What are your Tav’s intentions/goals after the end of the game?
Thus far, I've only completed the game once with Levis, my Paladin Oath of Vengence. [I've had a few failed attempts prior where I became either overwhelmed or distracted when reaching act three and lost the mindset.] They've decided to continue adventuring with Astarion and see more of Faerun.
He didn't ascend, so it's mostly about enjoying each other's company and maybe even find something to help reintroduce Astarion to the sun. Teiflings live longer than half-elves so much could change in their future.
Has your Tav become particularly close to anyone romantically and/or platonically in their journey? If so, who, and what is the relationship like? If not, why not?
Levis has developed quite close ties with all their companions. Their initial mindframe was that they needed to stick together and make the mash-up of different personalities and experiences work in their favour. So, there were a few little white lies in the beginning, mostly over opinions regarding the tadpoles and being okay with the Shar worship. Everyone had their own skeletons buried in the closet, so it was easy to shrug it off as long as it didn't interfere.
Romantically, as already mentioned, Levis fell for Astarion's charms? Perhaps taken in by the attention. They, like Astarion, hadn't counted on catching feelings. There was a brief moment of misunderstanding? with Gale during a magic lesson but it was quick to blow over.
The relationship is largely sexless following the admittance of feeli and for several reasons, one of the biggest being Astarion's trauma. Levis is asexual, so the pair enjoy other acts of intimacy such as kisses, cuddles, cleaning blood off one another, and sharing one another's space.
Later, there is also Halsin, who with permission, is added to the mix and equally as accepting.
How does your Tav feel about killing?
Levis took pleasure in killing the slavers in the Underdark as well as the often outspoken Goblins. They had their reasons for killing those they did and they would make the same choices again. Most were corrupted and had inflicted far worse onto the less deserving, though despite all of this, Levis would tell you it never got easier, even if they deserved it. Sometimes though, it was fun just to get the last word in or knowing you'd changed someone's life for the better.
What is your Tav’s favourite childhood memory?
Watching their father forge weaponry. He was a well-known blacksmith and was himself a commendable Paladin. Levis can remember the heat spreading across their cheeks and the sweat beading within their hairline before painting streaks through the gathered soot down either side of their face. He had made them their first blade with the inscription to never forget their roots.
What first impression does your Tav give off to strangers?
Levis, at first glance, gives off the impression that butter wouldn't melt. Despite being a teifling, a descendant from the archdevil Mephistopheles, they look sorta small, harmless and adorable. Often looking up to most rivals, yet looks are definitely deceiving.
