#sister. brother. daughter. son. annoying little whelp.

i'm considering a future baldur's gate mc

not super relevant bc the next run will. probably be. amity. again. with wyll. maybe not but it's likely.

anyway eventually i might do a dark urge mc, and i'm thinking about incorporating my bhaalspawn into their backstory

bhaalspawn #1, taev, is following up on a lead about another splinter of bhaal cultists and comes across itsy bitsy mc. decides that it's time to follow in gorion's footsteps and Raise The Murderbaby. ...but taev is human, and also bound to their paladin oath, which keeps them pretty mobile. and imoen, frankly.... doesn't want to. a mother? her?? no thank you. she's meant to be the fun aunt, and nothing more hands on than that.

bhaalspawn #2, kher, settles down a few years after the events of bg2, after she is finally convinced that her sisters are healed + powerful enough to rip apart anyone who might want to harm them. she's always ready to intervene, and will do so with unholy, murderous fury at a moment's notice, but. after a decade she can chill a bit. a Bit. and she's an elf. she'll live for-fucking-ever. plus, she got most of the murder rage when they got their souls ripped out, so she's the best candidate for teaching the murder baby how to contain the murder rage as they grow older. the only complicating factor is the company she keeps -- kher definitely, definitely resurrected xzar after bg2 and now they're, like, weird necromancy experiment partners.

kher is not. necessarily. great at raising babies. but she did alright as an influence on taev and imoen. so it'll be fine... right?

thus begins fitz, doomed from the start -- long before the urges got more prominent and their memories were eaten up

#this is also like #going w/ the whispers I've heard abt the origin #which could be way off #anyway #the name comes bc. well. fitz is tradidional for bastards. however #'we CANnot name it fitzbhaal. that is untenable. no. just fitz will do.' #also #kher @ xzar 'hey. quit your job with the xhents and be my live-in necromancer. i'll pay better and provide more body parts than them.' #why? she just thinks he's Neat. #taev and imoen always wished kher would chill out and focus on Anything other than her dogged protection of them. #then she DOES branch out in her interests and they hate it JUST because now her interests include the weirdest wizard they've ever met #absolutely hypocrites smh #having bhaal blood also makes fitz more of a sibling to the girls technically #sister. brother. daughter. son. annoying little whelp. #fitz is all of these things and more #but not much more. they would like to be boring please. #please. they're begging you. stop sending them interesting murderous urges. they want to be bland. #bg3 blogging
