Hi babes, I hope you're having a good day! For your ask game:

🐱 and 🦐

HAHA GET BOOPED BACK >:)

Anyways, Hi Chris! (Is it ok if I call you Chris?)

🦐 - tell me about a character or story that is giving you shrimp emotions right now

omg SO, I'm still very emotionally invested right now on Thurak, my dearest half-orc barbarian cus I'm still working on his story and properly writing it down, maybe do some comics on events I consider happen in-game but don't happen actually cus they're innately tied to his backstory (So character interactions, fights and stuff)

So Imma just write down a short-ish summary of his backstory just because I have to let it out somehow, it is consuming my brain like a tadpole (I am also severely breaking canon on some parts, probably)

Draft of Thurak's backstory under the cut

So Thurak was born in the surface (probably Waterdeep), son of a human man and an orc woman, they were happy as a family... for just 2 years.

Yeah so turns out a criminal organization (specifically the Iron Ring) had an eye on them and Thurak got snatched very young because of that. When he was about 2 years old he was brought to Skullport in the Underdark where he was raised by one of the high commands of the Iron Ring, a male drow whom is currently unnamed. He was tasked to raise him and turn him into an useful asset for them

This drow was his father figure growing up, teaching him how to speak and how to read (So Thurak's main language isn't common, is drowidic and undercommon), acting as a somewhat loving parent for him

His father introduced him to the concept of an arena the Iron Ring had to get him interested, slowly manipulating him to make him believe that he wanted to participate, and when Thurak was older his father started to get him to train to actually go into the arena

And Thurak did it ever so eagerly, becoming and absolute beast and somewhat of a star in there, earning the title of 'The Skullcrusher' (Because he was/is able to do that)

The Iron Ring is known in the Underdark for their slave trade, and in my version they use this arena as a showcase for some of them

His father actively tried to keep him away of all this slaves, mostly out of fear that they would undo all the hard work he put into manipulating him when he saw their condition (cus he lied to Thurak telling him that every warrior chose to be there)

Unfortunately he couldn't stop him and he became friends with someone there, and, well, Thurak told his father about his friend, father went "Not in my watch" and to be a lil bitch he arranged a deathmatch between the two of them

Thurak is alive so you can imagine how it went

Back at home he returned to his father absolutely fuming, basically screaming at him how he could let something like that happen, how dare he let something like that happen, father just responded like "Take it as a little lesson, don't get close to those people, now now, join me for dinner," Thurak was obviously enraged by this, still screaming at him, so his father threatened him that if he didn't behave he would throw him with the rest of his "friends" as he put it

Thurak snapped at him, almost punched him, got stopped by one of his father's bodyguards and he was, in fact, thrown with the rest of the slaves, telling him that he was very disappointed of him and to take this as his punishment. Thurak went from living in luxury to the slumps basically

He was bitter and angry and sad, he had, so many conflicting emotions at that point. There he met more of the fighters, and they slowly but surely started making a break out plan

Some time of planning passes (could be months could be a couple of years) and with Thurak's knowledge of the arena both in and out they managed a plan to break out and leave Skullport and the Underdark for good

Long story short, they succeeded, not everyone got out but most of their team did

So they returned to the surface, becoming something akin to a caravan, travelling from city to city, Thurak became one of the main protectors, he had to put to use that strength for something

They unfortunately were in Baldur's Gate at the time of the Nautiloid snatching, so Thurak (and other people from the caravan) got taken

This is some in-game event notes (This is Thurak as a companion stuff basically):

Very minor notes, his main objective would be to find the other people who got snatched, slowly finding out along the way that for some god forsaken reason the Iron Ring got somehow involved with the cult of the absolute (through the underdark slave trade)

His 'final boss' would be his father basically, still working on that interaction

He canonically is a wild magic barb and there are some lore stuff that made me point to his magic surges being probably netherese magic

Mostly cus Skullport is built atop netherese ruins and the tadpole probably awaken some residual power Thurak was carrying with him

SO YES, that is all my notes from Thurak's backstory

He is making me go absolutely mental I love him sm I need to do more stuff with his story (as in write, art, etc.)

Anyways thank you for the ask! I love talking about my silly (sometimes not so little) guys!

Hello!

Seeing you answer the "Is your Tav more of a speaker or more of a listener" I just saw that Adamski is a yapper

Thurak is also a yapper so ajdlajfkljd what would happen if they got stuck with eachother? Would they just constatntly interrupt eachother? sjdkas

LET'S LET EM YAP!!

I feel like they would sound like they're speaking in a language of their own. 🤣🤣 They'd probably get really excited and talk over each other a bunch, but somehow they'd still understand everything LOL.

#YAY I'm so happy I finally got to draw Thurak!! Such a cutie I hope I did him justice!! #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 Tav #tav oc #dnd oc #Adamski Tag #Ask #My art #my stuff

My beloved half orc barbarian and second in the set of me trying to do gifs for my characters

Coming all the way from Skullport, The Undermountain, he just wants to go live a normal life, after a rough childhood he became part of a caravan where he had been living peacefully travelling from city to city until he was taken by the Nautiloid where he had to head back to the last location he was with his crew, Baldur's Gate

Sergil | Thurak | Davhomin

This is inspired by two posts [insp. 1] [insp. 2]

14 with Thurak (hope I spelled it right)

Hi! Thank you! You did infact spell his name right so!

14: What hobbies does your Tav have?

His hobby is searching for a hobby lmao

After finally having a more peaceful life he's been trying lots of things, he tried to play music, making flower crowns, taking care of plants, and even he asked Halsin to teach him how to whittle with varying degrees of success

The only thing that he kinda has going on with him is collecting rocks

He sees a pretty rock and he will pick it up jdskanhkj

#Tav: Thurak #Thank you for the ask :D #This is specifically something I've been questioning a lot myself #So thanks to this ask I finally sat down to actually decide on something #He collects rocks because I used to collect rocks when I was a lil kid haha #tav asks #baldur's gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 tav #bg3 fanart #tav #EliGoArt #The Taverns Staff
