Hello friends, Ginny Di here!
It's been a few months since my last point of view role-playing video
But I am back with another one
I make these videos to help you develop your original characters
And get a little practice with role-playing
If this is the first POV video you're seeing from me
make sure to check out the playlist in the cards for more
Here's how it works
I portray an original fantasy character interacting with you the viewer
I ask questions
And then I leave space for you to respond from the perspective of your own character
As always, not every video is going to be perfectly suited for every character
But that's why I keep making more
So far you've gotten to interact with Elliwyn the healer
ELLI: You're in good hands, I only lose half my patients
Sorry, joke
-Augury the smuggling boss
AUGURY: Hmm and what are your feelings on torture?
-And Edith the matchmaker
EDITH: Any objection to fangs, horns, wings, or tails?
-Today your character has been thrown into a prison cell
What they did to get them there is up to you
Keep watching for a roleplay encounter with your orcish prison guard Na'Krasha
But first we have to thank World Anvil for sponsoring this series
and making all of these videos possible
These POV projects are big undertakings
And it's because of World Anvil's support that I can keep making more
World Anvil is a tool kit for world building
great for writers and for game masters and role players
It works almost like a wiki with articles that can be indexed and linked to each other
But it also has a ton of other features that are perfect for creating your own world
Like interactive nestable maps, family trees, support for stat blocks and character sheets,
and tools that let you choose what's public,
what's private, and what's accessible only to your players
If you haven't checked out the site lately
you will definitely want to learn about some of their newest features
A party page, where you can store group information, like loot, or current location
A quest tracker, so you never forget where you were going and why
And the ability for players to add memories to articles
So let's say your DM has an article about a city you visited
You can add a private note that this city had a lovely bakery
If you want to see World Anvil in action and learn more about my POV characters
You should check out my World Anvil page, linked in the description
A lot of people have been bringing these characters into their own games as NPC's
And this will be a huge help if you want to do that
Each page includes in-depth information about each character
including stuff that wasn't in their respective videos
Like Elliwyn's tragic backstory
or details about the magic items hidden in Augury's office
Check it all out at the link in the description
And if you want to give World Anvil a try
You can create an account with all of the basic features for free
Or use the code GINNY to get 25% off annual memberships at any level
That link is in the description
Alright, those were your final moments of freedom
Jail time, you criminal!
This is longest shift
They should have blown horn by now
Yes, don't you think?
Maybe he fell asleep
I know it does not matter to you
You are stuck here
But I want to go home
and eat
Maybe I want to be here even less than you
Well, probably not
I am Na'Krasha
Ah yes... shackles
Those do not look very comfortable
What is your name?
I know, you do not want to talk to me, I am keeping you here, I understand
I have idea
I take shackles off
You talk to me, yes?
I am so bored
This is not dream job
Lots of sitting around
And sometimes captive spit at me
Tell me why are you here? Did you make trouble?
There is no shame in making trouble
I like a little trouble
Is this first time behind bars for you, or is this something you have done before?
And how is experience here, you have been here few days, yes?
I know it is prison
It cannot be good experience
How is food?
I wonder if they feed you same thing they feed me, not very good
And does it bother you to sleep on floor? How is your back?
At least you have a little window for air
Cells without window, they smell very bad very bad
What is worst part you think, so far?
Yes, that is not good
How will you get out then?
Would you make escape, or try to prove you are not guilty of crime?
Of course, why would you tell me this?z
I will not tell, no one listens to me anyway
If you do have trial, what will you tell them?
How are you defending yourself?
Do you think you would be good at this?
Do people believe you when you tell them things?
I believe you, I think you are very persuasive
But, I would not be judging you
Really, though?
Do you make crimes sometimes?
I make crimes, I am not ashamed to say it
I do what I must do
Even I once killed someone, but don't worry he deserved it
What is worst crime you have made?
What drives you to make these crimes do you think?
For me, it is rage
I have much anger inside about everything
Sometimes it simply comes out of me
But also, lots of things are against law, so many things
I wonder who makes law, and why
Not every time does "against law" mean "wrong to do," would you agree?
Maybe you'll never get out of here
Maybe you die here, do you think?
It is possible, some die, the sick ones mostly
If you died here, who would miss you?
I would miss you
little bit
You're good talking partner
You are probably in the middle of doing things when you come here, yes?
Important things?
What would- what would not be finished if you died here?
Unfinished business, they call it this, no? if you are ghost?
If you become ghost, who do you haunt?
You cannot haunt me
Even if you die here, I did not kill you, it would not be fair
I am not afraid of many things, but I am afraid of ghost
Weapon would go right through ghost
How do you kill them? They are already dead, I do not like that
It is probably best if you do not die
I could let you out
Should I?
Give me your pitch? Why should I unlock door?
Hmm, you're making good argument actually
Ah, but that is the horn
Time to change shifts
[Yawns]
At least make it look like you are wearing this, yes?
Or I get in trouble
See you tomorrow my friend
Well it almost worked, at least you made a friend, kind of
If you want to learn more about Na'Krasha so you can include her in your own game
Make sure to click the World Anvil link in the description
And check out the little profile I've put together for her
By the way, big thanks to my patron Rick Smathers who came up with Na'Krasha's name
Also I've been loving watching all of you guys respond to these questions as your own characters
I have been keeping a playlist of response videos
And I would encourage you to check some of them out and show them some love in the comments
Original characters are really personal
and while I am so grateful that you guys want to hear about mine now
There were a lot of years where I just wanted to share my creations with people
and nobody cared about them at all
If you watch somebody's video about their character and leave a comment
I pretty much guarantee it'll make their day
That's a power you have
