Hi I'm Jack, I'm an Illustrator from NI. I just wanted to make a sub-blog to blast my BG3 experiences out there because i need somewhere to yell. My main is @thecoffeerain, I can't follow back here but I'm always happy to chat if you want so feel free to reach out!
Here are my current active TAVs so let me introduce them!
Nowhere
Druid (Circle of the Land)/Cleric / he/him / Tiefling / Guild Artisian / Gay / Astarion/Gale/Halsin (glitch)
Nowhere was the victim of a storm as a child, on a boat with his family and others trying to flee their home. As far as he knows he's the only survivor. He washed up on shore and was taken in by a crew of merchants who were coming into port to trade.
The crew named themselves after their hometowns, favourite places, or where they dreamed of living one day when they made it big. When Nowhere picked his name it was a reflection of his loss, too young to remember much of his home, and no concept of belonging anywhere else. He stuck with it, and endeavoured to change it once he knew where he belonged.
Many years later, while they were at a port again, Nowhere parted ways with the rest of the crew to enjoy the sights and people of the port town, and when he returned he found his crew were nowhere to be found, the ship ransacked and everyone gone. He started on a trail that led him to follow a band of notorious bandits, it led him right to Baldur's gate. And the rest is wormy history.

Mavollo
Sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline/Cold)/Bard / he/him / Elf / Dark Urge / Gay / Astarion
Mav doesn't remember much of his past, so here are some fun facts. Mav is technically blind, previous to the worm he used his music as a way of finding his way around.
Since he got all wormed up, he uses it as an extra sense, able to interact with other worms around him and see through their eyes to tell what is around him. He is therefore most vulnerable when he is in spaces with no infected.
Because he has no memory of before, he currently doesn't realise that this isn't how everyone sees.
He is not resistant to the dark urge, he indulges often. This is a dark playthrough. Please block #Mavollo if you don't wish to see any updates.

Grimhelm
Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)/Fighter / he/him / Aasimar / Soldier / Bisexual / Karlach
Grimhelm is from a line of Selune. His bloodline are heavenly devouts of her, always protectors who fulfil her will. He is a devout paladin to her, but that is not the only thing his family have in common. Their bloodline also carries the gift of Lycanthropy.
Grimhelm met Duke Ravengard as a young soldier and as he grew rose in the ranks to be a personal guard to the Duke and his son. However he kept both his lycanthropy and aasimar identity secret. It was the Duke's son who found out his secret and instead of shunning him, helped him with his lycanthropy, knowing someone in the city who was a talented alchemist.
He was able to give him potions that would subdue his nature and help him stop his full moon transformations. However after the Duke's son was banished, and Grimhelm lost access to the potions, he was left with the accumulation of all subdued transformations bursting out. He couldn't make it out of Baldurs gate in time and attacked several people before Duke Ravengard brought him down and locked him up.
Once he transformed back in his cell, the Duke sighed. They came to the agreement, he would leave until such a time he could prove that he was no longer a danger to the people. He was barely out of his cell before the nautiloid attacked and after a shared look, Grimhelm ran to the streets to protect whoever he could.

Fraanic
Rogue/Warlock / he/him / High Elf / Charlatan / Bisexual / ???
On the run from an ancient kingdom of Elves, son of the former ruler, Fraanic was at the time working as an assassin in Baldur's Gate. Having struck up a bargain with an old god on his arrival at Faerûn, in exchange for his own protection, he carries out the will of his pact-god Mordiggian.
Though to the party members he shows the face of a simple man, soft and naive. Deep down he is cunning, cruel, and would do anything to survive.
