Dreamers of Faerun was the first Dungeons and Dragons game I ever ran. It lasted from May 2020 until March 2021, when I had to stop GMing due to irl circumstances.
I...can't remember what was so devastating that I had to stop. But I still talk to my two main players from that game, and they still look back on my Gming with high regard. I will always be mushy about it.
It was the first DnD game I had ran, so I needed characters that I knew well and jumped at the chance to connect them to a player's backstory, which they were excited about. And who better than my main trio?

RELATIONSHIPS
Friends from middle school. Loads of lore of before they got to where they are now, but right now they are Besties. They are the most gossipy motherfuckers if left alone, they know everything about everyone and that can be either really helpful or fucking terrifying.
Taylor taught her the science behind her powers so she has even greater control over it, and she makes sure he doesn't trap himself in time loops for thirty years again trying to make sure that none of them get injured ever, at all. It's a good system.
Her energy and his steady persistence means they are an unstoppable force and immovable object trapping their problems between them until they're crushed.
Started as online friends, and then homestuck progression of "oh you're an alien!!!! sick >:)" and they became even closer friends. Dated for a while, but that's a whole other storyline with that.
They are also Besties, but in a different way than Calle and Taylor are. Calle and Xaiter are the "oh dear gods who left them unsupervised" besties. They create all kinds of lighthearted chaos and tend to be very mischevious. His tech skills and general handiness mixed with her unlimited support results in a multitude of silly inventions, "home-alone" schemes (deadliness varies), and widespread strange/confusing occurrences.
They are constantly hanging off of each other and fueling the other's activities.
Little sister!!!!! Calle has a good deal of Trauma from before they were all gods when she couldn't save Jessie (ouch) but has been working past being super protective of her.
Jessica is also very enabling of Calle's habit of adopting friends into family, and generally enables by being like "I will not be in this area for 30 minutes so I really hope nothing HAPPENS here" in a very Professor McGonagall way.
Calle loves her sister so much and knows that the feeling is mutual and that they show it differently. She loves talking to her and reading what Jessie has written. She is incredibly proud of everything her prodigy sister has achieved and will brag at the drop of a hat.
Fun Facts
She originated as a Homestuck OC, a Seer of Breath, which is where her windy powers came from.
She is functionally immortal, which means that unless she is outright killed, she will live. She does still experience pain, hunger and thirst though.
Backstories
Wait, as in multiple? Yes.
Look, I've had her in my head for at least 10 years, and actually recording stuff about her is still relatively new. In addition, since she's a dimension hopper, she has different iterations of herself and her Lore.
I'm still ironing out how I want to display all this, but I might separate it into Core Backstory Moments and then make a subpage for her more specific and fleshed out iterations.

QUICK BACKGROUND
Calypso was raised in the temple of Lliira in her town, abandoned when she was very young. She has no recollection of her parents at all.
She had several friends, and her childhood was mainly a happy one. (one of the friends was Taylor).
She always had very vivid dreams, and was visited by Lliira often. She thought this was the norm for years, until she talked about it once and everyone in the temple freaked out. She learned that this was rare, and that this surely is a sign to be a cleric, which she joyfully accepted. She worked and made a wage at the temple and served the town as a healer and entertainer.
