#bg3 Dark Urge

[taygra5shaon]

@hellothisisangle , thanks you for giving us the template for this! and thanks you @kawareo for giving me the idea to do this (saw your version with Strike, and I love it, so, thanks)

It's a bit of a interesting concept to make, so, when I saw this challenge, I couldn't resist, so there they are!

first of all, as you see, green and red are HUGE part of all of version of Jacq (because I love those color). the colors topical of the races are a bit off, because Bhaal know shit about them.

His background doesn't change, he is raised by a human woman and a hobgoblin for 6 years until the cult take him back. he still became a druid after the tadpole (part of my canon), but the classes before it are differents.

His personality doesn't change a lot, but there are parts of it that got more prominent depending on the race.

here we go:

Lolth-sworn Drow: (cleric of the death domain) similar to his tiefling form, he is a pretty big guy, his skin is a weird shade of green, very different from the others drows. he's a bit more calm and suave than the original version.

Forest Gnome: (ranger gloom stalker) this little guy he's the most composed of them all, and the most malicious. He is quite tall for a gnome, but all version of Jacq are quite bigger than the normal, so is to be expected.

Ghit: (monk of the way of the shadow) this little shit is sassy, and is not afraid to show it. as a ghit raised in Baldur's Gate, a lot of people were curious about him, but this version of Jacq is an isolationist, he just disappeared when people got to close (the society of brillants wanted to study him, but it didn't go well).

Human: (paladin oathbreaker) oh, he was a paladin of Bhaal, before the tadpole, and after that, without even knowing, became a oathbreaker because he is nice with people. he is like the original version, even if a bit more grumpy.

Orc: (sorcerer draconic bloodline) same as the original version, but more chill. he is a mountain of an half orc, really intimidating but nice guy inside.

High Elf: (bard of the college of swords ) ohhhh, he is charming as hell this guy, and a bit arrogant. he prefer the violin and the arp as instruments, and he is a good dancer. he is the least bigger of them all, but he is freaking tall and creepy.

Mountain Dwarf: (rogue assassin) found it funny that he is a REAL cannibal, because is a dwarf who eat others dwarfs , lol. he is a proud little guy, who stab people just because. Gale go crazy because of that.

Black and green Dragonborn: (barbarian berserker) should I explain how this motherfucker is a big intimidating machine of death ? the biggest Dragonborn in circulation, he can transform in a real dragon if he want, and he bite. it became a competition with Astarion for how many people they bite.... he is very intelligent despite been barbarian.

so, here we are.

Evil enemies-to-lovers ships are cute and reasonable actually.

It's literally so much easier to spy on someone, infiltrate their evil schemes, get inside their head and drain their bank accounts if you just... move in together.

Get a cute little apartment to hold all their precious stuff in. (That's your hoard now!)

Do your plotting side by side over morning coffee so you can circumvent them at every turn.

Thoughtfully inquire about their day each night before bed so you never miss a detail.

Manipulate them in subtle, impossibly clever ways. Like complimenting their new cologne so they stop buying the cheap shit you're allergic to. Slowly shift them to your way of thinking.

Wear their shirt around the house to assert dominance.

Employ sex to settle conflicts.

Forsake all others. This is a critical security measure, as it avoids involving third parties that would definitely get hurt just to get to you. (Try killing my lover now, you fool!)

Get married to ensure your assets are protected when your enemy spouse inevitably succumbs to failure at your hands.

When they do fail, pick them back up yourself (psychological warfare - make them indebted to you and gain their trust).

Destroy their enemies to assert dominance. They should fear you and no one else. (Besides, all your plots and belongings are so intermingled now, things get messy and their enemies are not smart enough to avoid stepping on your toes. Better to just eliminate them.)

Raise a family together. Usurp their entire lineage.

Two manipulative and traumatized twinks together what could go wrong? (Literally everything lmao)

Anyway I added a snippet of my Maeth’s lore summary for more context to this,

I’ve been wanting to illustrate this for a while, because it’s quite an important part of Maeth, how he was willing to do literally anything just to get a semblance of being loved, even tho he was clearly disgusted about what he was doing. It isn’t an easy subject, and I wasn’t sure how to approach it and didn’t want to make it too heavy either, but ehhh I gave it a try 🥲 (take care of yourself 🫶🏻)

[hekuuu]

he won’t bite, he's just playing 😌

Baldurs Gate 3 is so wild when you realise how vastly different the game is depending on if you choose Tav or Dark Urge

Dark Urge Playthrough: you’re the child of Bhaal, but unlike the Bhaalspawn, you are created solely by Bhaal himself. The first true child of Bhaal. The daughter of one of your father’s previous Bhaalspawn turns on you, attacks you and tries to kill you. In your dying state, she infects you with a parasite so that you’ll die an incredibly humiliating death, and become her slave.

By some miracle you end up on the same nautiloud ship as a Sharron Cleric who happens to to be carrying a gith artefact that contains Baldur himself. Baldur, who was made a mind flayer and is now calling himself the Emperor, realises there’s an incredibly powerful Bhaalspawn on the ship, and that he can use them to his advantage. The power you have will help him destroy Gortash. Of course he picks you, it makes so much sense.

On your way to Baldurs Gate you find out through an unsent letter that you used to be into Gortash. When you get to Baldurs Gate, the man you used to fuck turns out to be an absolute loser and with horror you realise he is still into you. It’s okay though, he’s very easy to kill.

You end up facing off against Orin, your niece, and kill her. Your father appears to you and offers you the chance to become his Slayer. On the high chance you turn him down, he murders you in front of your loved ones, and leaves you to rot.

Then Jergal, the actual Lord of the End of Everything, the original God of Death, who was the very being that turned you father into a God all that time ago, who’s been in your camp for weeks pretending to be this undead scribe called Withers, appears next to your corpse and brings you back to life, basically adopts you, states that he will protect you from Bhaal, and announces that as long as he lives, you will never die. You’re essentially immortal.

Tav Playthrough: you’re a random nobody that was unlucky enough to get kidnapped by Mind Flayers. The Emperor must pick one of the many idiots on the ship to be his pawn. He sees Tav and thinks “ugh, yeah this one will do”.

It’s hard to go alone. Take your Bhaalspawn. Even of they have a falling out with their family and are extremely bad at what they’re doing.

I love how the only thing that can save Faerun from unhinged psychopaths is.....
