Most likely won’t be playing BG3 til the latter half of October, but I wanted to spare myself a good ten hours in the CC by coming up with a character now lol, so I went to picrew. Currently nameless (though I’m thinking something like Tula? Tava? Tavali?), most likely a tiefling. After devouring some YouTube videos discussing classes, I think she’s gonna be a College of Swords bard (with a touch of sorcery), who overcame her less-than-ideal lot in life by flame sword-dancing entertaining the masses with her magical, martial, and musical prowess as a member of what is more or less a traveling troupe/circus. Absolutely playing off the ‘devilish angel’ shtick, she’s a warm ray of sunshine with a hidden hell (and perhaps history) inside. I might even make her a Zariel Tiefling specifically to further play off the whole angel/devil dichotomy, given that character’s history.

also I keep doing the thing where I have an interaction. astarion disapproves. I sigh. I reload the save before the interaction. I kick him back to camp. I do the thing. I pick the lad back up.

sorry i have vampire the masquerade brain worms u can ignore this.
astarion is Obviously ventrue and as someone who grew up in a banite church i feel like xarrai should Also be ventrue but i feel like it would be insane to make them anything but toreador. but then i thought. maybe they are both ventrue trying to come off as toreador. absolutely the funniest shit on earth to imagine two different ventrue trying very hard to make everyone think they’re toreadors for two different reasons. LOL yep definitely here in the pursuit of beauty don’t mind me… :)

Hi!! I’m new so I’m not sure if there’s a character limit but could I get the baldurs gate 3 characters with a plus size gn reader?
(If there is a limit could I get Wyll, Karlach, and/or Astarion?)
Thank you!!
I added gale because i want that wizard SO BAD this is a super cute request just keep in mind that i haven't played a whole lot of baldur's gate- also there is no character limit but i think id cap it at like 7 for hcs. Maybe slight possible spoilers. Yall are so lucky i almost included karniss for funsies but held back my spider simping 
Cw : might have slightly suggestive bits but is sfw, gn reader, no pronouns, fluffy, mentions of past body shaming,

Wyll
He's so sweet- a real gentleman at heart
He loves to rest his head on your shoulder and wrap his arms rough your waist 
After the horns tho it makes it a bit harder so he settles for holding you and resting his head on your chest 
Kinda obsessed with your hands, always kisses the back of your hands or the inside of your wrist
Hes prone to stress, so when he’s feeling particularly stressed he gets kinda clingy- he will (wyll haha) never admit that he's being clingy tho
He hugs you, a deep sigh leaving his lips as he squeezes your sides and relaxes with exhale. 
Your soft and comforting and after all the things he's been through he is in desperate need of some comfort 
I think wyll enjoys being seen as more knightly, your knight in shining armor
That being said this man can and will defend your honor, people can be so cruel and he won't stand for it, he is absolutely going to defend you when people are talking shit because he will have none of it 
Wyll is a sweet man, he wants you to be comfortable and happy with him, so he does his best to reassure you about how he loves every bit of you and tries to ease your insecurities 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Karlach 
Hrmmmmgghghggdgg love her,,,love her so much hehehehe
She loves cuddles so much and is so touch starved fight me on this 
She sees you and gets a sappy smile because she is just so mushy 
I think out of all the companions she is definitely one of the top chubby person lovers
Handsy, she loves to hold and squish every part of you, the way your chubby arms wrap around her waist and torso while she rubs your back is heaven actually
I think she would love tummy kisses, she loves them even more if you get flustered because you are cute<3 she really adores how soft you are
She likes picking you up and she absolutely can and will at every opportunity that presents itself 
She is throwing hands if someone body shames you
Like she gets the most aghast expression of “how dare they” 
Normally people just turn tail and run but she is so down to throw hands 
Being insecure with karlach is very hard because she has no issue telling you how much she loves you, and she is very honest, her words really show threw her actions 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Astarion 
I feel like astarion is someone who understands insecurity on a deep level, there are many aspects of himself that make him insecure
You have been so warm to him, you love him so genuinely he wants to return the favor by also loving you so genuinely, size doesn't matter to this man 
Ignore that last part he loves feeding on you, so much to sink his teeth into ;) like eating something warm and comforting 
“Gorgeous as always” is a regular statement he makes whenever seeing you 
Loves to hold you before bed because he can just relax and feel himself melt into you.
Astarion is very fond of squishing your cheeks, if hes happy or mad at you your cheeks are getting squashed because this vampire has a bit of cuteness aggression 
King of talk shit get bit because he is kinda just looking for a reason to have a little murder as a treat
Like he hears someone body shame you and is like “can i pleaseeeeee stab them?just a little” 
He will find them 
He won't tolerate people adding to your self doubt because he thinks you are genuinely just the most beautiful creature and he WON >:3

Gale
I WANT THIS WIZARD SO BAD 
I'm so incredibly down bad for gale he's such a dork i love him 
He's awkward honestly, he'd like to be all suave but when it comes to physical affection he is quite awkward. 
Eventually he finds peace in just being able to hold you close, he particularly enjoys being able to hold you against his chest while he reads to you
I think he would enjoy teaching you about magic (assuming you aren't also a wizard) and if you are a wizard he still enjoys reading you books about magic 
He's a sucker for just being sweet and domestic with you
Big fan of your thighs and if you are sitting in his vicinity his hand is always resting on your thigh occasionally giving it a gentle squeeze to calm you both down 
Big fan of shoulder kisses when you both first wake up
I love sassy kinda mean gale when he talks to rude people so i love the idea of him just verbally destroying someone who talks sit about you 
Hes actually pretty good about ginning you reassurance for your insecurities
He doesn't have the best way with words sometimes but he is just so flabbergasted at your thoughts because he personally wants to fuse souls lmao

Personally I think a big thing affecting Wyll's development is that Larian listens to feedback a bit too uncritically. They see a bunch of people complaining that Wyll's storyline in the EA wasn't good enough (even tho we didn't have the full storyline yet??) or that he was too cruel/mean in his questline (as though other beloved characters weren't crueler than him but they get a pass for some suspicious reason), and Larian just blindly accepts that feedback without even questioning a little bit whether such criticism for Wyll might be influenced by something else.
this makes sense, especially since they also changed gale, minthara, & a!astarion in launch after fan feedback. it’s nice that they’re so receptive to critique because i think they truly salvaged gale’s character, but you’re right that they probably need to look at feedback with more nuance. i didn’t get to play in EA but like you said, i’m truly wondering how he could have been “meaner” than any of the other characters? depending on conditions, shadowheart, lae’zel, astarion, and even karlach can try to kill you in the first hour of gameplay. but wyll being grumpy? that’s the big issue we gotta patch out. by cutting all his content instead of rewriting him, obviously. /sigh

(Please read the whole post and maybe my thoughts will form into coherency)
Hopefully I don’t get flack for this and word this correctly:
But I love Wyll’s story, just not his character direction, if that makes sense? (I’m still setting up to romance him tho) he had SUCH good setup for being a really nuanced character among the cast that we have and I think that’s partly due to all of the content he got cut from his story
Can you imagine how much people would crawl over Wyll if he was mother gothel’d? If he totally leaned into Mizora after ten years of isolation? ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING SCORNED BY HIS FATHER?? Bro was 17(?) and impressionable as fuck after a traumatic experience
Also I understand Wyll’s like “my dad had every right to exile me! Mizora covered her tracks!” But you can understand why someone hurt you and be pissed off and doesn’t mean that you have no right to be upset. I’D be upset if my parent left me (a literal child in this situation) in charge of protecting a whole city, then shunned me after I made the only decision that would make sure I could fulfill my city and make them proud! Wyll’s dad literally turned his back on his own son just like that, little to no questions asked, and Wyll has no?? Resentment? AT ALL?? HUH
(Imagine, pray tell, Mizora telling a young, impressionable Wyll that his father must have never truly loved him if he was willing to get rid of him so easily? Wyll hoping that his father would one day forgive him only to lose hope and return to Mizora once more??? You’re telling me that wouldn’t make the lads and ladies swoon?! Especially after learning that Wyll was a total daddy’s boy??)
And the TAV/PC had to go through the slow burn of proving to Wyll that she’s the bitch she is and is only using him? Or push him further into his mindset that Mizora cares for him, even if she hurts him? And Mizora slowly growing more and more desperate to keep her claws in him if you start pulling him away? Until the final thing she does in act 3- it would be so much more powerful and less than a “GOTCHA!”
You don’t even have to make Wyll neutral or evil! He just thinks Mizora has his best interests at heart (when she obvi doesn’t to anyone but him, as if the case with abusive relationships) The first crack would obviously be Karlach, since even Wyll states that Mizora never sent him to hunt tiefling’s, and he literally would’ve killed Karlach if TAV/PC wasn’t there (or the tadpoles) and it would’ve been so heart breaking and interesting for him to be the goodest boy with such a bad person as his “bestie”, all because of the manipulation and abuse she puts him through to keep his expectations and even self esteem low, pushed further by turning him into a DEMON.
(Judging by his dialogue I genuinely wonder if Larian intended for Wyll to have an arc like this, because it would fit a lot better into the general theme of breaking abuse cycles that the game pushes so hard. Especially from the interaction you can have with him at the tiefling party when he *ahem* ISOLATES HIMSELF FROM OTHERS)
A change in how he reacts to his trauma and abuse would’ve set him more apart too, since pretty much everyone except for Shart and Lae’zel aren’t particularly big fans of their abusers (except Gale, but I wouldn’t say he totally embraced Mystra at the time we meet, and if you romance him he throws her to wall p fast). And his abuser isn’t religious at all, it’s more personal since Mizora is literally right in his ear, it’s much more personal ig?
It also would’ve really pushed his thematic parallel to Karlach who H A T ES the devil who forced her into servitude. Can u imagine if she met Wyll, and he’s like “yeah Mizora’s the ONLY ONE looking out for me! ☝️She helps me protect the sword coast! She’s my HOMIE!” She would be so angry and sad for him, because his desperation for connection drove him to connect with a BITCH of a devil
Mizora is just the cookie-cutter narcissist abuser, she isolates her victim and makes (Wyll) rely on only her. It’s honestly more confusing that Wyll isn’t more with her, that he rejects her so vehemently after a decade with essentially only her at his side. I legit don’t understand why Wyll and Mizora weren’t dialed up to 10+ like all the other companions and their abusers are
Anyway these are my sad, slightly disappointed thoughts on Wyll, I just wish he had a lot more content in general but also his own personal journey throughout the game, but maybe it will change when I romance him

What is Xarrai and Ieriyn's speech like? Do they have distinct accents? Or any other notable ways of speaking, like using particular phrases, slang, or terms of endearment?
Bonus question: What do their voices sound like?
i typed half of a answer for this earlier but the draft didn’t save LMAO let me try again
ieriyn is very much a prim proper noble boy early on. it’s just so ingrained in him to speak like a proper noble when addressing unfamiliar people that it’s just natural for him. his formality does slip from time to time (when he’s panicking or upset for example) but generally he’s pretty stuffy in his speech until like mid of act 1. he starts to loosen up after defending the grove, and by the time they get to the shadow-cursed lands he’s way more relaxed. this also coincides with him starting to be willing to tell jokes and get cheeky with people. :3 the first time karlach hears him say fuck she’s soooo proud of him and he’s just looking at her like “…did u think i had never said fuck before????” (she did) (so did wyll tho). some of his slang is like very specifically athkatlan which tends to throw people off, but it’s not all that unusual or anything. he’s not a huge terms of endearment boy except for with gale, but idk what ones he uses most often yet. also he has like. the quintessential transmasc gay boy voice. the exact intersection of “been on t for a few years” and “i really like men.” :)
xarrai has two distinct modes of speaking. it’s either the flowery and dramatic (and generally pretty posh) Bard Mode or it’s something more relaxed. think like, casting vicious mockery vs just insulting someone. there’s definitely a lot of variance in there (matching the style of someone’s speech is helpful when you’re manipulating them after all lol) but those are the general vibes. when they’re not trying to schmooze with the upper city elite they curse like a sailor and have no qualms about saying something uncouth as long as it will be funny (or sexy. depending.) their accent is very distinctly baldurian, though they’re able to bend it a little to sound more like they’re from the upper city or the lower city if they need to. however, every now and then you can catch a hint of smth Not Baldurian to their accent as a little holdout from growing up in mulmaster. the fr wiki tells me the language they speak in mulmaster is meant to be a baltic language so i suppose that’s how the accent would lean? i’m not sure tbh. it’s def smth that only comes out in little ways - some spell incantations they pronounce weirdly maybe. just a little something they can’t shake no matter how hard they try. their accent was definitely stronger when they first returned to baldur’s gate, but it’s 95% gone now. xar is similar to astarion in that they’ll throw a “darling” or “dear” or “sweetheart” out to just about anyone; they’re fairly liberal with their terms of endearment lol. they and astarion definitely competed for who could come up with the worst/stupidest terms of endearment early on (which drove the party crazy.) the only significant term of endearment that’s exclusively for astarion (and they only started using it for him around act 3) is “dearheart.” :3 he’s the first and only person they ever use it with. in terms of general sound, i think the in game voice i have for them (voice 6) is spot on tbh i’m kinda obsessed with it
