zirk virvain is just the archetype of the mad Victorian scientist but. morally good. like. he drinks piss. he has mommy issues and a gun. his experiments give him free ombre hair dye. he injects sludge into his friends. he got beat up by 40 year old children. twice. he chews on a stirring rod during autopsies. he had sex through a magic bag one time. he found the cure to death. he didn't even bother testing it he just straight up died and it worked. he technically didn't kill god but his friends killed god's daughter which is close enough.

"life has no meaning" okay then explain the feeling of the sun on your face or the way light reflects off the ocean or the smell of sourdough or the buzz of an electric guitar or the way your friends squeezes your shoulder or the taste of coffee or the way sand pools around your toes or the way juice drips down your hand as you eat a peach or

4,5 and 20 for the ask thing!

Yay my first ask!! And thank you for your comment on the original post haha

As requested *^^*

(Just a disclaimer, I wrote a lot of her backstory before finishing the full game, so a couple sections match more with D&D canon than game canon, sorry T_T)

4. What hobbies does your Tav have? How did they acquire these interests?

Nina didn't have much time for hobbies when she was younger, but the most prominent one is whittling. She picked it up when she and her sister Wren moved to Baldur's Gate, to pass time at her job (which I talk abt in the next question) She's not amazing at it, but it does bring her comfort. She also does like animals and the outdoors, but these are more so interests than hobbies haha

5. Did your Tav have any formal or informal employment? If yes, what was their job? If no, how did they make ends meet? How did they feel about it?

Nina and Wren were young when they moved to Baldur's Gate, so it was difficult for Nina to find reputable work. She eventually secured the night shift for a small temple district, guarding the places of worship. However, the work didn't make ends meet, and as time went on she started doing jobs for The Guild….. She was definitely not happy about it, but I'll answer that more in a different question >:)

20. What is your Tav's greatest regret?

(In her eyes) Nina abandoned her sister, Wren, and regrets endangering her by doing jobs for the Guild. During the final job she helped the organisation with, Nina lost her nerve, slipping away to alert the Fist. This resulted in a pretty bad fight and a fire, leaving a few casualties on each side. In return, a Guild member scarred her face and neck, and threatened Wren. Before Nina could get to their home to check on her, the Nautoloid appeared, and took her.

This was very fun!!!!! I hope more people ask about Nina, I love talking about her jfksksjs

a quiet life- no! I will live my life loudly! I will hug my friends and press flowers, complement strangers, feel my feet in the dirt! I will savour the smell of rain, decorate a space that's mine, and dance and sing and buy people gifts! I will leave this world with the love I have given it!!
