Carver and Shadowheart first crossed path on the nautiloid. For all he knew, he was a heroic paladin and she was a damsel in distress, it was only natural for him to come to her rescue and free her from that pod.

During the rare times he and Gortash got intimate, Carver was always bound and often gagged. The official reason was that so he wouldn't lose control and harm him, like he had done with his former lover. However, Carver suspected Gortash had ulterior motives.

Carver is quite fond of horses. Growing up, he often dreamed of owning one, of riding it heroically into battle, of travelling across the continent on horseback...
Unfortunately, like most animals, horses don't seem to like him back.

Imagine waking up on a mindflayer nautiloid on your first day on earth. All that Carver knew, was that he did not belong there, and even of that he couldn't be too sure.

#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver was made with a lust for violence and devoid of empathy so that he would kill for Bhaal, obedient and submissive so that he wouldn't turn against him, selfless and dull so he wouldn't want anything different for himself.

Carver is not at ease with PDA. He already has trouble with intimacy, the idea that others can see it, that they can judge him for it when he most likely is doing something incorrectly, makes him nervous.

All that Carver knows about the subject, he learned from Gortash, listening to him talk about sociopolitics and economics with unrivaled passion.

Carver's father was a thatcher and taught him his trade.
In the paladin academy, he also learned to mantain and repair his weapons and armour. He's not a professional blacksmith by any means but he knows his way around a forge.

Carver wishes he had a social life. He likes people, likes being in the company of others. Unfortunately, most people don't seem to like him back, for reasons unbeknownst to him.

Is this grey or blue? Just a cool toned grey, maybe.

Carver often dreams of blood, entire lakes filled with it. He dreams of mountains of innards, streets paved with bodies, made swollen and black by decay. Every wall is flesh, every building is made of torsos and twisted limbs.

#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver is always at the forefront of the battlefield, sword in one hand and shield in the other. He fights with single minded enthusiasm, striking his enemies down ruthlessly.

Carver likes candy and, when he can get his hands on some, he treats himself to it. It's one of the few things, aside from meat, that he enjoys to eat.

#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver is 33. His age is hard to guess. He doesn't look particularly youthful nor he shows telltale signs of aging.
Psychologically, he's a bit stunted, both due to the traumatic events he has endured and due to the huge chunk of memory he lost following Orin's attack.
[Cont.]
#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver can not only withstand pain, he likes it.
He suspected it was the case since, when in battle, receiving wounds made his blood boil and his loins stir as much as inflicting them. He had no idea it was, if not common, relatively normal until he met Abdirak.
#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver's dark side is, of course his dark urge.
It's not his fault; all of his companions know that by now. He was just made that way, by Bhaal himself: violent, bloodthirsty, incapable of empathy and so morbidly fascinated by the death and suffering of others.

Ziggy is roughly half a Carver 😭
Fun fact is that Ziggy, at 105 cm (5'3") is actually pretty tall for a gnome. But, at 202 cm (6'7") Carver is as tall as a pro basketball player. 💀
#ziggygoldenhand #durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver is not good at introspection, he's also not the best at reading social cues. Despite that, he understand that, even putting aside his urges, there is something wrong and unsettling about him that surfaces as soon as he stops choosing his words carefully.

Carver's memories of his foster parents are fragmented but his mother's face is sculpted in his mind. She was a tiny old woman, who smelled of vinegar and soap and she had the softest smile.

#durgecarver #tavqotd
In the paladin academy Carver took up a strict grooming routine he still sticks to: he washes thoroughly, combs his hair, keeps his nails clean. He doesn't understand the concept of modesty and he's used to wash in front of other people.
[Cont.]
#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver and Shadowheart often spend time alone at the edge of camp. They either drink in companionable silence or chat for hours. She's the only person Carver feels comfortable talking to, the only one that doesn't make him feel like he's constantly saying the wrong thing.
#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver's father was a thatcher, his mother was a tavern maid. They worked long hours and still had little money to spare. For Carver, that was normal. He had his basic needs taken care of on most days and didn't ask for more.
[Cont.]
#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver's parents were poor, had no other children and they needed help, so he didn't receive a formal education until he joined the Paladins, at the age of 14. He wasn't a bright student but he tried. Focusing on studying helped distract him from his dark urges... for a while.
#durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver was left by Sceleritas Fel on his adopted parent's footsteps, in the lower city of Baldur's Gate. He was quiet and well behaved, plump and extraordinarily cute with his whispy platinum blonde hair and big, round chocolate eyes.
#durgecarver #tavqotd
Ziggy and Carver do exists in a shared universe with @blatterbury.bsky.social's Garrik.
Ziggy is a leader, Carver is a loyal follower, so they work well together but they're not exactly close friends, mostly due to Carver's introverted personality.

#ziggygoldenhand #durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver looks his best when covered in blood but how does it suit Ziggy?
#ziggygoldenhand #durgecarver #tavqotd
Carver is...
