Hello, do you like infodumps on other people’s Tavs? THEN BOY HOWDY HAVE I GOT A POST FOR YOU.
(Mostly I wanted to get this out of the way so maybe I can word vomit some more fun stuff for her here.)
NOTE: D&D is a game about imagination so I’m a little loose with Dragonborn “clan” stuff, and my characterization of Kory’s druidic philosophies don’t track with “lore”/canon ones. If you don’t enjoy that I apologize, but I’m not changing anything unless the change appeals to me.
Now that that’s out of the way…
KORYDASS FAYENCRUX (aka KORY)
OG!Korydass
1. Originally a character from a home game in a homebrew setting where Dragonborn were extraordinarily rare and Dragons basically old myths/almost old gods. Kory’s father was a full dragon named Fayencrux, she hadn’t seen or spoken to him in… a long, long time, not due to any strain on their relationship—they just had very long lifespans and Fayencrux was… somewhere else. Probably.
2. OG!Kory was a Guardian of a place called the Thornlore Woods (which she referred to as her Homewood). She would go into long periods of hibernation, and wake up when the wood was potentially threatened by world events. She’d been awake for long enough to meet the other PCs but wasn’t sure why she had been woken up.
3. A serene, thoughtful, and gentle soul, absolutely turning into a fangirl over exciting nature things. Easily adjusted to keep her cool during wild situations. A calm attitude kept her grounded!
Korydass in Faerún (BG3)
1. Korydass’s Clan was formed when her Grandsire, the Bronze Dragon Fayencrux, married a human woman (unnamed right now, just referred to as Grandam). (The clan uses Grandsire and Grandam, but you have to imagine a number of “greats” before that).
2. For reasons I will get into at another time, Korydass was named and raised by her Grandsire, and later left his company. As a young Dragonborn who had never really had dealings with “Society��� and honestly was in the middle of nowhere on her own for the first time, she sort of just plopped down in what she now calls her “Homewood” and started learning Druidic magic in earnest.
3. While she outwardly appears serene like OG!Kory, Korydass in Faerún is an absolute fucking mess around people internally. She is keenly aware that she learned her manners from books and a dragon who has not left his sea cave for centuries. She appears quiet because she takes an extraordinary amount of time to craft her responses, keeping them short because, again, she doesn’t really know how to act around other humanoids. However, she is still an absolute fangirl over neat nature things, and for sure attempted to adopt every animal presented to her in BG3.
4. Her face is hard to read, but her tail gives her away all the time. She’s picked up far too many mannerisms (and odd habits) from the animals she surrounded herself with. You’re far better off learning her whole body language than trying to get a gauge on her feelings via her expression.
GENERAL STATS:
Bronze Dragonborn
Green eyes
7 Feet Tall
Generally lean body, but not overly muscular
No notable scars/piercings/tattoos
She has a lot of particular patina patterns that make her easily identifiable… I’ll put up some art that features it soon.
