"They say solitaire is a game for the death obsessed, there's an inevitability to every hand, most of them are doomed from the start no matter what you do."
Funny thing is in my Friday game, I play a tiefling sorcerer.You are MOLLYMAUK TEALEAF
A tiefling blood hunter who joined at the beginning of the adventures of the party of heroes that would come to be known as the Mighty Nein, Molly - as he is referred to affectionately - is a person of mystery in part because his past is unknown to him. He awoke one day in the company of a traveling carnival only capable of saying one word: "empty." And from the feeling of being "empty" he became M. T. - Mollymauk Tealeaf. In the company of his fellow circusfolk, Molly grew into a flamboyant person with few cares and even fewer filters. He often stood out more than most with his bright purple skin, red eyes, a mess of tattoos all over his body, and an unapologetically flamboyant fashion sense. Openly genderfluid (though favoring he/him pronouns) and bisexual, anyone was fair game to Molly's flirtations. A lover of life bordering on downright hedonistic, Molly did his best to ensure everyone he met knew that it was okay to just let loose... or make people feel wholly uncomfortable in the process. After all, what is the point of life if you're not going to live it to the fullest?
When the oni-giant Lorenzo and his crew known as the Iron Shepherds kidnapped several members of the party to sell into slavery, Molly joined the remaining party in launching a retaliatory attack against the slavers. Sadly, Molly would be killed by Lorenzo in the battle with their only cleric missing and too weak to return him to life. However, it would not be the last time the party would see this memorable purple tiefling, although he would be a very different person at that time - his original self, a mercenary known as Lucien the Nonagon and the new main antagonist of the series. Lucien's eventual death (and a prayer from the cleric Caduceus) would lead to this soul being reborn a third time, awakening in his "empty" state. Although he would not retain any specific memories from either Mollymauk or Lucien, he said he dreamt that he felt like a king, leading him to christen himself as Kingsley Tealeaf, considering himself a "brother" to Molly. Kingsley would not remain in the company of the Mighty Nein for long, leaving with a journal written by the monk Beauregard that recounted the adventures the team had with his former self, memories that Kingsley would later read about as he sailed the high-seas as pirate captain of a stolen ship... a ship he would rename "The Mollymauk."
Behind The Scenes
Mollymauk was created and played by Taliesin Jaffe until character death, appearing in only 27 of 141 episodes as this persona. When reborn much later as his original self, Lucien, control of the character was taken over by Dungeon Master Matt Mercer for 18 episodes. Taliesin resumed control of the character when he was reborn after Lucien's death at the hands of the Mighty Nein. His rebirth as Kingsley has caused much debate amongst fans, as well as backlash from those who wanted the "real" Mollymauk back. However Taliesin has stood by his direction for the character and has said he looks forward to exploring him more.
"Hello, my name is Grog Strongjaw. We have not had the ability to meet. I appreciate the meat that is coming out of your dome. However, since we have not had the pleasure of acquainting, I hope that you will consider coming back to life so that I may thank you properly for protecting my friends. That being said... Get your fucking ass up because no one dies around Vox Machina, we've had too many deaths already and I swear I will beat you all over this room until you die a second time!"
I’ll take one shot please
(who am I kidding, I need like four)
"I know you're in there, Molly. We love you so much and we want you back. Lucien doesn't deserve you."
No, but I am slowing down because I don't know who people are and then I fell asleep and got lazy but I'll catch up.am i late?
Vasy donc mon pit!
"I've spent my whole life gettin' fucked over. If you don't start fuckin' people over you're not going to survive, buddy."
"It's so strange. Classically, mortal life is so... brief and dull and spoken of from the perspective of my folk for ages as... toys. Why are you so different? It makes no sense, really. It's frustrating. I just wanted to say I'm sorry I couldn't be the god you wanted me to be."
You are JESTER LAVORRE
Born Genevieve Lavorre, the blue tiefling cleric was nothing if not... energetic. Her mother Marion was a busy woman as a world-renown courtesan and songstress, leaving Jester to her own devices at times where she taught herself to paint, draw, and even sculpt a little. An imaginary friend that called himself a god known as The Traveler that often talked her into pulling pranks made things a little difficult, one day leading to her pulling the wrong kind of prank on the wrong kind of person and finding herself banished from her home in the port town of Nicodranas. Marion kept her daughter in secret, but Jester grew bored of life and sought out to go on an adventure like the ones she had always read about - to find excitement, treasure, and love. And sure enough, she would find all of the above in spades... especially as it turned out that her so-called imaginary friend was not so imaginary but actually a rogue archfey named Artagan who had taken a liking to her and granted her the spellcasting powers of a cleric through his own magical energy. Jester would use these abilities to punish vile evildoers, fight dangerous monsters, and pull hilarious pranks on people... and once in a while heal her allies in the group of heroes that would be known as the Mighty Nein.
Although her sense of right and wrong might be slightly skewed, as a cleric from the Trickery domain and a natural prankster, she knows all too well from childhood stories what makes a hero and what makes a villain. Her idealist nature, however, also makes her believe that many people can be saved - a belief that helps pull her and the rest of the party through a darkness when they are betrayed by their brainwashed barbarian ally Yasha and when long-dead friend Mollymauk is revived as the villain Lucien. Through their many adventures together, she has built a reputation amongst her friends for using her artistic skills to leave behind small statues or drawings of penises in places they most assuredly should not be, everywhere from on the table of an inn to a statue of a god in a holy church, all in the belief that it is a nice surprise for someone some day. Her light-hearted gestures, artistic mind, and constant optimism has melted icy hearts, soothed old wounds, and even helped some people find love. Jester's endless concept of idealistic romance even led her not only finding the father she never knew, the water genasi and crime boss known as The Gentleman, and building a relationship with him but also reigniting the romance between him and her mother. When the Mighty Nein found themselves at the end of their journey, Jester would leave with her long-time crush Fjord, the half-orc warlock-paladin and a former sailor who felt the call of the open sea once more. Though, as suggested by Fjord, they would also buy a small home in Nicodranas, making it their port to return to so Jester could visit her mother (and her father, as he would eventually fake his death to be with Marion thanks to Jester reuniting them) whenever she wanted.
Behind The Scenes
Jester Lavorre was created and played by Laura Bailey. Throughout the entirety of the campaign, it is noted that Jester is hilariously stingy with her healing spells and often takes the opportunity to attack enemies instead of healing allies, often having to be meta-reminded of someone might be dying. This is because when Laura first created the character, she wanted to be an offensive spellcaster but she found out that the party already had a wizard and a warlock. So she, begrudgingly, took on the role of a healer. Laura notes that Jester was also partly meta-gamed, admitting that from the beginning she intended to attempt to romance the character of her husband, Travis Willingham, no matter the cost. This is because Travis has said that he would never engage in any romantic roleplay as he thinks it's silly. Ironically it was Travis' character Fjord, after one hundred episodes, that ended up making the first real move, leading to a round of applause and cheers from friends (and much embarrassment on Travis' part) for finally overcoming the challenge.
