20 TAV/OC QUESTIONS

I saw saw @galesdevoteewife's post about her Tav & decided I wanted to do it too :) I'm tagging everyone who wants to do this & pls tag me if you do, I love seeing people's Tavs! <3

Senna, my scrunkly half wood elf ranger/druid/favoured of mielikki blorbo who was quite literally raised by wolves :) <3

I. what do they smell like at their freshest? (and/or after a tenday. your choice)

She generally smells like wolf fur, fresh earth, herbs and Felsul flower oil when she can make or buy it (Felsul are common in the Cloakwood where she grew up but she can't always find them while on the road).

II. what would their blood taste like to vampires?

Crisp, a little sweet, and a little tart, like an apple.

III. how would they kiss their LI?

Sen doesn't do anything by halves; she kisses passionately, fiercely, with wild abandon. She doesn't hold anything back and gives all of herself when she loves someone.

IV. how do they sleep with their LI (what position, does one steal the blankets, is one too hot/cold, etc)?

She loves being warm and cosy and cuddling. Without Gale she always sleeps snuggled up with her wolf, Fey, but when she sleeps with Gale it's with her face nuzzled into the crook of his shoulder, his arms wrapped around her and their legs tangled together, or they switch between being the big spoon or little spoon depending on the night/what they feel like.

And Fey is still included of course! If she's sleeping facing Gale, her wolf sleeps at her back. If she's sleeping with her back against Gale, she's cuddling Fey and her face is snuggled into her fur <3

V. what does their tent area look like? where do they prefer to pitch their tent (next to water, covered on three sides, etc)?

Her tent is a simple muted green, made to blend in with the forest. Inside she has a raggedy patchwork blanket, a bedroll, an old velvet pillow for Fey, a small wooden box of needle and thread for patching up her clothes, some ink pots, quills and a stack of journals. Outside she has a few small plant pots where she grows herbs and tea leaves and whatever weed she smokes in her dad's old pipe lol

VI. if they had a set of dnd dice, what would they look like?

These Feywild dice I found on the nexus (they're what I use in game)

VII. do they collect anything (gems, bottles, keys, etc)?

She collects random things that catch her eye like rocks, gems and feathers, as well as herbs, and she's also very sentimental so if anyone gives her anything, she keeps it (like the story Mirkon wrote her after she saved him, for example). When she gets into a relationship with Gale she starts collecting recipes to cook with him, plus all the poetry he writes for her, as well as poetry she comes across that she thinks he'll like (she doesn't write poetry herself).

VIII. if either, are they part of the astarion/gale book club (magic & literature) or the wyll/shadowheart book club (trashy romance novels)?

She's part of the Astarion/Gale book club. She loves books on flora and fauna, and she's curating her own florilegium with descriptions and illustrations of all the herbs, plants, flowers and animals she comes across on her travels.

IX. if they had to be put in a “get along shirt” with a companion, who would it be?

Oh it'd be Lae'zel for sure. They're both very headstrong and confident and think their way is the right way, so in the beginning they butt heads and challenge each other a lot. Each grows to respect the other for their determination and strength over time, and they end up forming a strong bond because of it.

Woe be upon ye who tries to shove them into that shirt though, you'll end up on the wrong end of a Gith sword AND stuck with a hide full of arrows.

X. do they prefer speak with dead or speak with animals?

She only uses speak with animals, Gale uses speak with dead.

XI. what are their thoughts on clowns?

She's never seen one until the Circus of the Last Days, and she's not at all interested in them/doesn't really get it. She just does one of her little head tilts and looks at them like... hmm...what odd people...and then gets distracted by the dryad, who she absolutely moons over.

XII. their companions are gossiping about them behind their back! who is it and what are they saying?

It's probably Astarion and Shadowheart, and they're probably either complaining about how much of an annoyingly cheery, energetic morning person she is, or mocking her obvious lovesickness over Gale.

XIII. what makes them laugh? what does their laugh sound like?

Wolf antics, Gale's complaints whenever they have to sneak, Gale's comments while on the battlefield, Gale in general (their senses of humour are well aligned), Astarion's histrionics, Astarion and Shadowheart's snarky conversations, Karlach's jokes, Wyll's utter intolerance for poorly performed music, Lae'zel's mispronunciation of common words.

She laughs heartily, warmly, and without restraint - pretty much the way she does everything.

XIV. do they have any inside jokes among their companions?

She's not much of a "hey wanna hear this joke" kind of person, but she undoubtedly has things that are uniquely funny to her and her companions based on the experiences they had together, as you do when you spend a lot of time / go through a lot with people. Like, "Hey, remember that time..."

XV. what’s the description of their camp clothes in the inventory menu?

Her dress: a lovely dress made of a soft, well-worn green cloth, with flowers stitched into the bodice and an intricate woven belt around the waist (it doesn't have a description so I wrote this one).

Her boots: made of intertwining branches that wrap around the foot like nature's embrace.

XVI. what’s the description of their underwear in the inventory menu?

Again it doesn't have a description, but I imagine it'd say something like "Plain, simple cotton undergarments".

XVII. how do they celebrate their birthday?

She doesn't know when it is, so she celebrates the day her dad adopted her instead, which was Ches 3. She spends the day gathering berries and baking a pie with them, as that's what her dad used to do for her every year.

XVIII. what modern day tv show would they binge over a weekend? do they get their LI to watch with them?

She probably wouldn't watch TV much, but I think she'd enjoy nature documentaries, and she'd get Gale to watch with her and then blab random facts at him the whole time.

XIX. do you have a playlist for your tav? if so, what’s the title + description?

I'm in the middle of working on one, the title of and first song on it is Raised by Wolves by The Interrupters, and sums Senna up perfectly: My teeth got sharper, my skin got tough So I forgive you for your giving up For your giving up It doesn't matter, my life was shattered And my heart's got holes You left a child out in the wild And I was raised by wolves I was raised by wolves, ah-ooh I was raised by wolves, ah-ooh

Yeah, when you left and said goodbye Under the moonlight, we had to learn to stay alive In the wild

XX. if you were to try pickpocketing them, what would they be carrying?

In her pockets she just carries some coins and hair ties, and in her backpack she carries her current leatherbound journal, a pot of ink, a couple quills, a folded piece of parchment that has been read many times (it's her favourite poem Gale wrote for her), maps, some healing potions, a satchel of herbs and other alchemy ingredients, trap disarming tools, travel rations (including a wedge of cheese with a big bite taken out of it), a waterskin, and a mess kit.

Primarchs as D&D Characters by a DM

Because I have 0 original thoughts in my mind, I’m hopping on this bandwagon. Inspired to do so based on these two posts. Not going to have much explanation on each choice due to the length of the post, and will be focusing on classes and races because this is a long enough post.

I. Lion El’Jonson - Monster Slayer Ranger. Takes the optional class features; Favored Foe, Deft Explorer, Primal Awareness, and the Dueling fighting style. As for race, I could see him playing a number of things; variant human, tiefling, potentially tabaxi or fallen aasimar.

III. Fulgrim - Dex-based Battlemaster Fighter with the Dueling fighting style or Great Weapon Fighting. Could multi into Bard for expertise, probably wouldn’t go farther than Jack of all Trades. Some sort of fey-associated race, potentially a type of eladrin, or even aasimar. Could also see him playing an aarockra. May even like playing the Yuan-ti later on, because I’m Not Very Clever. 

IV. Perturabo - Artillerist or Armorer Artificer. Leaning more towards Armorer since it allows one to have your armor become more versatile (retracting and whatnot on a BA, the Guardian armor abilities, etc.), however either could most likely be argued. Either plays warforged or goliath, and has made a homebrew stone giant playable race. 

V. Jaghatai Khan - Dex-based Beast Master Ranger. Duelist or Great Weapon Fighting fighting style. Takes the Mounted Combatant feat. Also takes the optional class features, however he keeps Primeval Awareness. Potential multiclass into Fighter for Brutal Criticals. Plays either a fey-aligned race or variant human. Potentially hawk-flavored aaracockra. 

VI. Leman Russ - Path of the Totem Warrior (wolf) or Path of the Beast Barbarian. Goes against the Intelligence is a Dump Stat barbar trope, has an 11 to Int and an 8 to Cha. Plays a shifter (if not going Beast Barbarian), dwarf, or goliath. 

VII. Rogal Dorn - Artillerist Artificer. Forgoes spellcasting. May also play a Battle Master or Champion Fighter with the Defense fighting style. Main races are goliath, warforged, or potentially longtooth shifters. Sometimes variant human.

VIII. Konrad Curze - Assassin or Phantom Rogue. Expertise in Intimidation and Investigation or Stealth. Could maybe multi into barbar later on with a reflavored Ancestral Guardians if he goes Phantom Rogue. Would be too late for it to be much use, but could still happen. Plays kenku, fallen aasimar, or potentially tabaxi. Maybe leans into the edgy rogue trope and plays tiefling. 

IX. Sanguinius - Oath of Glory Paladin. Takes Great Weapon Fighting, doesn’t have an optimized Charisma (has a 14 Cha for a 20 Str), but his Oath helps him overcome some of the challenges that can be associated with this later on. Plus he can just smite. Plays flavored protector aasimar, aarockra, or even firbolgs. 

X. Ferrus Manus - Battle Smith or Artilerist Artificer. Or Forge Cleric, though I can’t see him as much of a spellcaster. Plus Battle Smith gives him extra attack. Unsure about the Steel Defender though. Plays dwarf, minotaur, or warforged. 

XII. Angron - Path of the Totem Warrior (bear) or Path of the Berserker Barbarian. Leaning more bear barbar due to resistance to everything except psychic damage, and Angron DID hold up an entire Titan’s foot while it was actively trying to crush him, among many other feats. Plus the whole psyker - Nails interaction. Plays dwarf, minotaur, leonin, and potentially goliath.

XIII. Roboute Guilliman - Oath of the Crown Paladin. Leans a bit into the Lawful Good Babysitter pally trope. Defensive, Duelist, or Protection fighting style. Also does not play with Completely Optimized Charisma, but still has a 16 in it while he has an 18 to strength. Plays human, Gith (Githzerai over Githyanki), or maybe loxodon if he’s feeling adventurous.

XIV. Mortarion - Circle of Spores Druid. May multi into Death Cleric for more necrotic damage goodness. Traded a proficiency for proficiency in alchemist tools. This character is scarier than Konrad’s only because he knows how to flavor how he uses his Spores class features to make everyone at the table think ‘what the fuck’. Plays veldaken, kenku, gnome, or the occasional genasi.

XV. Magnus the Red - Lore Mastery or Divination Wizard or Draconic Ancestry Sorcerer, though he’ll more often play the wizard for more spells. Potential multi for one level into a martial class so he can have his glaive and make it his spellcasting focus. Spell lists change often from day to day, sometimes tries to metagame in order to make sure he has the Right Spell. Any character he makes takes advantage of the Tasha’s lineages thing, and thus has the Telepath or Telekinetic feat. Plays kalashtar, kenku, firbolg, or goliaths. May also play a grung.

XVI. Horus Lupercal - Oath of Redemption Paladin, later changing to Oathbreaker. Optimizes Charisma over Strength, relies on spells like Zone of Truth and Hold Person over smites. Takes Intervention or Protection fighting styles. Multi’s into Bard for Jack of All Trades to get Persuasion and Deception expertise. Plays human, gnome, or longtooth shifter.

XVII. Lorgar Aurelian - Zeal Cleric, later multi into Divine Soul Sorcerer. Has high Wis and Cha, though does focus on strength later on (+2 in Str, +5 Wis and +3 Cha). Plays kalashtar for the persuasion advantage, or loxodon, human, aasimar, and potentially lizardfolk. 

XVIII. Vulkan - Drakewarden Ranger or Forge Cleric. Usually goes with Drakewarden. Defensive fighting style. Homebrewed a nice warhammer for himself. Plays dragonborn or lizardfolk, though did once try a kobold for a one-shot. 

XIX. Corvus Corax - Assassin Rogue or Gloom Stalker Ranger, with a later multi into Twilight Cleric. Expertise in Stealth and Investigation. Duelist or Defensive fighting style. Homebrewed some better weapons for himself at a later level. Plays kenku, human, goblin, halfling, kalashtar, protector aasimar, or aarakokra. 

XX. Alpharius/Omegon - Inquisitor Rogue. Optimized to stay out of combat, only fighting as an absolute necessity. Expertise in Stealth and Sleight of Hand. Plays yuan-ti, lizardfolk, dragonborn, changeling, or shifter. 

I can go more into the specific archetypes I see them playing if people are interested. But here you go, my takes on everyone.
