au where the dark urge can convince orin to abandon bhaal without her getting slayered and killed but durge gets cursed by bhaal to be consumed by their urge in exchange
#is it worth it then. could anything be. she saved durge by killing them. they save her by dying.#sorry was thinking about That Durge Ending and also about orin my sister orin.#always thinking about her (orin the red.)#orin the red#bg#01#bhaalblings#dark urge

the fun thing about having multiple durges with such a different range of ages and times when they came to the temple is that i also essentially get three versions of orin to play with as well
#orin's childhood and the context surrounding her upbringing is extremely different w/ all 3 durges#cor is 15/20? years older than her and came to the temple and claimed it as their own like a month after orin killed helena#meanwhile kaz is significantly older and came to the temple before orin was born. orin grew up in 'kaz's' temple!#and then bran is about orin's age maybe a couple years older and they grew up as like. essentially actual siblings#and durge was imo a pretty significant part of orins life so the changes in both their relationship and also the temple in general give her#such a different starting point for each of them. finding ways to go from that point a to point b (canon game) is so so much fun. for me.#orin the red#dark urge#bhaalblings#01#bg

getting both orin encounters before long-resting for the first time in act 3 is really funny btw. have to imagine my durge is just choosing to ignore everything she's saying every time she pops up
#jaheira (five seconds after the first orin jumpscare): orin seems familiar with you#coronach (already convinced itself it made that up): whag#01#oc: coronach#orin the red#bhaalblings#bg

This is also interesting in regards to my main Dark Urge and Orin dynamic—one of them is a shapechanger latching onto things that give her a complete identity while the other is desperately trying to throw away anything connected to their sense of self—including and up to their own name
one of the things about Orin that fascinates me is how she definitely is a dedicated bhaalist, but not nearly as dedicated to bhaal and how that's shown in a bunch of little (many unintentional) ways! her outfit being red instead of the traditional bhaalist black (or that weird bronze/gold some bhaalist armor gets), her title of the Red given to her not by bhaal nor fellow bhaalists, but by her cognate doppelgangers, the jewelry she shares with her mother but is worn by no other bhaalists, etc.
even before she says "I did all this for [Sarevok]!" and finding her Helena's corpse in Orin's room even after her mother attempted to kill her, a fact which she is clearly and justifiably caught up in, you can still see the breadcrumbs leading to the fact she is primarily driven by her more direct familial connections instead of her god
#they are not necessarily successful at these goals. but theyre there!#and despite neither of them wanting to admit their own goals they do recognize each others#and it (and their lack of success with them) is part of why they do not get along#bhaalblings#orin the red#oc: coronach#you know i dont think ive ever mentioned it but coronach pre-tadpole really did just consider 'the dark urge' their name#coronach is one of the names they used where necessary but it was just one of many to them#it stuck out cause they used it the longest and most frequently compared to the others#so they go by a mix of the two until they settle on coronach#one day i will get into coronach's weird gender stuff. one day.#01#im not entirely sure im getting across what i wanna here#but alas we endure#bg
