Mine was a shark person male named Susan (he didn’t understand the idea of gendered names but liked how human names sounded)

    This is the most awesome thing I read today. I bet she was tremendous fun to play, kudos to you, but also your party and your DM for making it work.

      Yeah, she was a lot of fun. I forgot to mention one other prominent thing. At first, every time she used her “divine smite” ability she would shout “DIVINE SMITE!” At the top of her air-vacuoles. But at one point in the campaign she decided she needed to be a more independent and distinctive person (long story behind that) and so she started making up a new attack name to shout each time. I had a giant document full of them, crossing each off as I used it so it would be unique. A few examples:

      • Celestial phoenix wing blade storm!
      • Void serpent’s infinite fang strike!
      • Seven star sacred sword dance!
      • Infinite void’s time-shattering dimension slash!
      • Omega Devastation: Existence Unravelled Vacuum Implosion Technique!
      • Divine four-sword eight-edge wheel technique!
      • Eternal night’s soul-devouring shadow strike!
      • Demon lord’s ultimate life-reaping scythe!
      • Heavenly demon’s apocalypse-bringing devil claw!
      • Cataclysmic Supernova Annihilation!
      • Godslayer’s Quintessential Obliteration!
      • Earthquake God’s Heaven-Splitting Strike!

      It was still just a divine smite, of course. A couple of extra d8s of radiant damage.
