so, fun story, when i was making Mercy i was worried about him being too similar to Solstice
SO one of the biggest key differences between them was how they handle their instruments.
If Mercy is disarmed he has no problem beating you over the head with his violin. This +

Solstice doesn't do vulnerable, he's gotta stay strong and never show weakness... Until this backfires and he has a mini-breakdown in Act 3 due to the stress of. well. everything.
After that, if he's feeling down he'll get Astarion's attention so they can sit together in private +

Solstice would've been a fighter, just as his dad was training him to be.
Even as a bard he's prone to running headfirst into fights he really should be in the back for

If your Tav/Durge weren't the class you picked for them, what would they be instead?
#RolimOC would be a sorcerer, like his mom
#VincentOC would be a Berserker, he certainly has the rage for it
#Durge #ElegysOC would've been trained by Bhaal's cult to become a rogue, an assassin

god what was i thinking with Mercy's original look. he looks so much better with short red hair
(i was aware at the time that the long blue hair was very Solstice which is a part of the reason i changed it)

Look... Solstice tries to be a good person. But he ain't above a little theft so if he finds a bag full of gold pieces he's keeping that.
If he finds out that it belongs to someone who desperately needs it, then he'll try return it. Otherwise, it's his now, sorry.

#tavqotd Your Tav/Durge finds a wallet/bag that is full of money, but there is also ID in it showing who it belongs to. Do they try to return everything or keep it?

Given his training from his dad, Solstice fits mostly into weapon.
Father dearest wanted a soldier for a son, and look how that ended for him.
(dead. if you've not read any Solstice lore. he killed his dad. yeah).

Solstice is a typical bard, if he isn't yappin', something's wrong.
He loves to make friends, but pre-tadpole, he isn't very good at keeping them. No fault of his own, he was just unlucky and somehow always managed to befriend people that didn't actually like him. Or he was +

What's something your tav/durge does to comfort others when they need it?
Mal might seem prickly. But when someone needs a bit of comforting he's usually there with a hug and an offer to get rid of whatever (or whoever) is upsetting his nearest and dearest.

Solstice is 37! so pretty young, especially for a drow/elf! He matured pretty quickly, due to his rough childhood and having to take on a parental role for his sisters at just 16. Buuut it's clear he's still really young when talking to someone like Halsin or Minthara.

Solstice's big brother mode kicks in and his hand stills on his lyre.
"Woah hey, you're not disturbing me. Come 'ere, tell me what's wrong? Or we could just sit? Maybe play a little?" he smiles warmly and nods his head towards the spot next to him.

#tavqotd Your Tav/Durge is sitting by the river when Orya approaches. She’s looking a bit teary eyed.
“Oh! I’m sorry….I didn’t realize someone was here…”
She starts to walk away. What does your Tav/Durge do?

Solstice's bias against elves developed as a result of growing up in a town mostly populated by elves that hated his mother for being a drow, and him and his sisters for being half elf/half drow. Which was then amplified when his elven father's attitude toward him flipped. +

Solstice knows how to take care of a baby. His youngest sister was only a baby when their father died, so he took on more of a parental role to help out their mother.

100%. The last creepy book was given to Astarion and not being able to read it himself drove Solstice mad. And hey, Astarion survived reading the necromancy of thay, so how bad can another potentially cursed book be?
this man's curiosity is gonna be the death of him

#tavqotd Your Tav/Durge has come across a spell book that seems to have come out of nowhere. It’s covered in stitches and looks overall unsettling. It’s questionable if it’s cursed. Do they take the chance and open it?

Did you, your Tav/Durge/OC's creator/handler/parent, decide who they would romance? Or did your OC choose themselves?
