Everyone looks so cool

The fatal Magos Dominus urge to Scuttle

This was my design for Faustinius based on the two artworks of him in the game.

Every time I picked a mission from Scaevola it went something like this

Scaevola: "There's a new artifact on the radar!!!:DDD" Faustinius: "*sigh* of course. And I assume you want it?" Scaevola: "yes [truth] [not lying] [very important] [hardly concealed excitement]" Faustinius: "*even deeper sigh* Alright, give me ONE reason why we should risk human lives for your new toy and we'll dispatch a team there." Scaevola: "You WOUND my HONOR Magos I am but a woman of SCIENCE and I have only the PUREST, most selfless of intentions at heart! OBVIOUSLY we NEED this artifact to defeat the Necrons, because the more intelligence we have on them, the greater our chances of survival and success! Honestly, that you would even THINK that I am doing this for any other reason than fulfilling our sacred Quest for Knowledge, is an affront to me!" Faustinius: "Alright, alright, fine, by the Omnissiah, shut up, we'll go get it." Scaevola: "yey:>"

Meanwhile picking a Videx mission be like

Videx: "Magos there is something I must inform you of IMMEDIATELY this is a matter of UTMOST importance that you must attend to post-haste lest we all fall" Faustinius: "Right, what is it?" Videx: "You see…………………… Those Flayers………………………. they are………. COMPLETELY unclean!" Faustinius: "… what." Videx: "You see, Magos, those filthy xenos do not bathe in holy water and never say their prayers to the Machine God! Not to mention they don't perform the sacred rite of thought purification! One shudders to think what unclean, filthy thoughts lie in those corrupted minds of theirs! This is prime heresy, worse, this is a complete moral apocalypse! If we do not do something about it right this instant, our very own souls and the souls of all of our troops will surely become tainted with their filth from standing within their unholy presence!" Faustinius: "…rrrrrrrrright. Our souls. Moral purity. Yes. Have you… perhaps considered that, at the present moment, the greater threat these Flayers present to our troops and their morale is that they will, oh I dunno, skin them alive before brutally dismembering them and arranging their limbs in a macabre display?" Videx: "But that is just what I am saying! To quote the venerable S'un T'zu, Personal Memoirs, page 31: "Holy fuck, burn that shit with fire, what in the fresh hell is this abomination". Clearly, we must apply a generous amount of both the smoke of the holy incense and the smoke of flamers to deal with this moral threat as efficiently as possible." Faustinius: "…Aight, you know what, fuck it, why not. Do whatever it is you think you need to do, I'll take care of the burning down everything in our path part. At least we'll make life a little bit easier for the Skitarii."

I'm gonna put thingies I found fun and interesting here. Might be spoilers to Mechanicus 2 someday down the line. I will be redacting the post as I go so no reblogs for now

NEVER have I been so nervous to play a character honestly. I'm already in the Lower City and never has my playthrough felt like such a wild ride. BG3 is already an amazing game by itself, but playing through the Dark Urge story has kept me on edge hoping my character doesn't make any stupid/gruesome decision on his own. And even a crazier backstory to pair with him!

Faustus was a gentle and soft lad of an oc that I had before, but playing him through the Dark Urge is giving me so many ideas to flesh him out more. Anyways, I hope you like his look~!
