Hey, Fey here, after Erich I bring in Astarion who couldn't be more different. He's a character from the critically acclaimed game Baldur's Gate 3 and he's the local vampire you can have in your group. You heard it right. Vampire. Undead. He has zero blood circulation and zero ability to produce heat, he's going to have so much fun trying not to turn into a very undead elvish statue. He has also been stripped of all the nice 'perks' he had and only left with sunlight sensitivity, the inability to cross a river because water will hurt like acid and a nice fancy thirst. I won't t too much into details becaue he's a walking red flag, permissions will be here and 'canon info' about his story here. He also comes with the Best Boy at his side.

He's going to be very loud, probably keep up his act of just being a judge like he once used to be and study people in the city to see if he can take advantage of anything. He'll also probably think of nice sweet necks but unless you ask I'm not going to have him attempt anything weird. He'll keep running the nobleman-judge stuff as long as he can but know that despite his theatrical nature he's a man with plenty of trauma that comes from 200 years of slavery as a vampire spawn. Make sure you hit that Permission Post to inform me about any topic that may bother you too much. I am probably not going to go into details unless it's someone I discussed things with or who is canon familiar, but at the same case I'd rather not even graze potentially upsetting topics for people.

He also looks super friendly but trust literally so... while I'm open to any CR, the gods know he could use some friends, I'm also welcoming with open arms any negative CR that may make him feel threatened. Huh, what else? You can find me on discord over at _erichthonios_

*will smith pose* thats my problematic vamp friend

[pale_elf]

NOT your friend, Renny. NOT your friend. But we'll work on that. Thank you scratch.

Hello, fellow vampire-in-hiding! I'd love to have these two meet - I'm very canon familiar with BG3 and on board for all the complications attendant with Astarion.

[pale_elf]

Ah, a fellow man with extremely fine tastes when it comes to food! I'd be delighted to meet another classy and elegant gentleman like Lestat. What could ever go wrong?

We just have to figure out how. Any suggestion? Otherwise I can brainstorm things If you can tell me what Lestat is up to.

[flanerie]

Currently Lestat is playing the part of benevolent, slightly frivolous hunter contributing to the community via extremely well-drained meat. He's also in the middle of an extremely messy and awful situationship with the other vampire in town, Louis de Pointe du Lac, which people are unfortunately being subjected to in a slow motion disaster.

It'd be pretty easy for me to just have Lestat approach Astarion on the next event/open post - they're both extremely good looking, they're both gentlemen of class, they're both missing the urbane culture of any place with a population over a hundred. Save him from talking to teenagers and bumpkins, Astarion.

[pale_elf]

Oh my gosh- I didn't know and I also wrote that Astarion will try to do the same. Try to buy people's good will by bringing in dead animals. My apologies if this fellow vampire will step on his turf in that sense. As for the relationship? I can see only Astarion watching the chaos unfold while sitting in a corner and sipping on a cup of, ah, fine red.

Astarion is going for the 'pompous nobleman who doesn't know too well what he's doing' act, but yes, he would love to talk with a fellow gentleman. Life is so difficult in a small isolated community where they all know each other and anyone would notice a series of bloodless murders with ease.

[flanerie]

Not turf stepping at all! I actually think it's a) very funny b) good potential CR material that they'd both wind up picking the same general strategy for integrating into a community, since it really just makes logical sense for vampires. There's plenty of game to hunt, too, so perhaps an opportunity to work together at least once or twice?
