I primarily post about BG3 and various wonderful Tavs and Durges, as well as a few of my own.
If you're curious to find out more about my guys, I do have a website where I've started to compile some information, artwork, and stories.
More information about my OCs under the cut:
Breoch Vy'sse
He/Him
Lolth-Sworn Drow
217 years old
Draconic Sorcerer (White)
Background: Noble
Breoch is the eldest son of his exiled noble family, and one of an identical twin. He lived in Menzoberranzan for more than a century, using his charm and body to ingratiate himself among the nobility. After a long and messy break-up with his necromancer wizard boyfriend, he found himself strapped to said boyfriend's operating table; his still-beating heart preserved in a jar. He had died: tortured to death by his ex, and then brought back by him countless years later. Just when he thought he'd finally escaped from his ex's grasp, he was captured by the Absolute and trapped on the nautiloid.
Tag: Tav! Breoch
Reference sheet
Philomena Heath
'Mina'
Human
31 years old
Arcane Trickster Rogue
Background: Artisan
Mina is a seamstress from Waterdeep that keeps the truth of her identity close to her chest. On the surface, she is an unremarkable artisan that diligently works behind the scenes in a renowned enchanted clothing shop; under that façade, however, Mina is a skilled spy with a talent for infiltrating places without being noticed. She is completely forgettable. How she seems to have insider knowledge about the Absolute is a mystery her companions will need to tread carefully to unravel...
Tag: Tav! Mina
Reference Sheet
Ezekiel (Zeke) Ignistinea
He/Him
Baalzebul Tiefling/Bhaalspawn
26 years old
Fiend Patron Warlock/Gloomstalker Ranger
Background: Soldier
Zeke was kidnapped by a devil named Caedes whilst he was still a child. Caedes raised him as his own son in Maladomini and eventually offered him a pact to grant him greater power. In return, Caedes would be able to treat him as "his own flesh and blood". Zeke found his return to the mortal plane incredibly lonely, so is quick to befriend anyone willing to take the time to get to know him. He's very loyal, trusting and kind, but he does have some...unusual habits.
Tag: Durge! Zeke
Shrike
They/Them
Asmodeus tiefling
35-ish years old
Oath of Vengeance paladin
Oathbreaker
Background: Dark Urge
Shrike was raised by their mother, who had run away from her cruel partner and Shrike's father. Shrike had an unusual affinity for violence, so joined the local barracks. Once they discovered that their mother was being blackmailed by their father, they swore an Oath of Vengeance against him and his criminal network. Although they were successful in destroying their father, their time in Baldur's Gate revealed the identity of their true father and their destiny. Lost without their oath, they relished their newfound role as the leader of the Bhaal temple. Their leadership had secured success after success, far more than any of Bhaal's chosen before them, until an entanglement with Bane's chosen resulted in their downfall.

Thank you for the asks, lovely! It's such a nice surprise that people want to know more about Mina 😊
Ask list
1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?
Ooh, this is an interesting question. Mina is unique among my OCs as she started as a personality. A fairly vague concept of a character that floated in and out of various hyperfixations and fandoms. For the longest time, she only existed in my head. She became a solid character during my Obey Me days, gaining a definitive design and personality, and was then repurposed for BG3.
OG Mina (and Zeke) design:
Vs Tav Mina
3. How did you choose their name?
I shamelessly stole the name from Dracula as Mina Harker was my favourite character. Something about how she stays strong, but doesn't hide that she's afraid, seemed fitting. Her full name Philomena has always been a favourite of mine and the meaning of 'Lover of strength' or 'Lover of the moon' suits her perfectly. 'Heath' comes from heather and heathland, which is commonly found on the moors and by the coast. It's a landscape that looks fairly unremarkable, it lacks bright flowers or towering trees, but it's unbelievably resilient— much like Mina.
9. Are they based off of you, in some way?
Of all my OCs, Mina is the one that is the most like me: even down to the pronouns. She started as a stand-in name for an 'MC' for Obey Me as I found it weird using my actual name. When I started to make her into a distinct OC, I gave her many of my own flaws as well as a few extra. She is a snapshot of me from a specific point in my life, but several degrees removed. As though she took a different path from a similar starting point. We're both shy, but it shows in different ways. We're both asexual lesbians, but her boundaries are different to mine. I'd like to think we share the same patience and selflessness, though she acts on it differently. She has taken on a life of her own, but she is the OC that is closest to my own heart.
Relationships between Vhaeraun and his worshippers may be a little more belligerent than most, but the big guy is always looking out for his little guys.
Hati and astarion are best frenemies. Muninn likes to see the best in everyone. Hati is skeptical of everyone around her family. So when astarion picked Muninn, hati didn’t like it at all. However by the time Hati came into the picture astarion had already fallen for the half fey. Eventually he showed Hati he would try his best to one day be what Muninn saw in him.
‘still Hati is salty on how astarion started the relationship and so while they are friends, they also tease and prank each other.
‘Muninn is typically the more dominant one but astarion was seriously just feeding from them when they accidentally fell over. Hearing hati come to investigate astarion made it look like way more.
as for the new jewelry on astarion. Eventually to walk in the sun again he makes a pact with Yue. He still has sunlight sensitivity and does burn like any other pale skinned person in the sun, it no longer bursts him into flames. So he got bat earrings both as a joke about his vampirism and because yue’s familiars are bats.

"character doing a c+ job of breaking the cycle of abuse" is such a crunchy dynamic forever. what if i'm giving my all to give you a better life than i had and i'm succeeding but "better" just isn't quite enough. what if my blind spots and deeply ingrained trauma and inexperience mean that you will be indelibly scarred by me despite my best efforts. what if my abuser's influence still bleeds through at times because i know nothing else. what if i go so far in the opposite direction to avoid it that i hurt you in ways i couldn't have anticipated. what if my undeniable love and unforgivable shortcomings came part and parcel with each other. what if your love and gratitude and resentment and pain came part and parcel too. what if we both knew you deserved better but i was all you had. what if we had to move forward and reckon with that. what then
"So, Mina", Wyll breaks the silence as his figure flickers behind the campfire.
"Yes?" she replies as she continues her attempt to flip the stone inside the campfire.
"What's the story of the maul?"
Mina flips the stone on its belly up. The stone had it coming. "Oh Betty Girl? Yeah she's my pal", she pats the handle under her as she sits on the flat side of her weapon, "I like a maul more than an axe because you can't break a wall with an axe without making it useless, you know?"
"That's very practical of you", Wyll agrees.
"You have your sting" Mina gestures to the rapier on Wyll's hilt, "I have my hammer. It's just a tool, right?"
"The hammer and the blade, it's fitting."
"I know right? Betty Girl has been with me a long time. Sentimental. I think I was somewhere in the Neverwinter Wood and I just got lost, you know? For about a month. Started talking to myself because I don't speak bird. Then I figured might as well find a target to talk to and it ended up being Betty Girl? Isn't that right, pal?" Mina looks down at her weapon. It doesn't respond because it does not have a mouth. "Yeah she knows."

Hello! Questions 5 and 14 for the oc asks please! And dealer's choice for the oc(s) you want to answer for. 🌻
Thank you so much for the asks!
Ask list
5. Is there any significance behind their hair color?
Breoch's hair colour is the complete opposite of what a typical drow's hair should be because of his dragon great-grandfather. It's an outward sign that his family do not strictly follow Menzoberranzan doctrine.
Mina's hair is a dirty blonde. She's always been a blonde, but the specific shade is supposed to be more muted and not typically considered an 'attractive' shade. It's much more mundane.
Shrike's hair colour is reminscent of blood and fire, both of which have dual-symbolism of life and death.
Zeke's purple hair is a carry over from his previous iteration. The in-universe significance is that it's the colour his father chose for him.
14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?
Breoch:
He will always act however you expect him to. Everything he does is poised, calculated and conducted to endear himself to others.
Despite his insight into others' behaviours, he has no self-awareness. He never introspects or reflects on his own actions. His gaze is always focussed outwards.
Shrike:
They are frugal with their words. Why use 50 words when 5 and a sharp blade gets the message across?
They express themself through their tail. Their tail will reveal their true feelings even when their face and words give nothing away.
That IS an interesting ask list👀 and I'm only going to grab one since I'm thinking it might be popular. If I'm wrong I'll send more questions later.
What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
If possible could I get all four Baldur's Gate blorbos? If you just want to do one could I get Philomena, please💕
Thank you for the asks! You were right about them being popular (and I will send some of these right back for you too) 🤭
Asks here
19. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
I've already answered for Mina here, so I'll answer this for the other three.
Breoch: Despite being over 200 years old, he's only woken up to an empty house once or possibly twice in his entire life. He's always made an effort to be around people; never allowing himself to be truly alone with his thoughts. The first time he woke up alone in a house was after his fiancé was murdered. He then moved back in with his family in the few months before he too was killed. Waking up alone again would send him right back to that morning of grief, the feeling of loss as sharp as it was then, and cause him to spiral uncontrollably.
Shrike: They will eat anything you put in front of them. It's almost as if they don't have a sense of taste and would just as readily eat meat on the verge of rotting as a platter of exquisite cuisine. Although as a bhaalspawn, they do prefer meat over vegetables.
Zeke: He has a supernatural sense of smell. As a partial devil and a bhaalspawn, his sense of smell is much more sensitive than most. The scents of the material plane are unfamiliar to him, so he notices them more. He once made Wyll blush by telling him that he "smelt like sunshine".
1, 12, 14, and 19 for any oc of your choice for the oc creation asks!
Thank you for the asks! I've tried to switch up which OC to answer for each question (and hopefully avoid duplicating). Answers below the cut:
Asks here
1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?
I always start with appearance when making OCs, and usually their personalities and history grow from there.
Breoch was designed to be as pretty as possible. As I started adding more elements that deviated from the 'typical Lolth-Sworn drow appearance', a story of a fallen noble House that defied Lolth out of love for a dragon began to take shape. I tried to give him traits that I thought would be considered 'undesirable' in Menzoberranzan: his asymmetry, his scar, his scales, his dark hair, and paler skin. Traits that would make him unattractive in the Underdark, but would be viewed as beautiful on 'the Surface'. And then his name was intended to sound more draconic than drow to reflect that conflict.
Shrike was always going to be a non-binary tiefling paladin. I wanted to give them autumnal colours because they're my favourite, which is why they're so warm-toned. In terms of their story, I didn't really define it too much until I'd finished playing through a canon durge run. As such, their 'personality' was very muted to begin with which then became its own canon. I fell in love with this stoic paladin whose inner battle against their dark urges made them appear intimidating, when really they have a heart of gold underneath. They still choose to resolve most problems with violence, but they do it out of love. Naming them after 'the butcher bird' seemed fitting.
12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?
I find Shrike's horns can be a real challenge to draw at times, especially from different angles. I love the shape of them, but they do get in the way. Shrike's hair and horns are their defining features and, whilst they look deceptively simple, it's so easy to get them wrong.
14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?
For Mina:
1) She rarely smiles. If she does smile, it's small and understated.
2) She will do anything to avoid confrontation. Even if somebody is teasing her as a joke, she would never tease them back.
19. What is your favorite fact about your OC?
Breoch: Being 1/8 ice dragon, he is capable of hibernation. The last time he hibernated, he freaked his lover out when he fell asleep for nearly two weeks without warning.
Mina: Her drink of choice is whiskey. She has trouble sleeping and will often pour herself a dram as a night cap.
Shrike: They're an exceptional horse rider. Even after the amnesia, their muscle memory would allow them to ride a horse with ease.
Zeke: He has a beautiful singing voice, especially when singing in his native Moonshae Isles' dialect/language (I like to think of it like fantasy Welsh)
hi! if you're accepting asks from the Questions About Creating Your OCs, i was curious about Mina c:
may i ask...
4. In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts?
12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)? and
18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
Thank you for the asks! These were really interesting to think about for Mina 💜
Asks here
4. In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts?
The Sword Coast and Faerûn are chock full of legendary heroes and powerful adventurers. Mina's defining character trait is that she always views herself as average in every conceivable way. So when thinking about her backstory, I wanted her to have a very modest start to her life. She is skilled, especially as a 'rogue', but it's a quiet unassuming expertise; skills that can be easily overlooked. It's against this backdrop of heroic legends that Mina is comparing herself. She'd rather sit in the wings and lend support whilst the 'real heroes' fight The Absolute. After all, what can a full-time seamstress and part-time spy from Waterdeep really do to help?
She also needed to have a reason why she was chosen by The Emperor to help its cause, which is why her skills of infiltration and her mission to find her fellow informants give her a reason to be selected in the first place.
12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?
Mina is a very solitary person, and I enjoy drawing short comics or characters interacting so finding the ideas to draw her can be a challenge. She's also the Tav that deviates most from the typical events, so I feel like I'd need to put more work into establishing her storyline before I can really share/create more stuff about her. I do have some ideas that I want to draw for her, but I'm not sure I have the skills to do it well yet 😅
18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
When I made the OC texts, I realised that Mina will never directly ask for something. Instead of saying "could you get 'X' for me please?", she would say "it would be helpful if I had 'X' for this", or "I need to get some more 'X' soon". She never assumes that people would be willing to help her, so is always surprised when people volunteer without being asked.
