Hi everyone! My first post on these forums ^o^ Love me some BG2 and BG2EE, and have been wanting to try to create a really fun NPC mod for BG2/ee. I'm been writing through several ideas of who I'd want to create and I finally hit upon something I. I love elaborate stories that go along with a character. I think I've finally come up with something interesting but I wanted to get feedback on it. I've decided to try my hand on two female NPCs, both with a romance in the same mod. I wanted to try something a little more adult and engaging then a traditional romance:
Both girls will have two quests in SoA and at least one quest in ToB:
Eaess'n (eya-sin) of House V'uloyve (v-yuu-low-v) is the voluptuous and stunning young daughter and the fifth born daughter of a House Matron in a minor house stationed in the Drow City of Guallidurth under Calimshan. She was known for her excess in the pleasure pits and intrigue in the Temple City of Lolth rather than her devotion to the Spider Goddess and she eventually had to be expelled for her lack of faith. Her tastes were considered unusual for drow in that they revolved around pleasure more than torture. She avoided torture and execution thanks to a well-placed tip and slipped out of the city, apparently on the run with nothing but the clothes on her back and the skills she had acquired. She has had to fend for herself quickly and eventually fell in with a small cult of Vhaeraun, the Drow Masked Lord. She found his teachings amongst intrigue and guile more appealing than Lolth's demanding strictures, despite the god's focus more on male drow, and so became a student of both his teachings in divine magic and made herself learned the ways of the sword from her fellow cultists. When she finally left their enclave to try her hand at adventuring she had gained enough skills to become a formidable opponent. She, perhaps foolhardedly, has very little fear of surfacers that generally comes with drow who embark to the surface, using her natural talents and charm to slip out of most situations, and divine power and strength of arms where charm will not work. There are many who say her demeanor towards nondrow is most strange and unbecoming of a former drow of her status.
Her closest friend in Athkatla, the wealthy and beautiful daughter of a wine merchant, Temmira Belgarth, is her gateway into the land of high intrigues with Athkatla's elite, where she runs rampant. She is romanceable with male and female PCS of any race or alignment; given her predilections to hedonism. She does however seem to prefer females and females will have an easier time with the romance.
She gets along with most NPCs given her open worldview, which will perplex or disgust many of the more stringent NPCS with gloriously entertaining dialogue but not drive them to want to kick her out (she's careful not just rub people the wrong way like Viconia). There will be a vicious feud if Viconia is in the party which could lead to bloodshed if the PC isn't careful. Not only is Viconia abhorrent of how non-drow Eaess'n acts, but she despises how much easier a time she's had since being on the surface just by her more casual demeanor. Strangely, Viconia has never heard of House V'uloyve.
