I'll cling to my "Durge remains an outsider and quasi-deity" headcanon 'til the world ends and won't let go, but I suppose there's a potential story in Jergal rendering them fully mortal, because mine... would not take the theft of their divinity well. (Having been forged and used as a murder weapon and other things beside from "birth", with promises of godhood and destiny whispered in your ear your entire life... all this warping your mind, and then being brutally murdered, having everything you were stripped away and told to live a normal life with all that blood and filth on your tainted flesh, and your mind warped and twisted into obscene shapes, left behind in a world you don't belong in... yeah no. That's not working out well with this guy.)

After a few subsequent rage freak outs the cycle would just begin anew as it continued in Bhaal; adventuring in search of power, researching gods and ancient powers to hunt down and slay for their divinity. Maybe the hunt should start with the Dead Three... Myrkul went down easily enough... Doesn't have to be a full god; just so long as he's not forced to be a person.

That or he'll just find a way to annihilate his soul.

#Everybody: “You have won personhood!” :D #Vel: “I don't WANT it!!!”#It might destroy his relationship with Astarion but Vel fundamentally cannot/won't live as a mortal #He's barely coping as an abandoned godchild that's just one blow too far - he's lost his father his faith his purpose #Will you steal the only stable identity he has left too Withers??#After a lifetime of people deciding what he is for him #Suddenly somebody deciding he's to be a regular mortal with the burden of his past+free will will destroy the last shreds of coping he has #The best he can do is wait out a few centuries under the assumption that his lover will tire of him eventually and free him to this task #He *might* chill out with time but never completely #OCs #Vel #edgelord hours #/durge #babbling
