Description
I played my first campaign this year at Katsucon as a dealers room staff member "once a year" campaign as one of our teammates wanted to beta test their dungeon modules and get some DMing experience, and I was one of three relatively inexperienced players joining: When he asked if anyone wanted to join the campaign I immediately jumped on the chance, having wanted to play for decades and never having an opportunity before: No local leagues, no one I knew had a campaign with room for a newbie, or I'd run into a group, ask if I could join as they were just beginning and didn't have a full party, and got shot down due to the moronic claim "Girls don't play D&D" by the entire group.

Having been trying to get an opportunity to play since the very start of third edition as a teenager, I'd known what I wanted to try out first as a Class: my love and research of primitive technologies, learning herblore and always having loved the idea of shapeshifting, I always wanted to play a druid. And Tieflings just seemed like a fun potential race for a hermit druid, since being ostracized by society could lead to one living in the woods, being an impish trickster and protecting the forest.

Which was what Smirk was SUPPOSED to be, a mischievous little sardonic pain in the butt for the party that I wouldn't care if he died because I fully expected to mess up royally at some point as a new player and get myself killed doing something stupid.

Instead, a few hours of RP and dice rolls in and I ended up with the most innocent, gullible and fresh off the turnip truck nerd who was desperate for love and attention with no idea that Tieflings even had issues in society. Thankfully for him, the setting was a bit of a new frontier/wild west, so Tieflings actually were fairly common as regular members of society, so he's still the gullible, fresh off the turnip truck dork he turned out to be once the dice started rolling. May change in the future or in other settings if I get to play him elsewhere, and I would protect him with my life.

Given Name: Awinita Meegwin
Chosen name: Smirk
Biosex: Intersex (comes off as a bit androgynous)
Gender: "gender is what others perceive you as.. Right?" (Doesn't quite understand the concept of gender)
Pronouns: No preferred pronouns, so usually whatever people call them. (I tend to use He/him since he was originally planned as male, but the rp eventually lead to Smirk not getting gender and not correcting anyone since what's to correct?)
Orientation: Pansexual
Alignment: Neutral Good.
Class: Circle of the Forest Druid (Circle of Dreams in some other settings)

(And yes, first thing I post here in a long freaking time is a freaking D&D character picture. I'm proud of the boots for his hooves. :3c No Stealth Disadvantage on stone for him!)
