About: Vampire, thief, internet's babygirl. Astarion is a man with a ton of trauma on the precipice of an extremely important decision back home that will decide his d&d alignment once and for all. He's abrasive and sarcastic, he's charming and flirty. He lies to get his way but if you get underneath his façade it turns out he's actually just 99 problems in a trench coat and barely holding himself together.
Anyway, being a pirate isn't such a bad distraction.
Abilities: His main skill is being a rogue and using slight of hand, which he doesn't need the tattoo for. But he's really interested in necromancy and he might get his tattoo this month so he can have his one cantrip back and so he can keep trying to read his Definitely Cursed Tome On Necromancy from Xenk's homeland.
PLANS
General: Astarion is just vibing and he's happy to be here for now. He's more of a follower than a leader (because he's an npc party member, you see), so if he's generally willing to go along for shenanigans although depending on what it is he's likely to complain about it. He's got a very solid cr base, but I'm always down to looking for more and I'm also down to have help create a bridge if he knows someone you want your character to know.
Also this month he's getting THREE WHOLE people from home. He might be feeling a little more homesick than usual? No, definitely not. He's fine. MANTA Board:
☆ Claws and companions: Astarion actually eats the rats everyone is presently killing, so he's going to be a little mad about this quest. I mean, he doesn't want to eat rats but there's not a lot of options when you're at sea. Luckily for Astarion he has a couple willing partners so he is adopting a cat and helping her learn the tricks of the trade. ☆ Thinking With Portals: This is a d&d item, so he's going to want to help! Also, you know another great fix for not having to eat rats on a boat? Simply never being on a boat in the first place. Work smarter not harder, y'all. ☆ Gallows Gambit: He's got a +13 to slight of hand and a mountain of trauma around being restrained of course I'm doing this quest. ☆ Hormone-Inducing Pollen Plants: You know why. The 200 dubloons, obviously.
Event:
I don't have as many specific thoughts on the event, but I am going to put up a log with MANTA Board and Event things. For the event: ★ Experiments on the Undead: Astarion isn't going to love that the paladins think that's an acceptable thing to do, so he's going to try and steal the pieces. Of course, he's also going to get aggressive over it so feel free to engage him but watch for his fangs! He bites! ★ Big Game Hunting: If anyone needs someone to help out with the hunting, Astarion can be persuaded to join. He might also drink from a boar or two, it is good for him.
CR Dreams: I'm just here to keep having fun, so anywhere people who like Astarion I'll likely be down (with the caveat that he might not be). I like to facilitate things however I can and I'm always down to bounce ideas! I've been a little slower the last couple weeks because of work (it comes in waves) but know that the spirit is willing even if the mind and body are not always.
