Gunza's limits are very hard to find. Some people (Haarlep) like to test them to try and get under his skin. He's from the Abyss, he's got a decently high pain tolerance for a cambion.

However he can be easily upset if his parents are brought up in certain ways. He is very sensitive there.
#TAVEMBER Day#21: Limit

What is your Tav/Durge’s limit?

This can be their emotional/mental or physical limit, hard boundaries, situational/social/etc.

What pushes them over?

🍄‍🟫: Have any of the companions or NPCs pushed them to or beyond their limit?

Gunza does not have any tattoos. He doesn't really have any desire for any. He likes body modification through piercings.

If he were to get a tattoo it would probably be something like Mephisto's seal. It would have to be for a good trade. But that would also make things even more awkward with R.
#TAVEMBER Day#20: Tattoo

Does your Tav/Durge have/want tattoos? What is their significance? When do they get them? Are they symbols, do they cover scars, are they magical?

🍄‍🟫: if they do not have any - what would they get if they were going to get one?

I've discussed this a bit in previous days so I will focus this one specifically on Companion!Gunza.

The tadpole severs his connection to his patron and he loses almost all of his powers, including the ability to leave his teifling disguise and take his true form.
#TAVEMBER Day#19: Motive

What is your Tav/Durge’s motive for the events? What keeps them moving?

Think like a desire to see home again, to rule the world, etc.

🍄‍🟫: what is their secondary motive? This would be something of lesser extent like helping their LI.

If there is one thing that the Underdark is good at, it's culling the weak. Gunza had to kill his weaknesses early in life.

However he wasn't able to kill the soft spot he has for his mother or the hatred for his father. Both can be used to manipulate him.
#TAVEMBER Day#18: Weak

What makes your Tav/Durge weak?

This can be physical, emotional, morally, sexually, etc. Think like a physical shortcoming or something simple like a weakness for a type of food or activity.

🍄‍🟫: What makes them ‘weak in the knees’?

#BG3 #TavQOTD

What is Gunza's nature? He's a lustful, hedonistic, evil creature. He's relatively chill about it at least. He just doesn't let things (most things) get to him. So I guess that's part of his nature as much as his demonic urges.
#TAVEMBER Day#17: Nature

What is your Tav/Durge’s nature?
[Think human nature]

Are they naturally envious, optimistic, pessimistic, cruel, melancholic, etc?

🍄‍🟫: Are they a friend of nature/the wild world itself?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 17, 2025 at 10:19 PM
I feel like I need to apologize for Gunza but growing up he saw skimpily dressed men on the laps or at the feet of their wives or masters. In the Hells, it goes even further.

He doesn't understand (or tbh care to understand) that some people don't like PDA. It's very tame to him.
#TAVEMBER Day#16: PDA

How does your Tav/Durge feel about PDA? How do they react to it from their LI? Do they prefer to initiate or for it to be spontaneous?

How about from friends/family?

🍄‍🟫: What is their limit for PDA?

#BG3 #TavQOTD

Oops a day late but it's okay. So I touched on this a little in "Social Class", but Gunza is both from a noble family and working directly under an Archdevil. He's not naturally great at politics but he does have to pay attention for his own survival.
#TAVEMBER Day#15: Politics

Does your Tav/Durge participate in politics? What politics do they stay up to date on?

What was the political climate in their upbringing?

🍄‍🟫: Does their LI/Friend engage in political conversations with them?

#TavQOTD #BG3
November 16, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Gunza was raised tradeless. His mother's family were nobles who let him basically run wild after all.

Not to say he is skilless. Ignoring the obvious job of mercenary, he would make a very skilled guide especially for exploring the Underdark.

But for standard trades? Nah.
#TAVEMBER Day#14: Trade

What is a trade your Tav/Durge practices?

Brewing, bladesmithing, pottery/art, farming, bowyer/fletcher, etc. think like a trade job type of service.

🍄‍🟫: Do these skills help them on their journey or are they beneficial to someone in the camp?

#BG3 #TavQOTD

Oh boy oh boy. What is a vice to a guy who spends time with devils? What is a vice to a demon?

Gunza does what he likes and he doesn't really give thoughts to what is right or wrong so much as what is "allowed" in his current situation. Mephistopheles is generally the only one who makes the rules.
#TAVEMBER Day#13: Vice

What is your Tav/Durge’s vice?
Alcoholic, sex, drugs, etc.

What is their minor vice [like cigarettes] and their major [compulsive gambling]?

🍄‍🟫: Do their LI or friends participate in, ignore, or try to break them of their vice?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 13, 2025 at 9:09 PM
Gunza is an introvert and likes to spend a lot of time on his own (when at the HoH, Haarlep can hang out with him, they are chill).

However, he actually does enjoy being sociable! Devils are very social in their way and he's had to learn to navigate courts and parties. M likes to show him off.
#TAVEMBER Day#12: Sociable

Is your Tav/Durge sociable? Do they enjoy talking to people? Making friends? Are there any circumstances where they are sociable even if they normally are not?

🍄‍🟫: do their experiences/LI in bg3 change how they are with people?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 12, 2025 at 11:12 PM
As mentioned on an earlier day, Gunza's dream is to rid the world of his father.

Half demon, half drow means sleep isn't necessary outside of healing severe damage. But he enjoys occasionally relishing in it. Dreams are usually pleasant or abstract. Things like being in the wilderness for fun.
#TAVEMBER Day#11: Dream

What is your Tav/Durge’s dream?
This can be a goal or a literal dream.
Do they dream when they sleep? Relive their memories in reverie? Daydreams?

🍄‍🟫: Has their tadpole ever shared their dream with anyone in the camp?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 12, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Gunza uses magic for ranged and dagger/grapple for melee. He's usually more of a stealth guy, sneaking up on a target for a quick death with a blade.

But he's not above obliterating someone with flashy magic. He does have access to hellfire after all. Why not use it?
#TAVEMBER Day#10: Fighting Style

What is your Tav/Durge’s fighting style?

In a fight, how do they handle themselves? Sneak attack, ambush, direct, hand-to-hand, dipped, poison tipped, explosive, etc.

🍄‍🟫: Do they spar with their friends/LI?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 11, 2025 at 12:17 AM
Gunza loves daggers. A new dagger, an old dagger, a cursed dagger. It's an easy gift to get him to (+5) at you.

Any warm, cooked meal is also a nice treat. Especially meat.
#TAVEMBER Day#9: Treat

What is a treat to your Tav/Durge?

A special food, a date night, a new outfit, some kind of experience/item that brings them joy/comfort.

🍄‍🟫: What was their childhood treat?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 9, 2025 at 11:07 PM
I dooooon't have a canonical age for Gunza yet hahaha.

He's defo a few hundred years old. His demonic and elven heritage has him aging very, very slowly. (I wouldn't be surprised if M has him suspended in his prime for being his most specialest warlock.)
#TAVEMBER Day#8: Age

What is your Tav/Durge’s age?

This is two fold: what is their biological age vs their psychological age? Does their age, or the age of others, impact their opinions or decisions?

🍄‍🟫: Does this age contrast with their LI’s?

If you ever question if your fanfic is too self indulgent please remember that’s actually the point of fanfiction
November 6, 2025 at 2:56 AM
A bit of a hard question. Gunza is evil aligned, so his dark side is easily and often accessible. He works for an Archdevil, he has done some awful shit for that Archdevil. He doesn't really care. After all, he's probably much stronger than anyone who would object.
#TAVEMBER Day#7: Dark Side

What is your Tav/Durge’s dark side? What makes it come out?

The hidden, objectionable parts of them. How do they control it? Does it control them?

🍄‍🟫: How does the camp find out about this dark side? Does their LI?

#BG3 #TavQOTD

Extra rambly today ahaha. I love my fiends.
November 6, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Gunza sees himself as a weapon mostly. A tool to be used by an Archdevil. Not mindless, but useful.

But he has a destiny he will see through. He will do whatever it takes to rid the world of his father. If he survives that, he can a new purpose, but that's too far ahead to think about.
#TAVEMBER Day #6: Self-Image

What is your Tav/Durge’s self image?

What is their ideal, their social, their ideal social, and their actual self-image?

🍄‍🟫: Does their journey change these images they have or does their LI change anything for them?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 6, 2025 at 11:29 PM
Gunza has a complicated relationship with his mother for having never met her. Probably because he hadn't met her. As a child, he would often sit staring up at her portrait as he got lost in his thoughts.

He doesn't miss her, he doesn't have the right to, but he wishes he could know her.
#TAVEMBER Day#5: Mother

What is your Tav/Durge’s relationship with their mother figure?

This can be adopted, foster, bio mom, etc - basically the main feminine role in their formative years.

🍄‍🟫: Is your Tav/Durge’s filling this file for anyone?

#BG3 #TavQOTD

Picking is so hard when some types I love many from and some very little.

Oh no. Gunza is a little bit of a gross boy. I would say his comfortable level of hygiene is not abhorrent but definitely below average. He doesn't mind a bit of sweat or being covered in blood or in the same clothes for a week straight. Getting his work for his Patron comes before himself.
#TAVEMBER Day#4: Hygiene

What is your Tav/Durge’s personal hygiene level? How serious do they take their body care? Why is it important to them?

Is this a private ritual or will they share?

🍄‍🟫: Do they pay attention to their friend/LI’s hygiene too?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 4, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Gunza's social class is, uh, kind of bizarre.

His father is a Demon Lord with multiple Abyssal layers as his domain. His mother was the eldest daughter in a Noble House within Menzoberranzan.

And yet he seemed to live outside of class constructs as a child.
#TAVEMBER Day#3: Social Class

What social class did your Tav/Durge grow up in and what class do they fall into now?

Do they use their class? Is it something they ignore?

🍄‍🟫: Are there any aspects of their social class that they hate and actively avoid?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 3, 2025 at 7:08 PM
As Gunza was raised by his aunts, he also was taught by them. There was no way a demon cambion would be allowed in a school, no matter which house his mother belonged to. Half a drow is not a drow.
#TAVEMBER Day #2: Education

How was your Tav/Durge educated? Did they attend an academy? Were they privately mentored, self-educated, temple taught? Are they still learning?

🍄‍🟫: What kind of student are they? Visual, hands-on, teacher’s pet, overachiever, etc
