PLAYER: Spider PREFERRED CONTACT: CellarSpider#9984 CHARACTER & CANON: Astarion | Baldur's Gate III
THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: It's unclear who here makes worse decisions: the foppish vampire spawn, or the baby mindflayer in his skull.
THE SAME PITCH, BUT IT'S AN ENTHUSIASTIC FRIEND HOOKING THEM WITH A JOB/BLIND DATE: A devastatingly beautiful vampire elf who knows how to have fun, and has a ~secret tragic backstory~
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER RUIN FAMILY DINNER? Seduces family, has dinner.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER BRING TO THE TABLE? He's a charmer and a rogue--in D&D terms, no less!
He's got some magic--sneaky telekinesis, illusions, charming people, putting them to sleep, lighting them up for targeting purposes, and just plain blasting them off their feet!
While he's a vampire spawn, the baby mindflayer in his skull gives him immunity to sunlight, and he can enter homes without invitation! Just don't ask him to go wading through a stream, or he'll get a terrible case of hotfoot. It also makes him resistant to psychic intrusion--poke around in his head, and he might poke back.
He's really pretty, too. Just, y'know. Thought I'd mention that.
He also has a Spooky Necromantic Tome with him--it's guarded by angry spirits that start whispering into the brain of anybody who opens it!
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? He is so thoroughly Done with nautical affairs. When not dodging giant tentacles--again!!--he's trying to covertly figure out if anybody in this mess can help him learn how to control the parasite in his head. It's been uncommonly quiet, but if it matures, then he's in big trouble..
CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: Personal plot-wise, anybody with psychic/mind powers would be interesting for Astarion to interact with. As said above, he's got two minds in his skull, one of which is very alien. Anybody who's sensitive to spirits and ghosts might also pick up on the necromantic tome in his possession, which he's had a difficult time reading.
Also, only two people know he's a vampire so far, despite his terrible job hiding it. This is hilarious, and I'd be totally down for any shenanigans around vampirism.
On a more general note: Do you want someone to egg on your character's bad decisions? Astarion can do that!

Also thanks to the results of the last plot, he's got a lucky white raven and a shitton of jewelry. As is only right.
