I was tagged by the amazing @fireflyeyes , @optimisticgrey and @saylofwaterdeep for this one.
I will break this up in two parts and will add the tags in the next part.
I wanted to give my 4 girlies the proper care for this.
Choose an OC and answer the following questions so we can learn a little more about them. Feel free to include all your OCs if you want.
Lady Seara of House Alsevir
Lady Seara for people who need to be reminded, Archduchess if they really piss her off.
Called sweetheart by Enver Gortash to annoy her.
In my Seara x The Dark Urge AU she's called 'my sweet' by Durge because he thought her blood tastes sweet when he bites her.
Some of the DU-related characters call her different things, but those aren't revealed yet.
2. Does your OC have any nervous ticks or self-soothing habits?
No, if you count putting people in their place self-soothing then maybe. Seara has an arrogance and confidence that's immense.
She can get incredibly annoyed when she feels like she's not in on a plan of scheme. But she will just lash out to someone (lol Gortash gets it a lot) instead of looking inwards.
3. Let's say your OC got kidnapped. What would save them?
She would set the person who dared to do it on fire. She's a fire draconic sorcerer and is very qualified in setting people on fire, thank you very much. She's also super charismatic so I think she would be capable to yap her way out of it.
4. If your OC has a love interest, are they opposite or rather similar?
She's betrothed to Enver Gortash. They have things that are polar opposite like their upbringing and trajectory of life. Seara grew up into nobility and is used to it. Gortash obviously had a totally different upbringing and rise to power. But they're both so ambitious and cutthroat.
In this series she's with The Dark Urge who was a companion on the nautiloid as well. While Seara can be devious and laissez-faire about moral ethics, Durge goes a bit further than her. But I feel like the taste of power that Durge provides would really turn more from evil/neutral to fully evil.
In game she was together with Ascended Astarion. I really played into the 'noblewoman that escaped arranged marriage with this' so freedom played a LARGE role.
5. Is there a story behind making your OCs? What inspired you?
Seara was the first character that I finished the game with! I loved playing a sorcerer and playing a more morally grey character. But as my OC now she's way more morally grey (maybe sometimes more evil).
Seara was inspired by ASOIAF, she's kinda a blend of Daenerys, Cersei and Margaery.
The Dragon & The Tyrant
The Dragon & The Storm
Cassandra, Lady of the Hand
Cassandra for the companions and people she met on the road. Deep Mystery to the other Banites. No family name because Cassandra has cut those ties when she joined the Church of Bane.
2. Does your OC have any nervous ticks or self-soothing habits?
Her self-soothing habit is praying to be honest. She would see being nervous as a weakness, so better pray to Bane for it.
3. Let's say your OC got kidnapped. What would save them?
She would save herself with the skills she learned in the clergy. I feel like she would see being kidnapped as being weak and Bane does not tolerate weakness in his clergy. She would probably rather die trying to prevent the kidnapping then being kidnapped.
4. If your OC has a love interest, are they opposite or rather similar?
Well, Enver Gortash ofcourse. More of a political marriage but there are some feelings there. Not that she would admit that.
They are very similar, both grew up poor but Cassandra obviously didn't have the whole devil thing. Cassandra did join the Church at fifteen so she grew up in the Church.
They share their faith and obviously the same moral values.
5. Is there a story behind making your OCs? What inspired you?
Cassandra was born in my mind when I was thinking on how each of the Dead Three would react if a cleric of their faith would be a part of Team Tadpole. I thought that Gortash would be the most interesting and from there researched about Bane and found the religion fascinating.
