watcher as companion
you can find the prompts here, thank you @ariela-of-aedyr for making it!
If your Watcher, or other Pillars OC, was a recruitable companion instead of the main character, how and where would they be introduced to the main party?
in the first game, brianna would be found in defiance bay hanging around outside the goose and fox inn and would have a side quest for the watcher involving helping her deal with bounty hunters who are after her
in deadfire, she would be found trying to help the roparu in the gullet in neketaka and she would be part of the quest to introduce a better food source to the gullet
What would their companion quest involve?
in the first game, brianna’s companion quest would involve confronting the man that killed her parents in readceras. the watcher can either try to persuade her to handle the situation non-leathally or lethally, but either way the man attacks the party and he dies. the watcher’s decision changes brianna’s disposition in deadfire.
in deadfire, brianna’s companion quest would involve confronting a cipher she had befriended in her time in the deadfire. the cipher has resorted to using their abilities to force people to do things against their will and justifies it by saying it’s for the greater good. the watcher can persuade brianna to agree or disagree.
What traits would affect their approval, positively or negatively?
positive traits: dutiful, autonomy, anti-leaden key, kindness (especially helping those less fortunate)
negative traits: pride, racism, religious discrimination, cruelty, aggressiveness
Which other companions would they get along with, and which would they bicker with, in Party Banter?
brianna would get along with pretty much everyone in the first game except for durance lmfao. she would probably bicker with hiravias in party banter because they don’t see eye to eye on much, but she still likes and respects him. she gets along best with aloth, eder, sagani, and pallegina.
in deadfire, she gets along best with aloth, eder, xoti, and tekehu. she doesn’t want to get involved in the warring factions at play in the deadfire so the dedication maia and pallegina show to their causes makes her wary of them. knowing the truth about the gods would give her reason to bicker occasionally with tekehu and she wouldn’t always get along with serafen and maia.
Would they be romanceable? Would they end up in a romance with another companion, if both were left unromanced (à la Maia & Xoti)?
brianna would be romanceable. if both she and aloth were both not romanced, they would end up together.
Would anything make them leave the party, or would they be there for the long haul?
if the watcher did something incredibly heinous and against brianna’s morals, like sacrificing a companion to the skaen blood pool. or in deadfire if the watcher hit -2 approval with brianna she would probably just peace out lmao she’s got better things to do.

ALL THE NUMBERS FOR THE OC ASK
MAV NO
Okay I’ll just pick one of my COJ characters for each question here we go *cracks knuckles*
For my Crusaders of Justice series (currently about five books), we have-
Joan Ngo
Roxanne Chance
Lord Joseph of Alexandria
Daniel Wright
Rebecca Brandt
Alvin James “AJ” Brandt
Samuel Payton
Emma Payton
Willow Hawkins
And yes, this is my series based on my biggest Young Justice fanfiction, so see if you can guess which character resembles who ;)
1. How many different places have they lived?
Due to his royalty, Joseph was never allowed to leave the borders of the city of Alexandria. That didn’t keep him from sneaking out and travelling to the surface. He mostly used his powers to help out small towns on coastlines, but he is somehow always drawn back to the City of Los Angeles.
2. What is their dream vacation?
Rebecca wants to travel the world, see everything it has to offer outside of her family and her mother’s constant supervision.
3. What is their favorite color?
AJ’s favorite color is orange. Appalled by the lack of orange cars, he decided to make his own for his sixteenth birthday. He and Becca learned the mechanics together. and she helped him.
4. What is their favorite book?
Roxanne rereads her mother’s spellbooks over and over. It makes her feel like her mother is there to help her anyway.
5. Have they ever cheated on anyone before?
Joseph can’t help but feel like he cheated on Theolian by breaking up with him and traveling to the surface himself, and subsequently meeting his new friends and falling for other people.
6. Have they ever been cheated on?
Tom pretty much broke Emma’s heart after he sided with his uncle and told Walter her secrets.
7. How many partners have they had?
Joan is too scared to ever date them. She’s always afraid that what happened to her mother would happen to her. But thanks to Roxanne and their new friends, she’s slowly learning to trust.
8. What is their favorite food?
Willow loves spicy foods even if it makes her sick.
9. Are they a liar? Are they good at lying?
Daniel has an extraordinary poker face for someone who has never played poker. If the others need someone to cover them, it’s Daniel.
10. Introvert or Extrovert?
Sam is an extrovert, which makes him overwhelm himself nine times out of ten.
11. Have they ever been arrested and why?
Rebecca was hauled to the principal’s office for using the girls toilets on a terrible day where she just didn’t care anymore, but AJ helped her get detention rather than arrested.
12. Who would they sacrifice their life for?
Willow would die for any of her new friends. After all, they almost died for her. Multiple times.
13. What are their spending habits?
Emma tries not to let her mentor’s financial status go to her head, but she forgets sometimes that not everyone can get 50 grand at the drop of a hat.
14. Do they like hot or cold temperatures better?
Rebecca likes the cold because then it doesn’t get hot under her hijab.
15. Are they religious?
AJ’s half of the family is Jewish, Rebecca’s is Muslim. Sam and Emma are Christian, with some Hindi influences, and Willow and Daniel are trying to learn more about the spirituality of their ancestors.
16. If they could describe themself in one sentence, what would they say?
“It’s just me, your local bisexual street witch and her gay sidekicks!” -Roxanne
17. Do they have any overused catchphrases?
“Hello!” -Sam
18. What makes them laugh?
Not necessarily laughing, but seeing her brother and friends happy makes Emma feel safe and happy.
19. Have they ever lost anyone close to them? How did it affect them?
Willow misses her father and her memories of him, and she can’t help but feel like she’s lost the chance to really know her mother because of how distant Brianna became after losing her husband and daughter the first time. She wishes that her father had never sacrificed himself and that all this had never happened, but she doesn’t quite think that wish through.
20. Do they have a fast reaction time, or slow?
Joan has lightning fast reflexes. She will not let herself be caught off-guard ever again.
21. How do they react to praise?
Daniel is always a little surprised. He never got any form of positive reinforcement in the vault, so joining the football team with Joseph and AJ is really good for him. He’s a perfectionist, and he doesn’t hold back because of his training in the vault. The first time he messes up is a fumble during the homecoming game that costs them the final touchdown and he’s terrified of what the team will do to him, especially AJ and Joseph, because they matter so much to Daniel. He finally starts to understand how different it is when Nick takes the whole team and the cheerleaders out for milkshakes before Serene’s house party and tells Daniel especially how much he’s improved.
22. How do they react to criticism?
Emma takes a lot of criticism from Tom especially. Being with her friends helps her forget it, at least until she’s alone again and remembers what Tom has told her and how even her brother doesn’t accept her. (Yes, Tom is the abusive boyfriend the team is gonna save her from)
23. Are they indoorsy or outdoorsy?
Joan prefers to be outside. She feels freer that way.
24. What are their biggest pet peeves?
Rebecca’s is having her gender disrespected (She’s a trans girl)
25. Do they have any type of handicaps? How do they manage them?
Sam is autistic! He gets overwhelmed very easily with crowds, small spaces, loud noises, and certain touch sensations, and he hyperfixes on birds and computers, because they make him think of his parents and family. Emma is his crutch, his main link with reality, but he really connects with AJ and Roxie too, and he starts to not rely on Emma too much. He and his friends are all learning more about how to work with his autism every day.
