I had this idea about our beloved bg3 party as a real-life DND group AU in my head for a long while. I think I`ll never get to writing the big thing, because the amount of text I`m gonna have to write is Odyssey level. Unfortunately, I don`t have the time or the energy to focus on it after work. I made my peace with settling for less because there is one specific scene I can imagine writing, but it`s still only a draft as of now. Still, the ideas for each character and for the story as a whole were too important for me personally to abandon completely, so here goes.

ASTARION

Nothing too original here to be lore compliant. Unfortunately, he works at a club called «The Wasted Prayer» as a sex worker. The name of the club came from a dialogue piece between him and Gale when he says he tried calling to every god he could think of but no one answered

He graduated from Harvard Law School. Elle Woods style. Legally platinum blonde

One of the most popular metaphors for vampirism is addiction, so he keeps working for this AU`s version of Cazador because of that

Astarion is his character`s name of course. I thought his real name could be something so sweet that his life`s tragedy would seem even more devastating. Something like Angel

SHADOWHEART

Hot Topic queen. She works there. She also has about three million other part-time jobs. No one knows how she does it.

She uses the praying hands emoji all the time (this one )

At first everyone thought she was just a religious gal, nothing wrong with that. But the more she speaks about religion the odder her ideas become. There`s a slow realization that he «adoptive family» she grew up in was a full on cult. The cult stole her from her real parents whom she will definitely find one day

The best dressed. God`s favorite princess. God`s blackest lipstick. God`s skimpiest outfit.

The cult would give her a new name, something oldschool like Virtue or Prudence. Her real name would be Jennifer

GALE

Gale. Oh boy, Gale. He used to be a famous scientist along with that other cool professor who curated his work and was very interested in him (you got it! It was Mystra!) in every way possible if you know what I mean. Gale was never allowed to finish his studies because of a messy plagiarism conflict though. His field was strictly humanitarian, something like history. Mystra`s as well, so one day he just borrowed from her works because in his eyes they became so intertwined it didn`t even matter. She`s about 10-15 years older than him in this AU and took a liking to him when he was about 18-19 years old. Needless to say, their relationship was fucked up because of that power dynamic. Gale doesn`t fully comprehend that.

Gale is sure that there`s nothing to live for anymore. The orb in his chest represents his suicidal thoughts. He`s still a people pleaser, so he wants to off himself as soon as the campaign ends.

He works in a library and lives on its upper floor

He has a cat named Tara ofc!

Gale has a very good relationship with his mother, they call each other at least 2 times a week

KARLACH

She goes out of her way to hide her cancer diagnosis from the rest of the party. She got it while working for Gortash because of atrocious working conditions. She can`t afford the treatment, so she`s living every day like her last and tries enjoying it to the fullest while also not wanting to die. The treatment itself also scares her

Her name`s Kara

WYLL

BUT DON`T YOU WORRY! Prince Will (duh) to the rescue!

He`s the local mayor`s son but he has a difficult relationship with his dad

Wyll`s dad doesn`t approve of his relationship with Karlach

But Wyll couldn`t care less because he loves her and he`ll still do anything to help her stay alive

LAE`ZEL

I ship Shadowzel in this one so good for Lae`zel to have a goth gf

I think her name could be Liz (short for Elisabeth ofc but don`t you dare call her by the full name. She`s not a fan)

She has a prestigious military job despite being very young

She wants to go further in her career but certain parts of her character`s backstory imply that maybe… it`s not what she really wants…

HALSIN

A super chill guy who`s very nice in a chronically outside kind of way. Always wishes everyone good morning and good night in the discord group chat

He didn`t go far with his character`s name because his real name is Hal

His battle against Ketheric Thorm is based on his real life struggle to save the local park. A company called THORM ENTERPRISE would really like to destroy it and build a shopping center instead. I wonder how that goes…

MINTHARA

So I have a couple of weirdly specific ideas about her. Firstly, I think she`d be a cop. Secondly, her name would be Miranda. Thirdly, she has a very nice singing voice.

JAHEIRA AND MINSK

Listen, Jaheira is a DND pro. She`s old, okay? She`s been at it for ages!

I think that her real name is Eugenia Lesnova. She`s a Soviet immigrant who moved decades ago. She has no problem with technology whatsoever despite being a boomer. Others often joke that she`s a Soviet spy. She brings the best pirogi to every session. Her reasoning is that it`s way healthier than pizza that everyone would have ordered otherwise.

Jaheira is her classic character that she`s been playing for many years, so her backstory is very thought through and her roleplaying skills are out of this world.

Minsk is actually her son in this AU! He really wanted to join, so she helped him create his character.

WITHERS

The DM master who mysteriously disappears soon as the campaign is finished. Was it really Jergal? No. No way it was. Impossible. Right?

That`s all I`ve got for you today! As I said before, I`m definitely writing a piece of this AU as a fanfic pretty soon! It`s going to be about Isobel, Ketheric and maybe – just maybe – saving the park from the shadow curse?

I`d love to hear your thoughts and opinions about this AU or perhaps your very own modern AU ideas? Thank you so much for reading this! It means the world to me.

Baldur's Gate fanartists will draw Astarion like a renaissance painting and Wyll like the cover of an adventure novel and Gale like a Leyendecker drawing and Karlach like the cover of a trashy romance novel (where she is the beefy hunk and her love interest is the swooning maiden) and Lae'zel like a knight in a manuscript and Shadowheart and Minthara like the cover of a lesbian pulp novel and Halsin coming out of a lake like the bear equivalent of the Birth of Venus and they're all so right

Because I'm very normal about Minthara and Shakespeare, here's a written version of the changes Emma Gregory made to Richard III's Act 1, Scene 1 Soliloquy for this brilliant cameo.

Key: Orange is the Original Text and Purple is the Modification

Richard III - Act 1, Scene 1 Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this [son of York | web of Lolth]; And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house In the deep bosom of the [ocean | Underdark] buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums chang’d to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smooth’d his wrinkled front: And now, instead of [mounting barded steeds | casting barbed spells] To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady’s chamber, To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shap’d for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamp’d, and want love’s majesty To strut before a wanton [ambling] nymph; I, that am curtail’d of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling Nature, Deformed, unfinish’d, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up – And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me, as I halt by them – Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the [sun | Narbondel's light], And descant on mine own deformity. And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, I am determined to [prove a | play the] villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days. Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous, By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams, To set my [brother Clarence | House Baenre] and the [King | Queen] In deadly hate, the one against the other: And if [King Edward | the Queen] be as true and just As I am subtle, false and treacherous, This day should [Clarence | my siblings] closely be mew’d up, About a prophecy, which says that ['G' | 'M'] Of [Edward’s heirs | the Queen] the murderer shall be – Dive, thoughts, down to my soul: here [Clarence | Lolth] comes.

I might have given somewhat not clear prompt to Ms. Gregory but she nailed it as Minthara. (it was supposed to be cruel speech to drow and other living thing that those betrayed and laughed at her of Menzoberanzann when she took it over, back as a ruler) But anyway, I did little bit of edit because she addressed me directly (so one part might be feel weird, just little bit because I don't know how to edit smoothly). I will be more clear to her or anyone for future request.

@by-izzmizz @harpershigh Here you go, you Minty worshippers. 😂😂

she's still in my head (minthara) (from house baenre)
