IC INFORMATION CHARACTER NAME: Astarion CANON: Baldur's Gate III SIGN: The Wheel of Fortune FACTION: Free Cities
CHARACTER INFORMATION: Astarion is a High Elf rogue. Totally not a vampire, guys! He's coming from the beginning of Act 3. CONTENT WARNINGS: for violence, murder, physical abuse, brain parasites and nonconsensual sexual situations. Opt-out is here!
[ SPOILER WARNING HERE ]TLDR Astarion was a city magistrate turned roughly 200 years before the start of the story by a really shitty vampire lord of Baldur's Gate named Cazador. In D&D lore, true vampires create spawn, who get the immortality + all the weaknesses of being a vampire, and also are compelled to obey their masters. Astarion's spent the last couple of centuries being tortured by Cazador and luring victims home for him, and he's real goddamn pissed about it. His current state of freedom from Cazador's control is thanks to a brief abduction by Mind Flayers who put a parasite in his brain, which is negating most of his vampiric banes right now (yay!) but also means he will eventually become a Mind Flayer (boo!)
Astarion can be flirty and mean and a little chaotic, he's only just started to understand that maaaaybe some people are trustworthy. But none of them are here so ??
CR YOU WANT: ☼ Friends...? Prepare for this to take time. ☼ Enemies! Much easier, he pisses off a lot of people. He is especially wary of monster hunters for some weird reason. (alternatively, if you're not down for potentially negative CR let me know!) ☼ Frenemies! Or if you just want to be catty about other Summoned, he's all pointy ears.
CR YOU DON'T WANT: Because of his history Astarion tends to treat sex (and/or 'romance') as transactional, so while he flirts and acts like he's down to f, it's a little more complicated than his libertine attitude suggests. I'm definitely open to exploring both for him, but we should definitely discuss it first!
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: ☼ Vampire stuff! He will be feeding off of rats while in Cadens, which isn't ideal (grats on the rat population around Mag's going down tho...?) If someone wants to offer their neck or wrist to him he might accept - unless you're weird about it (ACT 2 SPOILERS).
☼ Blood stuff! Have you been experimented on (or experimenting on yourself) and want him to notice your stinky blood?
☼ ...brain surgery?
☼ His domain is going to be an airship with hot nude statues, and he wants at least one portrait of himself. Anyone know a good artist? He can't use a mirror :(
