My Yrollam lore knowledge is woefully inadequate, so how about 1, 13, 14 from the Secret Ask List to restart my education?

hey thanks!

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

not the most exciting but I really like the default voices in bg3 haha. her in-game voice (I think it's fem voice 4) is just her canon

13) Does your OC have a rival? How did it start?

Previously: before her tadpoling, Yrollam was a very scientific woman, lots of careful medical knowledge and experiments and such. So I think her rival was not so much a specific person but the larger medical community of Baldur's Gate, as her experiments -- while making great strides in the field -- often went far beyond the bounds of taste and ethics. (Of course, her biggest dissenters ended up on the bhaal temple floor so 😬)

Currently: maybe a very minor rivalry with Minthara, who is romancing Elberos (Yrollam's best friend slash employer). Minthara thinks Yrollam's an effective fighter but weird/annoying, Yrollam thinks Minthara is very cool but a steamroller.

14) Who's a character your OC cannot stand! It's on sight when they see them!

Sceleritas Fel...Yrollam can feel the echoes of upper management in the depths of her bhaalist bones, and she does not want that life or responsibility back. No underlings allowed, no butlers, no henchmen.

He also popped up the second time right around when she began romancing Wyll / shifting to a better and less murderous state of being, and she didn't appreciate that undermining.

I'm having fun with photo mode

stealing an OTP vibes games I saw, except I'm doing it with my BroTP

Rules: Post some pictures of your OTP and their vibes, some info, and a song that fits their vibe. That's it. Edit as you please.

my dark urge Yrollam & @tetoman's tav Elberos

♪ otep - apex predator | mother mother - wrecking ball | metric - blindness

-> Elberos (paladin) is a necromancer interested in books and world domination.

-> Yrollam (barbarian) is suddenly stress-free and loving life.

when they first met, Elberos cast Friends on Yrollam bc he wanted a minion. she was so flattered by this that they've been besties ever since🥹

Six-Song OC Soundtrack: Yrollam

Dark Urge Barbarian (high elf)

Event that defines character's past

All that I know Lies within emotion Words remain unspoken Lead me through the dark

pre-tadpole/amnesia, Yrollam held herself in tight rein; a strict woman always aiming for efficiency and numbers. Murder and mayhem were a science, not an art, and always in the interest of making her Father proud. Deep down, though, she was never truly calm but bottled up; the defining event here was her amnesia uncapping this bottle, letting the wall crumble, allowing her to be her fully emotional self without the cold facade she'd built over the years.

How your character sees themselves

Laughing with a mouth of blood From a little spill I took … And I can't see the future but I know it's got big plans for me

she's HERE she has an AXE and despite everything she's having a GOOD TIME! She can't see the future, but she knows it's got big plans for her!

How others view them

You changed how you feel, It's good to break the seal And blow us both away

the rest of the tadfools can see that Yrollam a) is going through some stuff, and b) is indeed a strange girl

Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic)

I never made it with moderation No, I never understood All the feeling was all or nothing And I took everything I could

Yrollam woke up on the nautiloid with an old familiar hollow in her heart, hungry for warmth of any kind.

Her most important relationships:

Elberos (my husband's Tav): cast Friends on Yrollam moments after meeting in the nautiloid, intending to use her as a henchman. Yrollam was so touched at this -- he thought she'd be a good minion?? -- she's been his BFF ever since.

Wyll: initially disapproved of her; she was, after all, a little too into the violence that destroyed most of the Grove. but when Yrollam later refused to kill Isobel, turning her back on the Urge, he saw a new side of her, and a romance soon blossomed. For her part, Yrollam admires Wyll's strength in defying Mizora and in sticking to his morals no matter what; he's like a fairytale knight, and she only hopes she can be something like that too someday.

Minthara: Elberos' love, Yrollam considers Minthara one of her nearest and dearest by extension. The feeling isn't entirely mutual, but what can you do?

A major fight scene

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt But where's the fun in that? I gotta satisfy the thirst

She's turned her back on murder, but definitely not on violence in general. Yrollam loooves being a barbarian, she loves hacking and slashing. While her amnesia's unbridled her emotional control + set her free from all those pesky familial expectations, her core has never changed: she lives to be told go, kill, and to do it well.

End credits song

Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong (strong!) I am invincible (invincible!) I am woman!

I had a few more serious songs, but honestly, this one keeps haunting me. The vaguely uncanny cheer, the painfully straightforward nature of the lyrics, it's all very Her.

❤️Send this to at least 3 people to spread some OC appreciation!❤️

(the above is what I was sent; no pressure to do it of course)

thank you!

my Dark Urge, Yrollam -

She was a very high-stress, high-achiever Type A until the Orincident wiped all that familial pressure away and reset her nervous system. Now she's finally relaxed! Still a people pleaser, though. She'll do anything for the vine. She got the Volo eye.

Her BFF is my husband's tav, a necromancer. She's romancing Wyll.

fun fact: she collects seashells 🐚
