✨Let's talk about OCs!✨ How would you describe your OC's personality/aesthetic? What's your favourite thing about them? Tell us a fun fact(s) about your OC or their creation!
I suppose I have to answer this on my main page rather than my writing page (I'll just reblog) @hadesgirl015
I guess I'll talk about Telvelni from "Fire and Runepowder," as she's probably the Tav I've wrote the most for. Beware some spoilers for BG3 and obviously the fanfiction.
The first thing you gotta know about Telvelni, is she is fiercely loyal, almost to a fault. I mean she literally sold her soul to Thymes (we can talk more about him later if you want) to help her clan.
Because of her fierce loyalty was why it hurt so much when Wulbren stole the credit for finding the formula for Runepowder.
Her first thought when she found out what Cazador was planning with Astarion, was that the vampire lord needed to die. (And she's not even dating him, they have a sibling-like relationship). (We might even see something similar with Shadowheart and the House of Grief)
I'm not sure about aesthetic as I'm not even fully sure what that means lol.
The fun fact about her creation: I suppose I got the idea for her during my 6th play through (Tel is my 8/9), when I played a halfling and romanced Gale. I thought it absolutely hilarious/cute seeing a halfling with a human, so I thought it'd be even better if you had a gnome (Even smaller than a halfling) with easily the largest of the main cast Karlach, (I don't really count Halsin as you can't really romance him until Act 3 and that's far too late for me).
So a gnome and Karlach, than I thought, it's sort of cool how some characters are connected to NPCS, like Wyll with Florick and the Fists and obviously his father, and Karlach with Gortash. So I thought it would be cool if this Tav had a connection to NPCs, and that's when I got the idea to make her an Iron Hand Gnome, which worked out perfectly because the Guild Artisan Background was the only one I haven't done/ a major character didn't have.
So now I have a Deep Gnome who is an Iron Hand. Now it was time for class. I have a small fondness for Charisma classes as I love talking my way out of stuff, and I'd already done bard and sorcerer and paladin (which wouldn't make much sense) so than I thought Warlock. Makes sense to me because it felt a little weird to me that the Iron Hand Gnomes seemingly just found the formula for Runepowder that's been missing for centuries, so why not have a someone sell their soul to a patron for it, and too me, a fey just sounded the most fun.
So that's how Telvelni became a Deep Gnome, Fey Warlock, that is a part of the Iron Hand Gnomes, who is madly 'twitterpated' with Karlach.
They did it. The Netherbrain is defeated. The Grand Design is stopped. The cult of the Absolute destroyed. They are the heroes of Baldur's Gate. But, not everything works out for our heroes, at least not the way they first planned.
Prologue: A Deal
Telvelni (Tav) is an Ironhand Gnome, after getting abducted by mind flayers and infected with one of their tadpoles, she must make her way back to Baldur’s Gate with the important information she had received. Information she paid a lot for and could potentially be a turning point for her clan.
Well we've certainly come a long way.
I'd like to thank @trying-to-do-good for always giving me encouragement with my writing and occasionally giving me the advice needed. I'd also like to thank @redfoxwithaccount and everyone else for reading and reviewing. Seeing reviews and kudos always means a lot to me.
67 Chapters plus a Prologue
Over 235,000 words.
And over a year of writing. But the game is over.
But that doesn't mean Telvelni's and Karlach's story is.
Karlach’s engine could no longer survive on the material plane after the defeat of the Netherbrain. Luckily Telvelni was able to convince her girlfriend to return to Avernus with the help of the Blade of Avernus, Wyll Ravengard, her best friend. Together the three of them fight against the Archdevil Zariel’s armies as she attempts to reclaim her barbarian fighter for her Blood War. This time, Karlach isn’t alone in Avernus. A sequel to Fire and Runepowder.

Chapter 1: Day One
I've had this part planned for so long, or at least the inkling of an idea of it. It's crazy going back and reading Act 3 of Fire and Runepowder and seeing some lines and being like, 'Huh, was that there before or after my idea. Was I so good at foreshadowing that I didn't even realize I was foreshadowing?
Anyways, this is where the story starts get dark and earn its M rating for capture/abduction and soon to have minor torture elements.
