Get to know MORE Darius! As if I don't yap about him enough as it is. 😈
I have done quite a few of these questionnaires, but not this one. I think. Perhaps.
If I have, oh well, second chance!
Go nuts with the likes, my fellow nerds.❤️

Depends on the speed Darius writes! I downloaded fonts for it.
How long do we have? 😂
Multi-post incoming 🧵
Head: skull, from where Orin stabbed him and inserted the first tadpole
Face: across the eyebrow, eyelid, into the eye and down the cheek, narrowly ducked a sword aimed to take his head off
Torso: autopsy +
Shoulderblade: dagger slice from the first penance with painpriest Abdirak
Upper arm: a stray sword strike from "the paladins" that hutned Mama K
Belly: a crossbowbolt from the goblin camp. Had to be cut out
Hands: in and out both sides, both
+
Crotch: a poorly done castration, partial
Shin: a spike trap that went off. Spikes had to be cut out
Not shown; tail: someone stepped on it and gave him a compound break.
And numerous, several other, bigger and smaller ones.
Yes. Darius swims like a fish, and he controls the waters to aid himself with he's in it.
You can't tell a storm sorcerer NOT to play with and control the water!
Made with love. (Totally a self-insert there!) If the food is made with love, butter and a little coercion, Darius will gorge himself on it, no matter if it's so fancy is has its own surname, or gruel.
Not really, but Darius wont ever say no to something sweet to snack on.
A sharp dagger hidden somewhere on his person, his staff strapped to his back, and a fake coin purse designed to be stolen, keeping the -actual- coin purse safe.
And always a bag of snack. Preferably chocolate-covered blueberries. Fresh or dried.
Not at all in the beginning. But Darius practices, tries and gets better. Fairly good, actually.
He loves to eyes and the challenge of capturing emotions in them.
Astarion gets several doodles that the vamp glues all over his personal mirror, covering the glass.
Darius isn't very creative on his own. But he copies what he sees and find beautiful.
Due to his amnesia, Darius doesn't really know anything else but adventuring for survival.
But when his bones get tired of always being on the move, he takes his skill with the knife and knowledge to the butcher and trades hours for fresh blood.
Even later, and +
Canon post-game it's by adventuring, and by Astarion's sticky fingers, trinkets that they barter away, to Halsin's dismay.
AU Darius works as a butcher in all his iterations.
Heh. Darius had a getting-bitten- and bloodkink and is in a relationship with a vampire AND a druid with a biting kink too. No.
Blood is an aphrodisiac.
As long as he doesn't get a headache, Darius keeps on going and going and going, until me meets the wall proper.
Then he gets bedridden for far too long.
Yes. Several times. Both caused by injury alone and before a fight.
I can elaborate on both. c:
First magical surge cos he was upset. Kiddo hurt himself.
When he learned how to swim, aka got dumped into the river and thought he was about to drown.
Several times right before a dark urge episode.
When he was bleeding out from the crotch damage.
When ducking away from
+
More hoping he'd die, every day and night, when in Kressa's tortuous hands.
Right before facing Ketheric.
And he knew he'd die facing Orin.
Except he didn't. It was when facing daddy dearest right after.
He gets more careful post-game, realising ++
The fear of death is still there, though.
.
Henlo, I ramble! 😂❤️
Nothing really scares Darius, except the unknown. And mice.
With the ass-long hair - yes, at least the simpler braids. The more complicated ones, like french and dutch braids and beyond he needs help with.
A personal favorite is a fishbone braid, but his hands tire -so fast-!
Cue me asking out loud "Can you whistle, Darius?" The reply was instant: no, he can't.
News to me too, today.
Darius refused to cut his hair for ages. But now it reaches down to the top of his ass, and has to be trimmed. Natural breakage aside, he cuts off -only- the most damaged ends, keeping it as long as he can.
He takes great pride it in.
As a mephistopheles tiefling his claws are naturaly very dark. Darius sees no need to paint them.
Modern AU Darius paints them dark brown to black for everyday, but goes full on rainbow for june.
Darius tints his lips with a burgundury tint and applies a little dark eyeshadow that he pulls out to a cat-eye effect. Kind of. He's not VERY vain, but he enjoys the effect makup has.
Nothing. There's no, nix, nada underwear on Darius. He's commando in his trousers and skirts.
The breeze is nice, and something he wont admit is how underwear -always- touches his scar. He's not very fond of that.
Fashion function? Darius knows what colours he likes and fits, and what cuts he prefers: no sleeves.
But he enjoys it when Astarion dresses him up, so that Halsin can Undress him later. 😉
In equal measure: the brooch and the ring in the chain around his neck - a lightning and dagger pierced oakleaf and a copy of the Sunwalker Ring, as engagement ring.
Darius is a simple man. He has pierced ears and a few enchanted rings on rotation.
He expands with a brooch and a necklace with a ring later as relationships with Halsin and Astarion solidify.
Don't think Darius have any. He sees and appreciated the beauty of flowers, but can't handle them or keep them alive, nor tell them apart.
Well. Surprised!
He doesn't know WHEN his actual birthday is, that's a date no one in the Bhaal temple bothered writing down, so it remains a mystery the rest of Darius' life.
But for a surprise party with friends he'd be grateful.
With the way Darius flirts with everything having a pulse, he makes quick surface friends and one-night-stands.
The longer term friends? No. Not so quick and easy.
Canon Darius enjoys the bards in the tavern. He might even join in song.
Modern AU Darius has a love for country.
Except when hitting the clubs.
Darius keeps the conversations with himself internal. However when he goes silent, there's usually trouble in sight. A Darius that stops chattering can be a bad sign, depending what else he's doing.
Well. Not really, but he tries!
No hate on Gerard Butler, but his take on Phantom of the Opera isn't the best, but he puts his soul into his performance.
That's better than Darius singing.
Not always the prettiest but he gives what he has.
When Darius picks up a violin for the first time, he surprised himself with knowing HOW to play it. Any other instrument he lacks rhythm, but with the fiddle? Aces it.
Darius is 1.95m or 6''4, sans horns.
He's fine with his height, he looks most people over their heads, and some straight in the eyes, but that's normal for him.
As an acts of service person, Darius loves to find little trinkets and gifts. He caters each one to the reciever, based on their personality and needs.
The ones he creates with his lovers. "Gotcha day" for their cats, "Annual Denied Bhaal", "Killed Cazador Day", "Saved Reithwin from the Shadowcurse week", etc.
The other holidays doesn't matter much to Darius, he doesn't remember if he ever celabrated any.
Spring and autumn. When the snow melts and the leaves change colour. The flowers starts poking out, and the grass turns yellow. It's getting warmer and it's getting colder.
Darius love the change in itself.
Hah, not at all. Darius can survive on his cooking, but he'll never be good at it. He can burn eggs, boil and fry potatoes and slice bread and cheese.
Serviceable, but not anywhere near gourmet.
Baths. To lounge in the tub to soak and either get pampered or get to pamper a lover (or potential lover) is peak comfort.
Surrounding Darius is a scent of petrichor, ozone and lavender. Two of them are natural scents coming FROM his skin, while lavender comes from his soaps.
There's also a hint of iron, citrus, leather and musk as well, especially when he's been around Halsin and Astarion.
It used to be iron, the smell of blood.
But these days it's the light cirtusy scent of bergamont and freshly tilled earth. And lavender.
Cooped up inside?! Hell naw! Darius is out in the rain, naked, playing with the raindrops, making the weather much worse with thunder.
He's a storm sorcerer, and rainy weather is his bread and butter.
Depends on the activity before sleeping. If Darius is properly exhausted and spent (heh!) he'll sleep through a house falling around him.
Otherwise he wakes if someone changes position next to him.
On the tadfools adventure, he was up at the first sign of light, feeling constantly sleep deprived.
Post-game he spends the nights with Astarion, which leads to really late mornings. Mid-days, actually.
Darius prefers to sleep on his back like a seastar, sprawled out in the middle. But that requires enough pillows so he doesn't gut the bedding with his horns.
As a back-sleeper it gives his lovers plenty of realestate to snuggle with too.
People wear clothes to bed? Darius sleeps in his birthday suit, completely naked, even when in mixed company AND when he still sleep-walked.
Darius likes all animals but, they all ran away from him - aside from Scratch and the owlbear cub.
Then he met the cats in Last Light Inn and saw a resemblence with cats and Astarion.
He has cats with him wherever he goes.
As a kid, it was his pet-rat.
Yes, spice is tasty! Up until the point where the spice turns into pain - then it's no fun nor tasty anymore.
It's not so much the flavour, but the texture of raw, uncooked mushrooms rubs Darius' mouthfeel the wrong way. Like chewing on sponge.
Mushroom in stews or soups, sauteed in butter or ..dried (looking at you, Sekh) is delicious, though!
Darius is a big lunch and dinner man. He's generally a foods man who often skips breakfast as long as he gets his coffee.
He DOES snack throughout the entire day though. Fresh or dried fruit being the faves there.
In order:
potato - in any shape or form!
cheese
bread
Darius will kill for any of the 3.
Does he has to choose? Yes to all. Umami and salt, spicy and sweet, sour and bitter - and any combinations.
He will wrinkle his nose if his coffee gets too sweet or potato bitter, though.
Coffee, black as night, hot as the hells and bitter enough to curl his tongue.
Redwine, sweet, heavy and layered, with hints of chocolate.
