ok so felix's main bg3 verse. . .
the cattons are a noble high elf family in the upper city. felix will become a ranger like his father was, and vee will not settle one a class, though she absolutely does not want to go worship at the hands of any deity so catch her living the life of a lady. farleigh is a half elf -- his mother married a human from another city in faerun, which is where farleigh was until his father passed away. now farleigh lives at saltburn with the twins.
felix meets quentin coldwater, a human wizard, when they are still young enough to be boys running around together. they pick up @devi1lute somewhere along the way, during tavern's early courtesean's days in the upper city. the three of them are quite an unstoppable force. that is until oliver quick comes into their lives.
felix doesn't know he was in love until that love was ripped from him. in order to try to secure felix for himself, oliver uses tricks he's learned from years with the guild to take quentin out of the picture, making it seem like an accident. while ollie thinks that'll force felix to turn to him, it's tavern he turns to in grief. that's when the anger comes. that's when oliver decides his infamous if i can't have him no one can.
thanks to his training, felix's body knows the effects of poison once it's ingested. he throws back up the wine that oliver gave him and sets out to try to find the bastard. it's while he's out in the woods that the illithids pick him up. while it seems to be fate, it was actually oliver. he set up a deal. oliver's prize? saltburn.
he doesn't anticipate the hero's journey that felix is about to embark on.
as a deeply neutral good aligned character, felix aligns with @we4ved from the moment he pulls him from the rock. while falling in love is slow for them both for such different reasons, felix is quick to deny anyone else's advances in camp. it isn't that gale reminds him of quentin. . . it's just that gale wants him to himself in the same ways quentin did.
he falls for the man much easier than the magic and the ambition. those are pieces of gale as much as his jokes and his love of books are. the whole package is needed together, and with it felix can stay up all night by the fire just talking to him. they make a perfect team, especially with karlach and shadowheart on either side.
when the battle is done, gale does what felix thinks is the unthinkable: he chooses to ascend to godhood over felix. after everything they'd been through, he felt the need to do this, without felix by his side. it breaks felix's heart, but he stays in baldur's gate to rebuild with those still there.
seeing gale again for the first time in six months, knowing he'd found his way to godhood on his own, left felix concerned with what might happen. astarion seemed to think the fact that felix wanted to put on his party best when whithers' portal appeared was outrageous. . . but he helped him anyway. the two had grown much closer now that they could claim a shared title as hero. at least astarion didn't judge whatever felix needed to do in the night to try to get over his love.
but it seems every moment spent trying to forget gale could be thrown out the window the moment he sees him again. glimmering silver in the light of his new powers, felix tries his hardest just be with his friends. . . but eventually he wanders to get gale alone. while wyll thinks it foolish that a god could love a mortal man, felix knows that they love they shared ties their bonds still. one night together again becomes many and after another six months pass it becomes obvious that felix's time will be spent in the mortal realm in the home he creates with scratch and tara in baldur's gate, and gale's realm amongst the pantheon.
he will never become a god, but he's an elf. he'll live long and take care of the city. when his time comes, instead of passing on to the heavens he belongs, his soul will move to it's place beside gale forever.
notes:
felix's dream guardian is q. yes it hurts as much as you think it will when he eventually realizes that q is in fact dead.
this is just his main verse cause i developed it with darian while i was playing through the run and i based it on the ending i actually got lol. the more we talked about it today, the more i realized i LOVE what can be for god!gale and felix.
i will super selectively ship felix in this verse. it would either be an AU where felix and gale do not get together OR after felix gets his heartbroken and then decides not to get back together with gale. felix is still hella gay.
