OC Interview Tag

(answer the questions for your OC as if your character were answering them!)

Thank you for the tag @squidgang! Hope you don't mind I do this for both my Durge (Kriivah) and my primary Tav (Whisper) - so this is gonna be long, haha.

I am not going to tag anybody, but if whoever is reading this want to do it, I encourage you to do it - it's good fun.

Kriivah

(Time-line wise, during Act 3 - still undecided on what more exactly they will do post-game canonically)

Are you named after anyone? "I do not know where my name stems from, nor do I know if it is truly my name. When I came to, confused and without my memories, it was the only name I could recall, and it... felt right."

When was the last time you cried? "I cannot recall."

Do you have kids? "No. I am not certain I wish to have any, either. To propogate life is an... Odd thought, rousing conflicting feelings in me. There is also the additional risk of my Father's influence reaching any child I spawn."

Do you use sarcasm a lot? "At times. In most cases, it is to make light of matters for the enjoyment of my companions."

What's the first thing you notice about people? "That they still draw breath. (chuckle) Aside from my instinctive disgust, I habitually do threat evaluations whenever I encounter anybody, clocking arms and armor as well as any signs of them being someone capable of using magic."

Scary stories or happy endings? "I would much perfer scary stories. If nothing else, I can get a good laugh out of them."

Any special talents? "I am uncertain as to what would qualify..."

Where were you born? "I was not born, technically speaking, having been spawned from my Father's self-spilled guts. That much, at least, I can recall as true."

Do you have any pets? "If we are speaking generally, there are three pets I share with my companions. Scratch, Us, and Nibbles - the owlbear cub. That being said, I am only the primary caretaker of Us."

What sort of sports do you play? "I do not typically partake in sports, though I have memories of playing a few, primarely team sports. I have since been informed that such sports are not typically played with corpses."

How tall are you? "Six feet and eight inches, or slightly above two hundred centimeters."

What was your favourite academic subject? "Medicine. Anatomy. I enjoy learning about what makes people tick, and I enjoy taking them apart. It has also become evident that my vivid interest in medical knowledge has an additional benefit in that it aids me in keeping my companions alive and in good health."

What is your dream job? "I am uncertain as to what occupation would appeal to my interests. With my limited knowledge, I opine I would be best suited to continue adventuring, or once more take up assassination work. I will consider it more in depth once all pressing concerns have been dealt with."

Whisper Honeyguide

(Timeline-wise, post-game)

Are you named after anyone? "Oh, of course I was. I was named after my grandmother!"*

When was the last time you cried? "Hm... Now that is an interesting question. I suppose it would be when I lost my eye! Rather difficult not to cry when in that much pain. Don't drink too much, you will make horrible decisions!"

Do you have kids? "No, I don't. I suppose if Shadowheart wants to adopt, we can do that, but that is still quite some time off, I suspect. We haven't really settled down, after all!"

Do you use sarcasm a lot? "Of course not! It tends to sour the conversation, in many cases, and I'd never want that!"**

What's the first thing you notice about people? "Typically, the eyes. They are the windows to the soul, you know! And it is far easier to read people if you watch their eyes."***

Scary stories or happy endings? "Scary stories! I like ghosts and ghouls and horrific tales, you could say I collect them. Of course, I like happy endings as well, but I get more catharsis from scary stories."****

Any special talents? "Oh, I don't know... Spinning tales, maybe? It is more of a practiced skill, though."*****

Where were you born? "At home!"******

Do you have any pets? "Shadowheart and I take care of Nibbles, our own very friendly armored owlbear! He is adorable, really."

What sort of sports do you play? "I have never been someone who likes sports. I'd rather play lanceboard, you know, or something more exciting, like truth or dare or two truths and one lie. Fun games where you learn more about each other!"

How tall are you? "Five seven, or one hundred seventy centimeters if you prefer that."

What was your favourite academic subject? "I have always had a preference for studying the arcane! Especially conjuration, if you would believe it, though it was not the arcane school I picked in the end."*******

What is your dream job? "I suppose I have always wanted to be a full-time scholar, devoting all my time to the study of magic."********

Lies told, and the truth

*They were not named after anybody, they took the name Whisper themself as a virtue name as a young child.

**They use sarcasm plenty when they are annoyed with someone. And sometimes when they are being playful.

***The eyes is the SECOND thing they notice, the first thing they make note of is whether or not the person they are speaking to is rich.

****They do not really like happy endings, they are neutral about those.

*****Not a full lie, but spinning tales is code for weaving lies (deception).

******They have no idea where they were born, they were left at an orphanage as a baby.

*******Their favorite subjects are necromancy, closely followed by illusion. Conjuration is interesting to them, but far from their favorite subject.

********Their dream job is what they are actually doing - conning people. They have never truly considered any other occupation.
