21, 26, 42 for Jax if you please :)
i do please! thank you dear dm! <3 // DnD ask meme
21. What tarot would your PC be?
my first impulse is to give jax the chariot, and after checking biddytarot (my beloved biddytarot) i think i'm on the money there, And i am also going to add the hanged man
the chariot: (upright) control, willpower, action, determination, and strength; (reversed) self-discipline, opposition, lack of direction, and lack of motivation
the hanged man: (upright) pause, surrender, letting go, and new perspectives; (reversed) delays, resistance, stalling, and indecision
the upright meanings are completely opposed, but the reversed meanings are almost the same. the chariot is how jax behaves and how he wants to be, while the hanged man is who he's had to be every time his life has been thrown into disarray; both cards reversed are slightly different flavours of how he is at his worst
26. How would your PC answer the trolley problem?
ohh, jax has kinda had to play a bit of the trolley problem over the course of this campaign, huh? sacrificing the few to save the many. ugh. he would intervene and divert the trolley to run over only one person, but he would be thinking about that action for ages afterward.
(he finds himself thinking about how they banished o'reilly to the abyss the feywild not infrequently. he's not sure how to process those emotions)
42. Who is your PC’s favorite NPC(s) and why?
cody and den are the two names that come to mind!
of course jax loves cody, That's His Son. nobody gave enough of a shit about this kid to put him on the right path, and jax has taken that particular matter into his own hands. he does feel a little bad that he roped cody into the impromptu "fake our deaths and remake our lives" scheme even all these years later, but cody doesn't seem to begrudge him that. he's glad cody is comfortable enough around him to be loudly sick of his stupid jokes skdjhgh
and as for den, well, jax feels deeply grateful to her. she helped him set up downriver road, all those years ago. she was also the one who got this party together, by bringing the van gang and vivian and jasper to downriver when they needed somewhere to hide and by sending them to comlink (via sending them to her maid café front). she was So sympathetic to jax when he was mourning the loss of his bar, and he trusted her enough to not feel disgusting about having cried in front of her about it. he likes the whistleblowers as a whole, but den has a special place in his heart
(the only reason i don't include max among his favourite npcs right now is just because... hough, that relationship is messy right now. but he's missed them so badly.)
