I really need to get a good screenshot of my new bg3 character, I love her so much. Patch 7 so far is excellent and this is the first time I've been playing with mods enabled. On Steam deck! It works like a charm. I got some of the new faces and new hair, and entirely cheated with the feats every level because yes please, I want feats and I want this to get as close to what LVL 20 might be like.

But Fern (enby she/they) , oh gods she's so cute.

Mephistopheles Tiefling (of course), with the noble background, and a draconic bloodline sorcerer. I chose blue dragon because I liked the way the scales showed off against her skin and her tattoos.

I've got like five or six different bg3 characters, but none I've really thought about their history before the game. Fern however, she's the child of a minor lord from Baldur's Gate, both her parents are sorcerers, but from different bloodlines, father is the draconic bloodline, mother is a storms sorcerer, and a good one. Father claims their draconic bloodline is that of brass to distance themselves from the chromatic dragons and it is more befitting to be from one of the metallic lines.

Thing is, her father's family has the title, but wasn't very good with money, her mother's family, while ennobled with a small title of their own, came up through the merchant ranks and Fern's maternal grandfather owns a large shipping company. Her mother was born at sea during a hurricane, a good omen for the family, and when she took a land born for a husband it was seen as a loss to the business.

They tried for years to have children, but the bloodlines didn't cross well, at least until Fern, so they were very small but were very happy in this early days. Unfortunately, Fern's father was just as terrible with money as his uncles and ended up owing a lot to some very shady people. He sought his way out of it and made a pact with Mephistopheles, thinking he could buy his way out of it in time. But that never happened, and the due date came and went and nothing went wrong, so he put it behind him and forgot about it.

Until Fern turned 17 and was about to enter Baldurian society and tragedy struck. First with an unknown illness, a fever that wouldn't go away, followed by chills so cold that they couldn't get warm. Clerics and other healers were called but nothing seemed to work, Fern would be fine for a few days, then sick, then fine again without rhyme or reason. Her skin took a deathly pallor, no amount of sun could return colour to their cheeks. You could see the veins tracing just under the skin.

Of course rumours spread, they never should have combined the lines, sickly children the lot of them, and now their only child and heir was dying, and if the rumours were true, possibly a vampire.

On the eve of Fern's 18th year, dressed in the gown commissioned for her presentation to society, Fern let out a scream as her skull cracked and the skin just under their hairline split, two wickedly sharp horns grew, the pallor of their skin shifted from sickly white to grey, to blue to purple, and fine blue scales dusted along her arms.

Fern could not see her face for all the blood, and lightning sparked from point to point of their horns. The nursemaid and their handmaiden had run off, leaving them alone in agony, writhing on the floor in front of the mirror, watching in cascading horror as the tiny human girl changed, even her hair went from blonde like her mother's, to blue like the rest of them.

The visage in the mirror changed, and a figure stepped from the mirror and picked them up and wiped the blood from their face.

Fern doesn't know what happened next, only that much later, they awoke in a bed on a ship, her mother at her side as they sailed to the islands where her mother's family lived. Her father was gone, and the strange man from the mirror was nowhere to be found, but she still remembers the gentle touch of his fingers on her brow, and the relief that followed as the pain eased.

It's been four years since that night, they were on their way back to Baldur's Gate to find out what happened that night and finally put it to rest. Unfortunately, an illithid had other plans, and now they have a tadpole in their brain.
