Angie brought heart, soul, humor, depth, and their everything to Xio Marino. This thread made us feel ALL THE FEELINGS!!

Creating with them has been nothing short of a joy, and I cannot wait for you all to meet their new character. You won’t have to wait too much longer ❤️

Stay tuned!

It has been two weeks since Xio Marino’s departure from Known Realms: Tolesh over on @talesarchived.bsky.social

Almost 3 years, 120 sessions, and one of the most personal characters I have ever had the pleasure to embody. I wanted to share some thoughts ✨

When I was first asked to join Tolesh, one of the most important things I told myself about this character was that I wanted to start small. A Tiefling warlock/rogue was about basic as one could get. I’m so happy allowed them to evolve with the sandbox.

I am all for extensive backstories! With Xio however, I was able to use the world and the story to help me shape them. It was like learning something new about a friend every time it happened. I fell in love with this character.

Getting to work with @archivistalec.bsky.social on the complexities and thematic goals for this character was a push and pull of creativity. One that I am so grateful for. Alec not only worked with me but challenged me to think of other perspectives.

Xio initially sprung into existence inspired by Monkey D Luffy. I wanted to play with identity, community, family and responsibility. I used that foundation, and then my emotional connection realized Xio into something so much more their own. And I really hope it reflects throughout.

And from a place of safety and consent I was also able to explore a complicated and beautiful side to what it means nurturing relationship. It inspired me to ask questions, to not just inform my character but also myself as a player.

Lastly, the earnestness and respect I was provided in incorporating my Puerto Rican culture and identity to Xio’s journey. I could write an entire separate thread about it. Finding purpose in giving back to the Island that raised him. It is something I yearn for myself.
