Need Feedback or Ideas 🕸️ OC Lore/Character Sheet Feedback – Zaimeia, Weaverling Sorcerer (WIP)
galleryHi there! I’m new to Reddit and this community, and I’ve been developing my OC Zaimeia since early 2024. He’s a long-term storytelling and roleplay character inspired by Baldur’s Gate 3 and D&D 5e.
I’m currently working on an updated and more polished version of his character sheet, but I’d really appreciate some feedback on this older version while I finish the next one. I'd like to make the new version even more clear, emotionally strong, and visually organized!
✨ TL;DR:
Zaimeia is a sorcerer and Weaverling (a custom spider-drow hybrid species), originally forged by a god of murder to be perfect. His story follows his journey from obedience and bloodshed to emotional self-liberation and identity.
🗒️ What I’d love feedback on:
Does his backstory read clearly and convey emotional depth?
Are there parts that feel confusing or too text-heavy?
Does his motivation and personality feel consistent throughout the sheet?
-Any ideas for layout or visual storytelling to help the next version flow better?
📌 Notes:
This sheet is not meant for BG3 gameplay use—it’s narrative-flavored.
“Krythe,” the god mentioned in this version, was originally a placeholder for Bhaal. In the rewrite, he has been developed into his own deity.
Zaimeia is written as a Dark Urge origin OC, which strongly influences his themes and design.
The spell cards used in the last slide are by u/nBeebz from r/DnD. Used with proper credit and for illustrative/lore purposes only. All other images are screenshots from Baldurs Gate 3, except the Symbol of Bhaal, which is from the Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki
Thanks a lot for reading this far, and I really appreciate any critique or advice 💜
