A few headcanons that are used in my Durge's lore and story [CW FREE!]

As a pre-story post to water this dry blog as it waits for my story to drop, please consider taking a look at the headcanons/changes I use in the story. These changes do no affect the overall canon and implied canon events mentioned in BG3.

Orin is a redhead [this looks better to me, this also makes her and Durge look more 'sister-like'] and stands at 5'2" [It just makes sense to me that she would be short]. Her hair is also down and free flowing in the story, she does not wear her mutilated carcass until closer to her betrayal against Durge

Ketheric Thorm actually wears the cloak and helmet as seen in his concept art during certain scenes of the story and he stands at 6'4" in my head.

Enver Gortash is turkish, it again makes sense to me from his appearance to his name. His height is 5'10" and has a dad bod. He is still 'burly' as Lady Wisteria Jannath put so candidly. There's just a sexy chonk belly. His age isn't directly told like my Durge's but I headcanon he is in his 40s-50s during events. I also enjoy headcanon of him also liking older women as a consequence of his mommy issues. Hint hint...my durge is in her early 40s.

I have personal headcanons of Bhaal that will be used to explain certain aspects and interactions with my Durge and him - as a personal narrative choice.

Sarevok Anchev is the tallest, he's 6'6"

THE DARK URGE - MAAKALIZE

Introductory Post for my Durge - SLIGHT CONTENT WARNING LATER - please see my pinned post for more content warnings.

Alright BG3 community – I’ve gatekept my OC long enough, it’s time to show off her bleeding colors. I present to you, the rogue blood sorceress, raised by witches, and made from Bhaal’s unholy blood: 

Maakalize – The Dark Urge

Please note that this outfit is her in-game appearance as well in my head, I just try to match her look the best I can with mods!

Design explanation: She wears sorceress robes that are made from a velvety texture. Her shoulder pads are made of lighter leather – along with her tail glove, atop her shoulder pads are glowing and active eyeballs that give her an advantage to surprise attacks, they often look around and maybe even make eye contact with you. 

She also has boots that instead of a normal rubber outsole – it is a translucent rubber with pickled intestines inside. Her free sleeves are split down the middle, allowing free arm movement when crafting blood weaponry and spells. She wears a black-out veil with clean eye holes cut into it. She also wears robes often to conceal herself throughout the story [mainly to explain why some people in your past won’t recognize you off the bat] and a black headband with tear drops engraved and the medallion of Bhaal in the middle.

She has middle parted long wavy hair – though she doesn’t wash often, so her hair is often weighed down. She wears black and red lipstick interchangeably. As well as, not having traditional origins: not having any infernal scales, she is completely smooth-skinned, aside from her aging wrinkles and the colorless veins protruding throughout her body – a trait that curated within her as the urges manifested. And deep, vacant blood eyes with glowing red pearls inside.

Her color scheme was originally inspired by Power’s manga appearance in Chainsaw Man – Pinkish hair and red horns. I planned to change her color to red or gray, however, I thought the red/pink/black/ and gray color scheme directly symbolized what a murder looks like:

Pink - Flesh

Red - The blood

Gray - Cold dead skin

Black - Death

(I love putting symbolism in things if you can’t tell!) So I stuck with it. Please note I am a beginner artist and do not practice art super often, I enjoy drawing emotions through faces and through clothing designs. So be gentle with me. (However I would pay good money for someone to create this outfit in a mod for me lol Im dead serious.) Her IN-GAME FACE IS HER CANON FACE HOWEVER – what she wears, is not. 

Her character description: [CONTENT WARNINGS: MENTIONS OF M*RDER, N*CROPHILIA, AND **PE.]

Maakalize (MAA-KILL-EEZE) is a brutal, unforgiving blood sorceress. She is the first pure-blooded spawn of Bhaal — making her a proper half-corpse and half-goddess in her own respects. 

Placed on Toril as the avatar of slaughter, her true purpose is to snuff out every last life in existence and leave a baron, empty world for the Gods to grieve for — her Father’s dream everlasting. Maakalize wishes to bring that dream to life, the means to get there are trivial and small, it is all for her dear Father she loves so much and cherishes so dearly.  

She is the ultimate manifestation of murder itself - a tiefling with no infernal ties made with long pink wavy hair, red horns, and bloody eyes — the physical color pallet of gore itself, black small veins pulsing from her smooth, gray skin. Her teeth are slightly crooked, with black gums and grey dirty teeth. And a slayer form that is unique only to her. Her face — familiar only to Bhaal, a haunting beauty for some, a freakish nightmare for others. Depends on one’s preferences. 

Using her Blood manipulation sorcery for her murders, rapes, and necrophilic tendencies, her masked terror has reached far and wide across Baldur’s Gate and the paths beyond. Her formal title is The Dark Urge — an appropriate term for her cruelty and primal power of murder. 

She has the ability to manipulate blood — that ability can heal wounds, steal blood from other wounds, or even put blood into bodies. Blood weapons are her favorite practice, if she is supplied with enough of it she can create larger and more sturdy weapons that last longer. Of course these abilities have their limits as we will explore later. Her favorites are the sickles, the kitchen knife, the garrote, the crowbar, and the hammer. If given enough blood she can even make a blood scythe that is good for one use. A certain mother-mentor and daughter-mentee relationship is to blame for her vast experience with her magics. 

Some rough sketches of her blood armory; [There is also symbolism with what weapons she chooses from - curious to see if any true crimes peeps can catch it]

She always wears a black out velvet veil with the eye holes precisely cut for her eyes to pierce through and hunt. Her gore boots boost her height of 6’0” to 6’1”. Her shoulder pads have red eyes that give her an alertness boost in combat, as well as giving the heebie jeebies when you notice all of the glowing red eyes move on their own. Her black and red gothic robes are made from a velvet texture, infused with magics I will delve more into later! 

In certain sentences depending on her moods, typically her overzealous ones, Maakalize will use phrases such as, “Eh?”, “No?”, “Hath” and even, “Tis”.

Some other names of Maakalize:

The Dark Urge [Duh]

Daughter of Bhaal

The Witch of Bhaal

Bloody Mary/ Mary (A nickname given by someone) 

Red Antler

Kali

-

Her entire interpretation and story is completed - I am still working on the story's execution. A few personal things are coming up which has delayed me and I am nervous as hell to share her. Not sure how people will react. But I hope the durge multiverse accepts her - I've been working on her for almost a year now!

I understand a lot of ppl customize durge - so some will have physical similarities', idc about that but please do not steal her design, my art, or the plotline I carefully curated over time. You will be blocked.

Magic, Murder, Kill

Another post for activity -- doodled this during work - when ur comfort character is an uncomfortable character.

[thewitchofbhaal]

The Blood-Sisters of Bhaal

Maakalize - The Dark Urge, the cruel Blood sorceress

Orin the Red - Bhaal's blood letter, the shape-shifting assassin

Please see my pinned posts for more info on my Durge OC :) she's means a lot to me! And her in-game appearance is different to what's headcanon and I have doodled her canon design on my blog! A little shy and nervous to show her this much - hello customized durge community!

Screenshots are from my game of course.

[thewitchofbhaal]

Some art coming

I am getting more confident with posting my art again, we can thank BlueSky for that. That place is the Valhalla of social media.

I am going to post more art of my durge Maakalize, and other characters like Orin, Bhaal, and other original characters in my DND/BG3 story.

I am excited!

Carrd Co Link added!

Hello all,

Update, my story will be postponed for a little. Holiday madness coming up.

Wanted to post that I will be using a carrd site as the pathway to my story. I will publish the story as a google doc. No one will be allowed to comment or edit the doc, only view it.

Thanks! I am excited to post it -- regardless if I speak through the void.

Re-blogging :)
