#tavqotd I very carefully chose who their LI was gonna be the moment I created my OCs so yeah, everything went according to plan.
On a side note, #AerinVrinn romanced Gale in her run but I ended up deciding she doesn't need a romance at all so there's that I guess.
#tavqotd I am pretty confident #AerinVrinn would be found where the Harper stash is in Act 1, just checking the surroundings over there while mending her bruises.
#tavqotd mentioned this various times but #AerinVrinn was my tabletop D&D rogue before BG3, the game gave me a chance to revamp my babe after the campaign got lost in the nothingness. She continues to exist outside the game, which is also why I decided she won't romance anyone "canonically".
#tavqotd
#Orlaith is kinda assertive, she gets mildly annoyed but focus on fixing things.
#AerinVrinn is passive-aggressive, but in the end still tries to solve the issue.
#Vael is like a baby that throws a tantrum, make a fuss and also doesn't fix the issue. Or solves it in the worst way possible.
#tavqotd
#Orlaith is a paladin so she's not a "pure" magic user, but doesn't care about others.
#Vael doesn't really have prejudices, she just thinks of the others as losers.
Funnily enough my only non-magic user #AerinVrinn has A LOT of prejudices against magic users, wizards in particular lol.
A note:
#Orlaith is bi and monogamous.
#AerinVrinn is bi and doesn't mind poly. Or casual sex.
#Vael is lesbian and insane don't fuck with her oh my god why would you want her.
#tavqotd #Orlaith has both Wyll and Karlach as her besties and biggest supporters.
#AerinVrinn bestie is Shadowheart, but Lae'zel also liked her and her strategies very much.
#Vael and Astarion are each other's biggest fan when it comes to behave in the worst way possible. And Minthara maybe.
#tavqotd For the entirety of Act 1/Act 2 #AerinVrinn and Astarion were each other's biggest hater, no doubt.
For #Orlaith I don't really know. Orin? lol
#Vael is a special case, she is very easy to hate but everyone just ignores her antics to live peacefully. #1 hater would be Zevlor though iykyk
Orlaith wears the basic human underwear from the game, in white.
Aerin wears the basic drow underwear, in black.
Vael? No underwear for this bitch. Nothing! Tits free all the time, no panties at all, she just slaps her camp clothes on and that's it.

I realized with this tavqotd that none of my main ocs is able to cook/bake lol.
Aerin in particular is very bad. Her taste buds are all fucked up she could eat burnt bread and call it good, she really has no skills in preparing dishes.
[ #tavqotd #aerinvrinn #bg3 ]
I tend to overfocus on Vael and Orlaith all the time and set Aerin aside, but with these prompts I saw an opportunity to give my drow girl some love. I realized I really do miss playing her in tabletop. I hope to share more of her in the future!
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Her smile is soft and barely noticeable, but when she smiles she does it honestly.
She does indeed have a more bitchy sarcastic smile, which you can see more often. You know, just drow girl things.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin dislikes very flashy colors, her eyes hurt to see them. She also finds gowns and skirts to be particularly ugly and uncomfortable.
As for attitudes, she dislikes very touchy, overly flirty people and manipulators - she had a hard time with Astarion.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Surprisingly, Aerin doesn't have any scar. She injured herself countless times, but always managed to heal the wounds fast enough to not have visible signs - also being mainly a ranged attacker, it's less likely she get hit.
Her heart tho, that is scarred af.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
I literally made a list in my notes long ago!
Aerin's backpack is full of only useful items, she's the only rogue that never stores trinkets.
Additionally, she stores important notes she founds around during the journey.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Oh god, I never thought about that. But when I played in D&D her she used to say things like:
"I am smart enough for all of us. Be grateful you have other useful qualities."
"How come you NEVER let me check for traps?! It's a miracle we're still alive."
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin is one to make sarcastic, witty comments all the time. She's very calm and composed, but also a bitch.
As for fashion, she really likes fancy detailed patterns. She only wears nice things in camp though, but the few ones she owns are high quality.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin never had a hobby in her childhood aside from stealing shit around lol. But! She grew to like potion brewing, alchemy, she is also skilled in sewing. Embroidering helps her relax her nerves and concentrate.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Despite the rough life, she finds the Underdark to be the most beautiful place. Aerin loves the flora down there, the mushrooms and weird (lethal) plants, the never-ending darkness, all of that is what she considers "beauty".
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin was so pissed when she found out the tadpole situation was a whole big problem, she hates focusing on things she doesn't care about or unwanted emergencies. She played it cool, but was infinitely annoyed by everything that was not her own quest.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin's quite the schemer and manipulator, but can lose her temper if kids are threatened.
She's also very secretive about her own life, so if someone insists too much in asking her personal stuff, she will point a dagger to the other's throat in no time.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin has enough knowledge in medicine to mend the wound nicely until they retreat to safety and get proper healing. She 100% has some weird concoction of hers to use instead of a potion.
But you can bet your ass she's gonna scold everyone for not buying enough supplies.
[ #aerinvrinn #tavqotd ]
I debated this for quite some time and I decided Aerin has a small tattoo on her wrist, the symbol of the pseudo-guild she joined when Marrus Vrinn "adopted" her. I still have to design that, but she always hide it with gloves so no one even knows about it.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin is the type to fake brushing it off, then spend the rest of the week sneaking on Durge to understand wtf is going on. She would spy on him. I think she would end up offering help in the end, but not before spending all of Act 1 and 2 being a distrustful bitch.
[ #aerinvrinn #tavqotd ]
Aerin was headed to Baldur's Gate when she got kidnapped, so the tadpole thing is just a nuisance to her. Her motive is to get to the city, meet Nine-Fingers and know her old master's location to have her revenge. The whole Absolute plot is just in her way.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Órlaith - "Mr Dekarios should've tried harder to get with her, she is lovely." *Astarion laughing in the distance*
Aerin - she appreciates her, my drow girl is a cat lady.
Vael - Tara is CONCERNED. Vael is a bad influence. She doesn't like her at all.
[ #tavqotd #bg3oc #orlaith #aerinvrinn #vael ]
Aside from being physically weak in general (that 8 STR hits hard man), she's very weak to children, especially orphans, she really can't help it.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin is naturally a sarcastic, distrustful person. She is very realistic and logic, very annoyed by overly optimistic or pessimistic people. She's cunning, which can be good, but sometimes it makes her irritating to others.
And yes, she's a friend of nature.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
Aerin is not a touchy person and barely shows any kind of affection. She's not into PDA at all. Probably the only time she displayed affection physically was when Shadowheart needed a real big hug after the House of Grief fight.
[ #bg3 #aerinvrinn #tavqotd #tavember ]
I mean...she grew up in Menzoberranzan and drow politics are...fun. lol. But she's not very interested in politics at all.
