Cool! I read the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy *way* back, but confess my memory of the details of the world have been lost to the mists of time. I'll have to take a look at the more recent books.
The other character concept I have based on other media is an in-world one: Nerys the cleric of Kelemvor who was a character in the Jim Zub Legends of Baldur's Gate comics, which starred a de-statued Minsc. I'm still not sure if or how much the events of those comics are canon within the BG3 world: when questioned Minsc mentions fighting off a succubus in Candlekeep and being dunked in the River Styx (which were events in that series) as things that*may* have happened, but I don't think anything is definitely confirmed. And I somehow missed in my latest run any info about how he came to be unpetrified: I'd picked up the impression that it didn't quite match the comics, but I note that in the bg3.wiki it does say Minsc was awakened by Delina the wild mage which was what happened in the first comic. I'm therefore still mulling over how much of the events in the comics to adopt as my Nerys's back story, but do want her to know Minsc and Boo. I'll also maybe have a play around with mods to try to get a better look for her once I've ticked off the last few achievements (the below was the best I managed with the vanilla character creator). For now, she's on the list of possible future runs that are bubbling away in the background that I'll potentially firm up and play one of these days (and yes, I do have at least a rough concept for every class and subclass, covering all races and subraces and they *might* be listed out on a spreadsheet because that's how sad I am
).
