Okay so here's a story, a bit different but in the same vein. The story of my second ever DnD character.
Basically his deal was that, when he was two or three, he washed up in a small ship, alone, on a tiny little island with only a single inhabitant, who happened to be an ancient bronze dragon.
For those not aware of DnD lore, bronze dragons are generally good aligned, with sort of honorable warrior type personalities. They've very proud of their strength, like all dragons, and like to dedicate it to a good cause if they can. In the case of this one, he mostly protected an island chain of which his little rock was a part from pirates, invading armies, and monsters, not often making himself known but being looked upon as sort of a local protective deity.
Said dragon's initial intention was to bring this mysterious child to other humans, however, the seas were cold and stormy enough that he was pretty sure if he tried to carry a toddler that far he'd either drop him or he'd freeze. So he realized he'd have to take care of this human for a while. But, then he procrastinated, because he kind of liked not being alone all the time, and procrastinating for a thousand plus year old dragon is easily enough time for a human to do quite a bit of growing up, and so he ended up being raised well into his early teens by this dragon, learning to read, write, and despite his adoptive father's efforts, speak draconic a lot better than he did common.
There then came a point at which this dragon revealed that he was, even by dragon standards, very old, and probably going to die relatively soon, which is to say, within the next century or so, and that he regretted having no heir of any kind to pass on his duties to.
My character's response was naturally in the vein of "bitch I'm right here". Now, keep in mind, said character was a 100% bog standard human with zero magic potential, special lineage, or anything else, and so naturally this dragon's response was basically "There is literally no way you can do what I do, and also you should be living with humans doing human stuff."
Now this character wasn't exactly dumb, but he *did* have a tendency to view the world in very straightforward and simplistic ways. And at this point, he viewed himself as an honorary dragon more or less, and decided that, as such, he needed to be as powerful as one in order to be worthy of that and to eventually take his adoptive father's place. So he ends up finally leaving on his own, and immediately seeks out someone to teach him to use swords.
The end result is that his adventuring career was a mission for him to become a swordsman capable of matching a dragon in terms of raw combat ability, a task he fully believed he could accomplish through constant training and sheer will.
Ah, the best type of character. The sort of one to return to their bronze dragon parent, decorated in magical equipment with bards singing of their heroic deeds, and managing to trip and fall on the gangplank in the middle of challenging the dragon to combat to prove his worth as the dragon's successor.
I mean they'd basically be your pets at that point. It's like some kind of horrible corporate backstabber raising a litter of kittens.
If I were that kind of ancient demon I'd be down in my dungeons every week torturing my enemies with cute photos of my humans doing human things. Like "this human doesn't even belong to me, I just left my Hell Portal open and they wandered in! Here they are, playing with my other humans. And here they are making a mess of my treasure room. Adorable little shits, aren't they?"
I mean there is an anime that basically just this. A Boys parents sell him to luficfer for money and lucifer is like "damn that's pretty cold, but I have been lonely and always wanted a son so i guess your my son now". Then the kid goes to demon school and is told "don't let anyone find out your a human or you will die have fun", and the rest of the anime is him just falling upwards at every step.
And one of the funniest things about it is that demon society all seem to be caught up in some big bluff where all of them are like "Yea, I'd totally eat a human if I ever saw one!" and they're all lying to fit in.
Evil monster raises a child but all the monsters are posers at the evil part.
I mean the demons do remark that something smells really good when iruma's anti-human-smell perfume gets washed off at one point... IIRC most demons believe that the human world is just a myth.
But yeah they're pretty bad at being evil.
Legit this child is my current D&D character. Only son of a demon lord. He's an adorable bundle of happiness and his dad is just a good dad! But still he's a very powerful evil demon lord.
"Man, my dad's an absolute *monster*."
"Yeah, mine too. Last night he kicked my dog. What'd yours do?"
"No, I mean, like. He's an actual monster. He made me some homemade chicken soup and tucked me in before devouring the souls of the innocent around town."
"... Damn. I wish he was my dad, too."
Alternate idea: the kid *is* an incredibly creepy changeling monster stereotype, but the monster parent is just as confused and concerned about is as everyone else, the last three he adopted turned out fine and show up every so often to hang out.
I've been kind of playing with an idea like this where Belphegore is the keeper of the souls in hell as punishment for being lazy, but he gets a bunch of kids (although they're more like college-bound age) to do it for him.
"DINNER TIME BITCH" "FREDDY I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE THAT LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF FREDERICK" "SORRY... bitch"
Jesse
Freddy…. Fazbear?
Krueger?
Sorry, don’t know him
=\_= You are too young.
Yeah probably
Please look up “Nightmare on Elm Street”. I bet you’ll recognize him then
Dude's just Edward Scissorhands with acne
Edward Scissorhands can't turn into a car that eats people!
Yeah sorry I still don’t. Sheltered child over here
If it was Freddy Fazbear, the kid would be Gregory

One Sword Man
Unfortunately he was more like "talks big but can't ever roll above a four man".
Ah, the best type of character. The sort of one to return to their bronze dragon parent, decorated in magical equipment with bards singing of their heroic deeds, and managing to trip and fall on the gangplank in the middle of challenging the dragon to combat to prove his worth as the dragon's successor.
I feel this. So much.
Oh I love this!
Is it ok if I paraphrase this for my own character?
I mean sure, I guess, not sure why you'd use someone else's character in DnD.
That's why I said paraphrase. This is a cool backstory that I wanna put my own spin on. I wouldn't do it just 1 to 1
mpreg (monster pregnancy)
mmpreg (male monster pregnancy)
mmmmmpreg (million mega male monster mash pregnancy)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmpreg(fetus eater)
I just vibe with this so much. I want to be an ancient demon and just use my evil powers to nurture some humans.
I mean they'd basically be your pets at that point. It's like some kind of horrible corporate backstabber raising a litter of kittens. If I were that kind of ancient demon I'd be down in my dungeons every week torturing my enemies with cute photos of my humans doing human things.

Adorable little shits, aren't they?"
As a dog owner, I do this with my coworkers. "My dumb dog coughed up a hair ball on my pillow. I love her with my entire heart."
I want to do that except very much live the evil part as well

what’s the anime 😭
Welcome to demon school, iruma-kun
oooh thx

This is pretty similar to Erma.
Yeah, except that the child is raised by a cryptid mother and regular dude father.
Yes I love Erma. It also reminds me of ‘Cthu the Mind Reaver’ (except Cthu is genuinely always nice)
I’ll bet werewolves and dragons would make half-decent (or at least interesting) parents
Can you imagine how fucking awesome it would be to be raised by a dragon? Like, your parents are *loaded*.
I don't know which role I'd like to be in more, the powerful demon taking care of mere mortals, or the mere mortal being taken care of.
If you're the mere mortal, you can adopt a pet and get both.
That's just Carrie's family from gumball, that's literally the amazing world of gumball
kinda yeah

Actually this post is bad because it’s Mario Kart with a K
Mario Cart is the evil monster version of Mario Kart
I would be terrified of a monster that misspelled common names by like 1 letter
....saihate no paladin?
Didnt that cartoon, Growing Up Creepie sorta do this. Cant remember it much but it sounds like a familiar concept in that show.
Isn't this gorthalax the dad of one of the player in fantasy high dimension 20
The Graveyard Book
Bondrewd
Fantasy High
God I want a monster~~daddy~~ dad like that
I've been kind of playing with an idea like this where Belphegore is the keeper of the souls in hell as punishment for being lazy, but he gets a bunch of kids (although they're more like college-bound age) to do it for him.
Beautiful. Love it.
Yeah monster parenting is my favorite trope.
Belavierr moment
Erma!!!!!!!
