what if I started sketching them as pulp fiction stills

Me, yesterday: 'I think Durge, with their joint obsession on murder and violent domination - and who, again, has a faction of Bhaalists they've taught to think of themselves as slaves and to shun wealth and other 'excess' - would make a brilliant orthodox Banite.'

Ruins of Zhentil Keep: 'Orthodox Banites believe that the followers of Bane exist only to do his will, kill his enemies, and bring more followers into the nest. Things such as personal wealth and power are secondary, even meaningless, when compared to spreading the faith of Bane.'

Slave to our evil overlord, ✔ Murder, ✔ Excess is a secondary priority at best and evil at worst, ✔

(Then Fzoul decided they should make money and that evil vizier styles were as valid a method of tyranny as direct rule as a warlord; cue religious schism and a lot of bickering and murder while Bane gives everybody knives to stab each other with and a thumbs up.)

I will testify that even if I strongly dislike, utterly hate, and cannot stand a character, I will never go on someones post talking about liking that character and say so. Basic decency and all that

Here's the ridiculous theory (which is definitely not canon) of the night for you: What if Durge was actually Iyachtu Xvim reincarnated, and the guy's mysterious 'mother' was actually Bhaal all along?

...vain, arrogant [...] He delights in slaying and destroying things. He needs to dominate all beings around him, and he enjoys seeing mortals grovel and sobbingly beg for mercy. [...] delights in death and destruction [...] nothing worthy is accomplished without the destruction of something else... - Faiths and Avatars

I mean Bhaal and Bane both have 'fear me, world domination, murdermurdermurder' on their list of hobbies and raisons d'être, so the Urge can very easily just be Bhaal being Bhaal, but Durge is instinctually notably very much about the whole 'crush the world underfoot and bask in terrified worship' sometimes seeming to be more into that than murder ('My sole desire is to dominate the world over and leave it trembling beneath my feet.' But... murder??), or as they put it, roughly: 'it's pronounced 'kneel and grovel afore me.''

It's mildly irritating that draconic sorcerers get flight, but not their wings. If HotU could give the Hero of Waterdeep wings at the appropriate level 22 years ago then my Tavs and Durges (and any other characters I slap dragon ancestry on, for that matter) can have their bloody wings.

... Also those scales should be covering more of the body than that. It just... bugs the hell out of me that you have random scales on your face and are just a regular squishy skinned mammal everywhere else. We're evolving into a half-dragon over here: so turn me into a half-dragon.

I really just think Bane's character growth over Shadowdale and Tantras is so interesting.

[firebastardextraordinaire]

Thinking about how Bane became to dependent on Blackthorne, grew to enjoy his presences so very much- that after the man died (due to Bane's carelessness with magic during a time where magic was very unstable) that Bane cried so much he was blinded by his tears that he thought the first person who came to talk to him was Blackthhorne (even though he fully understood the other was dead) but it wasn't Blackthorne, it was Fzoul- and Bane just imprinted on Fzoul like a baby chicken.

[firebastardextraordinaire]

“Fzoul Chembryl had the loudest voice and the most intense passion for Bane’s cause. Though the God of Strife knew Fzoul had opposed his will in the past, he felt a growing admiration for the handsome, red-haired priest, as Fzoul argued for the eventual dissolution of the Zhentarim, of which Fzoul was second in command, and the reformation of the Black Network under the strict authority of Bane himself. Naturally Fzoul requested to be considered for the position of leader of these forces, but the decision would be Bane’s alone, Fzoul cried, and Bane’s wisdom was beyond criticism.” — Forgotten Realms: Avatar Trilogy, Book One (Shadowdale)

🌺 Tell me a preconeption/headcanon you have for one of my characters... 🌺

And I’ll rate how accurate it is on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being way off and 10 being basically canon!

Furiously scribbling notes! Thanks so much for the information!!!

Some of the original traits it was possible for a tiefling to manifest included casting no shadow or reflection.

Honestly get a tiefling - who, like all tieflings, looks mostly like a regular human with hints of Other (usually subtle) - with: no shadow, no reflection, fangs, and sharp claw-like nails, who is cold to the touch, and nobody's going to notice the difference when they become a vampire!

While retconning BG3's tieflings back to pre-4e lore, I'm considering giving Aurelia the vampire-tiefling model. I wonder if 'Oh no, don't worry. I'm just a vampire' is going to soothe things over if you get confronted over being a devil child? I feel like tiefling is the safer option, by a small margin. At least you have a pulse, won't eat people and clerics of Kelemvor and Lathander will leave you alone.

(Also on Toril your lack of reflection and shadow implies that your Lower Plane ancestor was the God of Thieves. Have fun with that.)

Oh! Mask mention! Can you elaborate a bit on that last part because one of my oc ideas I have is a shitty little raccoon bastard godspawn of mask, so I’m very curious if there are canon traits that would come from being a child/descendant of everyone’s favorite genderfluid God of Shenanigans

Baldur's Gate was like do you want the suave sexy vampire or the sassy doomed wizard or the hot barbarian tiefling lady, and I said I choose the underdeveloped stinky 40 year old emo raccoon man who's committed the worst atrocities in the game.
