CHARACTER NAME: Mollymauk Tealeaf
CANON: Critical Role, Campaign 2 - Mighty Nein
CANON POINT: After his death, episode 26
AGE: Unknown, estimated mid 20's, 26?
HISTORY: Biography
CRAU: /
PERSONALITY:
Liar: "Never trust the truth. The truth is vicious, the truth thinks that you owe it something… None of that. I like my bullshit. It’s good, it’s happy, it makes other people happy."
Trickster, deceiver, fraud, tease- you can use whichever word you want and it would be correct in Molly's case. After being picked up by the traveling circus, Molly has taken it upon him to promote it in the towns they visit. That would mostly consist of him telling extravagant stories about what the circus had lived through, what they saw, and what will be performed that night. Even some of the Mighty Nein get sometimes annoyed with how much actual bullshit can leave his mouth. To the point that everyone's giving a second thought whenever he says something. It's not that he's a pathological liar and can't help himself- he can. But he chooses not to. He loves telling lies and making up stories and doesn't care much if people don't believe him. He believes that if the things he tells others make them happy, really happy, then he sees no reason not to do it. He does admit he'd have a lot of problems if he's ever jailed- he'd never be able to shut up and he'd make things ten times worse.
The best lie he's ever told- he convinced a town, pretending for three weeks to be reincarnated Royalty from overseas.
Hedonistic: "I'm always interested in people who are excited to experiment."
Probably the reason he's not rich. He loves to spend coins on anything and everything he finds beautiful or brings him pleasure. Visiting brothels and having 'company' for the night (sometimes even two at once) is not an uncommon occurrence, having them feed him fruit and giving him ~full release~ massages. He pays and buys things that make him happy, no matter how outrageous they are- he really didn't need a 10ft tapestry of Platinum Dragon, and yet he still threw ten gold for it. He's also seen using drugs with Beau just because he could and it sounded fun. Anything that sounds thrilling and seems like fun- Molly is down to try it out, regardless of the consequences.
Loyal and Caring:
With a little star next to it. He is loyal to the people he's close to, to people he knows and is attached to. He never tricks or steals from them, and is always there to support them. He easily jumps into the fight to defend, whether verbally or with swords and magic. He snaps Caleb out of his stupor after he freezes from using a fire spell, and reprimands Nott for going through Fjord's stuff. There are bursts of brutal honesty sometimes where he doesn't sugarcoat his words, but no matter how much they are different, he just accepts that fact and almost nurtures it, going forward with it.
On the other hand- people that have too much on them or are just plain rude, vicious, or mean- he doesn't have second thoughts about making their pouches lighter (or make a head shorter if that's what they pick). He does sometimes take pity on bandits- when they are filthy and poor-looking.
Playful:
Mollymauk's appearance in itself is playful- he wears colorful clothes and a lot of shiny jewels. A walking, shiny peacock (he even has a peacock tattoo). He likes to come up with teasing jokes and pranks (he traded Nott for a vial of acid saying the letter is for the academy but in reality, it was completely blank- he returned the vial). He likes reading tarot cards to people, which was one of his 'jobs' while he was with the carnival- telling people stories about their future, mostly made up (see section liar above) and seeing their reaction, he gets a kick out of it. Especially if they are into it, like Jester. Which is how they bond easily.
POWERS:
Abilities: Canon Powers: Mollymauk is Tiefling Blood Hunter, 5th level, DnD class that Matthew Mercer created. Abilities he has come from both his race and his class.
Tiefling:
- Hellish Resistance: resistance to fire and fire-like magical attacks and spells.
- Darkvision: In the dim light, he can see as if it is daylight; in a dark room, things are dimly lit. The range is 60feet.
- Vicious Mockery: Molly can insult a specific target in the Infernal language, and it will physically hurt them.
- Charm Person: Once a day, Molly can charm someone within his line of sight for an hour to see him as a friend, and be willing to do what he asks them to do.
- Enthrall: Once a day, Molly can enthrall somebody into paying attention to him and only him, ensuring that they won't be able to notice other people around them.
Blood Hunter:
- Hunter's Bane: Molly can sense the presence of fey, undead, demonic, and other unnatural creatures. If the creature is specific, he can recall abilities and track them down.
- Crimson Rite - Rite of the Frozen: Molly can imbue any sharp object, with the element of ice by cutting himself on them.
- Blood Maledict - Blood Curse of the Eyeless: Molly can make someone within sixty feet go blind for two minutes
- Ghostslayer - Rite of the Dawn: Molly can make any sharp object glow by cutting himself on them; the damage is amplified heavily if it is an undead creature
- Blood Maledict - Blood Curse of Purgation: Molly can remove poison from somebody's bloodstream. If he amplifies this, he can cure temporary blindness, deafness, or paralysis.
INVENTORY:
- Summer's Dance- Mollymauk's signature scimitar
- Glass Decorated second scimitar
- Moonweaver Tarot Cards
- bejeweled pouch with gold coins (around 30)
THEMES: Carnivals, tarot cards, colorful lanterns, two moons, scimitars, stories around fire, night, secrets

As this is a game set loosely in Regency England, we want to know how your character will adapt to this setting. How might they react to the culture, gender roles, and societal expectations placed upon them?:
If one wants to put it short and simple- he'd fit like a glove on a hand. No, he's not rich, no he's not very literate, and no he's not honest and he lies with every third sentence that leaves his mouth. But after living with the circus for so long, and traveling through many villages, towns, and cities, Mollymauk has learned how to read people. And then tell them exactly what they want to hear. There were problems from time to time due to his appearance, as tieflings were sometimes seen as a curse or "ill omen", but that never stopped him from cranking up his charm to 20 and convincing the entire city he's a reincarnation of a royal prince from far, far away and that he's there to bring them luck and prosperity.
Molly is really good at reading the room and the mood, he has a lot of tact and he can display a good amount of manners when he wants to, when he deems it is needed. Even if it was mostly to get the answers or items from another person. He's a quick learner, and if the new place -dictates- how he should handle himself, he most likely wouldn't like it, but he'd still play his part not to raise suspicion. He would keep an eye on the people he cares about (really cares about), and make sure they are alright. If he has to lie and put up a front for the other person, he wouldn't even blink. Because lies, deceit, mystery, and show are what his life was for good two years since he woke up in the earth.
Lying about being a perfect gentleman wouldn't even be a challenge.
You've been invited to a formal dinner! How charming! Now, how do you plan to conduct yourself in such a space? Remember, appearance is everything!:
An invitation for me? How charming indeed! Flattery will get you everywhere with me.
Well, even if this invitation is a bit unexpected, the hosts will probably want us all to be all 'prim and proper'. Not my style, not something I reach for daily, I'll admit, but if the hosts say it, then it has to be that way, right? I could always wear something scandalous and make everyone in the room faint from shock, however, it has lost its novelty, especially here. It's as if people are waiting eagerly for someone to be indecent. Their lives must be so boring... And I like to play by my own rules.
So what would be more surprising than a flashy, tattooed tiefling? A flashy, tattooed tiefling following the rules of conduct and dress code and everything that comes with that package. Perhaps a gift for the hosts of the dinner, if they accept it. And honestly, one always must bring a smile with them- the guests will be happy and relaxed. As for me- I will have an easier time figuring out what kind of people they really are.
Fun, isn't it? I must run now, I need to have an outfit fitted for me. I'm not missing this party for anything.
