bg3 caiying only approves 'mean' choices that are superficially mean. like you just say something smart to someone. not, like, unfathomable amounts of carnage and destruction choices.

"can I be mean for a sec?" Is a sacred statement made by girls when they are about to reveal their most deep rooted self

[cryoweaving]

Another quick BG3 verse update since I've done some more thinking about it.

Caiying is a high half-elf bard (School of Lore) from Baldur's Gate. She's a well-known, charming performer that puts on elegant musical acts for the nobles of Baldur's Gate. There's not much that is known about her background; she showed up one day and started her career by giving street performances. People only truly know small portions about her life with rumors filling in the rest. She's not someone who refutes or confirms the bigger scandalous words about her but rather just tilts her head and muses: "I did not think people thought me so interesting."

She, in fact, became a performer to the nobles of Baldur's Gate to insert herself in the secrets and gossips of the city, but she keeps the reasons for doing so close to her chest.

[cryoweaving]

bg3 oc notes for me bc i might make a blog (teehee). also i don't care about that much about the deity system in bg3 bc i'm gonna hijack it (another teehee).

anyway -- so imagine you have a diviner that literally keeps seeing visions and says cryptic shit to you like withers. like you're just chilling during a long rest and they're like calling out ur d*rk urge character like 'the blood of death. that which is lost hides only the horrors of thine own hands. hand crushes life, hand brings life. when the blood runs warm once more, what will you choose?' and then snaps out of their prophetic daze to smile and show you this cool insect they find before listing like 50 fun facts about it.

they see and hear things, awake or not; willingly or not. it plagues them all the time that it is noticeable they do not sleep well but the shadows under their eyes. they can barely remember their own prophetic murmurs but when something they have seen comes to pass it is like an overwhelming sense of deja vu. or when they no something terrible is coming they are so tense and on guard yet they cannot speak it for others to understand.

they ( their name is theia so i will use now ) are so socially awkward. theia has lived in solitude in a room closed off from the outside world in some temple that took them in when they were abandoned as a child. the others treat them with an indifferent sense of kindness ; they provide for them but do not offer any affection beyond that. once they had begun to realize that whatever comes from their mouth comes true, they start confiscating any scribblings of theia's prophecies and use them for their own ends along with other things.

frustratingly, theia is extremely passive in their life. they allow life to take them wherever, listen to whoever, and tend not to react to much else. that doesn't mean they don't feel things, but while everyone else laughs they may only smile. despite growing isolated and thus becoming socially awkward or missing social cues, theia displays a high level of understanding about others; perhaps not anything super emotional. but one part of their journey in bg3 is to become more open in their emotions and care deeply for others. the other half is, of course, to turn their passive behavior into something proactive.

since they are at least subconsciously aware of certain events of the future, they're inclined to not put up a fight, simply letting the whims of fate take them where it will. but i think the personal quest centers on the good ole 'diviner forsees their own death' whereby in order to perserve the divination ability she is pushed to consider sacrificing themselves so their spirit may be sealed within stave and the ultimate display of progression to defying that which is preordained is to refuse dying at the last moment. before the sword swings so to speak.

it's about the religious indoctrination of the sacrifice and of how it is a reward to be the martyr for others, of 'love is pain' teachings they receive as they grow up, the passivity that can turn deadly, the taking back of fate.

they love sewing and insects and small animals. they love running around baldur's gate. they always offer an ear to the other companions. they are not that knowledgable about the outside word but they have keen eyes and are observant. they have read books upon books. their knowledge is deep but hidden.
