Omg .. I have never considered myself intimidating but I'm glad I'm about as intimidating as this

12. Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Lee is actually one of my characters who gets a full playlist, though I’m still not happy enough with it to share all of it yet. But looking at songs that feel vaguely cohesive and that I can find more to say about than “yeah it sure is on there”:

How Bad Can I Be? - Anna

The cover that made me go “oh THIS is why so many people were obsessed with this song” (before realising “no I still hate the original actually”). It’s just so peppy and gleeful--this cover is a character who knows they’re a villain and is having even more fun bullshitting excuses to ruin lives. So. Perfect song for Lee pre-tadpole. Look at them, they’re so tiny and cute!! How bad can they possibly be?

Hope of Morning - Icon for Hire

This is The Act 2 song, as Lee struggles more and more with her urges and slowly returning memories and also, yknow, the constant downer of the Shadow Curse. Lee vibes a lot with Icon for Hire, who have a lot of fast paced, “fuck I’m so mentally unwell!” songs. 

Follow My Feet - The Unlikely Candidates

I’ve taken this one on and off Lee’s playlist a few times because let’s be honest, if they were following their feet, it would end in a massacre. They have to very deliberately choose to do good, or it won’t happen. But nevermind Lee, it’s fucking perfect for Astarion and Wyll, the two biggest influences in their life, who have quite different opinions on how they should be handling everything.

Mr Capgras Encounters a Secondhand Vanity - Will Wood and the Tapeworms

Song for the start of Act 3 when Lee is really starting to remember her past (and having Gortash and Orin tell her about it) and would really prefer not to thanks. You know what, what if she just ignores all of it and also tries to avoid letting all her friends find out about the Atrocities?? That’ll go well right? That’ll be fiiiiiine.

Get Well - Icon For Hire

Lee Continues to be an Icon for Hire fan. This one’s sung mostly at the Chosen Three (but also a little bit at the companions that are considering continuing the cycles of abuse and trauma) because oh my god do you three have any idea how unhealthy and miserable you are?? Do you have any idea how much better it is hanging out with people who love and uplift and support you???? …You really don’t, do you?

Dear Wormwood - The Oh Hellos

Religious and familial trauma let’s gooooo. The first half of the song doesn’t really quite fit for Lee--she was raised in the temple and always believed in Bhaal. But the vibes are there--she was a child once, and was capable of kindness and sympathy and she genuinely wanted what was best for her little sister, and Bhaal and the cult spent years stamping out everything that was good there and leaving a monster. And the second half? Holy shit here we goooo Durge song of all time. “I know who I am now / And all that you've made of me” oh my goddddd yessss “I want to be more than this devil inside of me” sgdhjkl I am going insane. Yeah.

It’s Alright - Mother Mother

Great Baldur’s Gate song in general because this sure is a game about a group of fuck ups who grow to support each other into working past their mistakes! Great song for Durge moving on from their past and finding some peace! Last chorus is sung directly at Orin because we are ending the cycle of abuse here, and giving her the chance that Durge got too.

17. Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Uhh I mean again there’s the cycles of abuse theme but that’s more of a Baldur’s Gate motif than a specific Lee one.

4:mythical creature you think/believe is real?

Cmon man ghosts gotta be real. At least a 50% chance on this

7:what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

sting rays •w•

you seen those things? and you can pet them!?!

21:a number that weirds you out?

Doesn’t exactly weird me out, but 17 is annoying to multiply. or i guess 666 is never a good sign lol

3. Does your oc have any kind of crafting skills that either aren’t in-game or don’t have as much importance in-game as they would in real life? (For example, can your oc sew or weave, etc? Are they skilled in any kind of art? Can they make jewelry or work glass? Are they musicians? etc)

Skill is a strong word, lol. he can sew insofar as repairing his own clothes when necessary, and he has some experience with jewellery-making from his time with Edd in Balmora, when he'd help Edd with his enchantments. and he tried his hand at wood-carving when he was younger. He has trouble with fine motor tasks though and his hands tire easily, but he does like giving handmade gifts so he reserves any crafting for special occasions.

5. Answered here :)

10. How trustworthy is your oc? Would they ever change opposing factions?

The whole game lol so I know What Happens
