@ everyone who is upset about characters being morally flawed. do you not understand what drives the narrative
#like fuck dude can you stop shitting on gale for being arrogant that is literally the trait he has to temper in his character arc#and astarion is meant to be bitter. it is a huge shift for him to prioritize 7000 lives and be a hero where no one was to him#halsin is so afraid of anyone else ever being hurt like he was that he will protect them to his detriment#also some characters are just bad and its still okay to like them. they're fictional. and also it gives them necessary complexity#anyway its about FLAVOR#bg3#astarion#gale of waterdeep#halsin

Not sure if I've asked this already .
But could you do a request with Halsin x Female Drow Tav . Or Zevlor X Female Drow Tav . Or Zevlor X Halsin X Female Drow Tav Which ever pair you see this fits better .
maybe tav is insecure & alittle stand offish & very afraid to any romantic relationship because of how people view drow ? Shes liked the men and stolen glances every so often and made sure that if they needed anything thay they have it . She gets hurt but hides it at the tiefling party until either one ( or both if that makes it easier ) sees her off to herself at her own tent ( which she's pitched away from everyone else's) . Getting bandages and healing potions signaling she is hurt but is going to try to heal her wounds herself . (She's a Rouge)
I understand completely if this is too much to ask .
(Thank you so much for the request!! I hope this fits what you were looking for and you enjoy reading 馃А
I went with Halsin x Tav, as I haven't written anything for him yet :3 and yes, I am aware that healing spells don't neccessarily require undressing first, but I just went with it for the sake of the story )
I've had worse. (Halsin x Drow Tav)
If you heard 'I never expected help from one of your kind.' again today you would probably jump in that persons face and claw their eyes out. Not seriously but metaphorically.
You were standing at your camp and the tieflings and Halsin had joined your camp for tonight. Of course you were glad to see them happy and enjoying the night, but you couldn't let your friends do the talking for you as you usually did.
Being aware of the judgement people held for drow you aren't surprised by their reaction, but being kind wasn't so easy, when the injury on your leg made you feel worse every second.
You are aware you could just let Halsin take a look at it and it would probably be done in a few moments, knowing he is quite skilled with healing. Yet your own mind got in the way of that idea.
You had been insecure about being a drow. People were not fond of your kind and you couldn't even be mad about it. Many drow did unspeakable things and it's no wonder to you while people despised them.
You had talked to most people in camp and you seriously had to clean your wound soon. Stuffing a healing potion in your bag, thinking no one saw you, you planned on retreating to your tent, which was away from the other ones.
A small wince escaped you as you took a step and you deeply hoped the others were to focused on their conversations to notice.
But Halsin did notice. He had been stealing just as many glances at you, than you been at him. He won't let you be in pain, so the second he sees you wince and grab healing potions he already knew it.
When you had managed to get to your tent without another misplaces step you sat down immediately, leaning back for a second to take a breath while your eyes closed.
"Let me see your injury.", you heard Halsin's voice and you nearly jumped, not expecting anyone here.
Your eyes were on him instantly as he kneeled down next to you.
"It's nothing, no worries.", you said, still not giving in even though the pain made you already feel dizzy.
"I can see the pain on your face even with you trying to hide it. Let me help you, just like you helped me out of that goblin camp."
He was right and you knew that. Still you were hesitant, especially with the wound on your leg meaning you'd have to undress in front of him.
But as much as you wanted to keep arguing that you were fine, you already knew he wouldn't just leave.
You sighed and started removing your pants, your face heating up just knowing his eyes were on you.
When his eyes were on your wound they widened.
"You really planned to tend to this alone?", he said shocked as his hand ghosted on your leg, healing spells soothing your pain.
"I've had worse. And not many are willing to help my kind."
You avoided your eyes, trying to keep your mind off of the feeling of his fingertips on your thigh.
When your wound closed you felt his hand rest on your thigh were your injury had been.
"Next time you are injured please come to me immediately.", he said making you look at him, worry visible on his face. "Promise it, please."
His eyes locking with yours and you couldn't help feeling small under his gaze. Not just that he himself was huge, but the intensity of his gaze was even adding to it.
"Okay.. I promise.", you said quietly and his hand on your thigh moved, slowly caressing your skin.
You leaned forward, closer to him, your hand finding his cheek in an attempt to pull him closer. His hand was on yours, leaning his face into your palm only to pull your hand away from his face a moment later.
You suddenly felt cold, fearing rejection.
"Don't look at me like that. It is not that I don't want you, I just want to have all of my mind on you and for that I need to lift the shadow curse first."
Your eyes were wide, not expecting him to be so honest and you felt warmth slowly spreading through your body again. A feeling you hadn't felt in a while.
"I'll go back, you should get some rest.", he said, leaning closer to kiss your forehead.
He stood up, moving away from you and walking back to camp, but not without looking back at you for a moment.

New OC
Okay, so now that I mostly know what I'm doing in bg3, I've switched out my character build and I'm more happy with this mostly just because this version of my Tav looks more like me. I ended up deleting my previous OCs just because I literally haven't used those builds in forever so I'll probably replace my profile pic and my user name.
Guys, I apologize for the janky pictures I'm about to show, but keep in mind I sent these to my bestie and failed to take screenshots in-game and save them. But anyways...
This is Zephyr
Yeah, not exactly proud of my choices of words.
The first picture was when I spent like three hours in character creation just messing around with the idea of a Druid Tav that had gotten comfortable defaulting to panther in Wildshape. The piercings are different because the first one was back before bg3 had mods that ran through the game so the first would had a Nexus mod and I just decided not to mess too much with mods now (I should tho).
I also made a Picrew of him as well, it's obviously not exact but it's as close as I'll ever get considering my hands have been cursed to have terrible drawings. The name of the this format is Dungeon Elf Dress Up and it's created by Ravenstone.3 if anyone wants to use it as well.
So! What's Zephyr like?
Zephyr, like I mentioned, is a Half-Elf Noble Druid most comfortably as a panther in Wildshape. He's an assertive but kind half-elf who isn't afraid to back down from a fight if it's required, he's a firm believer of making things right.
His past by his standards are dull, he was born and raised by druids and stay within that same circle until he was taken by the Nautiloid ship. He lived a fairly sheltered and protected life up until that point, which is why he preferred whileshapping during battle.
He's a bit quiet, but he's very observant. Zephyr will note where he saw boars in their adventures at night before the vampire hunts, Zephyr will stay up all night helping Lae'zel understand as mush of Fear没n as she's willing to take, Zephyr will pocket any magical items and later any interesting books for Gale, Zephyr will personally deliver wine to Shadowheart, Zephyr will let Karlach cuddle him as much as she needs, Zephyr will collect fine chunks of wood for Halsin to whittle, Zephyr will make time for Minthara to cool off from the sun during their adventures.
The only person that Zephyr ever extends himself to though, is Wyll Ravengard.
Zephyr's interest in Wyll had always been there but it turned into something else after Mizora forces horns on his head and makes his body look like one of a tiefling, tail included. (I have the Wyll Devil mod!!!) Zephyr began to keep his eyes on Wyll, both in a manner of making sure his horns didn't hurt him and because his new form was almost hypnotizing.
Initially, Zephyr thought lowly of Wyll. He thought Wyll was the type of "hero" that did good things for a price or for the attention. However, in the few days before they found Karlach, Wyll quickly proved to Zephyr that he was a genuinely good man and that he was coined as a hero because he was true to his word. Zephyr then started to like Wyll, having similar view points with him.
Then everything with Mizora started happening, and Zephyr made sure to find time in the night to leave little reminders to Wyll that he's not alone and if he ever needs anything, Zephyr's tent wasn't too far away.
Obviously everything that happens when you romance Wyll happens with Zephyr. However, despite Wyll being the one to initiate a lot of things in the beginning, it's Zephyr that keeps it going. Wyll thought he would easily sweep Zephyr off his feet with the almost fairytale like approach, but it ended up being Zephyr that was Wyll's knight in shinning armor.
After the events of the game, Zephyr actually keeps in contact with everyone afterwards. Zephyr will sometimes stay up at night and wait to see if Astarion shows up, Astarion knows where Zephyr and Wyll live and have been reminded that he's welcome to visit any time. Zephyr will pay Shadowheart visits and will even seek her out if him or Wyll need medical help. Zephyr sends letters to those that don't live in the city, such as Gale, Lae'zel, Halsin, and Minthara. He likes checking up on the people that played a large role in his life.
Even though Zephyr doesn't have to work a job, he still wants to. He prefers to be active in the community as the husband of Wyll, who later becomes the Duke. Wyll insists Zephyr not work, so Zephyr helps small vendors instead. He has to talk to vendor shops anyway to keep food in the house so sometimes he'll give them a little extra gold, it always works and it's something fairly subtle that he can do.
Wyll always wanted kids, he didn't care who his spouse would be but he always wanted kids. Zephyr felt indifferent about it, he didn't have it as a requirement but he wouldn't say no to having them. Wyll and Zephyr end up adopting roughly five kids, all different races to add to it. And that's just counting the ones that they went through the adoption process with, most of their kids' friends consider them their parents as well. Their first kid was a tiefling girl, the second was a drow boy, the third was a halfling boy, the fourth was an elf girl, and the fifth was a githyanki girl.
Although it's sad to admit, Wyll passes away first as he's still technically a human. Zephyr never re-married, he didn't even indulge in romantic relationships after Wyll's passing. He focused on his kids and the friends that remained as Gale would have passed by now as well, the rest of the companions giving Zephyr their condolences and love. By the time Wyll passed, all of their kids had grown up and moved out, leaving Zephyr alone in the house. After Wyll died, Astarion saw how it affected Zephyr and decided to live with Zephyr.
Zephyr always made sure to visit Wyll's grave on special days. He visited on Wyll's birthday, he visited on their anniversary, he visited on the holidays, and he always left roses. Astarion would occasionally join Zephyr on days where Zephyr planned on visiting after the sun set, Astarion providing the comfort Zephyr showed him years ago.
Zephyr was also fairly old by the time Wyll died, so he knew it was only a matter of time before he left as well. It wasn't longer than four months that Zephyr finally passed as well, Astarion found Zephyr dead in his sleep. The clerics who prepared Zephyr for his funeral choked it down to dying of a broken heart as nothing was wrong with Zephyr and he didn't seem in any distress when he passed.
I couldn't find any good character sheets I liked so I'm just gonna give a run down of what I actually put into my character so, here's what Zephyr's stats are beginning of the game.
