I feel like I'm in the minority as far as being hyped for the new 'Viper' class. My OC Durafein is a rogue/assassin type of character so naturally I started him as a rogue. I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the early class and the rogue's guild - but everything abruptly changes to a 'ninja' aesthetic and it becomes very difficult to move away from that and back into the "rogue" look that I wanted for him. So I ended up putting down the class entirely. I'm so hyped to finally have a class that suits a 'rogue/scoundrel' sort of character!

Fan-girl Ramblings: My [1st] Custom Tav, Hestra Lumeth

Being so absorbed in BG3 as of late, figured why not write nonsense about my Tav (inspired a bit by a Twitter post about voicing their background) and since I write some 'serious' fan-fic about this woman... why not do a lengthy post explaining her?

*Usual warning of spoilers and a lot of this is made up from my deranged mind.

Hestra's 'natural' name is actually Keryx, born to Archdevil Zelinor, a succubus, and Veestan Lumeth, a high elven nobleman from the 'secret' city of Ny'nahil [in a valley somewhere within the Greypeak Mountains].

The 'story' goes is that Veestan wanted to recapture his glory days as a troubadour and decided he would seduce and bargain with a devil; specifically a native to the Fourth Layer of the Nine Hells, Phlegethos. Whatever bargain was made resulted in Keryx's birth; an Infernal contract cosigned to flesh.

*Though born to a devil, Keryx was born as a Tiefling and not a Cambion (since her mother is the devil, not her father). She does not inherit any Succubus-related abilities though does 'attain' the traits of the Fierna Bloodline, giving her a natural suave charm and inverting a tiefling's natural 'aura' to unsettle others, instead appearing alluring to most who encounter her and remain within her proximity for an extended amount of time. After her 'reforging' in the Pit of Flame, she developed a couple of succubus traits, mainly the ability for her musk and bodily fluids to behave as aphrodisiacs.

As per the bargain, Keryx was taken to Faerun to be left in the care of Veestan until her thirteenth year, but he wanted nothing to do with his bastard devil and so abandoned her in favor of reliving his fame.

For his vanity and blatant disregard for his own child, Yorilnth banished Veestan fron Ny'nahil and stripped him of all his wealth and titles, bequeathing them to Keryx as his sole (and rightful) heir once of age to utilize her inheritance. In the interim, Yorilnth, reluctantly, became mother to an unwanted tiefling child.

Yorilnth is no ordinary high elf, but an Ancient Silver Dragon that has called Ny'nahil her lair for several centuries now. Though there is no monarchy, the residents of Ny'nahil and her clan refer to her as 'queen'. Keryx was raised, mostly, by Yorilnth and Alioth, the clan's egg keeper, and experienced a relatively lovely and 'normal' upbringing. Keryx grew especially close to Razsermerjur, Yorilnth's youngest child, and the two treated each other as siblings.

Upon the hour Keryx turned thirteen, a Bone Devil suddenly arrived in Ny'nahil and dragged her down to Phlegethos, nearly killing Razsamerjur as the dragon, valiantly, tried to protect their sister from her fate.

For the next twenty-ish years, Keryx was raised in the ways of her Infernal heritage. Every day was a test of survival as Baator was not a kind place to mortals, in any capacity.

Zelinor hated Keryx, being the living embodiment of a great embarrassment yet could not cause harm to her due to the contract she, literally, gave birth to. Yet, Keryx developed a very sharp wit and talent for duplicity and seduction despite the disadvantages of her breeding... skills Zelinor took advantage of to the point Keryx found herself serving as a Justiciar of the Diabolical Courts, when not being utilized as a whore.

To ensure the contract wasn't 'accidentally' broken, Zelinor assigned one of her Cornugons to guard Keryx, with the ulterior intention to test Keryx's ability to charm and seduce. This is how Keryx and Esilith became intimately involved with each other. Keryx seduced her guardian and the two became, madly, enamored with each other.

Through the course of their relationship, Keryx picked up the moniker and stage name 'The Infernal Siren'. With Esilith at her side, the pair wracked up quite the body count. Keryx was so 'in love' with the cornugon, she put herself through horrendous physical trials and torment, such as having her body modified to be the 'perfect' lover and even endured several days within the Pit of Flame (which ruined most of her body and burned away parts of her soul). However, their relationship quickly turned violent when, in a fit of jealous rage, Esilith stabbed Keryx through the heart after learning she was to be 'married' to a another devil.

With her heart rent in half, but alive, Keryx had the brilliant idea to have a variant of an Infernal Engine grafted to her heart; an iron music box that would serve as a spell foci for her infernal bardic work, which solely had relied on her singing voice. Over the course of a year, Keryx wrote a song & performance that came to be known as the 'Song of Ruin' but required the use of her 'music-box heart' to complete the ritual; driving entire armies and cities to ecstatic destruction by instigating orgies and various acts of debauchery until all that were subjected to the song perished, either from sheer exhaustion or violent madness.

The Song of Ruin attracted the interest and attention of the Lords of the Fourth; Archduke Belial and Archduchess Fierna. Keryx served them as, primarily, a saboteur on various fronts of the Blood War as well as other layers of Baator.

At some point, Keryx grew homesick for Faerun and tried to escape, unsuccessfully, several times before entering a contract with Archduchess Fierna to return to the Prime Material Plane... as long as she fulfilled her obligations to create cults and worshippers for Fierna so the Lady of the Fourth could increase her power.

Upon returning to Faerun, Keryx immediately returned to Ny'nahil. Yorilnth, Alioth, Razsamerjur... despite her long absence, Keryx was welcomed home and her family sought to heal what they could of the scars, both physical and mental, that the Nine Hells had left upon her. Keryx struggled to adjust to being a Faerunian, however... and Fierna made her pay for her insubordination.

Archduchess Fierna tormented Keryx with nightmares until the tiefling broke and she attempted to corrupt Ny'nahil. The ritual never finished, as she fled when she realized what she had wrought upon her home.

Adopting the name Hestra while on the road (and rarely ever revealing her surname), Hestra wandered the Sword Coast for a number of years (often carrying out her contractual obligations to Fierna) before starting to settle in Baldur's Gate. She becomes a 'silent partner' with Rizare (a Deeva prostitute turned business owner), wrote and sold plays to theatres around the city and occasionally turnrf sects of the Baldurian aristocracy or common folk to the worship of Fierna.

She further hides her identity by wearing a Ring of Disguise Self that makes her appear more 'normal'; Infernal eyes hidden behind green, tattoos and scarring all smooth flesh

Despite having a string of paramours from all walks of life (though she never physically engaged with anyone, resorting to charm spells to gaslight her 'lovers' into believing otherwise), Hestra staunchly refused to intimately commit to another.

Then the Absolute Crisis happened... Which is where my fan-fic writing tends to focus with this character (with a sprinkling of post-game or AU nonsense).

Hestra was leaving Baldur's Gate, via the Black Dragon Gate, intending to take one of her plays on tour when Absolute Cultists nabbed her and imprisoned her on the Emperor's Nautiloid.

The adventure wasn't all bad, despite being infected by illithid.

Made new friends, saved Faerun and fell (very hard) in love with Lae'zel of Creche K'liir.

And the rest, as they say, is history. I drabbled very long about my Tav, hope you enjoyed. Maybe I'll do more... cause I have a few more Tavs and other OCs.

so... Empurress and Ganthor's ultimate fate...

well it's a little complicated. In some AUs they literally fuse together in a being known as Cosmos. In other AUs...they're sealed away together. ..but hear me out. Only GANTHOR gets sealed away. while Empurress tells her head knight her final wish as she's slowly dying. Knowing that Ganthor thinks they got sealed away together.

Little backstory for my s/i(Kath aka Black cat sona thing) is like, she was very much claimed to be a "gifted child" (it's just the tism) by her stepmom, her stepmom was the reason she moved to Britain cuz of her dad's infatuation. Living on her own now she mostly does art shows to get money, no love or care are put in her pieces anymore. Only like depression IWGEIW,

only coming home to her cat beatle, radiation testing was going on whilst beatle was out and about, she got home and got bitten, thought she had rabies. Still had to go to an auction the next day, she half jacked her presentation the auctioneer himself kept getting on her ass like

"This art doesn't have any feel to it!"

Kath snapped and clawed his eye out, guards showed up and tried to take her down but she escaped quickly, tldr she kinda had a catwomen moment where people thought she died by the guards, she made her own suit to steal from the man who runs the auction to only give it away for free since art should be seen by everybody and not gatekeep it. She is very split amongst the people, giving to the lower classes, but the high classes hate her guts,

Aughhh she's very emotional, she runs on her heart on her sleeve but she can come off as cocky or sassy in away her old self could never have been, but that means she is stupidly hot headed and snippy. Her theving can be seen as sloppy at best, only wanting to take the big man down.

Greta

So, I'm gonna tell you all about my witch that curses children, Greta. She first showed up in my post The Witch Came Back, in which she had cursed an aroace character to never be seen in a sexual or romantic way.

She's immortal, so she can watch lots of children grow up with the curses she places upon them.

She's not serious, in any sense of the word. She doesn't curse children because of something they've done, she does it to give them an adventure, and her a story to watch unfold.

She doesn't do anything particularly harmful, but to her, curses are just a little game to be played.

Ross (again)

Y'all know he's a funky little parasite, but even tho he prefers humans he can infect basically any animal and imitate what they look like. Problem is, hair/feathers are hard and take extra attention to maintain, because it's all a gooey substance he has to imitate the swaying and such constantly. It gets kinda annoying so he usually sticks to humanoid (which is automatic since it's the form he originally aquired and bonded with). The human he bonded with is dead in a sense, while the human is gone for good, he absorbed the memories and skills. That's how at 3 he can talk good and understand money. But he doesnt really understand he got this dude's preferances. He'll just hate something for no reason like tv or certain jingles. Not sure what would happen but it'd be funny to see him interact with his body's original family.

(probably would get hurt since they'd offer him alcohal and that is the only way to kill him)

gonna ramble rq abt me n my friend's oc's character dynamics bc they occupy much of my thoughts as of late

the first thing, the most important thing about their dynamic, is that they are really, truly, deeply, entirely in love with each other. the second thing is that they are secure in their knowledge of the first thing. the third thing is that they are bad for everyone around them, and also actively make each other worse.

of the two of them, blue tends to derive the most outwardly apparent joy from inflicting himself on other people. he can play at subtle manipulation, if you can call impersonation and blackmail subtle, but he is a very tactile person and prefers to take a much more active role in whatever machinations the two of them have set in motion. by contrast, matt is entirely capable of doing her own dirty work, but also seems to enjoy the challenge that comes with setting up all of the right pieces just-so, and sending blue in to tip them over.

they do love each other. but they are both strange and at least a little cruel, and while it's never directed at each other with the intent to harm, there are occasionally . . . snags, interruptions, that arise as a result of one of them acting against the other's wishes. when blue holds a vampiric underling in the sunlight for a little too long and they crumble to pieces, instead of learning an important lesson. or when matt decides that she really can't be dealing with one of blue's very few friends (because he is a rather offputting character, and so he does not want or need many) and gets rid of them in a very permanent way. these are actions that they undertake on purpose, not with the intention to hurt the other, but simply because without factoring in the desires of their partner, it is what they would have done anyways. and then there is a moment of disappointment, and a swift apology or consolation, and then it doesn't really matter to them anymore. because they are so tangled up in each other that everything else is comparatively meaningless. and so the people around them are the ones who suffer, in these moments.

#moth.txt #oc babble #blue #mattea #what to call this #technically inspired by a specific au but. kinda relevant for all incarnations of the two of them

Random facts about my OC Joseph Hastings <3 just collating the lore

He's such a dad. Such a dad. Even though he's aroace & has no kids (no plan for them, either), he has the vibes of a tired, divorced dad of 3

Absolutely HATES getting recognition for his job because he just hates having to deal with people and the press (once exposed a London Mayoral candidate for... gross things, couldnt deal with the pressure that came after)

The type of person to say 'call me tomorrow' when asked to investigate a murder case just because it's a Monday

Held an Officer rank in the Royal Marines during WW1 and played a part in the landing if Gallipoli in 1915 before being sent to the Western front.

Used to deal with high-stakes cases like blackmail, murders, kidnappings etc. But his notoriety got so overwhelming that he stopped taking those clients and only does missing animal cases (until taod)

Can't drink beer to save his life (5 pints and he's on the floor), but will drain a bottle of hard spirits in less than an hour if you let him & go to 'work' the next day

Loves nature & animals, especially horses. The drafted war horses were his way of coping during the war (he really resents the fact that his job needs him to live in the city because he would THRIVE in rural England)

More (absolutely cannon) content to be added at my whim
