#((headcanon she's at least 15% irish since her dad's most likely from Ireland))

👁️👁️

Soooo this is Samson 👉👈

Half Sun Elf

35 years old

He/him

Lawful/Neutral Good

Grew up in a small village called Elmwood which I’m headcanoning as fantasy Ireland so I’m justified in giving Sam and his dad Irish accents lmao

He’s a doctor (or at least wants to be but too poor for med school), learned everything he knows about practical medicine from his mom (sun elf) and learned how to care for patients by taking care of his chronically ill dad (human)

His dad died when he was 7 and his mom took her own life when he was 11, he was supposed to go live with his aunt and uncle in Calimport but they sucked so he stowed away on a ship when he was 12, became a part of the crew, and then left when he was 15 and they docked in Waterdeep

He was homeless in Waterdeep for a while until my other tav Odette (duergar monk she/her) took him in and basically adopted him as her little brother. Years later when Sam is 30 he finds Wren (my human sorcerer tav they/them) beat up in an alley and takes them to the flat for treatment. They also have no place to call their own so, with a lot of pleading and puppy eyes from Sam, Odette agrees to let them stay

5 years later they all get snatched up by the Nautiloid

Here’s just a bit better description of his appearance since character creator only does so much

He’s a 6’4” beanpole, tall and lanky as hell

He has decent upper body strength from working on a ship and in a bakery most of his life but a pretty slim lower body

Absolutely covered in freckles

Has curly hair that he likes keeping trimmed short in the back cuz of hair on neck sensory issues

His right eye (your left) is a rich brown color while the left eye (your right) is a gold hazel color (you can kinda see if you zoom in on some of the pics)

He always wears glasses my guys blind as a bat

He has a scar on the lower left side of his abdomen and back from where he got ran through with a rapier in a pirate attack while he was sailing

And here’s just some more fun facts

He canonically romances Gale and is monogamous but I’m planning to make OOC stuff of him myself so go crazy go stupid aaahhh

The only thing I won’t do OOC for him is hetero stuff cuz if I had to label his sexuality it would be demisexual homoromantic and I’d feel weird having him be with someone who isn’t a man or masculine nonbinary

He’s a Verse / Switch but usually prefers topping

He’s circumcised (I made his parents both retired clerics just to justify it lmao)

Will enthusiastically demonstrate all the knots and rigging skills he acquired from his sailing days if his partner is up for it *wink wink*

Gives the best aftercare (he is a doctor after all)

He cares a lot about others, usually more than himself, which makes it hard for him to see when he’s being taken advantage of

Can be very perceptive in other situations though (knew Nettie was up to something when she grabbed a plant he recognized as dangerous, didn’t drink Jaheira’s drink cuz he could smell the herbs)

He’s ambidextrous and can sometimes lock in on a task and be found illustrating a surgical exposure with one hand while writing a description with the other

He doesn’t drink alcohol (doesn’t like the taste or how it makes him feel plus has bad memories associated with it) but he does smoke a tobacco pipe when he’s stressed

Apologies if this got long I’ve been obsessed with this OC of mine since before I even got the game lol he means so much to me ❤️

I am planning on writing a Gale x Rolan x Samson fic soon that’s gonna be post Lorroakan defeat and include some hurt/comfort, sappy confessions, and then Rolan getting sandwiched between Gale and Samson as he receives the most tender love and care that probably makes him cry… if you’d be interested in reading something like that I can tag you when it’s done 👀

It might take a little why for me to get around to it cuz my chronic illness is still acting up and I’m still recovering from being in the hospital and having to go back to work so apologies on that 🫶

Also love Rackal what a beefcake

I wanna draw some spice because I got a good long weekend ahead and need some silly things to draw between bigger projects. I also really wanna practice more spicy stuffs.

Some quick facts about my Tav for your consideration:

Rackal Orro:

-52 years old

- Captured on the Nautiloid alongside his twin sister.

-Half Drow (human mom, drow father. Mom was a Barbarian, dad a former cleric turned simple shopkeep. All the height/muscle comes from Mom.)

- former fighter turned paladin (Oath of Devotion). Smashes his Oath while saving the tieflings, specifically one grumpy one in particular (honestly, good riddance; it was getting in the way of getting shit done)

- Former Flaming Fist turned mercenary/adventurer prior to events of BG3; been out of the Fists for 5 years

- Burn scars from failed Fist mission 10 years ago, wherein he lost his longterm lover

- Romantic life has been meh since; a couple of relationships, none lasting more than a couple months. Ends up in slow burn with Rolan and falls HARD.

- Chaotic Good

- Service Dom/Top

Persona: Comes off a bit stoic/too serious at the start of the adventure/until the Grove party (though, to be fair, he’s just trying to keep his sister alive and is constantly assessing an increasingly disastrous situation, realizing fairly quickly that there is more going on than the tadpoles. Also, it doesn’t help that his dead lover is haunting his dreams telling him to eat even more tadpoles.). After a breakdown, mellows out, but still maintains a pretty serious attitude. Rather impulsive, especially in situations he perceives as a threat. Loyal, wary, does not forgive easily. Scratch is one of the few things keeping him sane.

- Volo Lobotomy Status: signed right the fuck up after downing a quarter bottle of whiskey. It was perfect timing; the moment Volo suggested it, Rackal had experienced:

Surprise vampire in camp; now his sister is a bloodbag.

Lae’zel trying to kill him.

Shadowheart and Lae’zel trying to kill each other.

Lae’zel fucking his sister, which he could’ve ignored if it DIDN’T WAKE UP THE CAMP

Dead lover jumpscare

All within 48 hours.

He was genuinely thinking “ FUCK IT TAKE ME OUT.”
