Voradras for @steamclouds

Your honor, I am obsessed with him! Thanks for letting me draw him :) Happy Birthday again!

Also if you're not following @steamclouds go do it because her art is great <3

[titan-wolfdog]

tell me about your ocs 👀

ALRIGHT BEIBI, LET'S DO THIS

Some of my OCs, in no particular order:

Sunset Walker: Pink tabaxi ranger belonging to my first DnD campaign. I made her short and almost housecat sized (she's around 80 cms tall) as a joke, but she quickly grew on me and thankfully, she survived! Currently married to a high elf cleric known as Garnelle, she spends her day protecting her home and sailing the seas in different ships for work, often spending weeks at sea fishing and hunting. Close friend with her adventure partners who took her in after she tried to take Voradras, back when she was a bounty hunter, now she always makes sure her friends are safe when she's not sailing or with her wife.

Belladonna, a changeling sorceress of my current Pathfinder campaign, she grew up in a farmers town with her mother and father taking care of her, but as changeling often suffer, the Calling changed her life. Awakened her powers and left her hometown to find her Hag Mother (and kill her! Maybe?). Charming, a bit naive and with a LOT of self-image issues because hey, turns out she's the spawn of a creature of the night! Fun times, indeed. Also she may or may not still be in love with her ex-fiancé.

Lunaris (TW sexual abuse, emotional abuse mentions): My Bloodborne character and easily my favorite one out of all the Soulsborne OCs I've made. She's mute, very sex-positive and considerably fucked up for dismissing her own boundaries for the longest time. She ends up emotionally and physically harmed from this experience, but she does find someone who loves her later on in her story, even if it all ends in bittersweet tragedy.

There are many, many more. Lizray, Faeris and Athaleyah which are from Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3 and Dark Souls 1, respectively. Kai, Belladonna's ex; Joseph, Lunaris' life partner, and all the characters belonging to my novel which I'm currently writing as a personal, private project!

Local drow absolutely delighted by the weird furred creatures that roam the surface

Cue an "Everyone Approves" joke

Voradras Adravo - Arcane Trickster Rogue

He's born and raised in the Underdark, in Menzoberranzan as second son of a noble House, so he spends the first nearly 50 years of his life in this lightless place. And for most of his life, his goal is to leave that place, to see the sun. To feel the wind on his face. And after he achieves it he can finally leave Menzo in his past and find a new home for himself. Its a reminder that things are going to be alright.

Tagging @titan-wolfdog, @goromimii , @dagoth-menthol , @oflorelei @ervona and @wineredsea, have fun :)

What Song?

So, a little game - what song encapsulates your Tav/Durge? Post a picture of them, their name and class and a link to the song that represents them with the reason why.

Ayressa Aedihle - Bardlock (College of Lore/The Arch Fey)

This song was a find from a few years ago, but it’s become Ayressa’s song because it’s what I imagine her voice to sound like. Haunting vocals echo through this song and while its lyrics aren’t hopeful, it does speak of a sort of eternal love.

I suppose it’s more appropriate for any iteration of Ayressa who loses Gale - either to the Orb or Sneaky!God syndrome but I still think that it has a place with Ayressa getting a happy ending.

Your turn.

Tell me all you've ever known, and when you believe there's no more, tell me again. Let me know you like you know the universe.

my arcane trickster tav Voradras and Gale, sharing a moment of magic

[steamclouds]

Had a lot of fun thinking about these questions :)

It depends! Voradras excels at navigating tunnels/caves because of his time spent patrolling the tunnels around Menzoberranzan, but out in the open wild he's still relatively lost. He doesn't really know how to read surface-world maps correctly so he mostly relies on asking people and finding clues himself

He really loves a good glass of wine, but won't shy away from cheaper ales as well. And he's very much a tavern drinker, preferably while sitting around a table with his friends, while they share stories is something he likes a lot.

He learns names very quickly and they usually stick around in his brain forever!

Injustice. When Lae'zel ordered the Tiefling to bow in the Emerald Grove he nearly exploded and defended him (that nearly resulted in a fight between Voradras and Lae'zel, if Gale hadn't gone between them). Also whenever he gets reduced to his heritage or gets called "brave" for walking the surface without hiding. He wants to be seen for his actions and not his race.

He has a very soft and quiet voice, but a very full and loud hyena-like laugh where you just can't help but to laugh along. In the same vein whenever he gets nervous his drowic accent starts to get a lot more noticeable and he slips up the word order in common

Tav Tuesdays: Quirky Questions

Feel free to share as an Ask Game, or reblog with your answers! All OCs, Tavs and Durges welcome!

How reliable is your Tav's sense of direction? Do they rely on maps, ask for directions, or get hopelessly lost?

If your Tav drinks alcohol, what would be their beverage of choice? Are they a tavern drinker or a grand ball attendee kind of person?

How quickly does your Tav learn names? Do they use nicknames to help remember (or cover up that they've forgotten)? Or is every person's name forever lodged in their memory after a single meeting?

What makes your Tav incandescently angry? What is the one thing somebody could say or do to truly make your Tav see red?

What is one character quirk that your Tav's companions would recognise and adore in them? Does your Tav know about this habit, and how do they feel about it?

Fresh new refsheet for Voradras together with a new look, he's all ready for future campaigns now <3
