Dal's canine teeth are slightly longer/pointier than one might expect for an elf. His irises glow under certain circumstances.
He has a burn scar in the shape of his (former) House Insignia on his left flank

Dal's.. never really felt romantic love before Gloria--except MAYBE with Kalanzar, but it's complicated, and he doesn't deal with complicated feelings well.
When he started falling for Gloria, not only did he assume it was unrequited, but that Gloria's affection...

Couldn't decide between a few hairstyle options. In reality he'd let it grow really long. The wrinkles aren't super obvious despite being at max, I assume bc elf, but he gets some freckling from sun exposure :)

There's no theme or organization to it, I just add music to it if I get blorbo feelings esp while listening to a song lmao. Mostly sorta edgy stuff with the occasional rare but soft ship song.
The STARSET songs are the MOST Dal.

My Tav, Dalamus Strighym, is an AU of a TES character I created over 13 years ago, Dalamus Rex :) He has a few other AUs, too, but BG3 Dal is the current obsession.
Here's a BG3 VS TES screenie and some art of his original TES version!

Dalamus will cross his arms if feeling vulnerable/insecure/defensive (or hide his hands if trembling). He'll run a hand through his hair to self-soothe. Sometimes he'll fiddle with his earrings when uncertain.

Ooohh! Hmmm.
Assuming he's stuck in my house, it's... probably fine? There'll be some ground rules to establish wrt pets and such, but I think we'd be alright. Getting along depends on the subject, but I can show him rockhounding/silversmithing/gemcutting youtube channels
#tavqotd you and your tav/durge are stuck inside bc of a snow storm, you have enough supplies to last the storm, how well/bad does things go for you and your oc?

⚠️ TW: S/A, dub/noncon, rape mention up to part 7 ⚠️
Nedvyllanna Strighym is the source of most of Dal's trauma regarding sex & to a lesser extent, romance, due to the frequency with which she used Charm magic on him. As a male in Lolthite society, he already

Dal's first was another drow by the name of Kren. He was about the same age as Dal at the time, somewhere around 50. He started as a secret admirer who supported Dal's budding business, then got bold enough to suggest an alternate form of payment.

Lolthites are generally known to be quite draconian towards children, and Dal can sometimes unfortunately turn a blind eye when it's "not his problem".
But he'll never intentionally harm a child, and should he be charged with the defense of one, he'll defend them fiercely.

Dal defends Gloria in battle & almost dies in the process. Magic can only do so much. She can only watch & wait to see if he recovers. Pre-romance.

...Dal has SO many questions about "shooting stars". What is it? Why is it falling? Should we be worried? Why do Surfacers make wishes when they see one? Is it magic? Do the wishes come true?
He would, quite simply, wish for luck in defeating the Absolute.

Horses!!! They've got big barrel bodies & spindly legs & long faces & frighten easily & are dangerous in every direction. Weird animals. Deer are on thin ice.
He's also uneasy around birds. They're just flying everywhere. Always above, in the trees. Scheming.

Dal *loves* biting/being bitten--though, surprisingly few of his partners have been willing to bite him, and he's not sure why. Something about not wanting to hurt him or some junk. He doesn't know why they're complicating it (<- he says while being complicated).

But I love him so much. He's a bard who loves everyone and everything, and life itself.

Usually a smile from Dal means someone has tripped and fallen on their face, or an enemy has been dispatched in some horrifying manner, but he can smile for other reasons. On occasion.
He gets better at it as time goes on. Keep an eye out, they're elusive.

Oh boy, does he! Very TL;Dr'd--
Face & neck: Whip scars from his Matron when he was exiled. These scars cause the most shame and insecurity.
Ear: Younger sister, a teen at the time, ripped an earring out when Dal dared to ignore her too long.

Mal will find a single coin with a dragazhar on one side for House Strighym. He'll also find some gold pieces, a few vials of poison, lockpicks, a couple pieces of small jewelry (either leftover from his Patron days or stolen), and some pretty or interesting rocks.

Dalamus' exile from Menzoberranzan, the first part in his immediately pre-BG3 backstory. More to come!
Content warnings for: whipping, descriptions of blood and injury, and victim blaming (by the victim) just in case.

Assuming post-BG3. Dal would love to say it's not his problem, not his responsibility.
But, truth is, he'd at the very least bring the child inside to make sure it's alright. Then perhaps search for a better caretaker.
