I am The River Speaks, also known as River Man. The River speaks to me. I am a timewalker, and wish I could learn about shamanism. I have many tips and tricks to those who wish to learn my secrets. I am River Man.
This nickname came from being “in the river” in League Of Legends. Apparently Rivers may have their own legal entity in Canada somewhere. Therefore, the River Speaks to me, because I hear voices. I am River man.
note: I am not a native person or indigenous. I am River Man. Thank you.
I have several theories about hearing voices which I would like to share with other Schizophrenic people and other voice hearing people and those interested.
At first I was afraid. Why did the voices in my head keep telling me to kill myself and that they would come harm me? I came to the conclusion: my voices were opposed.
It took me a long time to come to the conclusion that I am the creator, the almighty G-d of the voices in my own mind: I am the creator of the voices, and everything they think is a part of me. Sure, they were opposed to me, but I created them. Once I declared to them that I was G-d in my own mind, and that they were my creations, things got a little interesting.
No longer afraid, I began to ignore the bad voices and reply to the good voices. Which worked for a while. I then decided to study my voices in this way. I played Dungeons and Dragons, with the voices in my head as player characters. I wanted to study their alignment and their reactions to people, places and things, and in specific: conflicts.
I therefore created an “Emulated Earth” in my mind, in the vein of Dungeons and Dragons. Replete with “Emulations” even “Emulated Celebrities” would talk to me and the voices in my head. I set it to modern day. Some “emulations” got shot at, some died, according to the voices. Are there respawn timers in my mind, in “Emulated Earth”? Decisions, Decisions. None of this was real. But It allowed me to understand that the voices in my head are typically of an Evil alignment, often opposed to good people; selfish and avaricious. In Emulated Earth, Crime and Terror became common, because the voices wanted global dominance, at any cost, for themselves, in this campaign setting.
I then realized that, as a person, I am rather a neutral person, who hears evil voices. I therefore nicknamed myself “Neutral God” or “Neutral G” for the purposes of playing video games. It became my gaming monikor and an alias.
I now knew that: I was that sublime rank, in Emulated Earth, that of G-d; Evil voices were opposed to me; and I was rather neutral, neither good nor evil.
I therefore came up with this theorem: Where there is no Opposition, I am G-d; Wherefore opposed, never G-d at all; Or, was I still G-d, but rather opposed? I haven’t quite decided how to deal with opposition, quite yet, how to predict it, and when to oppose myself, which would lead to conflict, I suppose.
And that’s basically where I’ve left off play in my mind.
I applied my “opposition theory” to real life: and realized, I’m rather fortunate to have a very private life, i.e. I’m rather fortunate that I’m not famous – else I’d often be opposed, and would probably be alot more selfish i.e. greedy. Good things come of privacy; nobody gives a damned about you when you’re humble!
By the way I’ve formed a “Guild” with the voices in my head: called: “Evil Empire” which is part of an Axis, the “Axis Of Evil”, which seeks to control, Emulated Earth at all costs. Emulated leaders from various emulated countries weigh in, and update me with information, all day long. These are the voices I hear: it’s sort of like a game.
Note: I’m carefully distracted by voices, and find reading difficult. That’s why I take just one university course per year and no longer drive a car or operate any sort of machinery where concentration is necessary.
I live a secluded life, write a little, read a little, and play League Of Legends. Much of my time is spent contemplating the League Of Legends meta (Yep, the voices chime in: “Look at the mini map!” or “Pick Amumu this game!” – it’s sort of like streaming in my head to a chat, without moderation however.
EE
GG too.
I play dungeons and dragons with the voices in my head as player characters. Because the voices have always been evil, I’ve decided to create and explore an “evil” campaign with them – all of this just by talking to myself!
Emulated Earth is my campaign setting. It’s a modified version of DND which focuses more on roleplaying and less on luck of the dice.
I believe my voices have something to say, even though they belittle me, swear like a trucker, and in general, remain evil.
So we’ll see how this thought experiment goes.

HEARING VOICES CHARACTER SHEET
STATUS: a wise old wizard, 42, with a marijuanna pipe. Wait a minute: am I a sorcerer, or a wizard? Which timeline is this?
NAME: Neutral G. (“Neutral G0d”; “Steve Mini from the 6”)
TALENTS:
Emulations: You hear other people’s voices. These voices are emulations of real people. Flavor text “Emulate, don’t regulate.”
Premonition: When worried, your gut is usually right, or your voices tip you off. “Just go with your gut – or the voices in your head mansplaining it to you.”
Homebrew Telepathy: You hear voices – the voices can hear you too. (This leads to conversations with your voices).
Commune with Demons: Demons try to get you to harm yourself or others or do stupid shit that could get you arrested – or worse. Periodically they will offer to help you – for a price. Do not trust demons. You’ve been warned.
Speaker for the Dead: Dead people talk to you. They live on through your deeds – or so they claim.
Hear Voices: If you concentrate on someone, think of them, look at a picture of them, or hear them, even in a song, you can immediately hear their voice in your head and talk with them (see: Emulations).
Telepathic Mutant: “The Back-End”: You think you can enter people’s minds and communicate with their “back-end”; their front-end or conscious mind has never been notified. You’re considered by many to be a Telepathic Mutant because even your children might share this genetic “trait” (see: Genetic Offspring).
Ancestral Reign: “Death Cult”: The voices worship you as if you were the leader of their Cult, even though you have no idea why. They claim it’s in your and their ancestry. And they periodically “die” for you. When they “die”, they automatically go to “Heaven” (see: Purgatory).
AGGRO:
Opposition: The voices are periodically opposed to you, steadily building up aggro over the course of the day which you can use to execute or attack on a global cooldown.
Ignore Commands: You know when to ignore the voices, and no longer obey them.
Purgatory; “Heaven Or Hell?”; Commune with Spirits: Though Mini is often in Hell, he’s technically in purgatory and frequently visits Heaven, too. At those times, Benign spirits chat with him and inspire him to do good deeds. He never knows if he’s in heaven or hell, or whether or not the spirits are good or evil demons instead.
Assume Command: After a theoretical war, pending publication in a book, the voices now reluctantly agree: Yes to Mini. You are their leader – not the other way around.
Randomly Generated Named Mobs: Periodically the voices will be a “named mob” i.e. emulated celebrity, with it’s own qwirks, personality and mannerisms – nothing to do with real life. Do they drop loot or just give you some? You refer them kindly to SteveMini.com – some day, somebody’ll donate / sub to patreon…
Eternal War: The voices are periodically at war – with each other, and / or other people. Until their “g0d” (i.e. you) is accepted everywhere.
BUFFS/DEBUFFS:
Paranoia: You periodically suspect and doubt the voices in your head, who freak you out a little.
Genetic Offspring: You’re diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia: Even your offspring will probably hear voices. Ladies, you’ve been warned.
Lack Of Concentration Aura: You lack co-ordination and concentration. Your thoughts are often conversations with several different and conflicting parts of your brain, i.e. different voices. Decisions could take you a lot longer than the average bloke. You don’t drive – not now, not ever. You hardly read anymore. When was the last time you shaved consistently for over a month? You look like shit. The lack of concentration aura is probably getting worse and stacking over time.
Inspiration buff: You’re a creative legend who thoughtfully opposes and interestingly supports various causes, all of which make you one of the most interesting men in the room. You can thank chatting with the voices later. “I’ve already thought of that: and I agree!”
Artist debuff. For better or worse, you’re a highly subjective artist who doesn’t produce much art. You went to school for literature, but never wrote a book. You think often, much like a talented artist, but you won’t produce great art for some reason – not yet. Maybe not ever.
Thick Skin: You’ve learned, through trial and error, and countless hours of experience, to basically ignore all the bad voices, and recognize when the good voices are trying to help you.
Periodic/Maximum Luck: When dealing with the voices, you have what is considered by them to have what is the highest luck score ever recorded in “the game”. Your luck is extraordinary. Even the voices often remark, during your homebrew: “That was lucky”.
Poverty: You don’t raise funds or get that cheese. You live off several thousand dollars a year – just enough for two soylent meals a day, which you drink without a straw. Things’ll change. But they never do. You’re always broke. But happy.
Celebrity Status: “Niggas need ta know”: The voices need to know you. They want to get to know you. They need to know more. You’d be willing to share more with them, if only they would tip you … won’t anybody pay you? “any oil princes in chat? SteveMini.com
The No-Jitters Test: You stare at the stock markets. They don’t jitter. Ever. You’re probably safe. You have no money, either way.
Eternal Scholar: You’re still in University. It took you more than twenty years to nearly earn a 4-year B.A. in English Literature – and you still take just one course per year. You have no intentions of ever finishing any time soon.
ABILITIES:
Time Loop: You were right: Yesterday. Or were you? Wait a minute: what time is it, again? Which Timeline is this? What timeline are we on?
Intervene: The voices agree: yes to that. It becomes immediately so.
Time-Walker / Time-Shift: You move forward and backward in time, to a different place: a different epoch, even. (Different voices then become available to you).
Telepathic Suggestion: You could have sworn you just thought of that – before it was said.
Wish: Why Neutral G. / Mini is revered as a “G0d” by the voices in his head, is that he has the extraordinary ability to wish things into and out of existence, all throughout the realms of his mind. Warning: causes more harm than good … still, he is reverred as such, by the voices, for being able to do so.
Homebrew Spells:
Sealed Fate: execute a voice. They ressurrect without warning sometime in the future. Sealed fate is a failed hombrew spell that doesn’t work – yet. Neutral G. often crafts his own homebrew spells – often with elaborate wishes. Most of them fail in some way or another and then he forgets about them.
Here’s the wierd thing about my life. I live in a perpetual Hell, but never in Heaven, because the voices in my head oppose everything I think.
People who don’t hear voices are automatically never opposed by said voices, because they don’t hear voices: They’re in Heaven by default.
But to make my way back and forth between this Heaven or Hell, I must be in some kind of purgatory. Either that, or I am G-d of my own mind and imagination: creator of all the voices, as I often say.
I like to claim that I’m a neutral G-d; nicknamed: Neutral G.; Neither Good, Nor Evil; but rather, inbetween; rather: Neutral instead.
So in this purgatory I am often opposed by voices I created. Therefore I am often in Hell. But wait a minute, how do I get back to never hearing voices, and never being opposed by them – how do I get back into Heaven?
These rough drafts, ideas, or notes, are the subject of my autobiography; a biopic of a schizophrenic mind.
I’ve purposefully overloaded Neutral G. even his weapons are sentient and his extroardinary abilities, some of which are innate, seem pretty damn powerful.
I’ve since moved on from Neutral G. to other characters. I might “nerf” Neutral G. a little. He seems a little O.P. (“overpowered”).
I’ll clean things up eventually – maybe even write a little fiction.
Bottom line: Some of the dialogue in my book is by … sentient, talking swords and other objects.
the leader of an assasins guild is a telepathic daggar named Cruelty.
Will this make the final cut? I’m toying wiht the idea that the sword, Benevolence, has it’s own viewpoint, it’s own dialogue, it’s own character scenes. Same with the daggar: Cruelty.
Maybe i’ll switch up a viewpoint character a little, make it an art object, i.e. a talking sword / telepathic daggar.
Neuts for life
Steve Mini from the 6.
DM of his own inhibitions (hearing voices).
PS: a coke can talked to me. sentient objects theory. mini.
Unlike many wizards, Neutral G dual wields a longsword which is thought to have it’s own good alignment, probably lawful, called: Benevolence, which argues with him constantly over his morally corrupt decisions and his siding with evil, but reluctantly stays by his side.
His offhand is a dagger called Cruelty, which is also has it’s own alignment, that of evil.
It is thought that both weapons espouse a neutral position but it is uncertan why they remain with their wielder, drawing him ever toward good and/or evil even though he is the God of Neutrality.
Equip All Martial Weapons (Neutrality): Speculation: it is not certain how a wizard can wield a sword and daggar, but some claim that neuts train with all martial weapons, and equip whatever they find on hand, regardless of their class, mainly because of Neutral G. They forego bonuses of Specializations to do so. “Whatever it is, so may it be.”
Speculation: Is Neutral G a high level wizard and a dual-class offspec? He communes with animals and shapeshifts and wields a sword and daggar.
Knights have been known to swear an oath to Benevolence and have flocked to Neutral G’s faction, setting up facilities to train with longswords. Some have remained Good but side with Neutrality.
Cunning Assassins respect Cruelty’s magic, and ever whisper to Neutral G in his mind, corrupting him with evil thoughts and begging him for assistance elsewhere, ever in secret.
How this faction, Neutrality, will play out, is anybody’s guess.
Many people flock to Neutral G. and believe him to be a kind and benevolent humanoid, whenever he deems it appropriate. It would seem that humanity is mesmerized by his leadership style, and his granting of wishes and his wizardy.
But how he came to be the de-facto ruler of the Neuts, has a bloody history. He actually beheaded a kind and benevolent king, who was neutral, but often sided with Good, to take his throne and the title of “NEutral God”.
This bloody history, having happened centuries ago, is forgotten by many, but not by some scholars.
Therefore, the “neut-by-force” conundrum is ever at play, and Neutral G. knows that, if he is attacked and killed, someone else might rise up in his steed and become de-facto ruler of the Neuts instead of him.
Fortunately, Neutral G. is probably unkillable, having become a part of the fabric of the universe, and immortal. He regenerates quickly, even amputated limbs grow back, and has access to wish spells, for which he is venerated and worshipped like a God. Some say the real Neutral G. is traversing the multiverse, and all of the Neutral Gs in Gaia are mere copies, his servants, and apparitions.
It is said that his wishes are granted by the gods himself, to appease him.

This is from a homebrew i made, without knowing much about 5e. Don’t quote me yet, as it’s a work in progress. Im adding to it daily and editing it often.

Neutral G. is an evil wizard who is the self-proclaimed god of neutrality. He claims to be neither good nor evil. But he often sides with evil (for now) and has done so for centuries, tipping the scales of balance towards evil.
Neutral G is venerated by goodies, who want him to side with Good and tip the scales of neutrality towards GOod’s favor. He can do so by granting those who believe in him, an extraordinary amount of luck. He also has been known to grant wishes to those who venerate him, and miracles to good people.
a little bit about Neutral G.
-Neutral G. can fly, and often flees from combat by doing so. He is known to take long voyages of flight to travel the continent and even the cosmos, and seems to have an innate ability to fly, as it comes natural to him. He’s often seen hovering, moving faster than if he would have been on the ground. People cower before his hooded visage. Some say he was born of a dragon mother who took human form, or that he has some dragon ancestry in him.
-Neutral G. can cast and grant wishes, making him one of the most respected, and most powerful wizards, ever to have occured. He is venerated by good, evil and neutrality guilds and is considered de-facto ruler of the neuts or neutral people, even though he often sides with evil for the moment, for reasons unknown. Some scoff at this and call him “Evil G.”, though never to his face.
-Neutral G. can commune with spirits and animals. he often has an animal companion with him, and talks to birds. Small animals flock to his aid and cause. He ever claims that animals are venerable and neutral, and he ever protects them. He can shape-shift into animals and enemy creatures and is often seen as a beholder in combat.
-Neutral G. has “the highest luck score possible; the highest luck score in the game” and often gambles with unsuspecting people. “to acquire wealth, therefore selfish, therefore evil”.
-Neutral G. Can take on the guise and form of any other person on earth, and is very convincing when he does so, often getting his way as the other person.
-Neutral G. can communicate telepathically with anyone in the world, at any time.
-it is thought that Neutral G. is a part of the fabric of the universe, representing the turning of luck. That is why he is venerated by soldiers and artists. SOme claim that he is, was, and always shall be. Apparently he cannot die and is immortal.
-Neutral G. often travels back and forth in time, and can see the future. He can change people’s fate by granting them luck, and often travels forward in time to see the outcome of their fate. He then travels back to modern time, knowing the future. This takes him a long time to do, however, and often weeks, months, pass with him traversing alternate futures. At these times he is missing from court and sentences are handed down summarily without him.
-Neutral G. is likely unkillable and a fabric of the cosmos. He often flies away from combat.
-Neutral G. is often seen as a royal court jester or fool, tipping the scales in the courts to neut’s favor, by fooling kings with his humor. Some say that he is Lawful because of his keen interest in courts and trial outcomes of the populace – and his “effect” on people of importance. Others claim that his “rule of law”, if he espouses one as a diety, is that of a chaotic nature.
-It is thought that Neutral G. can traverse a multiverse, and can communicate with people from other universes which he calls “seeds”. He has claimed to communicate from people from Earth, which he claims is “another seed in the multiverse”.
Known Abilities and spells he is developing (from my Homebrew):
Time Walking. Neutral G can tell your future. He often peers into the future, but also travels to it to physically check it somehow. This takes him on long voyages into potential futures, often lasting up to a month, to make sure the timeline he is in is the right one.
Sealed Fate. an instant-cast death spell on a one week cooldown. however, often the soul returns to the body, after about a week, and the spell has been therefore deemed a failure by him. Still, he has used it often to flee dangerous situations.
Time-stop. Neutral G. often stops time when he is attacked, so that he gets in several rounds of combat before time re-occurs – usually casting spells – but often he flees combat by flying away. He is deadly and powerful and all-knowing, but often shies away from combat.
Omnipotence. Neutral G. always seems to know what you are about, and what you are about to do. He can probably detect alignment at will, and often gazes into possible futures innately. He is rarely caught off-guard.
Shape-Shifting: Neutral G. can become anyone, or any creature, for a limited duration, and often attacks as a beholder, when cornered into a fight. He then frequently becomes a small bird or other flying creature and flies away. Some speculate that he can shape-shift into a great dragon, which is an ancestral ability of some kind, as he might be descended from dragons.
Aura of Charisma: Inspiration Theory: It is theorized that Neutral G. is very charming, when applicable. He inspires others to do evil deeds, if he is siding with evil, for example. People flock to his causes and cheer him on. All the court is awash with his opinions, and his opinions are espoused and ever requested. He curries favor with important people, and they are always inspired by him somehow. It is said that trials are decided by him, and not the Evil King he often supports.
Alternate: Aura of Patheticness/Meekness. At other times, Often Neutral G. shape-shifts into a simple court jester or fool when he is bored, and people are convinced he actually is one. This has become the symbol of his reign, as he often states “I am ever the fool” and chuckles softly to himself. HE can be seen at court, influencing decisions.
Psionics? It is speculated that Neutral G. Might be a low to mid level homebrew psionic in addition to a high level wizard. He delves deep into people’s minds and controls their intuition by inspiring them. They speculate that he can charm people to aid in his causes.
Illusion: Copy-Cat or Abberation: Several copies of Neutral G. have been created, to do menial tasks on his behalf. They look, act and talk like the real thing, and communicate and are commanded by him telepathically. If one is attacked, all become alerted. As such, nobody knows where the real Neutral G. is, and whether or not they’re talking to him, or a copy of himself. He spends all his time, time-walking the cosmos or multiverse or visiting possible alternate futures, whilst his copies potentially rule the cosmos, or so it is whispered.
