DOSSIER

name. Lilwyn "Lily" Whittlebee

species. Rock Gnome

pronouns. She / Her

age. 55

class. bard / artificer

statistics. 8str / 12dex / 10con / 19int / 12wis / 17cha

Lilwyn was born in the Outer City of Baldur's Gate in the year 1437 alongside her younger twin brother, Tavrell Whittlebee. Her family was poor, her father was a local butcher and her mother was a midwife. They were a close family, despite their poverty, and the twins were raised on tales of Baldurian heroes and dragons and magic.

When her father passed away in a work incident in the year 1453, their mother fell into a depression that meant Lily and Tavrell had to more or less fend for themselves. As teenagers they worked as couriers, before falling into their own professions as young adults. Lily worked as a tinker's apprentice, and her brother became an assistant to a local private detective.

They still supported each other, swapping stories and occasionally helping one another at work. Together, they made their careers while still keeping their ailing mother in bread and comfort. She would pass away from illness a little over ten years later, in 1465.

In the year 1477, Tavrell had recently started up his own office as a private detective, and began looking into a string of murders that had been happening across Baldur's Gate. Lilwyn told him that she had a bad feeling about it, but he went for it anyway—and not long after, the last surviving member of the Whittlebee family disappeared. Lilwyn spent almost a full year trying to find out what had happened, and trying to get the city watch to look into his disappearance, but to no avail.

Knowing surely that her brother must be among the victims of the mysterious killer, Lilwyn left her comfortable job as a tinkerer's assistant and took over her brother's old office, swearing that one day she'd find the bastard who murdered her brother and bring them to justice.

Quick Notes!

Wears long coats and smokes like a chimney, mostly cigars.

Has her private detective office in the Lower City. Bard with investigation expertise.

The person who will never forgive the dark urge, no matter how redeemed they are or how many worlds they save.

She has a gun.

This post is going to be my ongoing starter call. Please specify a muse in the replies if you can! I'm a slow writer so I can't guarantee I will get to things immediately but I WILL get to them. You're also giving me permission to potentially message you to plot if I feel I need to.

For reference, here is my Muse List. Here is my Interest Checker, too, which can be helpful for me knowing what sort of dynamics people are interested in.

I've been having a tough time lately, and when I don't have the energy for everything keeping up with social media is one of the first things I slip on. But I still care about all my writing buddies, so:

Reblog if you're not offended when people take a long time to answer asks, forget to reply to your replies, lag behind in tag games, or skip several weekly ask games.

I cleared out a lot of drafts and inbox today. I think I was getting a tad overwhelmed and that was giving me some trouble writing—I'll keep up with threads that get replies/if my rp partners wanna keep them up, but for now I'm starting semi-fresh. I'm now going to make a thing.

psa . in regards to posts of the following nature...

'like this if you want to remain mutuals'

i won't engage in those posts, and before you jump to conclusions such as me disliking your content, disliking your portrayal, disliking you as a person, that has nothing to do with it. i simply don't interact with those posts as you are an adult capable of making your own decisions and i expect you to do so, as much as i am an adult who is capable of making choices on my own as well.

but aven, how do i know if you actually do want to write with me? you need to understand that i need to see that you're engaging with me.

if i follow you, i intend to write with you. if i am too slow when it comes to writing with you, either tell me about it or unfollow me? i don't mind? you're allow to nurture your own dashboard, and unfollowing me doesn't really harm anything? i don't think of you in a lesser way, nor does it sour anything. people drift apart, writing will change and character chemistry changes, it's life and it's natural. if you're uncertain whether i want to interact with you or not, simply check and see if i am following you. that's it.

i understand that sometimes people need to reassure themselves, but this isn't the way to gain my reassurance. if i follow you, i take interest in you. if i interact with your posts through likes, it means that i am interested in you. take it or leave it, you're allowed to make choices you're comfortable with. 💗
