#honour is a big thing for dragonborns and vix just took that and cranked it to 11

[ride-a-dromedary]

a random OC ask for you: what is your OC's favorite memory? also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?

I've finally got to this! Apologies!

Since I have BG3 on the brain, and I know you are quite the dragonborn Tav enthusiast, I'm going to answer them with my dragonborn OC Vixerion:

This grump here.

Vix's favourite memory was seeing a palace garden for the first time. He didn't come from a place that had gardens beyond vegetables, so when he left to pursue knighthood and was in the presence of bonafide royals and their properties, it was an entirely different world for him. Though he grew tired quickly of pomp and circumstance, what he never grew tired of were the acres and acres of walled shrubbery and flowers, plants and trees, all carefully cultivated and in harmony with one another. It was like...a fishbowl of an entirely new universe, which solidified to him that he was in a completely different world than the one he knew, and would need to start compensating to adjust. You'd often find him hidden deep in one of the labyrinths to read after his training was done, carefully avoiding crushing flower beds, and he became fast friends with the gardeners.

If he was left with a pouch full of gold...well, Vix is a goodie goodie noble person with a capital G. Almost to the point where it's can grate on people who don't know him. And while his moral compass has been a bit busted over the years and occasionally does not point north anymore, he still values his code of ethics and has a knightly sort of martyrdom about him.

As such, he would likely waste a good chunk of his time trying to figure out who this pouch belonged to, because it most certainly was not his - he never carries that much gold on him at once unless he were planning to use it all at once, so he'd likely be sent into a slightly frustrated panic asking around (and whether he believes most people's answers about it is debatable, but he'll do his best to play detective until he inevitably gives up). It wouldn't be too bad, though. Vix doesn't exactly know how to relax with no obligations - he always feels like he needs to be doing something useful or productive, and sitting on his hands makes his teeth itch.

If the gold pouch does happen to be his, or it was fairly given to him, he'll likely do the morality math - what that means is that he'll keep maybe a few of the coins himself - just enough to buy himself a meal (he doesn't like taverns or restaurants because the chairs are usually too small for him to sit comfortably in, but he'll gladly order and take it outside) and maybe a shiny bauble that catches his eye (being bored and having money for himself for the first time is how he ended up with his snout pierced; his impulse control has gotten much better over the decades, but the man loves a well inlaid opal or a nice handkerchief - and hey the hoop is still there, so he does maintain all of his decisions whether they were good ones or not). The rest will be dropped into any open cup or palm he can find, or he'll buy meals for his surrounding patrons, whatever he can think of to get the gold out of his pockets and somewhere else that it's needed.

#BG3 Musing #Jemi gets asks #vix is based on a long running DND character i've had for years i just tweaked him for game #honour is a big thing for dragonborns and vix just took that and cranked it to 11 #so he legit will just shower money everywhere with no ulterior motive other than well they needed it #it doesn't make me feel good about myself it's something that needs to be done #thanks for the asks! i don't usually talk about my ocs
