My characters are always a bit boring. Because I like comfy things. I know a lot of people put their OCs through trauma, but not me.
My Tav is a tiefling sorceress. In the game, it seems like our Tavs are Baldurian. But I headcanon she rather grew up off the grid with her parents. She had a quiet childhood, loving parents, and no siblings. She only moved to Waterdeep to train and find work to save money and move her parents to the city as well. As they are getting older the forest is too remote for medical help if they ever need it. I can totally see her getting abducted by the Nautiloid, while she was doing some mundane job.
However, how my playthrough ended, would absolutely ruin her plans for moving her parents to a better place. But I am going to put that in spoilers.
I romanced Karlach. And I couldn't let her die on her own terms, so we moved to Avernus together. So far from taking care of her elderly parents LMAO.
I headcanon that eventually they find a way to fix the engine permanently so they can move back to Baldur's Gate. Move in the elderly parently of my Tav and live happily ever after.
