#tavqotd This is a short, fragile elf, even by drow standards. His height is approximately 150 cm. His skin is an ashen shade. His face is androgynous, crossed by a thin, ugly scar running from the left temple to the right lower jaw. The skin is dry; thin lips are covered with a dry crust.

#tavqotd Give me references for your Tav/Durge!! (if you want to) (Figured this is the easiest way for myself to get a lot of info in an easy-to-find-later place.) Dalamus is 5'11 btw & usually grumpy! His brother, Nilaufein is.. idk stupid tall for a drow, like 6'3 or smth & generally cheerful.

#tavqotd Pain. Physical pain, emotional pain, sweet pain, agonising pain, pain that breeds stubbornness, pain that cradles one in its arms like a mother, pain that overwhelms, pain of memories, pain of shame, warm pain... Pain, whatever form it may take, is the main source of endless fuel for Xal.

#tavqotd #durgeqotd It lingers What lingers in the deepest part of your tav/durge's mind? Is it good or bad? Is it recalled by a memory, smell/scent, sound, or other?

#tavqotd You won’t let Xal absorb the tadpoles’ power or become illithid -> Xal will leave the party and try to kill you. You betray the Emperor -> Xal will immediately betray you, leave the party and try to kill you.

@caffeinatedtief.bsky.social · 2d ago

#Tavqotd What would cause your TAV to leave the party almost immediately?

#tavqotd Well, he’d already found himself with literally nothing but himself on two previous occasions. On one occasion, Xal was left with nothing but his broken armour and a broken blade. Apart from that, he had nothing else.

#Tavqotd #Jessasks How would your Tav react to suddenly having everything materialistic taken away from them? Carmine I think would find a way to deal, things are things and they can be replaced, until it comes down to his lyre. His Mother made that, the strings seem like normal strings but>

#tavqotd Electronic 🖤 I can’t say which subgenres are best suited to Xal, because I’ve found tracks that suit him in many of them. www.youtube.com/live/plkpGLW...

#tavqotd #durgeqotd What genre of music best exemplifies your tav/durge? This is what music speaks to them, not what they listen to.

#tavqotd 1. The very first truly ‘terrifying’ fear that Xal experienced was entering into a pact with Moander. It was terrifying not only because he found himself face to face with a god-like, corrupt entity,

Current state of my writing 😭🤣

#tavqotd Well… Depends on how you look at it. Past, future, before, after… all the same in the grand scheme of things if you have enough eyes. In truth, the disguise the Emperor… chose (?) is part of a time travel paradox. He found a singular clear memory in Ayumu's mind, a memory from… the future.

#tavqotd #durgeqotd Dream companion Your tav/durge's dream companion who are they? Are they a random figure, or are they significantly tied to their past?

#tavqotd (Amusingly enough, I was JUST writing about this in my WIP chapter, lol) Generally a more or less terrible first impression, heavily depending on who the stranger is. Ayumu is a child of the Far Realm—the descendant of a Fallen Solar, to be precise. A Gith who *chose* to become Illithid.

#tavqotd Xal's entire body was one huge scar. Extensive burns? Scars from an autopsy? Self-harm? Scars from torture? More than 90% of his body was covered in scars of varying severity. Over time, he learnt to love all his scars.

Does your original character have any scars? What about amputations? How did this happen to them? How do they feel about them? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

#tavqotd Something like that, but much worse. 😂 He can’t draw or carve pumpkins. Source: www.amievilligerharris.com/blog/2017-ja...

Shandora 🔞@shandoraexplorer.bsky.social · 4d ago

#TavQOTD, spooky season edition: Your Tav/Durge/OC is partaking in a pumpkin carving contest. What are they carving? Bonus: Are they baking a cake, or making something else with the insides they're scooping out of the orange vegetable? (I mean the pumpkin flesh! Do NOT eat the cat.)

#tavqotd Xal generally enjoys physical contact with those he trusts. For him, such interactions aren’t quite as important as they are for his brother, but he finds them VERY pleasant. Сuddles are simply part of something far more monumental.

#tavqotd Quite shitty… most of the time. He’s a former Drow and now an Illithid. Both of these races are deeply hated. He can, of course, use disguise to make a less shitty first impression, but even with a disguise, thanks to his "lovely" character, he makes an almost exclusively SHITTY impression.

#tavqotd I’ve written loads about how much Xal means to me and how he’s really helped me, and blah blah blah... But there’s one thing I could write about forever – the fact that it was Xal who brought me together with this wonderful, lovely person - @ashlynnaska.bsky.social 🖤

I know it's been asked before, but I'm reusing this question bc I feel it's needed. #tavqotd #durgeqotd Share something positive about tav/durge. Or share some positives you, the creator, are experiencing.

I draw and write for me. Visualizing my feelings is it's own respite given the times, and also a place to belong for when my interests and goals don't really fit anywhere else. Working from a fully authentic place with original, personal content can be a lonely venture. #pretendpanel

#tavqotd He himself, the world, the universe, freedom, life, duty… none of that matters to Xal when it comes to those he holds dearer than anything else. Xal does not understand why he is so unreservedly willing to give so much for mere mortals,

#tavqotd Tar - Gusli. I can’t explain why. It’s something on a deep, subconscious level. Perhaps it’s because the gusli sound extremely tender and melancholic to me. It depends, of course, on what the musician is playing, but still. Probably my favourite instrument. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaFs...

#tavqotd Something like that, perhaps? Xal generally enjoys reading a variety of genres, but can’t stand romance in any form.

#tavqotd Xal considers compassion to be a sign of weakness and vulnerability. It is strange to show compassion towards victims when you are a predator… on the other hand, he knows full well that he is certainly not without this trait and, much to his own annoyance,

#tavqotd Compassion What does compassion look like to your Tav or Urge? Do they consider themselves compassionate?

#tavqotd Xal is desperately trying to gather up his guts, which have spilled out all over the crash site. At the same time, his eye begins to ache so terribly that his mind becomes clouded and he can no longer tell the difference between his own guts and Nautiloid’s.🤔 It’s definitely not much fun.

#tavqotd Before, like all elves, Xal couldn’t sleep. Instead, he meditated. But after his ceremorphosis, he began to sleep… standing next to the bed, which irritates the Emperor just a little.

✨Moonwitch✨@1baddmoose.bsky.social · 3w ago

vp for a Qotd how does your character sleeps. Amanduh is wayyy too exhausted after work and passes out hard, definitely snores, drools, tosses and turns in his lil bed, favorite position is face down, dangling over the side . #dndoc #dnd #ttrpg #BG3Vp #VirtualPhotography #Amanduh #halfOrc
