Viscardi

In spite of his very large and very intimidating presence and chronic resting bitch face, Viscardi is generally a pretty chill guy. Though reserved and not the most social, he tries his best to at least be polite, albeit blunt, with others and willing to help provided he gets some compensation. Once you peel back his tough exterior, he's surprisingly affectionate towards those he sees as friends and family, and is rather self-sacrificing. He has a habit of putting others before himself, and would rather deal with his own pains and issues alone instead of putting his burdens on others, much to the concern of his friends. Stubborn in his values, not fully against a bit of violence as a means to an end, but a courageous golden retriever in a rottweiler's body all the same. In battle he is an absolute menace, fully embracing his rancor and hatred for that brief moment in time, giving into the bloodlust. As long as he has someone to help rein him back in, it'll be alright... right?

Alas, under his layers of kindness and learnt empathy lies an incredibly sadistic, violent streak. Be it an inborn trait or a result of Lolth attempting to double down on her control of him in order to sow discord he doesn't know, but it distresses him all the same. Try as he might to keep it in control, every so often the mask cracks, giving way to his extreme violent tendencies and impressive anger issues. A rush of bloodlust, a desire to kill, and a need to burn every bridge he can. Though his frenzied outbursts can prove extremely useful in battle, and is where his... issues are most consistently triggered, he still doesn't like it and struggles to pull himself back together. Intrusive thoughts pick at his mind constantly, and every day is a battle to stop from hurting his loved ones and himself. It's a battle he refuses to lose.

(slaps Viscardi's chest) this drow can hold so much emotional baggage

the day i actually type out the full lore of any oc is the day jesus returns or smth. tl;dr lolth had plans. viscardi's sister introduced his face to some rocks out of jealousy that he was the only mf there "blessed" by lolth and bearing the gift of her red eyes. oops. had several more lolth-sworn drow moments(tm). sister dead a long while later bc cardi finally snapped. first non standard faceless execution kill achievement and he is absolutely horrified at himself. tries to dip, lolth said nuh uh ur too funny i want u as a pet and doubled down on her bullshittery, nearly turning him into a drider. dodged that bullet due to miss eilistraee being kind enough to pull him out of the hole he was in but no more. ended up on a farm for 2 years that was nice even tho he was concerningly good and enthusiastic about butchering the cows. oops! wrong place wrong time moment and he got wormed. worm does seem to slightly mitigate lolth's fuckery so thats nice. bg3 events take place. he kisses the vampire. life could be worse.
