witcher bios;
Here’s a short write up for each of my Witcher folk. I was originally going to plug some personal reference to folklore and Phivee motif in there, but in the end, I decided to relent. It’s a lot more fun to use the backdrop that’s already there sometimes!
Anyway, into the blue:
ZVONIMIR FLAGRAS
AGE: 287 years old GENDER: Male (trans) PRONOUNS: He/him, they/them, none FROM: Parts Unkwown
LAW OF SURPRISE: His mother was a fair maiden who was on the road, trying to get away from the Witcher when she finally went into labour. Her cries drew the attention of some traveling merchants who went into town to get a doctor. The doctor came with a companion, the very Witcher she sought to avoid. She screamed and cursed the Witcher, calling them a bastard and a monster bent on ruining all mothers’ lives across the Continent.
SCHOOL: of the Griffin
AMBITION: To repair the other witcher keeps, in admittedly safer areas or with higher fortification, and/or to retrieve knowledge from these keeps to prevent any meaningful loss. Also wish to create a secreted away place only for witchers and their most trusted to live.
Trivia! Though NSFW, Zvonimir is actually a big pervert. You won’t get more than that, but that’s the dosh.

CALIGARUS
AGE: 146 years old GENDER: Agender PRONOUNS: They/them SEXUALITY: Grey-ace BIRTHPLACE: Brugge
VOICE: Low drawl, naturally breathy unless trying to be impressive or intimidating APPEARANCE: Built broad, very muscular. Has thick sideburns and stubble along jawline. Weaves in and out of having a beard, depending on the time of year/their mood. Sharp teeth, took more to the strain of ekimmara blood in their veins. Hair in long, thick twists down to back. Eyes are honey brown.
SCHOOL: of the Auroch QUIRK: Speaking and actually communicating with beasts and monsters
Trivia! The first actual Witcher occupation OC I made (the first Witcher OC I’ve ever made period was an NPC for a voice acting thing). For a while, I struggled between choosing the name “Caligarus” and “Cagilarus”. In truth, I still go back and forth between the two because they both still sound good to me. (Though “Cagilarus” is still my personal favourite.....)

AVITAMIS
AGE: 97 years old COMPLEXION: Red-brown GENDER: Bi-gender (DMAB), male and female PRONOUNS: She/her, he/him
BIRTHPLACE: Kovir and Poviss
APPEARANCE: Has a naturally flat stare and wide set eyes; has a wide mouth that seems to be pouting; their sunlit brown hair falls down to their knees.
LAW OF SURPRISE: Was smuggled as a child and given to a bandit king, for whom a Witcher had done a favour. When the Witcher came to collect, the bandit laughed and said that they had no use for a bitch let alone a child before handing over Avitamis easily.
SCHOOL: of the Crane
WEAPON: Very longsword (ha), musket (early gun)
Trivia! Avitamis’s physique is really inspired by Grom Foster in The Witch’s Throne. I feel in love with Grom when the episode first came out, so he’s had influence on Avita and a D&D character of mine.
