Name: Zerxes Sarbis

Nickname(s): Pyre , in reference to his work and to give him a name ( never gave his name to people he worked with ) , but by the companions ? Gale calls him “ Dusk Bloom “ bc he thinks it’ s romantic ( it is . ) Shadowheart probably defaults to calling him “ Kelemvorite “ and he defaults to calling her “ Sharran “ . It’ s sweet when they do it to each other but god help anyone who does it to them

Pronouns: He / It ( transguy )

Star Sign: North Star

Height: 6’ 2 ( w/o horns . Horns give a handful of extra inches )

Orientation: indigiqueer bisexual demiaro .. if you asked he’ d just default to queer

Race: Mephistopheles Tiefling

Romancing: Gale .. his pocket wizard

Fave Fruit: Cherries or Granny Smith Apples . He has a habit of eating cherries and keeping all the pits in one cheek until he’ s finished eating all of the cherries . Give him an apple and he’ ll demolish that thing

Fave Season: Spring , bc of the increase in rain . Put him in a thunderstorm he is At Peacd

Fave Flower: Peace Lily

Fave Scent: … Grave dirt . Um . Also Burnt Sugar , Ink , Tinmask Spores ( in careful doses ) and Rain . Ofc

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate: Coffee with Hot Chocolate mixed in . Bitter sweet

Average Sleep Hours: 4 at most .. he runs okay on that amount ( he rlly should be getting 8 but . Yknow)

Dogs or Cats: … He’ s scared of both and had very little interaction with either growing up . Scratch was the first dog he interacted with and His Majesty was the first cat . But , Tara is very nice to him . So he thinks he’ s a cat person

Dream Trip: hm . He’ s already been to most places he can think to visit .. Really , the last place on his list is the Astral Sea ..

Amount of Blankets: One . That he Will kick off in his sleep

Random Fact(s):

Due to the fact his right eye + the skin around it technically isn’ t his , sometimes it will blink / twitch out of sync . It is Disorienting

Regularly asks the companions what they want their possible final rites to be . When they first met , this was extremely concerning . Now , it’ s kinda comforting

Was a rather accomplished harp player as a teen , could probably pick it back up with ease if he ever found time

Huevember Day 20 ☁️ Another request, this time for @ddefr01 of their dnd character Zerxes!

Originally I had Ketheric and Zerxes set up to be like . Foils . Since I like having one of the Dead Three’ s Chosen to be a foil to my own beast .. and I thought that they would be pretty good for foils … Ketheric bringing his daughter back and Zerxes’ keeping his little sister from the grave …

But knowing the relationship between Kelemvor and Bane I’ m starting to look at how I want those two to play out … a mirror of their gods and they both agree to a deal , laying things out on the table .. Gortash having knowledge of Zerxes’ sister’s pact and how it affects him … mirroring the curse that Bane cured Kelemvor of … Zerxes’ being set to do Gortash’s bidding , them being warped ideas of their respective gods

But also . Zerxes does kill Gortash . Their alliance breaks down quickly and it does end with a showdown in Wyrm’ s Rock . They are not their gods , even if Bane has lost it . Kelemvor has not . Even if Zerxes’ is not his chosen , he will take down the chosen of Bane . He is more than he chosen of Bane … it was never going to be anything more than a fleeting attempt at peace . It was never more than a temporary pause to an ending they both knew was coming . They can echo their gods , but they are not gods .
