#TavQOTD #VirtueOC #SmithOC 1/2 Though Smith isn't a Paladin, he attends the event alongside Virtue for a few reasons: 1) To remind Virtue to use his inside voice. 2) Make sure he doesn't smite evil Paladins; no need to start avoidable fights 3) Virtue wants to get Smith away from the forge, out...

#TavQOTD #SabreOC, slight #NSFW 1/2 Honestly, a lot of Sabre's stories. "Oh! There was a time when I was datin' this king and he cheated on me. Imagine my surprise when his dad found out and told me how he felt about me. Ye can guess what I did afterwards an' what I told his son."

#TavQOTD #SabreOC #BorisOC 1/2 Sabre is simple. Hearing something like, "we saw you from across the room and we like your vibes" is enough to get him flirting back and wiggle his eyebrows, eager to see where it all goes next. Boris is the complete opposite. Pick-up lines go over his head and...

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC Boris is very simple: 💜 Sabre on the other hand: 💙🦁, usually surrounded by quite a few 🍆 and 🍑. As Boris is still wrapping his head around emojis, he assumes the last two mean that Sabre's happy that he eats his fruits and veggies. ...Sabre's making a dictionary for him.

#TavQOTD #SabreOC #BorisOC 1/2 "The most chocolate-y thing on the menu with every chocolate item they have crammed into the cup! And whipped cream. Please. 👀" - Sabre "...please get Saer Eightlegs' favorite beverage. Our smaller, cuddly friends need refreshments, too." - Boris, who doesn't want...

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/2 "You can...pick me...up...." There's likely more to that line but Boris couldn't even say that part without being flustered. Meanwhile... "I'm not a vampire, but I can suck ya real good." - Sabre Sabre learned quickly not to say such things when Astarion's in...

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/? Boris doesn't know how to feel, but it's a combination of intrigued, overwhelmed, sad, and happy. His childhood is vastly different in some of AUs, when he meets Rose (he doesn't want to acknowledge the ones where he doesn't) is different, hells, there's some...

#TavQOTD #SabreOC 1/? Normally, I answer for Boris and Sabre in the same post/thread but this time, I felt like keeping them separate. Boris will be done in the future. Here's Warlock patron Sabre the Satyr, a silly little guy at first glance. But beneath that bright smile and contained...

#TavQOTD #SabreOC 1/? Sabre has a special bond with his polar bear Wild Shape. It was the first one his grandmother showed up and the first one he mastered from a very young age, before he could read. He won't admit it however...mainly because *he* doesn't even know he has a special bond with it.

#TavQOTD I thought about this for a while. Zyn would be known as the most ruthless Assassin in his Matron's charge. Though, they would have no idea they took a child of Bhaal. Zyn purposely stays, playing his part so that he could train more in the art of death. And when he finally got bored +

#tavqotd durge Mal The son of Bhaal, Chosen by Lolth. The story is much the same with one key difference: There was no one to survive his slaughter when Lolth Chose him, as Bhaal guided his hands.

Durge Orya is still a bard. She gets different makeup and a tattoo added, in addition to having red eyes. She still lost her mother when she was 12 but was taken to Bhaal’s temple by the cultists who killed her to raise her in Bhaal’s image. She’s not as flustered but still tries to be a kind soul

I cannot even imagine Arson as a kender Durge. 😧 It would be fun to try though... Irann would still be orphaned, but by her own hand, and both her and her younger sibling would have grown up in the temple of Bhaal. She would probably go the assassin route & would definitely have a new look.

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/2 Boris hails from somewhere deep in the High Forest region, but home is where ever Sabre is. His birthplace remains a place of pain and fear for him, long after his clan changes their ways. Sabre comes from somewhere in the Underdark. Where? Not even he knows.

#TavQOTD #NSFW #SabreOC 1/2 There's a funny story with Sabre. He somehow managed to grow a single pubic hair when he still worked in the brothel. To this day, how it came to be remains a mystery but he was overjoyed by this single hair strand. Then one day, a client plucked it off.

Oh geez, I tried making an AU where Hrith was a tav and he and Gortash met as kids, but it just ends tragically no matter how I write it.

#tavqotd Tried to do a durge run, he killed Alfira, things happened, and my brain turned into Ryldzyn. Ryldg is vengeful. He’d have killed his patron in this universe. Serving Bhaal, “Father”, gladly. Kept his hair long. He used people instead of being used. Prideful. Full fighter. #notmyryld

#tavqotd if I think about the sunshine boy Achaia probably would have been if he could have just been without Bhaal’s influence I’ll just cry. The biggest change would probably be him dying well before the events of BG3 because his long life is attributed to being a Bhaalspawn and half elf.

#TavQOTD #SabreOC #BorisOC CW: Mentions of cannibalism 1/? Presenting Sabretooth and Goris! Well, they don't actually go by those names but it stops their saves from getting lost amongst the other Boris and Sabre runs...they'll be referred to as such for this thread.

Tavara's story would be changed drastically. Her parents wouldn't have gotten under the control of Bhaal and would have loved her so much and actually raised her properly. She wouldn't have grown up abused and hated. She never would have been an assassin and daughter for a God 1/

#tavqotd If Lysander wasn't Durge, his story would be mostly the same. He and his mother would still be slaves, but her death would happen differently. She would die when the slave caravan they were in was attacked by creatures in the Underdark instead of her being killed by her Mistress (🧵 ‪

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC For Boris: A combination of Produce Flame and Hunter's Mark. "Hunter's Flame", Sabre calls it. For Sabre: Ice Knife and Ice Storm. Ice Knife if there's too few targets or his allies can't get clear, Ice Storm for hordes or giant foes!

#TavQOTD Tavs to Durges and vice-versa Well this was a fun little experiment...

#tavqotd turning non-durge into Durge Everett's lore would change that he wouldn't have lived multiple lives. He wouldn't remember that he has a Patron, who is going crazy trying to reestablish connection with him. #EverettOC

#TavQOTD #SabreOC 1/2 Both Sabre and Boris can bake but Sabre does it more often and is slightly better at it. Unless told otherwise, everything he bakes will be loaded with chocolate. Bonus: He bakes special cookies for Boris. He won't say the special ingredient out loud but Boris knows it...

#TavQOTD #TavToon The first few years of Toon's life would've been normal, except the people in her village actually had a reason to dislike her since she kept bringing home animal carcasses she hunted. She felt the urges pretty early on and thus got to Bhaal's temple soon after (1/2)

#TavQOTD warlock Patron If Everett was a patron to a warlock, he would be a rather easy one to get along with. As long as his warlock kept the flaky pastries and delicious treats coming, he'll continue giving them access to his power. Cats as well. + #EverettOC

#tavqotd DUrge > Tav Gilnor has a couple of verses where he's not a Dark Urge! In one, he's pretty much the same (sorcerer, same family etc) just without the white dragonborn being adopted when he was 13. He's milder. Gentler. But still fairly neutral in alignment and cool to strangers. This one-

#TavQOTD: What if your non-Durge(s) became Durge(s) and vice versa? How does their lore change? Not much would change. He’d still be a hard-hitting great weapons battle master but his self restraint and pragmatism will go right out the window.

2/2 but way less trauma and murder. He's writing a diary about the tadfools adventure, hating every second of it. archiveofourown.org/works/679291...

#TavQOTD Tav/Durge AU 1/2 Meet Serendipity—Seren to friends—Darius' alter ego if he hadn't been a Bhaalspawn. He'd be a storm sorcerer on a merchant ship, just about to dock in Baldur's Gate when the blasted nautiloid came through and picked him up. Very much the same as Darius on many fronts +

#Lucius have two warlock and they adore him. Because Lucius actually doesn't ask for anything. Ever. He just swoops in from time to time to check on them. 🧵 #TAVQOTD

#tavqotd Being a Shadow Sorcerer he'd grant Hexblade powers, but in order for his magic to manifest through you, you'd need to have/make a hole in your soul & bind the shape of it to his, at times you'll lose autonomy and share his impulses. He'd be honest about this and try to dissuade you. 1/2

#tavqotd warlock pact In their story, Mal and @venviipaar.bsky.social share a pact with each other. Their shared powers are made stronger by their love for and their belief in each other. Which is strong enough to force even Lolth to release her hold on Mal.

#TavQOTD #BorisOC Boris would try to be Gale's lawyer, somehow. "Mistakes occur frequently..." Cobbler didn't get the memo and knocks over Gale's books, fixes the pile, and starts over. Repeatedly. He doesn't even know why Gale's in trouble, he zoned out during the testimonies. Bo can only sigh.

A question I haven't seen in a while, inspired by a playthrough I just started: #TavQOTD: What if your non-Durge(s) became Durge(s) and vice versa? How does their lore change? Do they get a new look? Maybe even a new class? I want to know it all! 👀

(Hell yeah an excuse to whip out Cambion #Ophelia again!) Ophelia believes in equivalent exchange "Nothing worth having comes without sacrifice." She would let people come to her, let them decide what they wish to part with and grant them power on par with what is offer.

#TavQOTD Siraan as a patron would be fairly hands-off, rarely interfering unless the warlock calls on her for guidance, or just to let them know when they've done a good job. The only thing she expects in return for her powers is for the warlock to use them to help those in need.

#TavQOTD I could see #DominoOC becoming a patron at some point, if he turns old and powerful enough. He'd be a pretty chill patron (his own words), mostly asking his Warlocks to research whatever interests him. Buuuut, since he has ADHD, that changes by the hour. High maintenance patron, that one.

#TavQOTD #DurgeQOTD #KilraiOC does have Warlocks, the more he has, the happier he is. He doesn't ask much of them, other than the occasional assassination. They're more of an ego boost because my problem child is a narcissist.

#tavqotd Kazuya is a warlock patron. His innate ability is Spul Bound which gives him the deal making ability. He has it in all versions. Kazuya likes to play with his warlocks. He usually offers at first little power for a small favor in return. Once the deal is fulfilled, +

#TavQOTD: If your OC(s) was a Warlock patron (or currently is one), what would serving them be like? What do they ask for in return for great power? Bonus: How would/did your OC(s) get their powers?

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/? The weekend always starts with Boris thinking his front door is broken because he uses his work badge to get in. Sabre once watched him tap his badge against the doorknob for 10 minutes before letting him in, both because he was winding down from a photoshoot...

I got a tiny brainrot about Shadowheart helping Darius with it on new years eve: archiveofourown.org/works/76798541

#TavQOTD #SabreOC #BorisOC 1/2 For Sabre: Sending sweet things or alcohol to his inventory. Those items won't be available for a long rest anymore but you get to hear him giggle as he consumes them and it's a great way to get approval with him. "Ya know me so well!" For Boris: Embracing Myshka...

#TavQOTD #NSFW #SabreOC #BorisOC 1/2 The height difference between Boris and Sabre is 1ft 4in/~40cm. Sabre enjoys the view *immensely*. But is that Sabre's biggest height difference with a partner? No. That title is shared between a merman and a Dragonborn. Both were almost twice his size.

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/2 Most times, Boris is almost silent. All that tends to be heard is traces of his movement, like faint rustling as his tail weaves through branches and leaves. Despite this, he moves quickly enough to not be found right away. If he really has to, Sabre can be stealthy.

#GrandRevel #TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/2 "Vacation" and "Boris" have, for the longest time, never been used in the same sentence. Then Sabre came along. He has since learned that as long he's surrounded by loved ones, the vacation type is irrelevant. Sabre loves couples retreats and group...

#GrandRevel #TavQOTD #BorisOC 1/? Oh Boris. He takes on *everyone's* burdens no matter how much they may weigh him down but he considers himself a burden and thus, wouldn't even consider letting someone else hear even his minor issues until Sabre came along. Even then, Boris needed ample...

#TavQOTD #BorisOC #SabreOC 1/? Boris and Sabre are together in everything but: - Boris romanced Astarion in his first run and Halsin in his Durge run. Neither are canon or have AUs at this time. - In Mass Effect 2, he had a thing going on with Kelly. - In DA:I, he romanced Josephine.
