Orphelia enjoying a stay-cation after fighting for her life for months straight.
Orphelia and Ohana are mentioned as "twins." Is this because of their shared conception or do they have a closer relationship than the other siblings?
Yes and yes.
They grew up together in the same town and were friends cause their mothers were friends. They didn't realize they were actually siblings until puberty when their horns and tails started to grow in. When Orphelia was a dumb ass and removed her own eye to put in the magical prosthetic, Ohana created a treat for her to feel better:
After their 23rd birthdays, Ohana's mother passed away and the two of them left home to wander all over the Witch Woods and neighbouring settlements. Typically where one goes, you find the other nearby.
So what is the story with the tiefling siblings? Do they all in fact have the same infernal parentage? Or are they a found family? Or are they something else?
They are all half siblings, their dad is Obrilchet, a fiend. The only one that grew up with him in their life is the oldest, Ogusto.
Ogusto Ruflus is the "golden child" and his Warlock patron is Obrilchet. Ogusto is less than pleased by this and is hoping that one of us becomes the new golden child so he can run off and become an actuary or notary. His mother is a Tiefling that lives in the hells with her new demon husband. Being a child of divorce is tough. He loves structure and is slowly getting the hang of having siblings. He also has a thing for hitting on Orphelia's mother.
Orphelia Kagliano, one half of "The Twins", is a Bard and prostitute (entertainer all around). Her mother, Hildegard, is a Goliath who got pregnant at an orgy that Ohana's mother was also at. Orphelia grew up with her younger brothers, Galok, Varadath, and Aurmith. Galok and Varadath are full blooded Goliath and Aurmith is half Dwarf. They were also raised by their Dwarven father, Garth. She is extroverted, a show off, and kinky. She is also a doting older sister.
Ohana Vana, the other half of "The Twins", is a Swarmkeeper Ranger. She was raised by her Drow mother, Qonila Vana, a priestess and healer who died three years before the start of the game. She has a wanderlust, a love of animals, and is fiercely protective of her twin.
Ozette "Iron Blood" Ferroton, is known as "The Crime Sister", was raised by her Half-Orc mother along side her two brothers as part of a crime family. She is a Berserker Barbarian and a total city girl. She is thuggish and hates being a "little sister" thanks to Orphelia. Always willing to be a damage sponge in fights. Is surprisingly the third most intimidating sibling.
O-Cornelius (the O is silent), the "Unsettling Cinnamon Roll", is an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. Not sure who is mother is (Human?) as he was raised by a really incompetent death cult. It was a bad time as he was subjected to all the horrible and weird bullshit cult kids are subjected to, locked away his whole life until Ozette and her family took the cult down. He is new to everything and desperate to be part of a family, luckily all the siblings are loving and accepting of him. He is very sweet but a bit too willing to "Plan C" with every situation.... Plan C is FIRE and lots of it.
