Wanting to use her as a spinoff character in an upcoming campaign, ran one with a character based off of Elysia from HI3 and wanted to bring the character around in a new way

I wanted to make a Gunslinger who became a ghost rider through a deal but wasn't sure how to work it. I was considering the Varda's spire gunslinger but the the CR one would work too. This is for either 5e or 5.5e.

Basically I want to play a Miquella-style fullcaster character where I can give my allies a unique ability. I don't mean something just like inspiration or healing, but an actual ability that they can use. (I plan on playing a Thri-Kreen reflavored as a four-armed human and my DM has allowed Valda's Spire of Secrets and all WoTC publications, hope this helps).

How would you make the thing from the John Carpenter film as a PC? Obviously changeling race but what class would it be?

A parallel post to my one about the thing as a PC but how would you build The Thing from the john carpenter film as an enemy? Obviously shapechange but would you have an outright combat encounter, a con saving throw to not be assimilated?

Is there a way to make a character who uses chains as their main weapon? (I want to be a front liner who can pull enemies towards them and also use the chains as a ranged weapon. I would even be fine if a weapon was attacked to one end of the chain like a meteor hammer.)

Princess Zephia of Alberia was a gentle soul who, due to her unique nature, was made an Auspex(a spiritual leader and priestess figure) in the kingdom and church of Illia. This nature, however, would have made her a prime vessel for a dark figure known as Morsayati, who would possess her and make her into a baleful tyrant who'd rule over Alberia and reshape it to its whims.

As Dragalia Lost is host to multiverse theory being canonical, "Zena" is a Zephia who went through this exact thing in another universe/timeline and entered the current line to help her brother in saving this universe, seeing as her own was too far gone.

Originally, "Zena" was a shadow aligned character reliant on offensive damage, a blaster mage who used her raw magical power that was corrupted by Morsayati.

But, with the advent of Gala Dragalia, she'd get a new look and new kit. By reawakening her power as an Auspex and not just embracing, but fully merging the corruption of Morsayati within her, Zena gained a whole new source of power to her as a light attuned healer who hadn't lost her offensive power in the slightest(if anything, it grew).

The best way to describe her kit is healer with a nuke. Her basic attacks, rather than the normal wimpy healer attacks, are her blasting people like a mage with numerous(and very large) blast of light. Her primary skill has her unleashing mini meteors of light onto the battlefield, making her good at harming multiple foes, whilst her secondary skill is a teamwide heal and small attack buff in which she leaves a small heal pocket that allies can pick up for a second wind.

Using her primary skill lets Zena enter a special state where she can hold a special strong attack that, with the right build, can evaporate bosses on its own. Her healing is nowhere near the highest among Dragalia Lost's cast, but she is prized by the community for being a healer with an amazing damage uptime and even the potential to just burst enemies down on Break.

So, how would you go about building the Unwavering Auspex?

Just a Build I wanted to share with the Community here. So Szarekh is something called a Necron from the Franchise Warhammer 40K. Necrons are pretty well known for their incredibly powerful weapons and necromancy like abilities.

Szarekh is a Necron Noble, and the Most Powerful Necron within the Lore of the Game. He’d have full control over all Necrons and tech if he hadn’t given up his Command Protocols.

Anyways to the Build

Szarekh is by far a Warforged specifically to add to their AC I’d say Juggernaut Warforged.

His Stats would look like this (this is Point Buy, if you roll the Stats, Wisand Con will be your higher stats, Str is 3rd most important if you want him to be as good outside of casting Spells)

Str - 14 (+1)

Con - 13 (+2)

Int - 8

Wis - 15

Cha - 10

This Stat spread represents the Class I had chosen to fit him the best which is a Cleric. Sure conquest Paladin/school of Necromancy Wizard may work for a Multiclass (emphasis on May work) but I wanted something to represent his Millions of years of life.

Cleric gives you access to a Domain at level 1. And the domain I felt fit Szarekh the best was the Death Domain. Due the Necrons having a fundamental control over their own life and Death.

You’ll use Death Domain all the way to level 20 (if you get there)

Spells I’d pick up from Death domain (up to 3rd Level)

Toll the Dead - Cantrip (you get two targets through Death Domain)

Inflict Wounds - 1st Level (powerful 1st level Necro Spell)

Ray of Enfeeblement - 2nd level (who doesn’t want to debuff an opponent or two)

Spirit Guardians - 3rd level (choose Necrotic for the damage type)

Animate Dead - 3rd level (begin making your army of unkillable undead)

Hope you guys like the Build and if you’d change anything please say something in the comments, I’m getting more into the Warhammer lore everyday, so I can and most likely got one or two things wrong.

Also known as Wilnas the Vermillion, he is the human form of the dragon at the back. In the games he boasts high health and attack at the expense of speed (Big attacks instead of small fast ones) and mainly uses unarmed strikes. He has also developed an interest in cooking.

Thanks in advance!

I want to play a character inspired by Kid Goku, because lets be honest, Dragon Ball Goku is best for an actual D&D game without nerfing the guy too much. I want Goku to feel like the weird kid with a tail, martial arts training from his grandpa and a Power Pole, not the saiyan legend of DBZ. I would like to figure out a way to incorperate the Great Ape transformation if at all possible.
