#that githyanki pride may have gotten Shadowheart killed

[transkingcobra]

Wanted some new ref shots and decided to share some lol have a blorbo

My gith Tav Eche’al (he/they)

Chaotic stupid with enough gremlin charisma to get out of consequences ✨

He’s very curious of other humanoid races and loves devouring the “lore” of everything, but also has that sense of githyanki pride and toxic distancing. It isn’t until the tadpole that he makes friends, realizing he actually cares about the istiks he’s shepherding (much like Lae’zel, but far earlier). He also heavily relies on Lae’zel’s knowledge because he was absolutely not paying attention to as much revolving around ghaiks or battle strategy and is learning to regret it. (Some of those early-game gith dialogues are hilarious knowing they should know these things and it fit with his interest in other races that he’d favor learning them and not what he’s supposed to be paying attention to lol)

They became a warlock with the promise to be able to travel and learn all they want to about people. Still fleshing out exactly what that means for who/what his patron is, what they want from him, etc. because I honestly put zero thought into his character when making them originally and just decided this was my warlock run but I feel like it fits for his chaotic stupid ass to end up with a pact

(Also, enjoy Eche’al watching Dammon work, that fucking smirk and side eye sent me, I do not remember noticing that on my other runs, tho honestly I don’t have Dammon make anything usually anymore so I probably just forgot)

They definitely fool around with people but being gith doesn’t typically mean they’re trusted by others so he mostly has experience with other githyanki. Eche’al notices everyone in camp being horny (not complaining, they are too and take advantage of his open options when available) and when Halsin says he’ll help the group he immediately decided yes that means he actually has a chance to possibly take a giant man to bed and gods be damned they’re gonna do whatever they need to do to make it happen 😂 They absolutely see him as a sexual conquest at first but it doesn’t take long talking to Halsin for his caring personality to make Eche’al see him as something far sweeter.

By the end of act 2, they no longer want to learn about Halsin for the sake of learning and better flirting, but want to learn Halsin for the sake of truly knowing him. He’s turned down the rest of the party wanting to be anything serious with him, he doesn’t want that and doesn’t see any of them that way to begin with, and honestly starts getting worried Halsin may want to be “serious” someday too.

Come act 3, Halsin’s confession makes them a bit nervous at first but him explaining how he views his relationships quickly dissipates that worry. The open polyamory Halsin is offering feels like they’ve been given permission to address their feelings without being chained down by them. Eche’al is quickly somehow even more infatuated with his big bear man and more determined to be able to take the big bear man but learns saying “I am githyanki, I can handle it” does not make you able to handle everything.

Friend called him a gwink (gith twink) and now that’s all I think about calling them lol
