#OCShadow
Majority of my Durges tend to work on the trades or hobbies they've picked up post game when the nightmares wake them up. #OCShadow especially spends time working on his trades that are hobbies as well.

#OCTelra and #OCShadow both thrive in the darkness though things change for Telra, but I won't spoil why. However both are assassin rogues and both are redeemed Durges.
#tavqotd

Is your tav/durge afraid of the dark? Or do they revel in it?

Mal's more at home in the dark than out of it. Both figuratively and literally. It's kinder on his eyes and hides the bloodstains better.

While #OCShadow looks like a big dumb idiot, he's actually extremely intelligent, sharp, observant, and has several hobbies that take folks by surprise considering he's a Tief Elf redeemed Durge with a build only slightly smaller than Halsin and Karlach combined. 1/2
#TavQOTD Is there an aspect of your Tav/Durge's character you feel that for whatever reason you don't get to share as much as you'd like?

I sometimes worry I overplay Siraan's low intelligence for the memes, undermining her high wisdom and making her look way dumber than she actually is.

#TavQOTD Writer Highlight!!

Have you written or had fanfic commissioned for your Tav/Durge? Share a snippet or tag some awesome fic writers!!!

To all my Durges, Bhaal ranges from "Dad is a psychotic bastard" to "Worst nightmare" for some of my OCs particularly #OCDeklan #OCTelra and #OCShadow in the both category.

My assassin Durge #OCShadow is half Tiefling and #OCThyrin is a Tiefling Aasimar Durge. Technically Shadow's horns are much different, but I haven't found a horn mod with the right ones. Thyrin's are a much tighter curl in ram horn style (perfect for grabbing as Vin and Seb can attest to ;))

Nothing really significant behind my OCs yet, they're all a mix mash of non AI name generators for DnD races or random names I came up with. #OCShadow was a suggested "virtue" name for Tieflings and it fit him being an assassin Rogue for example same with #OCKailor aka Kai and some of the others :)
#TavQOTD
Time to drop some lore!
How did you come up with your Tav's/Durge's name? 😍

I read #AodhánOC 's name in a book, and when I googled it and found out it means "little fire", I was like... ok, that is perfect.

Pretty much most of my Durges are absolute wrecks. #OCShadow ends up adding to Trauma Mountain through a new villain in his fic "Bloody Soul Shadow Moons" as does #OCTelra in "Foggy Shadows".

#OCKai is pretty much desensitized to most pain unfortunately thanks to his rather intense and dark past as are my Durge OCs #OCTelra, #OCShadow, #OCThyrin, #OCArkanos, #OCRakos, and #OCDeklan and in Deklan's and Rako's case it's mental that they give to Loviatar (both worship her) and 1/2
#tavqotd Can your Tav/Durge withstand intense physical pain? 🩸
November 7, 2025 at 6:15 AM
Can do both: #OCTelra, #OCNeri, #OCDeklan, #OCLyra, #OCKai, #OCNazres
Can do one: #OCTalindra, #OCTalius, #OCJex, #OCTav
Fuck why are they in the kitchen?!: #OCThyrin, #OCShadow, #OCArkanos, #OCTheran, #OCRakos

Probably forgetting some OCs (I need to update my masterlist xD) but there ya go ❤️❤️❤️
#TavQOTD inspired by @mrsecho.bsky.social 's cookie question.

Is your Tav/Surge better at cooking or baking?
Do they suck/excell at both?

#OCShadow has a collection of pressed flowers. He's a 6'3 redeemed Bhaalspawn that is half Tief, half Elf and got more of the Tiefling heritage than the Elven heritage and vibes entirely on the "looks like he can kill you but with the right people is in fact a cinnamon roll"
#tavqotd

Tell us about a hobby your Tav/durge has. What do they like about that hobby? How does their LI or the companions react to finding out?
a man in a suit says everyone needs a hobby i suppose in a dark room

#OCShadow hated the little bastard. Always causing him trouble, messing up his groove by popping in at the most inopportune moments (Shadow is an Assassin type Rogue it is really hard to murder for dad when this little bastard shows up going "Master! What are we doing today?") and oft killed him.
#DurgeQOTD
Does your Durge like their Skeleritas Fel?

#OctavianOC doesn't care much for the fiend; he always thought him a spy for Bhaal.

#RashaanOC finds him disgusting; he murders him whenever he shows up, and Skeleritas enjoys it, which only adds to Rash's disdain for the creature.

#OCTelra, #OCShadow, #OCTor, and a few other of my OCs who are Rogues and Rangers are very stealthy. You won't notice them at all until your throat is slit or you got an arrow out of your chest (if you've done something heinous in Tor's eyes which if you have, she will hunt you). The rest nope nat 1
#tavqotd

How stealthy is your tav/durge?

What happens if they fail that stealth check?

Mal could sneak up on someone and they wouldn't notice until their throat was cut.

But failing a check once got him polymorphed into a small jumping spider by Halsin. To teach him not to sneak up on people.

This is a rough of #OCShadow, there is a lot that is not right with this but he is very cat coded. Loyal, scruffy, mostly feral, and particular about his hobbies that makes him happy.
August 8, 2025 at 2:05 PM
Looks like/actually is: #OCTheran #OCNerys #OCAsh
Looks like/could actually kill you: #OCMav #OCShadow
Looks like kill you/cinnaroll: #OCTor (she'll fuck you up no mistake but deep down she's a teddy bear) #OCTalindra #OCKailor
Looks like kill you/actually would: #OCTelra #OCTalius
#TavQOTD
Where does your Tav/Durge fall on the cinnamon roll scale?
I'm excited to find out lol!
July 10, 2025 at 12:38 AM
#OCShadow is a natural Rogue, his abilities beyond even Astarion's, but in future he's going to find a love for pressed flowers as much as he'll find enjoyment in carving them. He's an absolute hunk of a dork, utterly uncivilized, and a heart of gold hidden under those tortured eyes of molten amber
#TavQOTD
What's an odd little fact about your Tav/Durge that seems really random but you still feel the need to include in their lore?

#ElegysOC is allergic to pineapples.
July 9, 2025 at 6:31 PM
#OCShadow has no idea what a day off is. He's quite busy with embroidering and tailoring, leatherworking, and woodworking (another Redeemed Durge) and if he ends up taking time off it is because Karlach or one of the other Tieflings he knows dragged him out of his shop for a non work thing.
#TavQOTD
your Tav/Durge finally has a day off! how are they spending it?
Aly would go for a long walk around the city
Asta would be roaming the shops of Baldur’s Gate for a new book
Circe would be sitting in Elfsong, people watching
Pneuma would be catching up on some very much needed sleep
July 15, 2025 at 9:16 PM
#OCShadow is a redeemed Durge, #OCNeri is a Tav, and #OCMavrius aka Mav is unique homebrew sort of Durge. Many of these OCs also have fics or planned fics in Ellipsus :)
December 17, 2025 at 3:32 AM
#OCTheran would go with anything soft, sweats, shirts, pjs
#OCShadow would be similar to Telra
#OCNazres would be all custom outfits, but anything she wears would look poured on, but then she's my tallest OC with curves that could kill
#OCNeri would wear simple dresses
#OCKai would wear casual
