Gunza isn't much of a quote guy. He's more of a listener than a speaker. Which is great because Raphael loves talking.

But I'm sure he has some great monotone one-liners in there.

Let's grab a line from one of my fics.

"Ugh. Your horns. Would be an embarrassing way to lose an eye.”
#TAVEMBER Day#26: Quote

What is your Tav/Durge’s iconic quote? Or a quote from another media that describes them?

Due to his parentage, Gunza is very attractive with high charisma. He doesn't try and that's part of the charm.

His outfits are a little worn in, practical rather than fashionable. Good for travel, rarely in armor. He'd go for stealth over armor most of the time.
#TAVEMBER Day#25: Style

What is your Tav/Durge’s style? Their fashion sense, the way they write, how they carry themselves, how they talk to people, etc.

🍄‍🟫: What is their flirting style? Did it work on their partner?

Sorry for the spam I wanted to catch up after a busy weekend. :)

So, Gunza has a surprisingly amount of time on his hands. He's taught himself how to crochet. He doesn't always have access to supplies so he's used a lot of strange fibers. He likes web silk from giant spiders quite a bit.

He also loves sparring. And by sparring I mean play wrestling.
#TAVEMBER Day#24: Pastime

What is your Tav/Durge’s favorite pastime? [hobby] What is one they had as a kid?

Maybe they like to spar, draw, fish, hunt, etc.

🍄‍🟫: Do they share this pastime with their partner or do their partner/friends engage in it with them?

#TavQOTD #BG3

Gunza finds a lot of beauty in the grotesque. After years and years of living among devils, he's found himself drawn to their aesthetics. Bones and skulls arranged along a wall, blood flowing along the curves and valleys of a fresh corpse, something too tall with too many limbs.
#TAVEMBER Day#23: Beauty

What is your Tav/Durge’s idea of beauty?

The sight of blood, flowers in the moonlight, scales on a dragon, gold and jewels, etc

🍄‍🟫: What would they consider ugly? Can something become ugly to them that was beautiful?

This is going to be a long one... And my second attempt at writing it haha. Anyway I figured this would be a good day to focus on Companion!Gunza's thoughts on the other characters.
#TAVEMBER Day#22: POV

What’s your Tav/Durge’s POV [their individual understanding of a situation]?

This is how they viewed the companions, the quests, their journey - their own obligations weighting, etc.

🍄‍🟫: How did their view evolve over the journey?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 24, 2025 at 8:28 PM
Gunza's limits are very hard to find. Some people (Haarlep) like to test them to try and get under his skin. He's from the Abyss, he's got a decently high pain tolerance for a cambion.

However he can be easily upset if his parents are brought up in certain ways. He is very sensitive there.
#TAVEMBER Day#21: Limit

What is your Tav/Durge’s limit?

This can be their emotional/mental or physical limit, hard boundaries, situational/social/etc.

What pushes them over?

🍄‍🟫: Have any of the companions or NPCs pushed them to or beyond their limit?

Gunza does not have any tattoos. He doesn't really have any desire for any. He likes body modification through piercings.

If he were to get a tattoo it would probably be something like Mephisto's seal. It would have to be for a good trade. But that would also make things even more awkward with R.
#TAVEMBER Day#20: Tattoo

Does your Tav/Durge have/want tattoos? What is their significance? When do they get them? Are they symbols, do they cover scars, are they magical?

🍄‍🟫: if they do not have any - what would they get if they were going to get one?

November 20, 2025 at 1:43 AM
I've discussed this a bit in previous days so I will focus this one specifically on Companion!Gunza.

The tadpole severs his connection to his patron and he loses almost all of his powers, including the ability to leave his teifling disguise and take his true form.
#TAVEMBER Day#19: Motive

What is your Tav/Durge’s motive for the events? What keeps them moving?

Think like a desire to see home again, to rule the world, etc.

🍄‍🟫: what is their secondary motive? This would be something of lesser extent like helping their LI.

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 20, 2025 at 1:34 AM
If there is one thing that the Underdark is good at, it's culling the weak. Gunza had to kill his weaknesses early in life.

However he wasn't able to kill the soft spot he has for his mother or the hatred for his father. Both can be used to manipulate him.
#TAVEMBER Day#18: Weak

What makes your Tav/Durge weak?

This can be physical, emotional, morally, sexually, etc. Think like a physical shortcoming or something simple like a weakness for a type of food or activity.

🍄‍🟫: What makes them ‘weak in the knees’?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 18, 2025 at 8:31 PM
What is Gunza's nature? He's a lustful, hedonistic, evil creature. He's relatively chill about it at least. He just doesn't let things (most things) get to him. So I guess that's part of his nature as much as his demonic urges.
#TAVEMBER Day#17: Nature

What is your Tav/Durge’s nature?
[Think human nature]

Are they naturally envious, optimistic, pessimistic, cruel, melancholic, etc?

🍄‍🟫: Are they a friend of nature/the wild world itself?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 17, 2025 at 10:19 PM
I feel like I need to apologize for Gunza but growing up he saw skimpily dressed men on the laps or at the feet of their wives or masters. In the Hells, it goes even further.

He doesn't understand (or tbh care to understand) that some people don't like PDA. It's very tame to him.
#TAVEMBER Day#16: PDA

How does your Tav/Durge feel about PDA? How do they react to it from their LI? Do they prefer to initiate or for it to be spontaneous?

How about from friends/family?

🍄‍🟫: What is their limit for PDA?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 17, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Oops a day late but it's okay. So I touched on this a little in "Social Class", but Gunza is both from a noble family and working directly under an Archdevil. He's not naturally great at politics but he does have to pay attention for his own survival.
#TAVEMBER Day#15: Politics

Does your Tav/Durge participate in politics? What politics do they stay up to date on?

What was the political climate in their upbringing?

🍄‍🟫: Does their LI/Friend engage in political conversations with them?

#TavQOTD #BG3
November 16, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Gunza was raised tradeless. His mother's family were nobles who let him basically run wild after all.

Not to say he is skilless. Ignoring the obvious job of mercenary, he would make a very skilled guide especially for exploring the Underdark.

But for standard trades? Nah.
#TAVEMBER Day#14: Trade

What is a trade your Tav/Durge practices?

Brewing, bladesmithing, pottery/art, farming, bowyer/fletcher, etc. think like a trade job type of service.

🍄‍🟫: Do these skills help them on their journey or are they beneficial to someone in the camp?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 15, 2025 at 12:15 AM
Oh boy oh boy. What is a vice to a guy who spends time with devils? What is a vice to a demon?

Gunza does what he likes and he doesn't really give thoughts to what is right or wrong so much as what is "allowed" in his current situation. Mephistopheles is generally the only one who makes the rules.
#TAVEMBER Day#13: Vice

What is your Tav/Durge’s vice?
Alcoholic, sex, drugs, etc.

What is their minor vice [like cigarettes] and their major [compulsive gambling]?

🍄‍🟫: Do their LI or friends participate in, ignore, or try to break them of their vice?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 13, 2025 at 9:09 PM
Gunza is an introvert and likes to spend a lot of time on his own (when at the HoH, Haarlep can hang out with him, they are chill).

However, he actually does enjoy being sociable! Devils are very social in their way and he's had to learn to navigate courts and parties. M likes to show him off.
#TAVEMBER Day#12: Sociable

Is your Tav/Durge sociable? Do they enjoy talking to people? Making friends? Are there any circumstances where they are sociable even if they normally are not?

🍄‍🟫: do their experiences/LI in bg3 change how they are with people?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 12, 2025 at 11:12 PM
As mentioned on an earlier day, Gunza's dream is to rid the world of his father.

Half demon, half drow means sleep isn't necessary outside of healing severe damage. But he enjoys occasionally relishing in it. Dreams are usually pleasant or abstract. Things like being in the wilderness for fun.
#TAVEMBER Day#11: Dream

What is your Tav/Durge’s dream?
This can be a goal or a literal dream.
Do they dream when they sleep? Relive their memories in reverie? Daydreams?

🍄‍🟫: Has their tadpole ever shared their dream with anyone in the camp?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 12, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Gunza uses magic for ranged and dagger/grapple for melee. He's usually more of a stealth guy, sneaking up on a target for a quick death with a blade.

But he's not above obliterating someone with flashy magic. He does have access to hellfire after all. Why not use it?
#TAVEMBER Day#10: Fighting Style

What is your Tav/Durge’s fighting style?

In a fight, how do they handle themselves? Sneak attack, ambush, direct, hand-to-hand, dipped, poison tipped, explosive, etc.

🍄‍🟫: Do they spar with their friends/LI?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 11, 2025 at 12:17 AM
Gunza loves daggers. A new dagger, an old dagger, a cursed dagger. It's an easy gift to get him to (+5) at you.

Any warm, cooked meal is also a nice treat. Especially meat.
#TAVEMBER Day#9: Treat

What is a treat to your Tav/Durge?

A special food, a date night, a new outfit, some kind of experience/item that brings them joy/comfort.

🍄‍🟫: What was their childhood treat?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 9, 2025 at 11:07 PM
I dooooon't have a canonical age for Gunza yet hahaha.

He's defo a few hundred years old. His demonic and elven heritage has him aging very, very slowly. (I wouldn't be surprised if M has him suspended in his prime for being his most specialest warlock.)
#TAVEMBER Day#8: Age

What is your Tav/Durge’s age?

This is two fold: what is their biological age vs their psychological age? Does their age, or the age of others, impact their opinions or decisions?

🍄‍🟫: Does this age contrast with their LI’s?
