OC: Feren (aka my Tav from Baldur's Gate 3)

🎨 Is your OC artistic? Can they draw or paint or do they prefer another medium? Are they a writer or musician or do they do something else? Give us a quick run down of what they can get creative with!

Yes!! Feren loves the creative arts in general: acting, story telling, playing music, dancing, singing, drawing and painting. He just can't write as he's illiterate. Feren is... passable at playing a lute, but he's a lot better at singing or dancing to music than playing it. He also loves telling stories, the more dramatic the better, but he only really knows of orally-told folk tales that are easy to memorise rather than complex & esoteric prose. He's able to perform in plays by memorising lines that are read out loud to him or he just wings it and improvises.

As he's not part of a guild, he has relatively limited access to the tools he needs for painting or drawing, although he's pretty good at scavenging materials for himself.

He has a shabby sketchbook with paper made from clothing rags of hemp or linen (that he's usually nabbed from wherever he can find it). He also uses his druid skills to source things from the natural world. For a canvas, he'll often use slate or bark, chalks for sketching, and pigments from ochres and flowers for paint. His bedroom walls are covered in bright colours that he's been adding to bit-by-bit over the years, depicting an emerald forest kingdom (which may or may not resemble what was once his home).

✨ If your OC were a deity of some kind, what would they represent? What do they look like? How are they worshipped and what offerings would they expect? What are their places of worship like? Their followers? Their teachings?

ooo love this question for a d&d setting

Feren is the Guiding Light, or Star-Wolf, God of starlight, guidance, reunions and protection. He shines light into wherever it is darkest; much like constellations have helped navigate people for many years, Feren helps those who are lost to find their way or reunite with loved ones. In his usual elven form, Feren wears little, save for the golden leaves that adorn his body. On his blond hair is a halo-like crown. His skin is covered in tattoos of constellations that glow whenever he feels strong emotion. He wields two things; his famed lantern, which is said to have captured starlight that can illuminate any darkness, and a sword with a blade made not of metal, but a window into the galaxies. His other form is a giant wolf made of celestial matter. As for offerings, he simply expects a lit match, candle or lantern. He can be worshipped anywhere, but usually at night or in dark temples where the contrast between light and dark is more apparent. He often gains followers in moments of desperation (whether they are figuratively or literally lost). His followers wear white, yellow, blue and black and are usually clerics, paladins or druids. They usually act as guides through dangerous or unknown lands.

🗣️ What are the most painful words that can be said to your OC to utterly break them? What are the words that you could tell them to cheer them up? Maybe some advice to give them the boost they need!

"I know what you really are. You're a murderer. If you hadn't been so reckless, so weak, so foolish, you could've saved them. But you ruin everything you touch, most of all yourself. You went from a prince to a whore. It's almost impressive how far you've fallen. So pathetic... nothing but broken goods."

^ something along those lines would hit right in the self-loathing that Feren tries so hard to repress. It would be pretty hard to cheer him up after that lol, but not impossible. Telling him that he isn't being judged, his trauma isn't his fault, and that he deserves happiness & love is a start. It'll take a while, but he will slowly start to believe it.

It screamed, the power of the blast enough to knock it out of its charge. Its arms hammered down, wheeling to regain its balance. Ellis just reloaded and shot again, and then again, and then again until the monster’s corpse flopped backwards, headless.

The younger man gave him an almost feral grin, reflected by the wild glint in his eyes. It looked good on him.

“Goddamn, Ellis,” Nick muttered, watching the way his chest expanded under that tight yellow shirt, remembering the way it had looked without it.

As a fan of powerbottom!Ellis and hairy, scarred Nick, I feel as though I need to pledge you my loyalty. Your work is amazing, I love everything you've made and I'm very excited to see what else you do! Thank you for sharing with the fandom

Thank you so much!!! I’m glad the L4D2 fandom is still around, and in particular the Nellis branch of the fandom, and I also want to say I absolutely love your Nellis fics!
