#“well that and the horrible infection I got from it but after like a tenday of running a 40°C fever it healed fine”

[invinciblerodent]

apparently act 3 is when I need to push through the desire to start playing a new character, because now that I'm there with Iona too, I'm struck by an intense urge to play this pretty asshole

particularly struck by the thought of how fucked his whole situation must be under that armor

like, being born to druids but with no magic of his own, growing up, he never really needed to learn practical skills like dressing a wound, or anything of the sort (what's the point if your mom can just wave vaguely in your direction and whatever issue you have is gone). But when he left and found himself on his own.... given how stubborn he is, he probably learned all his battle- and survival skills by pure trial and error.

I imagine he has a number of weird and wonky, poorly stitched and awkwardly healed old scars, all over his body. Boken many bones, gotten into weird accidents, and has gotten many a bad infection before, too- really, it's a borderline miracle that he still has not only all his limbs, but all his fingers and toes too.

No wonder that he has 16 con to his (currently) 17 dex and his 8 int; without being preternaturally healthy and hardy, he'd easily be a decade dead. nah, this boy is just rawdogging life, smashing his head against walls and hoping that they'll break before his skull does.

i've played him for only like an hour, and I simultaneously hate and love this asshole cockroach of a man so much already

#oc: petyr wildbrook #squirrel plays bg3 #I feel like every story he tells about himself is going to be met with at least one “..... okay how are you still alive” #like.... “one time I drank from a river and was shitting myself to death for a solid tenday- got better though” #“oh yeah this is just like that time I fell like 50-ish feet off a cliff- yeah I was fine just broke my leg” #“no yeah i just walked home and set it there; it was fine” #“hey wanna see the gnarly scar from when i first tried to sew myself up? yeah I got roaring drunk first; for anesthesia purposes” #“yeah that's why it's so wonky” #“well that and the horrible infection I got from it but after like a tenday of running a 40°C fever it healed fine” #“yeah i just had to reopen it to drain the puss and it was okay” #“oh it was NOT fun lol but hey it did work so who's the idiot” #Shadowheart will have to cradle his face in her hands and tell him very intently that his mantra #of “if it looks stupid but works it's not stupid” #doesn't exactly work that way when it comes to things like. healing. #plot twist it's not the change in her divine allegiances that turned her hair white #she just realized that this man is now officially her boyfriend and went instantly grey
