Imagine this what if Francine and ashley dressed up in a cute outfit how big are the nosebleeds of ripper and the stranger respectively.

For Stranger, honestly, Ashley could be wearing a potato sack and he would still think she was the most gorgeous girl to ever exist. Truly a gentleman. But the fact that it's a cute 80's outfit definitely makes him a little more feral - a crop top and leggings to show off her toned muscles? A comfy sweater and bell bottoms that make her look like the girl next door? A party dress slip with knee high boots that would look so much better torn off on her bedroom floor? He's trembling.

Ripper is a lot more subdued, but only externally. He's not one to care much about fashion or intentionally provocative clothes. And yet...there's just something about seeing Francine all dolled up, hair down, relaxed in something that doesn't immediately swallow up her petite frame. He's the kind that would tell her "yeah it looks fine I guess" and then have to excuse himself to go punch a wall several times and come back like nothing happened. Suddenly he's feeling very inspired by his muse again. He needs to grab a canvas (or a cadaver) to express these raging emotions that he refuses to name.

Tav asks for you! General 1, 8 and 9, story specific 12, 15 and 17, and romance 1 and 12 for Roz?

questions from here

(Roz is transmasc and nonbinary, they/them pronouns.)

General

1. Where can your Tav be recruited? Are they first encountered on the Nautiloid, or in the Nautiloid crash region? Or are they not recruitable until a later act?

Hm... I'm tempted to say the player would find them on the nautiloid, but in the interest of not throwing another githyanki in there, I'll say the PC finds them for the first time later, on the risen road. They'll be cagey but with a high enough charisma, they'll tell the PC they were pretty sure this road led to elturel. Or maybe there's a brainlink tadpole moment and the PC can feel that they were heading to elturel, somewhere familiar to them. when it becomes apparent that you share their tadpole affliction and that the PC intends to do something about it, they consent to traveling with the party, if the PC is so inclined.

8. What do they say when the Player Character asks them to stay in camp? How about when the Player Character asks them to come adventuring again?

Roz is very non-combative when it comes to "orders", so while they think it's a bad idea to leave them in camp, they'd probably just do an "uh huh. I'll be here if you need me." When the PC asks them to rejoin the party, something like "About time. I was getting sick of standing around." if they're romanced, theyd switch to a softer "i would prefer not to, but if you insist," if they're asked to stay behind.

9. Does your Tav have any escalating conflicts with one of the other companions, like Lae’zel and Shadowheart’s knife-fight?

I don't think so. Roz prefers to stay under the radar. If they have a problem with anyone, they would rather keep it to themself. And since they're very good at taking cues from other people, I think they'd be good at keeping at the very least a working relationship with everyone.

(more below!!)

Story Specific

12. Is it possible for your Tav to be kidnapped and replaced by Orin? How is Orin's deception revealed? How do they react to the PC rescuing them in the Temple of Bhaal?

YES. I'm a sucker for the drama. How does she get caught, though? Probably by talking too much. Suggesting the PC does things before being specifically asked for an opinion, being a little too verbose and intense to really sell it. Roz is definitely shocked that anyone would come to rescue them, and would thank the PC the next time they're spoken to in camp. "I wouldn't have dared ask you to put yourself in danger for me. So, thank you. Your consideration is... appreciated." *looks away awkwardly*

15. How do they react when the Dark Urge first reveals their amnesia and murderous thoughts to them?

Roz: "Thank you for telling me." 1. Is that all? 2. You seem troubled. 3. You're welcome. Narrator: [Insight: Success] *They shift on their feet, their eyes turned skyward. They're uncomfortable, but you do not think it is because of anything you've said.* Roz: "Not troubled. I simply do not know what you wish for me to say. You know these desires are not normal or you would not confess them like this, so I will not deign to convince you that they are. However, as thoughts alone they matter little. The mind is full of things we may not wish for. If they trouble you, I would suggest not turning them to action. But do not fear judgement from me, either way."

17. If romanced, how do they react to the Dark Urge trying to kill them in Act 2?

"Ah. And yet, you passed up a very good opportunity to see me dead, so I like my chances. (More seriously) Tell me what you need, please." As always, Roz would first and foremost be concerned with Durge's feelings and waiting for the cue on what they want them to do in this situation. Afterwards, they'd ask for more details but in a way that more suggests that they're looking for a game plan for the next time their lover might get possessed by the murderghost that seems to live in their brain, and less as a judgemental, "you owe me an explanation" sort of thing.

Romance

1. Is your Tav a romanceable character? Are there any specific requirements to romancing them?

Definitely! But it would take some effort. I don't think there's specific requirements per se, but it would take some persistence: they're the kind of person who would take a few flirts before they acknowledge the PCs interest. They would definitely be interested, they just wouldn't be sure that the PC is right away, and would need some convincing first.

12. Free space! Share anything from your companion!Tav au!

Stealing from my long ass meta post sitting in my drafts: They won't autonomously talk about themself, but if the PC brings them in the party, they will occasionally make comments, and similar to Sten in DA:O when camp is set the PC can ask about it. I.e. they'll mention having been in this area before, or they'll know the history of something that a githyanki soldier wouldn't.... typically know? And the PC can ask about it and that's when they'd talk about themself. They'd be a very "you get what you give" companion. The more effort you put in to take interest in them, the more forthcoming they'll be.

Did you see the livestream? Theres so many good skins!

No, I've been traveling home today + dying + livestreams are boring in general lmao

But!! I did see the new skin collections posted on Reddit! I wanna be excited for blight!Pig but she looks kinda...lame tbh. Maybe I just need to wait for a higher rez and full body turn around.

[showrunnerihardlyknowher]

How do you get so many phenominal writing ideas???? Like so many people recycle the same trope over and over again in this fandom that every other fanfic/art is just...the same

I consume a piece of media and then I'm like "hm that was good but what if it was g/t"

Like that's not even an exaggeration. I watched the new Batman movie and came up with Nano/Negasonic. I watched a playthrough of Nothing Lives Below The Lighthouse and came up with Jasper/Deus. I watched Blood C and Neon Genesis and came up with Kumiko/Taiyo. That's kind of the joke as to why I call all my new story universes "[blank] rip off" because 90% of the time that's where I get my inspiration from

[wastelandhell]

so much stuff in 76 I want to convert... I’m sure most of it has been done already but I wouldn’t know where to find it. I’m too braindead to animate/rig weapons but outfits should be easy enough.
