Hi! I've been looking for a list of questions for my character and I hope you don't mind me answering them!

My Tav is known as Kenji! He's a storm sorcerer, his race is white dragonborn, and his pronouns are he/him. My headcanon for where he's from, as well as his family, is Tymanther, in its capital, the citadel city of Djerad Thymar. Kenji is not a dark urge, and it was an easy decision, considering I bought bg3 solely to check out the character customization!

Since I don't know how to work mods yet, I pictured Kenji with gold jewelry that would dangle from his horns and tail.

Kenji despises the tadpole, and refuses to use any semblance of illithid powers. It makes his skin crawl to take part in anything that involves the tadpole.

Based on my main playthrough, Kenji recruited (in order) Shadowheart, Gale, Astarion, Lae'zel, Wyll, Karlach, and Halsin. Out of them all, Kenji gets along with Wyll, Karlach, Halsin, and Gale the most. During Act 1, he tolerates everyone else.

Kenji's first kill was long before the events of BG3. Kenji has killed before, so it doesn't bother him. He doesn't enjoy it, though.

Of course! After arguing with Kahga, Kenji had a bad feeling there was going to be a much bigger fight than the grove anticipated, so he went straight to the goblin camp, poisoned a good majority of them, then snuck in and got Halsin out and defeated the three leaders. (Sorry Minthara)

Kenji did enter the grove, purely to see if Nettie could help him with the tadpole. He ended up staying longer to help the tieflings.

If I had to say, Nettie would be Kenji's favorite druid, second to Halsin. Even though she tried to poison him, he understood to a degree and didn't hold it against her.

Kenji's favorite tiefling(s) are the children, including Mirkon, Mattis, Sylfie, Mol, Arabella, and Meli. He finds them amusing, and he has a soft spot for kids.

Considering he cleared the camp as quickly as he could, Kenji does not like goblins, and did not like the place in the slightest.

At this point in the story, Lae'zel is the only Githyanki Kenji likes.

Kenji actually doesn't know about the Zhentarim. The people guarding the Iron Flask died during the battle with the gnolls, and he found the Iron Flask in a chest.

While in the Underdark, Kenji found a respect for Blurg, the hobgoblin member of the Society of Brillance.

(I'm skipping this one because I genuinely can't think of anyone)

Kenji got, in my opinion, the best outcome for the grove. After speaking to Zevlor and Kahga, he headed to the goblin camp, thinking Halsin could smooth things over if he were returned. The goblins were killed, Halsin scolded Kahga and stopped the Rite of Thorns, and the tieflings were saved!

After being told Halsin might be able to help him, Kenji did save Halsin.

Withers...confuses Kenji. He normally keeps his distance.

After meeting Wyll in the grove (and dealing with the whole goblin thing), Kenji helped the warlock look for Karlach. After she was found, Kenji could sense there was something more to the story, so he stopped Wyll from killing her. When he met Mizora, he was protective of both Wyll and Karlach, telling the demon to leave their camp.

The night of the party, Kenji spent it with Wyll, trying to comfort him about his new demonic appearance. They flirted a bit, then shared a kiss, with the promise of a dance later on.

Since Kenji does not know of the Zhentarim, he unfortunately did not encounter the Artist.

The strange artifact showed up on Kenji's person when he told Shadowheart to take a break at camp. He was naturally curious, but he didn't ask about it, knowing everyone has their secrets.

In the beginning, Kenji did allow Glut to travel with him, but after Glut revealed his true intentions, Kenji made quick work of him.

Neutral and suspicious. Kenji feels a comforting feeling when the dream visitor shows themself, and that makes him nervous. His older brother is the only person he's comfortable with.

Kenji did drink a potion Omeluum made while in the Underdark, but I'm sure it didn't work out, so he got the Ring of Shielding instead.

Kenji did not take the mountain pass, considering Halsin strongly suggested the Underdark.

My favorite enemy was Auntie Ethel. The concept of a hag and their twisted magic always interested me. for Kenji's best fight, I would say it's the one with Nere in the Grymforge. Kenji was seething at the sight of the drow's mistreatment of the gnomes, and he was merciless. It was extremely satisfying to defeat him.

The most used character in Kenji's party ties between Gale and Wyll.

Scratch was recruited the moment he was found in the forest.

The owlbear, known as Owlbert, was rescued from the Goblin Camp and recruited around the time the group went into the Underdark.

Kenji did take care of strays from time to time in his childhood, but other than that, Scratch and Owlbert are his first pets.

Kenji remains quiet about his phobias, but his main one is autophobia, the fear of being alone or abandoned.

In the beginning, Volo amused Kenji. Then the eye surgery incident happened. Now, he doesn't know where Volo went, and he's annoyed.

Kenji has not allied himself with the cult, but he will lie and deceive other characters into thinking he's a member to get through situations without fighting.

Kenji was able to get rid of the cave in and save the gnomes, and he did kill Nere for the Sovereign Spaw.

In a way, Kenji regrets not being able to help Mayrina, the girl who was being held captive by Auntie Ethel, more than he did. He broke the wand that would revive her dead husband, and he still doesn't know if he did the right thing or not.

After finding the Forge, Kenji made the Adamantine Shield.

After finding the Necromancy of Thay, Kenji, much to the disapproval of almost everyone in camp, read it. It closed on him, so he's trying to find a way to open it back up.

Kenji did save Barcus from the Windmill, and he saved him again from the Grymforge. So far, Kenji's smug about how much he's saving the gnome.

Kenji is incredibly suspicious of Raphael, and has refused him at every turn.

Kenji, for the most part, either didn't dream or didn't remember his dreams from before the events of BG3.

Kenji was actually traveling for a brief period, temporarily resting at Baldur's Gate, when he got snatched by the Mind Flayers.

Kenji had not been to the Underdark before the adventure, but he was very intrigued by such a place when he arrived.

I can't think of anything 😅

My question from the list is #23. What is your character's opinion on the dream visitor?

About the Houses

Hufflepuff is tea and sweaters. Hufflepuff is punching someone in the face because they need to shut up, calm down, or get the sense knocked into them. Hufflepuff is spring, seeing winter melting away and basking in the sunlight. Hufflepuff is singing loudly to Journey and Queen. Hufflepuff is having the messiest room and yet knowing exactly where to find everything. Hufflepuff is “there’s no such thing as too much chocolate”. Hufflepuff is one too many glasses of champagne so the world feels like sunshine. Hufflepuff is honestly not giving a damn what anyone else thinks. Hufflepuff is prank wars that spiral out of control. Hufflepuff is getting shit done while everyone else argues. Hufflepuff is refusing to fit into the mold, which results in hufflepunks. Hufflepuff is staying up till three am to talk someone out of depression, out of suicide, out of something stupid, convincing them how amazing and how loved they are. Hufflepuff is loyalty, is true friendship, not the plastic My Little Pony stuff but the true friendship. Hufflepuff is the first ones to get Netflix running at Hogwarts, despite magical interference. Hufflepuff is loneliness, is the intense desire for friendship. Hufflepuff is having to deal with derision and scorn. Hufflepuff is loyalty placed in the wrong ideal, loving the wrong person. Hufflepuff is drowning in emotions that bring panic attacks.

Ravenclaw is winter peace and blizzards. Ravenclaw is the beauty of white snow against evergreens and a baby blue sky. Ravenclaw is the sharpness and cutting edge of a cold breeze, the glint of a metal blade. Ravenclaw is the silence of a library, lost completely in a world of ink and screens and words. Ravenclaw is a glass of wine and an old friend. Ravenclaw is martial arts and street smart. Ravenclaw is always asking why. Ravenclaw is pages filled with writing and doodles and diagrams. Ravenclaw is telling dirty jokes in code so no one can tell why you’re laughing so hard you can’t breathe, and the teacher can’t read the notes you were passing in class. Ravenclaw is failing a class because you couldn’t be bothered to read or do homework, it was too boring and you had other things. Ravenclaw is challenging the status-quo and saying “there’s always another option”. Ravenclaw is citrus and a stash of junk food that you always seem to eat right away. Ravenclaw is learning a new language because you want to. Ravenclaw is an innocent face that can hide the dirtiest mind. Ravenclaw is a pile of books that you’ll read - you will, you promise - one day. Ravenclaw is looking up and saying “hell, when did it get to be three thirty AM”, and you have classes in five hours but decide that staying up another half hour won’t hurt. Ravenclaw is love that happens slowly, like creeping ivy, till one day you wake up and realize it’s ensnared you tightly and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Ravenclaw is addiction, to coffee, to drugs, to sweets, anything to get that clarity and that swooping feeling. Ravenclaw is coldness, is locking away resentment to fester, is “revenge is a dish best served cold”. Ravenclaw is shutting up and never ever asking for help, because you’re smart enough, capable enough to handle it. Because you have to.

Gryffindor is summer, cloudless blue skies and endless green fields. Gryffindor is adrenaline highs and truth or dare. Gryffindor is bright red lipstick and cologne that makes heads turn. Gryffindor is parties that go all night. Gryffindor is fireworks exploding in the sky. Gryffindor is standing up to anyone, friend, foe, or stranger, to tell them they’re wrong. Gryffindor is throwing your friend a beer and jumping on their lap to take a nap. Gryffindor is the love of horror games. Gryffindor is steak and burgers, Gryffindor is spicy curry. Gryffindor is taking the risk, making the leap, no matter the odds. Gryffindor is raising your hand in class. Gryffindor is passionate love, whether it be romantic, platonic, or otherwise, that sees no difference in a hand picked wildflower and a diamond necklace as long as it makes the recipient happy. Gryffindor is defending, even if it’s defending someone you hate against someone you love, because Gryffindor stands up for what is right. Gryffindor is recklessness, the uncontrollable emotion, the carelessness with laws and rules. Gryffindor is choosing the ‘morally correct’ option even if it means more are hurt. Gryffindor is solving things brashly, physically, and only making everything worse.

Slytherin is fall evenings, the air crisp but not cold, the setting sun revealing autumn beauty before darkening to show a million billion stars in the indigo inky sky. Slytherin is when the air smells like cloves and cinnamon and smoke from the crackling bonfire. Slytherin is apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Slytherin is a glass of golden scotch. Slytherin is finding comfort in jeans and a leather jacket, dying your hair and tattoos that are like artwork. Slytherin is pride in your heritage, in what it took to get you here. Slytherin is the warm blossom of accomplishment in your chest. Slytherin is tall boots and long scarves. Slytherin is the person you’d trust with anything and everything, the one you love above all else, the one you’d kill for. Slytherin is not being afraid of the dark, but remembering that night heals. Slytherin is musky forests and the steady soothing rainfall. Slytherin is sarcasm and wit. Slytherin is determination in the face of fear. Slytherin is talking your way out of situations to keep those you love safe. Slytherin is the love that shows itself quietly from day to day, with quiet brushes and unsaid favors, but that rears up in fury to defend if necessary. Slytherin is the dark side, the morally ambiguous, the race to the finish line for whatever it is you desire, shoving others aside because you have to. Slytherin is locking yourself in a shadowed corner and curling up, because it’s too much… it’s too much… and wiping the tears and standing anyway, head held high because you can’t stop now, and you can’t show weakness.

Hufflepuffs are not weak. Ravenclaws are not heartless. Gryffindors are not arrogant. Slytherins are not evil.

Break Stereotypes. Be Open-Minded.
