I Kinda Realized I Need To Do More Research On The Drow And Tweak Tarlins' Background. Cause It Sounds

I kinda realized I need to do more research on the drow and tweak Tarlins' background. Cause it sounds like Lolth priestesses don't have children, and their sole purpose in life is to worship the spider goddess. So Tarlin being a child of one, not likely. Maybe I'll make his mother a batshit Mage that picked out the prettiest of the literal fuck boys being sold on the street.

Been playing bg3 again and enjoying them mods!

Because of all that I finally got around to draw my drow Tarlin (Tavlyn depending on which campaign I'm playing cause I keep making new campaigns and they're all just him)

Tarlin was born in the underdark in Menzoberranzan to a lower Lolth priestess and her pleasure slave, a Seldarine drow named Ristal. He was destined to be a lolth priestess as well, but as an Eilistraee worshipper, Ristal couldn't handle having his youngest being a pawn for the spider queen. So he abducted him while he was only a couple months old and ran to the surface, ending up in Luskan.

While on the surface Ristal fell in love with a half elf who instantly took the role of Tarlins mother. Everything was great until about 6 years in when Ristal disappeared and a odd fringe group of Sune worshippers kidnapped Tarlin.

Tarlins life is a blur after that, living in a cult until his late teens, losing his best friend(who is turned into a vampire), then escaping and wondering Faerun in search of said friend, his mother and father.

He finds his friend in his early 40s shortly before the events of Bg3.

(in traditional vampire fan fashion) Tarlin and Astarion become partners.

In whatever ending the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking, Tarlin ends up being turned into a vampire by his friend during childbirth. He has a daughter with Astarion, Alena, a dhampir.

Little tidbits:

Tarlins left eye is marked with a Sune blessing, the red gets more vibrant when Tarlin develops genuine feelings for someone (the only someone is Astarion). The mark will turn black and his left eye goes blind when he is heartbroken, only happens in a heartbreaking ending.

Tarlin is an Eilistraee worshipper, so he has her old symbol tattooed on his left arm. He has 2 star tattoos on his chest because they are the first thing he remembers seeing when he and his father left the underdark.

Tarlin has piercings, nearly everywhere. He takes out his facial piercings during the events of bg3, cause being punched in the face hurts with them in, and obviously, he fights more, and he can't deal with that bs.

I'm gonna post some screenshots of everyone soon cause I spent 3 hours just designing what everyone in his family looks like.
