wyll pirate au

a continuation of one of my other posts, just a big dump of ideas i had

-wyll had a very adventurous spirit as a kid, specifically as it relates to the sea (he almost drowned trying to find mermaids in the harbour, etc.) and always had this dream in the back of his mind of leaving baldurs gate and adventuring all across faerun

-despite daydreaming of adventure free from obligation, he accepts that he has a duty to his father and city as its Grand Duke, which would require similar degrees of travel (i think?) anyways

-when he gets disowned by his father, wyll joins an exploring voyage, partially out of complete loss of other ideas, he's spent his whole life training to succeed his father

-the ship gets ambushed by pirates!!!!!!!!!!! yarrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-young wyll gets captured, spared, accepted into the crew by the pirate captain dread-pirate-roberts style, and fucking flourishes, since he's agile, can swashbuckle, has dramatic flair, etc. and bonds really well with the crew and captain

-also, he hides his sending stone eye, a symbol of his connection with mizora, which he can't get out, with a sick eyepatch (yarrr!!!!)

-he gets the position of captain, as the former, who wants to retire, made a really good living pirating and wyll inherits the title of the blade of high seas, scourge of the sword coast (or smth like that), dread-pirate-roberts style again

-also maybe they have like a found-father-son sword fight as a ceremonial thing of him inheriting it

-'the blade' is a really notorious name in the pirating world, with few knowing their true identity, only that they've had a LONG and storied career, and rumors float around about them being all kinds of things, a mask wyll can hide behind easily

-he cares deeply for his crew, but is still controlled to mizora to a degree. so, she uses them as leverage against him to get him to take out the odd enemy of hers when the ship reaches port

-he also tries to conceal signs of his pact, trying not to use warlock powers unless he needs to, covering the eye, etc. (his horns aren't there yet, unless he refuses to kill someone for mizora, which would make the horns a warning sign before bringing harm to his crew)

-he feels horrifically guilty about that, and tries to make up for it by being a sort of gentleman pirate figure in faerun, stealing and pillaging only from the deserving, but with great ruthlessness

-him and his crew are very notorious, to the point where they're equal parts criminal and celebrity (kinda), sort of inspirational robin hood figures if you get my drift

-if we're going by the main bg3 game storyline, his ship would encounter the mind flayer airship, and wyll would be snatched away in the middle of the storm, having to search for members/news of his crew along with his father, with tav/others discovering that he's a pirate, a warlock, the blade, and THE SON OF THE GRAND DUKE in that order

-otherwhise, the tadpole gang each get recruited or board the ship individually for some other reason idk i didnt think about this that much

other cool stuff:

-the ship has a merperson (maybe w/ horns? idk) as a figurehead

-wyll has a little pet dragon instead of a parrot

-romantic swordfight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-he 'secretly' loves dancing/ cheesy romance novels but tries to hide it from his crew so they think he's tough (they totally know but won't say anything bc they want him to have his fun)

-also long hair. this is a very important detail.

Day 2966 Crosstober 27: Wyll Ravengard as Will Turner

[anreed-bg3]

The future Boatswain of “The Righteous” Wyll appeared on the ship the same day as Karlach. A little misunderstanding between them was resolved shortly after one good-natured overboard throw. Since then, their friendly fights have been a source of fun on the ship that Wyll now calls his second home.

Wyll, the Boatswain. “The Righteous” (4/12)

okay me and @duffyyy911 are cooking on that bg3 pirate au

lil info : it'll be a tav x astarion, pretty much most main characters you can expect in bg3 will be present and play a part! it's not a retelling, there might be some winks to the og bg3 storyline tho! although i can't say if it'll be heavy on romance or not, i can say that i hope i won't lose my hyperfixation before i finish this project!

this delulu appeared to me in yet another insomnia and i couldn't shut up about it :D so i plagued my bestie's brain with it and now i finally gathered some strength to write it !!

i hope y'all will like it hehe

[rottenhoney0324]

It's giving siren's favourite prey

And I'm that siren

[owllamb]

wyll would absolutely thrive as a pirate and nobody can tell me otherwise. he swashbuckles for fun, is missing an eye and could swap it for an eyepatch, has a flair for the dramatic like?????????????????? also he was obsessed with mermaids as a kid??? get this man on a boat

edit: i made another post w/ pirate au details and stuff if you want to check it out :)
