care, it thrived. Finally it became time to assimilate them. That is when the change began to occur, for now the hive had these thoughts. What did the thoughts of a few matter to the wealth of the hive? That was another thing, time does not pass the same for the hive as the world goes round. So it is hard to tell when exactly the it happened. One day the hive was no longer there. There was only Voggrat, with thoughts of Virgil and balance. With no understanding of what had occurred his adventure began.


Description:

The figure standing before you is wrapped in a strange cloak. Pale almost white hair frames his too human face. High cheekbones, and narrow chin, seem to imply some sort of elven heritage. His arms are shrouded in the cloak so you cannot see much about his build, but strangely the hem of this robe seems to flare out as if around a tree trunk rather than feet. The last thing you notice is the ground behind him where he was a moment before is strangely wet, as if a puddle was mostly dried up. It is at this point that the illusion breaks, and standing before you for an instant is a many tentacled creature of many horrors. Upon blinking you realize it must have been your imagination, for the monster is gone.

    I really liked the description on Voggrat! With some more flushing out that background could have made for a cool story in and of itself, too. Think I helped you get to 50 on a character or two - sorry to see you go so quickly!

    1. I had some seriously fun plans with this character. I was probably going to end up in trouble with him at some point. Squid keeper, I was still trying to find my place with it. I did intend to make more background entries as the character came together in my head, but he was still halfway in the concept stage.

        Never had any bad interactions with this guy. That said, he didn't stick out like some illithids have in the past (Zitthirax always comes to mind)

        1. That's because I hadn't gotten started yet. Guy was two weeks old? Lol
