#tavqotd #dalamusstrighym So, BG3 Dal is an AU of TES Dal. And TES Dal used to have a "faceclaim" of Ian Somerhalder when I made him 13ish years ago. Ian's birthday is December 8th. To keep it easy to remember, I made it the 5th. And I translate that into whatever the AU's equivalent is :)

bsky.app/profile/kast... #tavqotd Some of my ocs have set birthdays and anniversaries, but a lot of them don’t. If I decide to add a birthday in their backstory they have one, if not it’s probably not something important to RP, so I don’t bother. Anniversaries are set if its a relationship pregame

#tavqotd Usually I just pick random dates. Birthdays don't typically matter to me. For those 12 however, I had to look out a bit. At first they had random birthdays but then I decided that every month had to be filled. And the pairs had to be 6 months apart.

#TavQOTD 1/2 Generally, I go by the first time I did anything with them. When was the first time I wrote anything about them? When did I start playing with them? There's exceptions of course. Boris was a rough estimation because I didn't have access to his first...anything.

#TavQOTD A mix of research and bias. I determine the approximate year for anniversaries, and the date is whatever I feel like. For example, Rae's birthday (4/4) is my favourite number two times. Asha's birthday (6/9) is... me being silly. The date of Rae and Astarion getting together is my birthday.

#tavqotd #AvariceOC #BG3 #Tav #Durge Avarice's birthday is determined by the first time I drew him! He was created March 24th (in game calendar: Ches 24 (Claw of Sunsets). I haven't given much thought to an actual date for his anniversary, but I would reference the first romantic snapshot's

#TavQOTD Determine dates I looked at the Faerûn calender and aimed for a day that would probably be a little cold, maybe raining - and landed on Highharvesttide for Darius' birthday - which, if I understand, is roughly the equivalent of October 1'st. Making him a libra. #Durge

#tavqotd birthdays/anniversaries I've always loved that Uktar- November in the Forgotten Realms calendar- is called The Rotting. And Mal's energy from the start has always been very Scorpio codes so an early November birthdate suited him best. Hence his birthday is 6 Uktar

#TavQOTD I determined the years of Xal's birth based on the beginning of NWN1 for several reasons. And months: Original birth - 1146 DR, Uktar "The Rotting" 13 Ice, cold. I wanted to connect it with him somehow. He was like ice and rot at that time. Rebirth - 1368 DR, Mirtul 25 The dice decided so.

#tavqotd Tiefling!Snowhawk does not have a set date, and she doesn't really care. It doesn't exactly matter to her, and hasn't for 60 years (honestly more). Vel will tell her at some point, but for now, she just knows she was born sometime in late winter and she's somewhere around 94. Probably.

Candy doesn't know her birthday. I don't know her birthday. You need to carbon date her or something lmao. None of us even know if her age is accurate. So, she celebrates the turn of the year as her birthday with a little sweet treat and pretends the fireworks are for her!

#tavqotd a little cliché, but her birthday is the day i created her so 2nd of february! (whatever that translated to in dnd/bg3's calender), i like that she's a winter baby, i think it suits her. 🌨️ #oc:erin · #gildedlore

#TavQOTD Anniversary. Alex was born on February 14th. Valentine's day, but also the middle of February (and my anniversary as well ;;). Aelius was born on January 21st, the first day and cycle of the sign of Aquarius. Both Winter and Summer lads, depending on the Hemisphere. 💙💜

#TavQOTD I usually go for what RL astrology sign I want them to be, but for #Prophetverse I did something different. Due to the prophecy being written as it is, the twins were born on Rhyestertide. #ElegysOC doesn't quite know her birthday so she celebrates her 'free of Bhaal' day instead.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know shit about the Faerun/dnd calendar 🤣 I need to actually look into it at some point I kinda use that as part of Orya’s story. Since her family stopped celebrating her birthday after her mom died, she forgot exactly when it is and just knows it’s at the start of spring

#tavqotd Zyela's birthday was the first time she appeared in RP. June 6th. It's a little off since Toril's calendar is shaped a little different but I figure we'll just use Kythorn 6th there as well 🥰 Art by the lovely @paeonygalaxy.bsky.social 🩷

#TavQOTD Siraan's birthday would have been the day I created her, but there was no way to find out exactly when that was. So instead I made it the day I completed her original artwork, the 15th of August (I don't know shit about the DnD calendar)

All my main OCs have the same birthday as me, but lore wise for Sentry, it's because when he was fifteen and little Ilya first came to the Ilmater temple and found out Sentry didn't have a birthday, he said "that's okay, big brother, you can share mine." And in Jaina's case it's technically when

#TavQOTD: How do you determine your OCs' birthdays? Fin is the summer solstice! A perfect time for the wildfire of the family - Lonán is the winter solstice, being the opposite yet the same as Fin. Faolán, Fin and Alex's youngest is the Autumn Equinox and their oldest Pyrrhus is the Spring Equinox!

#tavqotd I haven’t figured out Courage and Astarion’s wedding anniversary yet, but I know it’s a few years post brain. I try to make characters who are different from me, but I like to give them parts of myself. I’m also into the zodiac. Courage screamed Libra, so I gave her my birthday.

#tavQOTD DETERMINATION OF BIRTHDAY Well, Veliss was born on may 24th, that's the day I first played them in a one shot game. So I simply translated to faerun month

#TavQOTD: How do you determine your OCs' birthdays and/or anniversaries? Just kind of feel it in my balls, man. Whatever date pops into my mind whenever I think of the oc For example, Cadaver’s birthday is august 3rd for no reason other than it was the first month I though of while looking at him

Not sure if this one's been done but: #TavQOTD: How do you determine your OCs' birthdays and/or anniversaries?

#TavQOTD Orius fighting instincts almost kicked in. He had to remember that it was a *tree* nullifying his magic, not Absolutists using the blooms to torture him. On the surface, he only seemed mildly annoyed. In actuality, he was tense. Scared. Reliving that terrible day.

#TavQOTD Boris sleeps outside, wanting to ensure everyone's as comfortable as possible on such a limited space. It wouldn't be his first time sleeping in the rain. Sabre Wild Shapes into an Owlbear and plops right on top of Bo. He's not letting his man get wet!

#TavQOTD Sabre's hands are a bit rough but no callouses (yet). Boris' hands are warm and quite soft, much to his surprise. He thought they would be rough at this point with all the weapons he's wielded and whatnot. "A benefit of being a Tiefling perhaps," he says.

#TavQOTD 1/? "A song...about me? You need not spend your time on such a thing." - Boris Boris doesn't think he deserves a song and even if he did, he has a husband and daughter who will always deserve it more. They can be just standing there and he would say that, if she can, sing about how...

#TavQOTD The man, the myth, the drunken anteater himself: Sabre! He may not be fond of that last title but he can't deny it either. Fortunately, his alcohol tolerance is very high so he doesn't live up to it *that* well.

#TavQOTD 1/2 Sabre is playing with Nere's head. Making bad jokes, berating Nere, and resisting to kick the head like a ball so the Sovereign can have it. Oh, and Rose is encouraging him. Boris hasn't made stopping him a priority because he didn't think it'd take so long to get to the Sovereign...

#TavQOTD Tiefling/Cambion/maybe even Qunari Boris is Storm 5 while Human Boris is Warm Tone 7. Sabre is Purple 3. Human design *might* use Cool 3 or 4. Or one of the Blush ones...undecided at this time.

#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris' tail is dark towards the end but is otherwise similar to its in-game counterpart...and it's bigger than him, being 7ft long. My favorite part about his tail isn't how it looks, but how it functions. When it isn't revealing Boris' emotions, it acts as a third hand.

#TavQOTD 1/2 Well, there's an AU where Boris is at least half demon so...maybe werewolf. He'd be known as "Drop Wolf"...too many people were under a tree he just so happened to be in. It's not intentional. Yes, he feels terrible every time and hates his title. Sabre would also be a werewolf.

#TavQOTD 1/? Modern Boris is always in slacks and polos, though he has dresses for special occasions and outings where Rose is also wearing a dress. Dad's gotta match his daughter! While I'm still figuring out his occupation, his hobbies still include making small toys and knitting. Best is when...

#TavQOTD 1/2 "One day, a fine Druid laid eyes on an even finer Bard..." This happened twice in Sabre's life, but Boris, at the moment, has very little Bard investment...so this ain't about him. But Gregoir was a College of Sword Bard, just like the rest of the Jeff bloodline.

#TavQOTD Sabre wouldn't mind seeing how things go with Sorn. They've a little bit of history, but they've never dated. Meanwhile, Rugan, Rolan, and that Dragonborn outside of Lady Jannath's estate are just a few men he wouldn't mind riding to the hells and back. Once, twice, thrice maybe...

#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris is a Beast Master Ranger with a slight dip into Bard while Sabre is a Circle of the Moon Druid. They use their abilities to aid each other in quite a few things. For example, Boris can track and take down prey while Sabre uses his Wild Shapes to retrieve the kill quickly.

I'm super excited to be contributing to this awesome project a second time! There's a great bunch of creators involved! I hope everyone gives it a look! #coloursofthegatevol2

#TavQOTD 1/2 Sabre is up close and personal most of the time, mauling foes in Wild Shape or swinging whatever is closer at them. Sometimes it's his quarterstaff, sometimes it's a sword. He also tends to use his ice spells, like Ice Knife and Ice Storm, as tribute to his grandmother. She died...

#TavQOTD I present a 2-in-1: Virtue, the War Domain Cleric/Oath of Devotion Paladin! When he isn't smiting evil into oblivion or tending to the less fortunate, he's with beloved boyfriend/eventual husband: Smith. Though the Absolute took their wives, at least they have each other.

#TavQOTD 1/2 No tattoos (yet), but if they did: Boris would have something to represent Rose and Sabre. A polar bear resting on a bunch of roses or an eagle soaring with roses in its talons. Sabre would have deep blue Forget-me-nots and sunflowers intertwining with each other, probably as a...

#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris respects dragons, just like his mentors encouraged him to. It was a dragon that put one of said mentors, Sofia, on the path to being a Drake Warden. Boris met this dragon when he was a baby and while he doesn't remember the encounter, the dragon fondly remembers the tiny...

#TavQOTD #NSFW Sabre helped Boris realize he has a sound kink and he's oh-so proud of him. "I knew ya had one in there somewhere!" Boris isn't really sure what do with this information but he's happy that Sabre's happy.

#TavQOTD 1/? This is nothing for Boris. His body language gave away his feelings for Sabre before and that wasn't even intentional! He'll be fine...save for Astarion relentlessly teasing him for being mute. Meanwhile, this would be a nightmare for Sabre. He's quite literally a man of words!

#TavQOTD 1/? Boris thought his happy ever after would just be him and Rose living together, an inseparable dad-daughter duo living comfortably after a long, hard life. It didn't matter if he was a grandpa or not, his little flower would've been happy and safe. Obviously, things didn't turn out...

#TavQOTD 1/? Sabre never accidentally gets drunk...but he has accidentally killed people via drinking contest. They don't realize how much he can drink until it's too late, and even then, they don't get that far! Boris, on the other hand, has gotten accidentally drunk...thanks to Sabre.

#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris was very...very...very sad. His daughter was in Avernus with her girlfriend and the Blade of Frontiers. He hoped they'd celebrate together, Rose loved big parties after all. Instead, he spent all morning--days--burying his sadness and helping with the repair of Baldur's Gate.

#TavQOTD Raze is a Circle of the Moon Druid/Wildheart Barbarian. He has control in *activating* his rage, not ending it. He has to let it all out, similar to when Karlach defeated the Paladins. When it's over, he's a little out of breath but like a dog playing fetch, he's ready to do it again!

#TavQOTD Sabre wants to kiss all the handsome men in his life. Boris, however, will likely get the first kiss, simply because he tends to be the closest. Boris is too busy giving everyone who'll let him warm hugs (maybe even forehead kisses) but once he's done, Sabre gets all of his attention.

#TavQOTD 1/2 Sabre's excited to add more chapters to the story that is his life, with Boris and other cute men by his side. Boris hopes that Orius and Sabre will become good friends this year, ignoring the fact that if he didn't look like a kicked puppy whenever they fought, they wouldn't try...

Sometimes you get a shower thought, a brainrot, or a brainworm, and the words Must Out. This was such a case. archiveofourown.org/works/76798541 Shadowheart takes pity on Darius on the first night after the nautiloid, when he tries to wash his hair. #BG3Fanfic #BG3Fic #SFWFanFic
