Ref sheet for a D&D character I have run briefly in a game and in a few one shots. I will probably run him again in one-shots until I feel like he has a good story arch.

Full name is Vanřemnin Kořaz with the ř being sort of a purred rolled r. Normally he just goes by "Van" which is pronounced sort of like the dutch word (literally v-a-n in IPA).

Van is a bit of a himbo, though maybe lacking some of that buff. The important thing is that Van does not always think things, being a creature of id. He once interrupted a funeral by shouting out the name of the person he was there to find and asking people if they knew him (he was subsequently dragged away by the scruff of the neck by a friend before he could be murdered).

He was close to his uncle who was a famous traveler. His uncle gave Van a key in his will and a cryptic note as to what it opens. Van deiced to set out to find out what it opened. Rather than figure out the note, Van reasoned he could just try the key in every lock he found until he found the one it opened.

Van also has a tendency to go through party member's stuff, not to steal, just to see what interesting things are in there. If offered a wish by a god, he would wish to always find somewhere warm and safe to sleep at night. Van would unironically wear a Hawaiian shirt and crocs (he would wear the crocs on his ears to keep them dry of course). I am running out of ways to say it, but he is just dumb, earnest, sweat, loyal to his friends, a bit socially awkward, and very curious about the world in general. That just makes him fun and relaxing to play.

In terms of the mechanics, he is a monk with the drunken master specialization. When combined with the Tabaxi double movement ability, and climb speed, lets him have a lot of fun running around the battlefield.
