Luna Dungardio is a noble high half elf who was born to a human female bard and a high elf druid male. Her father, Apolis and more commonly known as "Blackwood", was a dark archdruid that had a created his own circle from the teachings of the Circle of Spores, granting him a large following. They believed death and decay brings new life to all things, and to keep nature pure from contagion. When he met Serena, and fell in love, that's when it became dangerous. Around the age of five, Luna and her mother were found out by her father's grove and been attacked. The faction considered the child of their beloved Blackwood to be the rot in the roots due to their own demented interpretation of their circle's rule. Blackwood had fought back with animated death at his side, calling a sheltering spell on Luna. In the middle of casting a rather sadistic and torturous, Blackwood was stabbed which caused him to lose concentration on the sheltering spell and release his newest incantation. All were struck dead with vitality slipping from their bones and blood seeping out of every orifice; Luna was not spared. As her life began slipping away Blackwood called on Jergal, the Lord of the Dead, to save his daughter's life and to take his in place. Instead, Bhaal had come to him and made him an offer that he could not refuse. To save Luna, Bhaal bestowed his own blood within her body to make her a spawn and in return, he wanted Luna to be his Chosen. Blackwood accepted, not knowing the true outcome of this deal. As the years progressed and Luna got older, Blackwood noticed that she would hesitate for periods at a time, speaking with someone he could not see. It gotten to a point that he tried to make deals with devils to help out his daughter but before any progress could be made, he was met with a knife's edge that been plunged into his skin by his own daughter. Luna found her way to the Temple of Bhaal and became a leader, devoting herself and her life to her newest 'father'. In the 15th century, at the age of twenty-nine, Luna was betrayed by fellow Bhaalspawn Orin the Red at Moonrise Towers. She had her skull pierced and opened with a dagger, and was infected with a mindflayer tadpole that began to eat her brain, resulting in amnesia, as well as her becoming the first True Soul. Found by Kressa, who been impressed with her willpower and resistance to the elder brain, began to study her by cutting her up and sewing her back together over several days as she couldn't speak or do anything. Luna was then sent on the Nautiloid Ship, where she would soon wake up with no memories of herself or their past. There, she meets a githyanki warrior named Lae'Zel and a half elf cleric named Shadowheart, beginning her journey of self discovery and a path to redemption.

Luna for the [Desire] not-so-nice edition question!

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

To be held. Luna just wants comfort, some stability. She just wants to know that someone is there and that they care. She's always so quick to offer comfort to others in their time of need but no one ever gives it to her-- that was until Astarion.

[astarionbae]

alone, break, ghost + Luna?

alone: How does your OC deal with loneliness? Have they ever been completely alone before? How do they act when there's no one around to see them?

Luna is very much used to being alone, especially when she was first welcomed into the Bhaal Temple by her Butler Sceleritas Fel, because she was very different from the other Bhaalspawns that came before; having been brought back to life with his own mortal flesh and blood. She was kept from the others due to her 'pure' status and due to that, she was taught things and learned things, and done things on her own. That was until she developed a friendship with Enver Gortash who basically became everything to her. Post nautiloid crash and now having amnesia, Luna struggled a lot with a new sense of loneliness that's always been there but now manifested as conscious thing. Everyone knew who they were, what their lives were like, even Shadowheart knew where she was going and doing despite having some of her old memories removed for Shar. Luna didn't have any of that, she only had nightmares but even then they were formless with screams and whispers. The thing Luna knew about herself was that she had this urge inside of her that called on her to commit heinous acts and have intrusive thoughts. It terrified her because she cared immensely and had such empathy, that she felt that it was for the best to have her bedroll further away from them. Then when the Alfira Accident happened and she felt the judgement of these people that she came to know and understand, she becomes more isolated where she chooses to handle with her own struggles last because she puts everyone else first

break: What would cause your OC to break down completely? What do they look like when that happens? Has anyone ever seen them at their lowest?

The lowest Luna has ever been was when she learned about who she was, and how that came to be in Act 3. She's a Bhaalspawn, one of the most feared creatures in Baldur's Gate opposite of vampire(s)/vampire spawn. Learns that she was the one that was behind the idea of creating the Absolute Cult and stealing the crown of Karsus from Mephistopheles' Vault, and that it was in her hubris that she been struck down and tadpoled by her bloodkin Orin. But what broke her completely was the revelation that her birth father, Apolis, had died trying to protect her Karlach and Shadowheart has both seen Luna being very upset and depressed, but the only person who had ever seen her truly breakdown and become pure, unadulterated rage is Astarion. And that rage has only came out when she met Cazador because how he spoke of Astarion and called him a "means-to-an-end" because in hindsight, she was the exact same thing for Bhaal. And when someone recognizes themselves in another's situation, it unlocks a primal instinct to protect them from something that you cannot protect yourself from.

ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?

Her father Apolis. He was the one that unknowingly struck up a deal with an avatar of Bhaal in order to save her life from a spell that he casted and indirectly struck her with. And because of that, Bhaal seen it fit to let him be Luna's first kill when the dark urge took over. She stabbed her own father in the chest with a short sword as a child and was led to the Bhaal Temple where she was then taught and conditioned to worship Bhaal as her lord and as her father because his blood now coursed in her veins. She gone a long time without any thought of her father, she was so young when it happened and didn't fully understand what she did since the urge took over. As the years progress, he merely became a distant echo and she forgot about him. But when her dream guardian of the prism visits her and has taken the shape of her late father, she doesn't necessarily recall / know straight away that it's him. But there's this undeniable sensation that tugs at her because the aura is loving and forgiving, and comforting. So imagine her destress once she learns that her dream guardian is actually the Emperor and he searched her broken mind, caught glimpses of her father, and used that against her.

I got even more Tav questions from that ask game for Luna~🙏😌

This one is specifically for question 70, the free spot to ask any question.

My question is…”What are some headcanons you have for Lustarion?”

Bless you for using that question; You know I'm ALWAYS down for Luna and Astarion inquiries!

Question 70 (free spot): Lustarion Headcanons

Astarion sews Luna's clothing after major battles take place, especially if she had been wearing one of her favorite outfits that been sliced and pierced

When Astarion gets nightmares of Cazador during a trance, Luna will sit and stay with him to make him feel more at ease

Luna and Astarion love to trick people into giving them money by either deception or by her playing her flute to charm the crowd while he pickpockets them

Once Withers revives her after Bhaal kills her, her body gets severely warm because she's not used to having replenished blood (since she was a Bhaalspawn) so she cuddles up with Astarion more often than usual to try and keep cool

Astarion helps Luna braid her hair early in the morning; he takes joy in it but would never say it out loud - especially whenever Gale is near

Luna will get very tired after helping so many people and desperately wants to rest, but shrugs it off when her companions such as Lae'Zel or Wyll ask for her assistance. Astarion, protective as he is, will tell them "No. Luna needs to rest for the evening."

Astarion enjoys kisses, giving and receiving; pecks on the cheeks, forehead kisses, chaste, and passionate kisses. He loves kisses on bare shoulders, on the neck, and in innocent places like on top of hands, fingers, on the crown, and head

On good days, Astarion draws himself a bath just to relax and asks Luna to join as they lay in the tub together and just bask in togetherness

Astarion loves to flirt with Luna unapologetically, making her cheeks flushed because he adores her soft freckles that only show when her face is red

They both trace each other's scars that adorn their bodies, just trying to soothe one another in a state of trust and complete openness.

Luna hums the same tune over and over so much that Astarion starts to hum it, eventually coming up with words for the melody

He teaches Luna how to lockpick the more challenging locks and she in turn teaches him how to make medicine

10, 14, 31 + Luna?

Question 10: If your Tav didn’t become an adventurer, what else would they be doing?

Luna would most likely just stay in Baldur's Gate and open a small bathhouse where she'd sell nice smelling soaps and bath salts, and even candles and soft cloths.

Question 14: Does your Tav know any other languages besides Common? 

She knows Elvish and Druidic because of her father being a High Elf Shadow Archdruid and Draconic due to her mother's best friend, her "aunt", being a dragonborn bard

Question 31: How does your Tav dress for different occasions, like very fancy situations?

Luna loves things that are comfortable, yet can be worn in battle if the need arises. Something like embroidered tunics for lavish parties and yet grants her fluidity and movement. Off the top of my head, this outfit is was comes to mind:

I mean, you know I have to ask: 🎧 + Luna? 💚

People posting about their BG3 Tavs has me in such a mood to bring mine on here just to gush about her! I've had Luna Dungardio for a long time since I used to do DND with my group of friends so having Baldur's Gate 3 has helped me flesh her out more in depth, especially with the Durge plot line that is VERY similar to her actual origin story I developed for her
