Sophie Katz brings Ekra to the table. Ekra is a dad on a mission, a Kenku finding his own way to communicate in a world that considers him less than human.
Sophie and I discuss how we create and learn language, the trauma of having to speak in your oppressor's language, and other ways that bards can inspire.
This character is built for D&D5e.
Sophie Katz is a Jewish, aromantic/asexual writer, storyteller, and all-around nerd! She is the host of the podcast "I Love This Thing So Fricking Much," currently on hiatus while she finishes up her master's degree.
"Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" is a reference to "Darmok," Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E02: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOnc74Vljx0
