OOC STUFF

ok fellas, here's the situation:

- you've been trapped in the shitty valley of barovia by a megalomaniac vampire who is obsessed with one of his subjects (read more here or honestly just ask me if you want more info)
- the megalomaniac likes to play with his food
- so do the powers that be here
- the gods cannot help you
- your gods can't even contact you
- you're not getting out any time soon (the mists are poisonous and will kill you)
- (maybe) you have a modern character that you now have to establish a full dnd/fantasy au for
- what does your character do in this situation

use this post to give people a jumping off point for that, and also to get to know each other/plot stuff maybe

Julien de Beaumont (BG3 Tav)

[elfenritter]

Julien de Beaumont, high elf eldritch knight, trans/nonbinary/genderfluid, they/them pronouns. 220 years old. Super duper queer, they'll kiss all the genders. More info here.

A haughty noble raised in Baldur's Gate, they dreamed of leaving the city to become an adventurer, but their family didn't support this notion and they were subsequently disowned. They were taken under the wing of a prominent elven patriar, Coran, and given the means necessary to train in swordsmanship and magic. While working under his patronage, they sought to build a reputation for themself as a knight-errant: a champion of the people who would defend the city from corruption.

Julien tends toward making good-aligned, heroic choices in most circumstances, but they're not above using subterfuge to bypass obstacles. They've fashioned themself after the wandering chivalric knights one reads of in faerie tales, which makes them a bit idealistic in their views. As a high elf noble, they can come off a bit haughty and conceited, but they're generally good-natured and open to new experiences. Loyal to a fault, they will stubbornly brute force the third option at every turn, seeking a means of helping their companions, no matter the personal cost. They try to resist the tadpole's allure, but if they can use that power to save those they love, then they'll gladly accept whatever consequences result of their choices.

Basically, they are the sort of glory-seeking adventurer that Barovia loves to chew up and spit out. They're extremely vain, especially concerning their glorious red hair, and this will in no way cause them any kind of trouble, nope. They're going to try to fumble their way through this whole hero business, but without someone more experienced to give them a reality check, they're very likely to end up dead, or worse. They'll probably end up with a stupid schoolkid crush on the likes of Ezmerelda d'Avenir, much to her annoyance.
