Story

The Entropy

Whimsy remembers nothing of their past. All they know is they saw a flash of brightly colored shapes and then awakened to find themself in an unfamiliar cave, in an unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar life. They would later find out this was in the Underdark, but their first priority was to get out of there, as they had no darkvision to speak of.

Once on the surface, they still had no more clarity than they started with. They had no choice but to live a nomadic life, desperate for any familiarity. They found none. Eventually they settled down in a tiny hamlet and found themself a position as an artisan's assistant to make money to live. This is where they finally adopted the name Whimsy as well, after hearing their mentor use the word in a sentence. They still didn't feel they had found the right place to settle down, though, so when the wandering circus came to town they jumped at the chance to join.

Circus Lunaria

Before Whimsy was accepted into the troupe, they had another brief apprenticeship with its costumer. They were well-liked with the performers, as they had a contagious energy and willingness to do any number of odd jobs around the caravans. Their personal favourites were ropewalking, acrobatics and juggling, but they found success in the psychic's tent as well, pretending to read cards and peer into the crystal ball. When the circus stopped at more affluent cities, they found great entertainment in fleecing nobles by manning the popcorn booth and upping the price's currency from copper to gold pieces. They even found love in the troupe: they dated a goliath sword-swallower called Hollowjaw.

The constant traveling gave them more opportunities to research their possible past, as well, as its mystery still gnawed at their mind after years of wandering. They didn't even know what they were, after all, and introducing themselves as a "weird goblin" or "green elf-halfling" was getting old. Meeting various people and going into various locales led them to surface-level knowledge of the entity known as That-Which-Endures, and they felt an instant connection. They became its warlock, although they wouldn't gain experience with the class just yet.

Adventuring

As much fun as Whimsy had with the circus, they decided to stay behind after a performance near an adventurer's guild's headquarters. They had hit a dead end with their investigation, and they figured dungeon delving could bring more answers. And it did - on one such mission, they came across a corpse of someone who looked strikingly like them, and with the corpse was an old tome of T-W-E. This was a life-changing find, but also shook Whimsy to their core - they weren't alone with their strange experience, but who knew if they would ever meet someone like them who was alive. Just a few months into their adventurer career, they had to take a break to recuperate and digest the newly-found information. Now they're more invigorated to keep searching than ever.

PLAYLIST

"Followed me into a dream / And twirled me out of time / Down a trail of twisted tales / That mythamized my mind / All my memories they ring a bell / But taper with each toll / Mirror Mirror, who am I now? / I don't know"

"I work alone saving my soul / If yesterday hurts, tomorrow is worse / Send me a sign for my body's aligned / I'm ready to waste all my limbs and my face / My pores are wide open and bleed for your potion / Spellwork and lies"

"There is no life I know / To compare with pure imagination / Living there you'll be free / If you truly wish to be / If you want to view paradise / Simply look around and view it / Anything you want to, do it / Want to change the world? / There's nothing to it"

"The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town / Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me / I hear their mouths making foreign sounds/ Sometimes I think they're all just speaking tongues / They're all just speaking tongues / They're all just speaking tongues"

"And when they try to hold me down / Inside a box, I'll find my way out / I'm keeping it in motion, hmm-hmm / When life brings me trouble, this I know / I never walk away, na-na / Walk away, na-na / We are technicolour, watch us go"

"All you ever do is mourn and complain / About my life, using words like disgrace and shame / Taking my ideas and dreams as personal insults / Wanting me to be like you / But, I will sing on"

"I say, I really really wanna / You think, I'm really really gonna / I'm an illusionist, throwing cards and doing tricks / The way is better where I'm going / Where the green grass growing / Call it imaginative, I say it's the greatest gift"

"Memories, black and white, hide behind the glass / In the mirrors and the smoke, it's all fading fast / Written word, turn the card winter into spring / Dancing through the witchwood we began to sing"
