hi pls tell us more about verin and your oc 🥺🥺
Oh boy I would love to! (honestly I may have to make a series out of this because I have no idea where to start)
So a little backstory on myself and Verin-
Back in the day when Verin was first announced I was on the FJ discord and we were live watching an episode when someone mentioned Verin. A friend of mine very enthusiastically then wrote the legendary typo "VERN!" which I, of course, as the resident meme lady had to run with. Eventually it came to Vern Thelyss being Essek's dad who was just Essek but with a big mustache, and also this gave birth to my undying love of Verin Thelyss. We all agreed he was hot. TGtW said he was lawful good and I was a goner (I'm a sucker for a knight in shining armor what can I say)
I've become a part of a D&D group who do mini campaigns set in Exandria. The newest one-shot campaign we were doing was going to be political intrigue set in Rosohna years after the end of campaign two. So I bring back my Half-Drow Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, Xinthe, who I had played in a previous one shot. Her backstory was basically that she was taken as a child and trained to be an anti-scourger by a previous Shadowhand who was also banished for treason (lol). She had been involved in a PC love triangle last time, but the guy died (rip) and pretty much ever since then our group had been joking that someday she would just go back to the Dynasty and end up with Verin.
WEELLL... Turns out when this Rosohna campaign pops up it just so happens to be DMd by the very same friend who said "VERN!" and set off my whole obsession anyways. So she very graciously decided to sweep me off my feet with a lvl 15 Echo Knight Verin Thelyss who is now the last remaining member of his family living in the capital as their entire den has been tainted and fallen with Essek's treason. He's a himbo, yes, but he's also a Man Written By A Woman and an absolute treasure. (He cooked for her y'all. Lizard Alfredo *heart eyes*)
They met at a ball, and then fought some cultists together like the BA battle couple they are and yeah so now they're dating. We're actually wrapping this campaign up TONIGHT so yeah we'll see how things end up. Last session we had some pvp and my girl got assassinated but she got back up and used the spell bead that Verin gave her from Essek, so Hot Boi himself teleported his lil bro in to save his gf and I was vibrating.
(We also did a lot of text based RP for this game and most of the Verin x Xinthe content is in there so I'm pretty tempted to just edit it up and post some of it on like AO3 or somthin.)
