The player character of the first two installments of NWN2 is at the beginning of the story just a [[Farm Boy|Farmboy/Farmgirl]] who is, for all intents and purposes, completely insignificant. The only unusual thing about your character is that regardless of what race your are, you're an orphan who was born during a climactic battle between the forces of Neverwinter and demons that destroyed in which their mother died. Your real father, unknown, the character is raised by a particularly grumpy [[Our Elves Are Better|half-wood elf]], with whom you don't particularly get along. Sounds like the perfect setup for [[
Shortly after the village festival that's part fair, part coming of age ritual, your swampy hometown is obliterated by a sudden attack out of nowhere by [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|githyanki]] and [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|duergar]]. While everyone is dumbstruck by the seeming randomness of it, your father knows a little something about what's going on and without informing you on all the details, tasks you with removing a single silver shard from the swamp and taking it to Neverwinter, where his half-brother -- [[Brother Chuck|who you've never heard of before]] -- lives. Along the way you encounter allies and enemies and eventually discover that you yourself are more intricately tied to the events going on in the Sword Coast than your adopted father let on.
Line 155:
'''Associated Tropes:'''
* [[Black Magician Girl]]
* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: In-universe.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: She gets a few fantastic hits in on other characters.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Her preferred method of problem solving.
Line 182:
* {{spoiler|[[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: So very much.
* [[Expy]]: He carries on the tradition of an [[The Scrappy|annoying]], diminutive [[Spoony Bard]] established by Deekin in the [[Expansion Pack|expansions]] to [[Neverwinter Nights|the original game]].
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Believe it or not, he ''is'' a mechanical genius, as well as several other types of genius, and is capable of some surprising feats of engineering if he's with the party at the appropriate moments.
* [[Luke Nounverber]]
Line 241:
* [[Lack of Empathy]]
* [[Perma-Stubble]]
* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Though NWN2's facial animations are fairly limited, you can hear it in his voice every time he taunts the [[Player Character]] or makes lewd comments toward female Companions.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: A very sarcastic and condescending example. If you're lucky he'll simply call you "Captain", as if its interchangeable with "Idiot".
* [[The Other Darrin]]: {{spoiler|In ''Mask of the Betrayer''.}}
Line 407:
* [[Power Tattoo]]: All Red Wizards have them.
* [[Stereotype Flip]]: Unlike the majority of Red Wizards, Safiya is far more interested in learning and teaching than in accruing personal power.
* [[True Neutral]]:
