Get to know my OCs: NPC relationships: Enver Gortash:

Sentry Ojeda:

Deep devotion, unhealthy codependent obsession, what Sentry would call true love. Sentry believes they are destined to be together whether in his Bhaalist chosen era where he believes he will carry Gortash's child and devour Enver alive to nourish it until dying by his side birthing the perfect heir to both Bhaal and Bane who will purge the world of life and rule over the wasteland that remains, or in his redeemed era where he believes if he can be redeemed, so can Enver and they can be together again and finally be happy and safe and have a family and a life. Sentry believes Enver is brilliant and has an important destiny and he will never love anyone more than him.

Wysp Silksong:

Wysp, in the main canon, was deeply in love with Sentry although he never told him. He also, having grown up in Menzoberranzan, knew what tyrants were like and hated the idea of living under one again. As a freedom loving follower of Elistraaee and someone who deeply and truly cares for Sentry, Wysp hated and distrusted Gortash. In the AU where Wysp lives as a Tav and Orin kills Sentry, Wysp falls for Karlach after mourning Sentry and as you can imagine, that only fuels his hate for Gortash.

Kroger of Creche K'liir:

As a man of science himself, Kroger can appreciate and respect Gortash's intelligence and ingenuity, but as a healer whose oath is to help and to do no harm, he is disgusted with him. Not to mention the pollution his creations cause and the illness it spreads. Kroger views him as misguided and a tragic figure, but nonetheless a danger to be rid of.

Jaina Thalassia:

His Iron Throne is an affront to her goddess, his foundry pollutes the waters near her mentor's temple, his leadership has the docks almost as inconvenient and poorly run as Neverwinter at this point, and of course he harmed one lover by threatening the lives of people Wyll cares about and another more directly by betraying Karlach. On top of that, Jaina being far too lenient and forgiving to people she cares about, since she views Sentry as a good friend, she refuses to hold Sentry accountable for his own actions and instead choses to believe Gortash used Sentry's love and loyalty to manipulate him. She would keelhaul this man if she could convince her father to put her in charge of the ship.

Jackal Silk:

Jackal heavily associates Gortash with Sentry, whom he hates and is jealous of. Of course a wealthy, powerful man is another thing Sentry has that he doesn't which he can lord over him and of course Enver treats Jackal like a repugnant stain on the bottom of his shoe just like every other shitty noble out there. Hells, he'd have tried to kill him long ago if he didn't know Orin would like that and she's the only person he hates almost as much as Sentry.

Octavia of Creche K'liir:

He's a brilliant inventor and thinker. True, he's not a very nice person and as a leader he'll probably be a problem, but she would much rather see him imprisoned in a place where she could visit and pick his brain for all the fascinating facts and information he has than see him dead. Maybe Sentry's right, maybe he can be rehabilitate. And if so, what a study that would be!

Tav Question

Not a question! Just share your Tav/Durge’s name and picture!

thekyuusanna

My Tav, Whisper Honeyguide. They are a necromancer, ambitious and cunning, having started out as a charlatan and really living up to that - the only people they wouldn't scam the daylights out of are other tieflings. Needless to say, the refugees got lucky. Resident lesbian (enby but the energies are there) with Shadowheart.

My Durge, Kriivah. They are a beautiful Oathbreaker Paladin, and while they have resisted the urge on some, uh, important points in time due to mostly pragmatic reasons, they are still really eager to bathe in blood. Astarion can fix them, surely (he is for sure trying his best... with some caveats).

I have not finished the game, playing these two side by side to compare how the story changes based on whether you are the Durge or not, and I will develop them in depth once I have finished the story. Kriivah has not even made it to Baldur's Gate yet.

I adore these posts!

Tav: Gustav of Winterwood

Durge: Vardana of Winterwood

As inconsistent as the story sounds, a kelemvorite group took the Bhaalspawn when a baby, so these two were raised together as siblings. Then Durge was taken back by the cult when young and they met each other again at Nautiloid years later. Tav used Durge's amnesia to bring his sister back to the right way. Yes, he is a manipulative fanatic, but he has good intentions :)

Sentry Ojeda, Kroger of Creche K'liir, Octavia of Creche K'liir, Jackal Silk, and Jaina Thalassia.

Sentry is my canon Durge, a trans masc artist and copper dreadful enthusiast who is deeply in love with Enver Gortash and at one point very close with his little sister Orin until Sarevok turned her against him. Devoted to his adoptive mother, a paladin of the church of Ilmater, eventually defies Bhaal due to her influence.

Kroger is a highly anxious but incredibly skilled and professional Ghustil I'm training and war priest of Vlaakith who grew up with Lae'zel and usually accompanies her on missions as dedicated healer. He learns of Vlaakith's lies and has a crisis of faith, afterwhich he, having befriended Isobel and Shadowheart, becomes a Selunite.

Octavia is a researcher who studies istik and their cultures to bring more knowledge to her people's great libraries, Lae'zel would often accompany her as a body guard on her excursions. She immediately falls for Gale who is full of knowledge and also asks her questions.

Jackal is a Bhaalspawn from the time of troubles, but isn't favored by his father. His purpose is to serve Sentry and Orin and follow their orders, which he resents. He was a fourth son of House Vandree and only kept because Bhaal was his father. He was married off to a matriarch of House Oblodra who found him handsome and after years of abuse, he ultimately made her his first murder, a late bloomer.

Jaina Thalassia is the Chosen of Umberlee, Daughter of a paladin and a priestess of the goddess and raised on an island of tiefling Pirates. She came to Baldur's Gate to learn and to eventually teach as well as perform a year of service to Allandra Grey, but she suffers from a terminal illness and was only getting sicker until the tadpole halted her disease. She is in love with Wyll and Karlach.

Get to know my OCs: modern vibes: who would they be in a modern setting?

Sentry Ojeda:

Edgelord goth core art kid. Always has a sketchbook and pens, noise canceling headphones covered in edgy stickers, horror and band merch, hand-distressed clothing and big hair, kinda unintentionally smug and gate keepy about how obscure his favorite music and horror movies are, if you invite him to your tabletop game, he is edgy mcedgelord. Big fan of Jhonen Vazquez.

Wysp Silksong:

Indie musician, cat dad, cool guy working at the record store who always plays at coffee house open mic nights and pines after the guy he likes that he just can't confess to. Mostly keeps to himself and unironically posts how much better he likes his cats than people.

Kroger of Creche K'liir:

Super serious medical student. Over achiever in highschool, dangerously close to burnout, survives on triple shots of espresso and protein bars, this will all be worth it when he's a doctor. Family is everything and he is overworking himself trying to keep his family happy this whole time. Goes to the gym to stay in shape but also secretly likes to be around all the work out bros.

Jaina Thalassia:

Beach and books girlie. Surfing, reading on the beach, collecting shells, special interest is marine biology and nautical history, equally a crystals and goddess energy girl. Disability advocate as well because of her illness, good with kids and clowns on people who hate on kids online. Theatre kid

Jackal Silk:

The guy you cross the street to avoid, probably spent too much time on 4chan and reddit, toxic masculinity and cringe tough guy shit, trolls people constantly, tough guy copy pasta energy.

Octavia of Creche K'liir:

Plushie collector, monsterfucker, long info deep dives and getting caught up watching hours long video essays online, kinda a 'well actually'person, always taking notes, shitty student but full of obscure facts and information, infodumping.

Get to know my OCs: Deity worship:

Sentry Ojeda:

For a time from ages 16 to the time he was in his mid-early 20s and got tadpoled, he was a loyal Bhaalist eager to please father with his art and his Murders. But before that and then when he traveled with the party, he did truly follow Ilmater. Although he distrust Gods in general, Ilmater has been patient, gentle, and understanding with him just as his adoptive mother who was a devoted paladin of Ilmater did. Ilmater sees Sentry as an exemplary redemption story and an ideal reflection of his teachings.

Wysp Silksong:

A devoted follower of Elistraaee since he was little. Born as the eldest and favored daughter of his family, his priestess mother encouraged him to worship Lolth, but secretly Wysp prayed to Elistraaee instead and practiced music as well as dreaming of one day escaping Menzoberranzan and living as the man he truly was. When his mother found out he was presenting as a man and worshipping Elistraaee, she disowned him and had him tortured and disfigured with ritual scars, intending to have him killed, but with his goddess' help, he escaped and carved out a new life on the surface as a bard.

Kroger of Creche K'liir:

Started out as a loyal follower of Vlaakith, a war priest and ghustil in training. He followed his queen loyally and lived up to every standard his leaders demanded, until he and his sisters were declared H'sharlak and banished. He then became friends with Isobel and also commiserate with Shadowheart after Shar abandoned her and ultimately he became a Selunite.

Jaina Thalassia:

Born into a devoted family of Umberlee worshippers and blessed with Umberlee's magic as a storm sorceress. She was meant to become a priestess like her mother, but instead after a near death experience as a little girl, she became Umberlee's chosen champion instead. Her belief in her goddess is strong and she honors the tradition of her island and her family.

Octavia of Creche K'liir:

She's not a big fan of deities or religion, but if she had to choose one, likely Oghma or Gond because of her love of discovery and innovation. She might have once considered praying to Mystra before she met Gale, but now she couldn't imagine a god she hates more.

Jackal Silk:

Mostly loyal to his father, Bhaal, but he also resents him for favoring Sentry, Orin, and Tomi, back in Menzoberranzan he briefly flirted with the idea of worshipping Vhaerun, but his ego really won't allow him to deign to worship Gods for the most part.

Get to know my OCs: relationships to NPCs: Raphael and Haarlep:

Sentry Ojeda:

Hated Raphael pre tadpole because of what he had heard from Enver, hates him post tadpole because somewhere deep down that feeling is still ingrained and also how Raphael treats him and Astarion reminds him of the abusive adoptive parents he had when he was little before being adopted into The Church of Ilmater.

Jackal Silk:

Actually kind of attracted to him because of his power and position in the hells as well as his control over his subordinates. He would very gladly work for Raphael if he could be certain he was the best, strongest option.

Jaina Thalassia:

Finds him to be an incredibly annoying pest. A ship's captain must know many things and so her father is adept in the study of law and legal dealings, as his potential successor, Jaina is schooled in these things to. Raphael makes bad deals. Stupid deals. And Jaina just does not have time for it. Also he's a cad, much like the upper city men she's deal with in bars and at plays while she's lived in Baldur's Gate.

Wysp Silksong:

Raphael is an annoyance and a disruption, same as he was back at Sharess' Caress. Wysp has zero respect and even less time for him and his bloated ego.

Octavia of Creche K'liir:

His personality is garbage, certainly, but the things she could learn about The Hells and its hierarchy from him! If she can just stroke his ego enough, she could learn things no one else ever thought to ask about.

Kroger of Creche K'liir:

Kroger knows when someone is talking out their ass and offering you a bargain too good to be true. Raphael is no friend of his or the party and he is sure to make it so everyone can see that.

Tav Question

What sort of decisions in-game would make the protagonist lose approval with your Tav if they were a companion?

Prompt submitted by @eilistraeetion

Not saving the gnomes in UD

Avatar
falcatas

Recruiting Minthara.

Since he is a Kelemvor cleric, this damn guy would disapprove of ascending Astarion, not helping the Gur, allying to any of the dead three (specially Ketheric and Balthazar) and so.

He is a real and annoying fanatic :(

For both Jaina AND Sentry: anything that harms the tiefling refugees.

For Sentry: helping Oskar Fevras, refusing to ally with Gortash

For Jaina: handing Aylin over to Lorroakan, refusing to help the Church of Umberlee, failing to destroy The Steel Watch.

For Kroger: siding with The Emperor, refusing to parlay with Voss when he lays down his sword, refusing to help the poisoned deep gnome in the myconid colony. Stealing the Githyanki egg

For Octavia: destroying Necromancy of Thay, attacking Omeluum, stealing the Githyanki egg.

Get to know my OCs: NPC relationships: the Emperor:

Because I've been having a lot of Emps feels and seeing a lot about him today:

Sentry Ojeda:

While he did feel betrayed by Emps taking his adoptive mother's form in his canon story, Sentry really relates to it and feels he understands it. While Sentry does not want to become an illithid, he understands Emps likes this form and the moment he learned about the whole story with Ansur, he was immediately on The Emperor's side when he realized how much it felt like when in his own life people had denied him manhood simply because of the body he was born in. He genuinely has tender feelings, though not quite love like he does for Gortash, Halsin, or Astarion, for The Emperor and canonically if given the choice, Sentry would not have freed Orpheus.

Jaina Thalassia:

She can see where it is coming from and is fairly indifferent towards its approach, she doesn't quite trust it, but nor does she really dislike it. She does genuinely believe it has feelings and is a person, she just can't reconcile its insistence on keeping Orpheus imprisoned. She would rather it have been open to trusting her with the decision as she trusted it, but she will ultimately free Orpheus and accept the consequences.

Kroger of Creche K'liir:

Does not trust The Emperor at all, dislikes it but is civil to it up until its final refusal to consider freeing Orpheus.

Octavia of Creche K'liir:

Fascinated and delighted by The Emperor. She considers it, along with Omeluum, the most important part of her journey, she has met illithids who are willing to cooperate and interact peacefully, which is a big step for her people if only she can get them to listen to her about it. She personally would only free Orpheus if Lae'zel were right there and insisted because she doesn't see Orpheus as a definite better option than Vlaakith and losing The Emperor as an ally and resource to study and learn from isn't worth it to her.

Jackal Silk:

At first distrust and hates The Emperor for ordering him around, but becomes attracted to its power when he realizes what it is. It is actually The Emperor that hates and distrust Jackal when push comes to shove.

Get to know my OCs: views on sex:

Sentry Ojeda:

Born as Bhaal's chosen from his own flesh, Sentry was always meant to breed and to create more perfect assassins with Bhaal's own bloodline, he was abused and misgendered for most of the start of his life, but in spite of that and not because of it, Sentry loves sex. Sex on his own terms is freeing and powerful for Sentry, whether he's paying for it at Sharess' Caress, having a fling with an attractive someone he propositioned or the other way around, or whether he's deeply in love and sharing his body as an act of Devotion, pleasure is the goal. Sex is not a sacred act, it is a way to feel pleasure.

Jaina Thalassia:

Sex is as normal as breathing, when you spend most of your life aboard a ship, there isn't much sound proofing and you can hear it. It's just something everyone does for various reasons but for Jaina personally, she wants it to be for love and with someone special. She would never judge anyone who thought differently or lived their lives differently and is open and encouraging with her friends who have a lover in every port or work at the brothels, but she always longed for something from a romance novel and she's found that with Wyll and Karlach.

Octavia of Creche K'liir:

Sex is fascinating! Every culture, every species, every faith seems to have a different concept of it! Some even use it simply for procreation, which sounds horrifying, but still so interesting to learn! There are limitless ways to enjoy it and some people even center whole rituals around it and like everything she studies, Octavia dives in head first and eager! Sex is academic. Sex is exploration!

Kroger of Creche K'liir:

Sex is, admittedly usually far from Kroger's mind as he focuses mainly on his work. It is also messy, particularly on the road. However, to see two bodies move together as one, the ripple of muscle under flesh, the slick sheen of sweat on the skin, he is coming to find it beautiful.

Jackal Silk:

Sex is a weapon. Sex is subjugation. You use it to show fealty to one who is more powerful, or to force someone weaker to heel. It matters little beyond that.

Avatar

Which of your characters saved the druid grove and which ones walked by (or even helped to destroy it)?

Avatar

Sentry saved it but only for the sake of the tieflings, he has a crush on Zevlor and wanted to impress him and he saw himself in many of the children since he was a scrappy kid himself.

Jaina saved the Grove because she cares very much for children as a teacher and also as a tiefling who has been persecuted, she related to the people.

Kroger is a medic and his duty being to heal and protect, he felt obligated Octavia chose to protect as well because she believed she could learn more from the refugees than the goblins.

Jackal destroyed the Grove to prove he was superior to Minthara because of his history as a drow and also because tieflings remind him of Sentry who he has a grudge against. He then turned around and also killed the goblins just for fun.

Thank you for the ask!
