Rae has three tats. He got them in this order: neck, right arm, shoulder blades, and spine. They were all done by Jysral, except for the web/spider along his spine.
Rae designed the motives himself, incorporating his own stories and his thinly-veiled admiration for flowers. (1/3)

Feral moon-coded cat and more feral sun-coded dog trauma-dump amidst bloodshed, sew chaos in each other's heads by developing feelings and a genuine friendship, communicate (shocking) all this, and find out that loving and trusting someone unconditionally ain't so bad.

Ironically, Rae seems to have a thing for paladins.
Jysral was one, and Julien is one.

Jysral swore an Oath of Redemption under Eilistraee after abandoning Lolth, whereas Julien swore an Oath of the Crown under the banner of Neverwinter's Hall of Justice.

Nowadays Rae is way past this, but in his 30s/40s when he had just turned into a warlock, he had the fattest crush on Helsik.
For what he now realizes was a measly amount of coin compared to her usual prices, she taught him a lot about the Hells, his powers, and other things. (1/3)

This image sums it up.
I've learned that being annoying about my OC can be cathartic and good and fun. Am I cringe? Am I annoying? Absolutely, yes. But I am free.
And some of you want to be free with me, and I'm really grateful for it and for the people I've met through me being annoying. ✌️

Rae's parents were very different and only ended up having him because his mother was obsessed with creating the perfect heiress.

Alas, it is not what she received.

I've told this part of Rae's backstory a few times by now, so here are a few facts about his parents instead. (1/5)

Good news, I’m officially reopening commissions!! Bad news, student loan payments have resumed lmao.

Keep in mind, slots are extremely limited and I may take longer to finish pieces due to my irl job. (If slots run out, shoot me a dm and we can work something out!!)

Rae doesn't understand why one would imagine a happily ever after. Why waste one's time dwelling on such idle fantasies? He prefers living and fighting for the here & now.
Sure, he dreams of things he wants for his future, but those turn into his goals. And he will achieve them.

That'd be Julien to me.
He's a labour of love and disgust between me and a friend who are notorious for liking assholes™.
She wanted to play an terrible shithead nobleman in the Neverwinter MMORPG and asked me to write her one. And then Julien just... developed between us. (1/2)

Pixies are notorious for their trickery, but they are bad at haggling or making deals. Rae uses that to his advantage, satisfying their whims in return for something.
Besides, he knows better than to piss a fey off, which is why he freed Dolly Thrice. And got shitfaced with her.

Not much has changed for #Raestarion.

After all, bashing your forehead against someone else's forehead is almost as romantic as putting your lips to their forehead.

Right?

"So, darling... has your patron ever watched you knock boots with someone?"

Mind you, there have been odder things Astarion has asked Rae, but this one? It's a classic by now. Rae hears it at least once when in a relationship.

#TavQOTD #RaeBG3 #Raestarion
Honestly? Rae wouldn't do anything different than in canon: he'd be there for Astarion, be his confidant, offer a shoulder to lean on, slowly grow into his friend first rather than his lover. With less talking, but—Rae has other ways to get his point across. (1/3)

I like my monochromes with a splash of edge.

Explain your username.

My name is nad and I have the creativity of a fridge when it comes to usernames.
Explain your username!

I'm a big One Piece Fan and used Shandora as my go-to for anything game related.

And then I found out about Dora the Explorer...
Explain your username!

I like wolves and unicorns
Yoinked the lycan from lycanthropy and the corn from unicorn. Voilà.

It's a name I truly enjoy

An observation that @redroomroaving.bsky.social made is that Rae sports a lot of wealth on him, equipment and otherwise, but that it isn't just for looks. He's savvy and has knowledge. He knows and appreciates the value of it all, even though it may not seem like it at first glance.

- Two journals, always. Rae's own & his father's, black and small yet heavy with meaning and information.
- Earrings, forged from his first armour. Not always, but most days.
- Cloak. His father's, too. Repaired and patched far too many times by now.
- Muscles. They feel good.
