CR WORKSHIP: NOVEMBER 2023

Our CR Meme CR Workship is where players can drop all the cool info for their characters and try to plot with others to continue existing or create new CR. Be sure to look over the MANTA Board as well as current events if you'd like to include them in your post.

We also include a designated toplevel for Crew Recruitment where players can make OOC ad posts for others to either join or request to join or make a crew. This is all for OOC coordination, so you'll have to figure out how it works ICly.

If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

PLAYER INFO

Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Character

Etc.: Anything else or, you know, the usual memes. NOTE: we have an image code for players to use as it will fix the width of the image to 400px. This is so large images don't take up entire pages. If your image is smaller than that you can remove the code, otherwise please use the code.

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, create your own toplevel and comment with each character separately to it. Include your name in the subject line. Although not specifically included, you are more than welcome to write up a greeting message along with the form!

Re: KARLACH | BG3 | CORSAIR

[yuezun]

Quick question: I'm not canon familiar, but I did a read through of your app and her wiki entry, but does Karlach need to recharge/regulate her heart in that specific Archdevil's domain? Or would anyone with control over Hellfire be able to potentially help?

[headhunt]

Don't worry, I love questions. And talking!

Karlach needs a mechanic. The problem with her heart is that the infernal machinery isn't. . . efficient. Neither was it meant to be. Who cares if she dies, right? It's a personal plot point in the game (should your PC choose to pursue it) that she gets it upgraded by a mechanic who actually has some know-how of infernal machinery. They basically do some patch-work with infernal iron they were able to get their hands on.

The upgrade is only enough to let her touch people, but not keep it from combusting.

The end result of this is: ↓↓ [SPOILERS, highlight text] ↓↓

Your endgame options are to let it burn her up and kill her or permanently banish her back to the Hells where it won't overheat or become a mindflayer. All 3 pretty are unfortunate ends. Even though we were introduced to the idea of getting it fixed with a mechanic and even pick up new, stronger infernal irons, the plot (insofar) is like haha! Oh well! Nothing can be done!

Good thing this is RP. Oof.

OK, so that's as far as canon goes. We don't get a chance to explore it beyond those avenues because of other, more pressing plot concerns.

I think a very good case could be made for someone with a strong enough ability to control hellfire to be able to help her. It wouldn't solve the machinery issue, but could very well assist with some temperature regulation.

[yuezun]

Dongfang could be considered the equivalent of an Archdevil for position and power within his canon - he's also the only one who can control Hellfire in his canon and it's what powers most of his qi abilities. If you'd like to explore the possibility of him helping with that until she can find a mechanic in game, I'm up for it.

[headhunt]

I would LOVE that. That could be so fun and a great reason for them to perhaps eventually bond.

One of the things I am most excited to play with is her heart and heating issues so I'm ALL FOR IT.

Would he be able to benefit from helping her out since some of his abilities are powered by hellfire?

[yuezun]

If he's pulling the Hellfire out of her, then it could act as an energy transfer and give him a short term boost. But if it's more of a 'keep the fires low' thing, then he doesn't get anything out of it beyond having a means of attempting to hold it over her head as a perpetual favor owed/threat to use against her if he gets pissed off.

At least at the start. He does a lot of posturing and threatening that he pretty much never has reason to make good on - his dragon lieutenant he regularly threatens with skinning or ripping out his 'dragon bones' but it's all bark and no bite because Shangque is more valuable to him alive and whole and he recognizes that.

Considering her position in canon, she's probably the only one who could immediately peg him as a Lord of Hell (if a different universe's) and the tyrant nature that comes with being that after he gets his power back because he just feels Hell-aligned and suffused with Hellfire to those who might be sensitive to it.
