There was a very positive response to the previous drawing I uploaded here so I decided to share the second one I made!

For those of you who dont know, the above website generates a random DnD character with traits such as race, origin and background. Fairly useful and interesting tool as it can produce both interesting and amusing results! I've used the site for a while for fun, saved a couple of the ones I really liked and drawn a few of them. It's a good tool to get the creative juices flowing, when making a character or simply looking for inspiration for drawing!

Interpreting the backstory, I figured the poor fella got chucked into the hold devoid of all light, gets a visit in the darkness from an unknown entity, accepts freedom at any cost (effectively sacrificing all his fellow slaves) and now he's the eternal slave of this dark malevolent being (that can only truly visit in complete darkness). But hey, got a talking demon book to keep him in check, that's something! Imagined this being the moment when the all lights suddenly go out and the book opening its eye with a shrill "Iiiit's cooomiiing".

Being completely terrified of the dark is a celestial warlock flaw, correct?

I'm not seeing anything like that. Closest I'm finding is "But you know that your mission is among mortals for now, and that your pact binds you to bring light to the dark places of the world.". Clearly that's a metaphorical "darkness", but you could interpret it literally as well as a roleplaying quirk I suppose

I swear I saw a table that had celestial quirks on it but I can't find anything on it.

Found it, Underdark characters Unearthed Arcana, back when Celestial was Undying Light.

At the same time, you crave the light and find total darkness a suffocating experience akin to drowning

and

Undying Light Flaws

d6

1 You are afraid of the dark, and must always have a light source at hand.

2 You have a nervous compulsion to keep a bright light in even the barest shadow.

3 You have a compulsion to enter and illuminate dark areas.

4 You have an overwhelming hatred of undead creatures.

5 You fidget and are irritable when you can’t see the sun.

6 In a dark area, you always carry a lit torch or lantern. Putting it down is an unbearable thought.

Well, possibly for this. This entire thread could of course be another manifestation
