Critical Role OC Anthology (C2)

An anthology I created over the course of a few years after a deep obsession with The Mighty Nein. Kess, a young man trying to carve out a meaningful existence for himself in Wildemount, experiences the highs and lows every corner of the continent had to offer. Trying to maintain his integrity and sanity in a world of corrupt or misguided governments and other powerful organizations against all odds.

The chapters will start off following a mostly straight timeline but may get messy as I wrote each chapter at various points of my life completely out of order. Coinciding and inevitably following along with the plot of The Mighty Nein, with plenty of dark, romantic, lustful, and difficult moments with a handful of preestablished characters.

Kess is a human, starting in his late teens all the way to his mid to late twenties, his journey of being taken advantage of as he works to become a self established mage. (Battle Smith Artificer with some sprinkles of Dunamantic Wizard) Finding a purpose in his life, learning to have faith and rebuild trust in strangers he find wiggling their way into his life.

This story is for me and me alone, but I have some pride in it and wish to condense all my scattered writings into one coherent book. Any comments, praise, or critiques are welcome but will not have any major effect on my writing.

Disclaimer that I am not an export on the lore Critical Role has built for Exandria, I do my best to stay true to the material but take liberties for the sake of the story I wish to tell. That being said, the only thing I claim ownership of is Kess himself. Everything from the characters to the world itself belongs to those with much better creativity, imagination, and have put more effort into all of Exandria than I ever have. Critical Role has been a major inspiration to me and my writing career, and I would never wish to discredit all they have accomplished and created.

Enjoy the reading. -XtraSass
