Nix, a Children's Party Magician - Quirks and Quests with Alex (Quest)

Alex brings Nix to the table. Alex is a traveling magician who cheerfully becomes a hero.

Alex and I discuss mad libs character creation, the nature of magic, and being inspired by a hat.

This character is built for Quest.

Alex, also known as Apples_n_Cinnamon, a ttrpg enthusiast and a blooming forever GM. They make TTRPG content somewhat sporadically but play in a variety of games in as many systems as possible!
