Sleepy brain thought:

How would deadly bois react to playful/flirty boop on the snoot?(middle of the face?)

Would they turn pretty pink? If no, what would make them fluster?

QUESTIONS GAUNTLET YOOOOO alright lemme crack my knuckles for this one

All under the cut! Long responses teehee /pos

I suggest people to read through this too, you might get to know my Assassins more with these answers GRRR I love them

Playful Boop Reaction:

Sun - OHHHH MY BABY he would definitely return it but in a "what did you just do to me? alright, i'll do it to you too!!" kind of way.. flustered, not so much-- until he finally gets that the boop is less innocent than he thinks it is THEN get flustered

Moon - he would be FLUSTERED but keeps his cool nonetheless... (see Chapter 2). He would never initiate these things but once you show that it's okay to do that, he'll start doing it more frequently that you'll almost forget he's a deadly assassin with such a high body count... no blushies for the three boys tho but they do heat up when flustered. They're thanking the gods that they're wrapped up in clothing so it's not as obvious

Eclipse - hmmm... Assassin Eclipse is.. I think I've come to the conclusion that his personality is a mix of the duo so in this case he'd innocently return the boop at first until he realizes it's a flirty move or there's more to it THEN he would start initiating it frequently and never let you forget the day you decided to taunt him with such foolish, but nonetheless welcome, gesture

Getting Hit On:

Sun - alr I'mma just say it right here. Sun is dense (I love dense characters, gods bless them). And not in a cute and innocent way either, he just thinks that humans are easy to win over because he's encoded and has been trained with skills of speech in negotiation and persuasion. So if he gets hit on, assuming that the person doesn't know he's a robot as he's completely disguised, he would just think that he said something right enough for the person to think he's able to offer something that they're looking for from him

Moon - simply rejects the person. That's it. Bro's cold unless it's the person he actually likes (you)

Eclipse - equipped with the same negotiation skills as Sun and the allure that Moon has with his personality, he would most likely flirt with the person hitting on them and then reject them after like nothing happened. He's a player, to some degree. But not when he actually cares about the person

The Princess Getting Hit On:

Sun - Sun isn't really the jealous type but he CAN get provoked if done right (as in, a stranger blatantly flirting with the Princess right in front of him) and when he does, he would instantly grab you away from the conversation. No formalities whatsoever

Moon - heheheh (see Chapter 2). He gets more jealous than Sun but like how he usually would react, keeping calm and collected is his default. That's just his encoded skill in order to balance with Sun's somewhat explosive personality and decision-making. So in the instance that someone flirts with you during your outside training in the streets of the kingdom, he would firmly tell the stranger to leave saying there's more serious matters they need to tend to. He would even pass it off as just not wanting to waste any time so they can continue training even though he'd probably want to kill the man in his sleep at that point

Eclipse - oh.. hehe. I pray for a safe travel to the after life to anyone who flirts with you right in front of this Assassin. Although Eclipse's rationality levels with Moon's, that doesn't mean he'd let it stop him from resorting to... other measures

An Attempt On The Princess' Life:

Sun - hunt and kill mode

Moon - hunt and kill mode

Eclipse - hunt and kill mode

#food #majestic oppositions #thank you for the very long ask and the words of appreciation in the end! i read through it all hehe #i might respond slowly again bc im working on finishing this WH animation ive been working on for a while now lol #dont let my slow responses stop u tho! i'll answer as soon as i can everytime #cw violence

hiiiiiiiiiii sorry it took me literally 3 months to do this but here she is !!! my tav, vierynrae drisune — viera to her closest friends and vierie to her doomed-by-the-narrative boyfriends. disclaimer please immediately disregard her hair bc i still havent found a hairstyle OR fit i like for her, but since she would realistically change her look every 6 to 10 hours im happy just waving some selections of note @ u all <3

truly unfathomable lore dump under the cut (tw for physical assault and miscarriage)

she/her

209 years young <3

astarion romance with a generous sprinkle of dream visitor sexual tension for reasons i'll get into (tldr the emperor takes the form of her dead fiance bc they both know its the only form that could ever hope to get through to her 😍)

"seldarine" drow! formerly a lolth sworn menzoberranzan girly, now a well established and famed diabolist of neverwinter (we'll get into it lol).

nowadays shes lolth's no. 1 hater but — having regrettably served her pretty contentedly for 100+ years — she feels too alienated from the seldarine pantheon to truly consider herself a follower. she does toss a prayer eilistraees' way for good karma's sake every now and then, though !

fiend pact (of the chain) warlock ! outside of the power her patron offers her, she's relatively useless in a fight (ie no multiclassing for her lol). the majority of her skills are in leadership, social maneuvering and underhanded political subterfuge. forging her pact was a very deliberate and very necessary move from her perspective to like. add some bite to her bark going forward.

im saying that her level one feat (if the mod ever drops lol <3) is magic initiate: bard and while she isn't canonically a multiclass, she could very easily become one if her pact fell through.

she's canonically a noble background, though she could easily be mistaken for a sage. truthfully all of her interest in the arcane stem from political ambition, noble is the correct answer (and a background she tries to keep under wraps)

lawful evil alignment, bordering very close - and eventually transitioning - to lawful neutral. evil is a sort of unfortunate necessity from her pov right up until the start of bg3, but her character is more aligned to the Lawful part as opposed to the Evil part. she follows a strict code of professionalism, unscrupulous loyalty, and also sometimes "just business, sorry kid" :/ but outside of those circumstances she's as charming/kind/reasonable as they come lol

ok. whew. heres the full unabridged off the walls loredump. prioritizing her menzoberranzan history over her diabolist career bc otherwise i'd need a whole third month for this lol.

viera drisune (later taking the elven adult name vierynrae) was the 13th of 21 total children borne to mistress viciiva drisune, matriarch of the 17th house of menzoberranzan

only vierynrae herself and 2 other sisters actually survived to see viera's elven 'adulthood'. one sister was xaeszara drisune- the firstborn and heiress. xaeszara saw herself as an aspiring proxy of lolth, forsaking politics as she became utterly consumed with fanaticism and religious fervor. she perceived acts of heresy against her goddess in the everyday routines and familiar faces of her kin, and often took to culling her siblings and cousins in sporadic ritual offerings to the spider queen :)

arac'nene drisune, the 16th child and vierynrae's younger sister, also survived - specifically because she was just as deranged as the eldest. she didn't possess xaeszara's zealotry, but still relished in lolth's simpler tenets of chaos and slaughter. the two essentially allied together to pick off the other siblings and minor family members, arac'nene acting as xaeszara's attack dog against any she deemed undevoted to lolth. which was all of them, naturally.

vierynrae only survived because she clued in to the alliance early, and knew the only way to survive was to win the favor of their matriarch and mother, viciiva, by making herself an invaluable asset in all matters of house affairs. and she did! what she lacked in combat prowess she made up for in charisma and intelligence, and quickly earned the trust (and protection) of viciiva after overseeing several successful raids/assassinations of rival houses and improving their overall position in drow hierarchy. the other two siblings couldn't touch her without dooming their house's winning streak or worse, earning the mother matriarch's wrath.

for almost 70 years viera enjoyed the relative safety of her mother's protection, while being groomed by her into a natural leader. vierynrae's actions helped house drisune ascend the ranks of nobility until they were eventually named 10th of the great houses.

in all those years she dutifully followed the tenets of lolth, the only faith she'd ever known, until one day while skulking about in the caverns just outside of the city, she met kiryn'kel nathril , a handsome, bewilderingly sweet man whom she would soon come to learn was not only a seldarine surface drow, but also ironically a cleric of eilistraee, who would regularly venture deep into the underdark to save its denizens from the tyranny of lolth.

against all odds (and in spite of several dozen death threats and attempts viera would make against his life) they fell in love, and began an affair in secret that would last for over 15 years. during this time kiryn taught her about the surface; about sunlight and freckles and kindness and what an honest, earnest hug felt like. he was patient, and successfully de-radicalized her, soon even convincing her to begin aiding him in his efforts to undermine lolth and free any who might stand a better chance on the surface

try as he might, though, he was never quite able to convince her to leave menzoberranzan and marry him up in his home in neverwinter. she had too many ambitions in her own city and still held on to the drow superiority she'd been indoctrinated in to. what's more, she still held a stubborn, optimistic hope that she could miraculously change her home from the inside (while conveniently consolidating all her power and authority over the other houses, too, of course)

this didn't happen, obviously. vierynrae's family's suspicions were growing due to the subtle change in her attitude over the years, all culminating with her abruptly learning that she was pregnant with kiryn's child. she knew her child was a son, and that her house already held the two total male heirs allowed (ie: the two surviving men xaeszara hadn't murdered), and so she finally accepted kiryn's proposal and began to make bittersweet plans to flee the only home she'd ever known.

the plans were short lived, and the pair were inevitably caught by house drisune mere hours before they had agreed to leave. to avoid the shame - and consequences - of the truth getting out amongst the other houses, the matriarch viciiva allowed vierynrae to live, but only after cutting off her ring finger, confiscating its band, and forcing her to watch as kiryn'kel was publically and sadistically executed.

but this wasn't enough for xaeszara, who noticed during the execution that viera's hand hovered a little too long - a little too protectively - over her stomach. in her grief, vierynrae barely noticed her two siblings' whispers, nor when her mother was invited into its fray. the gravity of her situation only dawned on her when her mother bid her halt during the long walk back home, and asked her one grim question: "is it a male?"

her silence was the answer, and viciiva nodded, permitting xaeszara to push vierynrae down a flight of stairs carved into the stone. arac'nene was waiting at the bottom, laughing, to kick her nearly to death - more than enough to guarantee the child would never be born.

minutes blurred into hours, and vierynrae -grieving, raging, but mostly numb - knew her days in house drisune were numbered. she never went home, instead limping her way out of the city gates and on towards the secluded place she had first met kiryn all those years ago.

from there, she began bargaining, first to the gods - who would not answer a lolth-sworn - and then to the anyone in the nine hells who would listen. she screamed at the cavern walls that she was willing to bargain, and after three days, the fiend who would soon become her patron emerged from the dark. she offered up his soul to him right there in exchange for the power to raze the city of menzoberranzan and everyone in it, but the devil only laughed. "do you truly think your little soul is of equal value to that of the city of spiders?" he asked. "how many souls call menzoberranzan home, i wonder? thirty thousand - fifty? not to mention the wrath of lolth this tantrum of yours will inevitably bring about . . . why, that price alone is worth as many souls as you have hair on your head."

and with that, the terms of a pact began to form. a drop of infernal power for every act of service - and for every soul sent to the styx - tallied by the silver hair on her scalp. each deed's value would be measured in strands, turning black as the underdark itself to mark the progress of such an insurmountable price. once every hair had turned, she would know at last that the pact was complete, and she would be powerful enough to return to the underdark and attempt a final stand. until then, she would serve her patron in any and all things.

her first kill was her mother, matriarch viciiva. her patron was true to his word; as 17 strands of silver hair turn blacked, she felt an equivalent surge of power - just enough to make the weeks long trek out of the underdark and up into the sunlit lands, alone.

i hit the block text character limit oh god 🤪

and so her new life began. she navigated a hostile surface world with only her patron's whispers to guide her, eventually settling in neverwinter, in spite of a population vastly hostile to her kind. over the years, her uncanny ability to sniff out a desperate soul - and then cordially offer then aid - made her a recogniseable and accepted figure in the city, eventually putting her in the position to make a legitimate business out of it.

business flourished, and as her renown grew, so did her power, forever measured by her rapidly darkening hair. by the start of baldur's gate 3 she is formiddable — a diabolist and the right hand of her patron, feared and respected, secretly amassing every resource, ally and advantage she has at her disposal through low whispers and coded letters. all of it to pay the price of marching — one day, perhaps centuries from now — on menzoberranzan, and having the power to take it.

#oc: vierynrae #H. anyway #rushed the ending bc i got tired of reading my own words <3 KLFGDJKFG #butgod i am SO glad i can post this now. ive been so indecisive about certain names and additional details and still am but. fuck it we bal #arguably her hair would be a lot lighter than it looks in game given the nature of her pact will require like. at LEAST a century more work #probably more lol !#but aesthetically it looks so sick and i refuse to change it over semantics <3 #she and shadowheart going on complete opposite hair journeys means so much to me and im so excited to actually be able to talk about it lol #anyway thanks for reading ur so brave 😔 its going to take another 3 months for me to drop her fun facts lore probably but its been fun !
