SPOILER WARNING BELOW

I think it’s easy to dismiss The Red Prince as the arrogant blowhard of the party at the beginning of the game, and while that may be true, his character development is unparalleled with anyone else in the game. Take this conversation, right before you ascend (or not) to godhood at the end of the game: 

Some self reflection!

(I ship Sadha/TRP so hard you guys, even if it is already canon)

Honestly, it’s the above pictures that truly makes The Red Prince an amazing character by the end. Watching his origin story, he makes it clear that his entire goal is to reclaim his throne, take back the power he feels was unrightfully stolen from him. 

But his journey has shown him that there are far more important things than wielding power: love, family, friendship, and brotherhood, to name a few. He’s grown immeasurably in what he values, and from the tone of his voice it’s clear that he’d give up all his power and station for them if given the chance. And it’s all but stated in the following picture.

As I’ve been playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 more frequently as of late, I thought I’d make a character profile for my lizard bro: Rahimus! There’s a distinct lack of Divinity OCs/custom characters online from what I could find, and maybe this might start a reblog chain if anyone else wants to share theirs.

Name: Rahimus

Age: Young adult

Sex: Male

Race: Lizard

Class: Wanderer

Primary weapon: Crossbows

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Love Interest: Sebille

Tags: [Outlaw], [Noble]

Personality: Cocky, jovial, mischievous, flirtatious, caring 

Backstory: 

Rahimus was born to a noble family belonging to the Ancient Empire’s House of War notable for generations of corrupt and shady leaders. His father was no exception, and Rahimus was raised by his parents to be keen of wit and ruthless in his dealings; power came to those quick enough to take it and strong enough to hold it. In early adolescence both Rahimus’ parents fell alongside each other in battle, leading to him taking his parents’ seat as the head of the family. He quickly took to resuming their schemes, expanding their criminal enterprise and profiting greatly while under the guise of loyal service to the Empire.

But this scheming was unsustainable. After using hired thugs to bully and steal from another nobleman’s territory, the aforementioned noble from the House of Laws began to catch on to his plans. Despite Rahimus’ attempt to fabricate evidence that would exonerate him, his plan fell to pieces, and in a panic Rahimus shot the nobleman when confronted. He fled the Empire with a price on his head and his family’s titles dissolved. On the road, Rahimus began understanding how those less privileged than himself live, and he begun to feel guilt over his past actions. Eventually he was tracked down by the thugs he’d used, who were angry at their lack of pay and intended to extract what they were owed in blood. It was during this fight that Rahimus exerted powerful Source, leading to his capture at the hands of Magisters and his imprisonment on Fort Joy.
