#bg3!au

[pumaskulls]

Updated Ren's reference AND finished designing his BG3!AU as well!

Renée favors being straightforward and to-the-point no matter the universe, so I imagine the second his companions start bickering and being sassy at each other, Renée starts to debate the merits of walking into the sea never to be seen again. He's so fucking done with everyone all the time

Some BG3!Kama/Kamari related notes

Here are some notes I've scribbled down already for the Baldur's Gate AU version of Kama/Kamari (the name of my Tav/DUrge). I've also included related notes for this AU's version of my Aphros!Vyn/Enderal headcanons, particularly for Maera, Jespar and Tharaêl. Please note that while there is primarily backstory stuff, there will be some DUrge specific spoilers. Enjoy

Headcanons

While the family tree for BG!Kamari (an AU version of Aphros!Kamari) is more or less the same, all the characters are entirely separate from their contemporary Vyn/Aphros counterparts. 

The only thing carried over from Aphros is that BG!Kamari is still a shard of a sundered Eos!Azem (of FF14 origins), and thus possesses some power from that ancient and primordial soul (both the good and bad).

For example, Kamari’s body possesses traces of Radiant energy. If she chooses to harness it to augment herself in the field, it would be at the cost of her physical and mental endurance (which can still be trained though nonetheless much more stressful for her). 

In timelines where Eos’ powers become more active, there are a number of additional side effects on Kamari’s mortal form. 

Most visibly, Kamari’s eyes turn permanently from her birth green/blue to the yellow/purple of Eos. This shift at a young age was her parents’ first clue that something was unusual (and likely involved Bhaal)

More unfamiliar voices and figures in her head/dreams/nightmares (various parties vie for control; Eos, Bhaal, to name a couple…), though through her family she is able to cope growing up.

The ability to call out to companions and loved ones in her time of need (though not the ability to summon them to her, like that of Azem or her Warrior of Light incarnation).

Family

Maera, Kamari’s mother and a Druid of the Land, is the Bhaalspawn in the family, having inherited it from her parents (though which parent is unclear, as there was infidelity and her parentage is unclear). 

This means Kamari, her brother and half-siblings all have traces of Bhaal’s power within them. However, Kamari, being the firstborn, has the lion’s share.

Maera has managed to grow up and live her life without giving into her dark nature, largely thanks to serving both Silvanus and Selûne as a druid. Her services as a traveling healer has granted her blessings from both gods, protecting her from Bhaal’s influence.

Jespar is Kamari’s loving father, a former rogue who also moonlit as a tavern bard. He met Maera after getting caught up in a brawl between her, Tharaêl, and some Harpers seeking Maera due to her rumored origins.

Tharaêl is a werewolf, former arena fighter and assassin turned mercenary. He met Maera after becoming severely injured from a job, and she saved his life, after which he remained at her side. He is both Kamari’s godfather and father of her half-siblings (in the timelines where they are born)

The Three Different Origins/Timelines for Kamari:

Tav!Kamari (Druid)

Kamari’s Bhaalspawn nature never awakens, and Eos’ powers never activate. Her eyes remain green and blue from her mother and father respectively, and upon reaching adulthood decides to take up adventuring, eventually finding herself at Baldur’s Gate. While still very much like her father, she preferred the druidic arts like her mother, but as a Druid of the Moon.

DarkUrge!Kamari (Rogue, Bard)

Kamari’s Bhaalspawn nature awakens, and Eos’ power activates to help her maintain control against as much of her urge as possible, though can fail through periods of immense stress, despair, or anger. Any lethal outbursts are mitigated by her family, siblings included.

Maera is never discovered and thus hunted for being a Bhaalspawn, the family survives and flourishes during Kamari’s childhood and youth. Though Kamari eventually goes through a rebellious stage in her teenage years, frustrated at her parents’ constant need to coddle and shelter her and her siblings. She runs away to Baldur’s Gate to get away from them, working for the Guild before falling into the Cult of Bhaal.

Slayer!Kamari (Rogue, Fighter)

Kamari’s Bhaalspawn nature awakens, and Eos’ power activates to help her maintain control against as much of her urge as possible, though can fail through periods of immense stress, despair, or anger.  Any lethal outbursts are mitigated by her parents and godfather.

Maera is discovered to be a Bhaalspawn and becomes hunted, and none of Kamari’s siblings have the chance to be born. Both Maera and Jespar are killed trying to protect Kamari as a young girl, who is then taken into Tharaêl’s protection. Years later when she is a teen, he is also killed protecting Kamari when bounty hunters catch up to them. She flees to Baldur’s Gate to hide, and is recruited into the Cult of Bhaal after she successfully manages to slaughter her pursuers.

Dark Urge Kama/Kamari musings

I really want to make DUrge!Kama/Kamari ...

(Warning: Some BG3 DUrge spoilers ahead along with some Vyn/Aphros pullovers)

... the granddaughter or a great-granddaughter of Bhaal, rather than just his daughter/Bhaalspawn. The reason being I want to make a BG3!AU for my Vyn/Aphros OT3 (Jespar, Maera, Tharael) and the whole family (Kama/Kamari's siblings), or whole cast even with Calia and other OCs. But I'm not all that familiar with D&D lore or the timing between the various BG games since I never played the others so I have no idea if I'm allowed since I dunno if the timings would be right.

At the moment, I'm thinking Jespar and Maera, Kama's parents, would each be half-elves (High Elf and Wood Elf respectively), with the Bhaalspawn bloodline coming from Maera's side since her Vyn!verse equivalent has some darker family histories. But this also means all her siblings are descendants of Bhaal as well. I'm hoping it can work where the bloodlust and whatnot would either be all weakened or muted within them, whereas for Kama it's quite prominent? Perhaps strongest due to her being born first? It is also what has her eyes develop into Azem!Eos' yellow and purple (while originally green and blue), like something unexpected has developed. Hmm...
