I like how he has a half-torn ear, I don't see that often in designs of him, he never has enough scars. I understand he's a great fighter but he isn't invincible.

1, 37, 45 for dirge?

every time someone else wants to watch me beat content out of dirge pinata style, an angel gets their wings 💜 thank u anon for helping me bruise his ribs uwu

1. What’s the lie your character says most often?

Stretching the definition of "says" here to mean "concept conveyed to another person", the lie Dirge peddles the most often is that he's a trustworthy compassionate individual. He isn't keen to act as such around his friends, because he loves them enough to be genuine, and in his Bhaalist days it was an effort unbecoming of his station. This usually means that in private, he comes off as a deeply weird murderous individual only barely constrained by social decorum because thats what he is. The failing is in assuming that this is the ONLY way he's capable of being.

Dirge is exceptionally proficient in putting on a performance of himself as charming, pleasant, down to earth, defanged and harmless. He'll keep some general eccentricities because they can be used to accent that performance, and an element of genuineness makes the deception go down smoother, and this is a skillset he honed in his years of being an utterly cracked nihilistic death priest who otherwise seemed incapable of basic normal pleasantries like smiling warmly. Its easier NOW than its ever been before, but his lethality hasn't lost even a whisper of its deadly edge. He plays this performance whenever he feels it benefits him, primarily when expecting to interact with someone and get something useful out of them multiple times, where he isn't invested enough in their personhood to go to the effort of being both friendly AND sincere. In this regard, seeing him shift to being openly more unhinged towards someone he otherwise does not care about should be perceived in the manner of a dangerous animal dropping its camoflauge to start flashing bright venemous colors: *I am capable of killing you and I no longer need to hide that from you*.

When it comes to strangers, his honesty is far more dangerous than the well crafted lies.

37. What’s a secret they haven’t told serious romantic partners and don’t plan to tell?

It ended up coming out anyways to Minthara, but Dirge was deeply, viscerally terrified of Bhaal and the influence the god held over his actions, his safety, and his personhood. His experiences with the Urge throughout Act 1 and the party's reactions to them resolidified a compulsion he struggled with for most of his life as a Bhaalist: these are his problems and his issues and to bring them to others awareness or to ask for help is a moral failing he needs to atone for through suffering, and if he struggles to conquer them on his own, that simply means he was just weak. When his relationship with Minthara properly starts in Act 2, Dirge had found a comfortable position where he felt in control of himself and capable of handling the Urge's semi regularly, and had begun making his peace with his new life as an amnesiac who most likely wasn't going to recollect the person he used to be. Its from that foundation that he romances Minthara, and it's that foundation thats rocked to its core when he tries to kill her in the night and then discovers hes a bhaalspawn, both of those occurrences happening shortly after hunting Ketheric to the depths of Moonrise Towers and discovering what had happened to him in the mindflayer colony below. Because Minthara joined after that habit had been established, but hadn't seen it be triggered, she wasn't in a position to address it and stop that mindset from fully taking root, so when Dirge is blasted by these multiple sources of trauma and stress, he clams up completely, with zero intention of informing anyone beyond information they need to stay safe from him

Dirge keeps secret every private fear, every personal act of violation inflicted on him by Bhaal (he gets the heart stop dialogue from the chapel), every nauseating Urge, until it draws someone else into the line of fire, and even then he emphasizes that he's going to be the one to work on it and he's going to be the one to fix it. With Minthara, the compulsion feels even sharper because Dirge is well aware that Minthara values independence and self sufficiency, so in addition to not wanting to risk her safety, there's the addition of not wanting to come off as weak willed or powerless, even if thats how he feels. If Dirge had it his way, he'd never confess those secret anxieties, he'd just try to handle it himself until it either got fixed, or stabilized into something he could suffer through regularly.

Its probably for the best he isn't allowed to do that, for him and for Minthara

45. What’s something unimportant / frivolous that they hate passionately?

I answered this one already here! But i'll try for a second one 🤔

I think something completely stupid that drives Dirge up the wall is people presuming a lack of knowledge in him without any indication of it. Its one thing if Dirge professes not to know something and then for that to be assumed to continue to be true, because his sporadic recollection isn't particularly reliable or predictable, so even if he recalls knowledge *later* he still understands someone assuming otherwise since he's given them reason to think so.

Right out the gate though? Oh fuuuuuck you. Every time Gale opened his mouth about being the magic expert, presuming Dirge had nothing to contribute to the discussion, Dirge seethed hard enough im sure it had a visible aura. Gale only tried that twice, and then wisely stopped rocking THAT boat.
