Zhephyrie 🖤

Headcanon Asks

Thank you for the prompt!

�� - quirks/hobbies headcanon

We're gonna go deep Zhephyrie is cheeky and quippy. This boy is so unserious. He loves to joke and will always have a sarcastic retort. He's boisterous and charismatic, and never shies away from a crowd. He grew up charming his way out of trouble in the streets. While he puts up a very warm and inviting facade, he tends to keep his personal life very private.

He will often push aside his own feelings to be a solid shoulder to cry on for his friends. He's supportive to a fault. Opening up about his needs is a foreign concept; as a result, he has lost out on a lot of opportunities for love. To compensate, he's quick to indulge in casual affairs. After all, isn't that what a bard is supposed to enjoy?

Enough probing! His more superficial quirk is being super fidgety. He's always playing with loose threads on his clothes, spinning jewellery, grooming his friends' hair or clothing, or chewing on straw or herbs.

Of course, music and poetry are his main hobbies. He has picked up a knack for a few instruments, but his favourite remains the lyre. He also loves stargazing and tracks the constellations in a little journal. He's learned a few party tricks such as impressions and card tricks, and is the first to bust out a few Lindy Hop moves on the dance floor.

☼ - appearance headcanon

My lil Half-drow himbo. Big height, big muscles, big heart, bigger empty space between his ears. He has red hair cropped just past his chin that he wears pushed back - because Astarion told him it looks sexy pushed back. He also rocks silly dapper little Friendly Mutton Chops.

A large scar runs across his face and over one eye, which has altered the appearance of his eyeball. The story of how he got it changes with every tavern regalement for flavour, but really he just mouthed off to the wrong tiefling sorcerer as a saucy pup.

He decorates his body with tattoos of his adventures. His most noticeable one is the green beholder on his neck, but he also has his back and part of his leg covered. He's also got a variety of body and facial piercings. He loves to play "guess which ones they are" with flirty strangers.

Zheph digs the pirate aesthetic so out of armour, you can find him lounging with his lyre in a loose drawstring linen top tucked into fitted trousers. He usually rocks a few sentimental rings and a talisman. He loves smudgy eyeliner. If Klaus Hargreeves and Jack Sparrow had a baby, it would be Zhephyrie.

Thank you @saltierlibra for tagging me in this adorable "Writer vs OCs" prompt by @orlesianapologist 🖤

I made them with the picrew image generator, but I would love to revisit this challenge once they're all drawn!

It me.

Long-time tabletop player but a baby PC gamer, so here are my BG3 babies and a special 5e favourite. I've come to notice that I indeed love a good drow.

Zhephyrie - aka Noodle - is my first video game OC. He's a half-drow bard that spent most of his campaign accidentally Durge-running and facing the consequences of his own stupidity.

Finchvaer is my half-wood elf monk and also my current Dark Urge run. So far he's done much less evil than any of Zheph's shenanigans. Probably because René (@saltierlibra) keeps him in check.

Nicanderim (Nim) is my human ranger with a special affinity for pink, fluffy friends, and Karlach. This vanilla wafer is just here to have a good time.

Véls'gryff is my drow sorcerer. It's been intriguing to see all the dialogue options that open up with drows in BG3, and the sorcerer/wizard sass between him and Gale is iconic.

Last but not least, my very first OC ever, Haelra. She's my 5e drow paladin of Sêlune. Rivalling Zheph levels of stupidity, she tried to take down a halfdragon as a level 1 foetus because he was rude to her friends. Defending their honour got her a basketball-sized hole punched through her chest, but she's fine now.

This gorgeous piece of artwork was made by the lovely and talented JetRex Design (@jetrexdesign on IG) and adorns my favourite coffee mug!

I'm low on mutuals so I'm also tagging @vexatious-anamnesis in hopes that he wishes to take up the tag from @saltierlibra
