private and highly selective raphael of baldur's gate 3 penned by silver (26) he/him || non-rp blogs do not interact || 18+ & mutual only

follows back from @creatureshrieks (horror multimuse) . also found at @twiningfates (various media multimuse) .

carrd. | prompts.

mains ;

affiliates ;

Rules;

18+ ONLY. Due to being 21+ and the nature of my blog I will only be roleplaying with those over the age of 18. Muses can be underage, mun can not. I will not write certain content with underage muses. Don't be weird.

MUTUALS ONLY.

DNI if you are homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc. Do not follow if you write pedophilia, SA, or incest. I do not follow genderbends (trans=/=genderbend). I do not roleplay with the following fandoms: Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel and related works, Voltron, Attack on Titan, Homestuck, Steve Universe, Lore Olympus, Killing Stalking, Harry Potter & related works.

I am perfectly fine with crossovers/AUs.

SHIPPING. Due to Raphael's nature, romantic feelings will most likely be 'one-sided' on your muse's part. He is selfish, manipulative, egotistical, and cruel. While he does have emotions due to his nature as a cambion and it may be possible to strike his interest, please do not assume it will happen. I am perfectly fine with one-sided love interests. As a warning, any romance with Raphael will not be without risk of toxicity. He is still a devil.

MUN =/= MUSE. Raphael tortures children and takes pride and joy in making everyone's life hell. That does not mean I agree with his views.

Mains/Exclusives. I do practice mains/affiliates/exclusives, though becoming an exclusive is far rarer. I will only become exclusive if I can only see myself interacting with your version of character which will require extensive plotting and for us to be very familiar with each other OOC.

NSFW. I will write NSFW content including sex and scenes of torture. However, in order to write sexual threads, I require at least one-two threads with you and/or speaking with you OOC at minumum. I will never jump right into sexual situations without speaking to you first.

Unless stated otherwise, all graphics and headcanons on this blog are made my me.

[adevilyouknow]

I got another friend into BG3... I will make them love Raphael. A promise.

" I am always pleased to see a new client... "

" Of which you are not. If you have come to deal, I expect something of true value... and something for collateral. "

He couldn't even collect a usable soul out of the damnable thing. Octopi truly were the worst clients.

@eyehunger PLAYING A WIZARD WITH 1 LONG DISTANCE SPELL BY THE WAY???

[adevilyouknow]

look at this loser ( @eyehunger ) with 11 natural health. started at 8, by the way.

[adevilyouknow]

In case anyone is curious to my Tavs and what have you... and because I'd simply like to show them off.

Claurrhac - He/Him. Black Dragonborn Paladin of Devotion. Soldier background. Veyr kind, very sweet, and will absolutely die for you. Like kids, animals, and grilled meats. Basically lawful good. Refuses to engage with the Tadpole in anyway, including mental domination. Romancing Shadowheart on his file (except in the multiplayer version of him because Shadowheart missed 20 attacks in a row and I put her in time-out so I guess I'm going with Gale LOL).

Elovar - He/Him (transgender). High Half-Elf Bard/Rogue multiclass. Entertainer background, though I debated on Urchin since in his lore he was left with his human father who is poor. Resorted to theft to survive, until he learned how to play an instrument. Used his instrument and magical skills as a means to distract while he stole from the gathered crowd. Chaotic neutral. May or may not use tadpole depending on if it suits him. Not currently romancing anyone.

Uriran - He/Him (transgender). Wood Elf Circle of Moon Druid. Outlander background. Grew up very deep in the wilds with his Druidic circle, spent most of his time in Wildshape. He struggles with conversing with people and prefers the companionship of animals. True neutral. Does not use tadpole powers. My first Tav, my baby boy. Romancing Halsin (as you can see).

Senrin - He/They/She (questioning). Lolth-Sworn Drow Necromancer Wizard. Sage background. Left the Underdark due to some... ideas regarding their own self. Crisis of faith they willfully ignore and pretend as if everything is fine. A bitch for fun and pleasure and profit. Currently traveling around with a Cleric of Lathander on the multiplayer save for fun. Willingly using Tadpole powers like they're going out of style. Likes power, money, and making other people do the dirty work. Neutral evil. Romancing Astarion but who knows where that will go. Sometimes likes to run around as a Tiefling (via disguise self) in lore to bother their Cleric because their Cleric is a tiefling and he gets unsettled.

Virris - He/Him. Half High-Elf Sorcerer (Gold Draconic Heritage). Noble background. Not a bad person, but you get the idea he's still snobby and pretentious. Very much enjoys their 'natural' magic powers and not needing to study for decades or trade their soul or what not for it. Does drag for fun. Neutral good. Will not use tadpole powers. New file so he isn't really with anyone as of yet.

Indrin - He/Him. Half-Drow Warlock (Great Old One). Urchin background. Orphaned at a young age, made some shady deals with shady outer gods for survival. Gave up his right eye to his patron as one of their pact deals. May dabble in some Tadpole powers if they benefit him and his patron doesn't loose its mind. Not romancing anyone.

Eva - She/Her. Technically she's a BG3 version of an NPC from a totally different campaign, but... A 'wizard' since that's the closest thing that fits her. 'Tiefling', though she only looks like one in appearance.

I also have a Githyanki monk and a human fighter, but I haven't developed them too much as of yet.

Do you fuck with my Tavs.

[adevilyouknow]

Though I don't roleplay Haarlep and wouldn't push this on any one that does, I do like to mess around with the headcanon that 'Haarlep' isn't their actual name. Harleep is an anagram of Raphael, so I like to say that when Haarlep came into his service, he renamed them that as a sort of further show of 'possessing' them.

[adevilyouknow]

When will they release photomode so I can take better images of my Tavs to show them off.

[adevilyouknow]

I suppose I should say this now - But in terms to characters associated with the House of Hope (Hope, Korrilla, Haarlep, etc), Raphael views them more akin to hired help or property unless or until proper connections/development has been established. I will not assume nor 'jump' into specific dynamics and for all intents and purposes with muses not affiliated with the House of Hope and for such threads, this is how Raphael will act if these characters are brought up. He has no genuine attachment to anyone and the main reason he'd be pissed off if you killed any of them is due to, well. You took something of his. You broke his toy. He's mad about that.

I just personally do not see Raphael having genuine attachments or care to those within the House of Hope as it stands, though this is perfectly capable of change should that occur.

[adevilyouknow]

He's adorable when he's mad with the way he scrunches up his nose. Find the difference between these four images. You can't.

"That never ever ends well..." The murmur wilts on her tongue, and she feels anxiety coil in her belly. She fidgets, like a nervous little raccoon—admittedly, a bit too traumatized from witnessing shady deals for the better part of a decade. Some of which she might have... involuntarily helped to facilitate.

"I mean—when you're down in the dumpster, you always think... 'Oh wow... change. Yeah, I could use some of that! That'd make me feel better!'... but you can be wrong." Her voice thins and lowers as she concludes that rather grim thought, pale eyes shifting to the ground in a jittery, involuntary nervous habit as she reminisces about things she'd rather forget. "... Turns out, sometimes change just means you'll be a very, very sad door for the next few decades... or someone's gonna eat your baby."

His question seems to give her pause, a necessary one; lest her mind spiral into that particularly unhappy pit of memories. "... Me? Oh... wow, I... I'm not so sure," she admits, holding the words on her tongue briefly to contemplate, pulling at the frayed edges of her memory for information. "I don't think anyone's ever asked me that before... I'm usually just—you know—the mirror." But now that someone has, she can't help but think... "It's been a long time since I've seen my own reflection..." The words float on her tongue as a drifting, but weighted thought. "I wonder if I'd recognize it if I saw it..." The whiteness of her eyes flickers to its peripherals, wondering and wondering—then, like a lightbulb goes off, she remembers she was supposed to be answering something.

"Mmm... Someone surprisingly brave for their size?" It's only part jest. The flicker of a smile curls behind her bony knuckle. "Um... Very, very large, haunted eyes?" So she's been told. Unblinking eyes. Phantasmagoric. "I don't know... I don't think they're so bad... I see so many things through them... you know?" Her voice wavers, gauzy soft. "Maybe that's why they're so large... to see things."

The world is painful, misguided, when viewed from her. The eye, quite a feature. Windows to the soul, were they not? To gaze deeply into another was to allow one to see all vulnerability, to glean the truth. The eye allows one to see, to observe. To consume the world in finite, little pieces. Seeing is believing, no? What a useful fallacy. How often does a black form in the night portray itself as a monster? How often does a smile disguise intent? A flick of the wrist, with snap of the fingers could he cause lights to dance in her vision, could he hide rotted feasts as succulent meals. Could a devil look like a man. The eyes, precious as they may be, are far too often the easiest sense to deceive.

He tuts, as a father might when disapproving of a child. Tongue against teeth, a slow shake of his head.

" Is that all you truly see, my dear? Your physical attributes? " The mirror was metaphorical in his question, more then it already was, " Is that what and who you really are? " If those eyes of hers were plucked from their skull, would that change who she was? If her hair was cut, her skin marred, would she cease to be? He leans closer towards her and, perhaps, should she look close enough into his eyes she may see something reflected back. One need not only gaze at themselves in mirrors. " What hides behind those eyes of yours? I want you to tell me something more than what is skin deep. "

Even her comment of bravery was locked to her stature. Come now, you can do it.

[adevilyouknow]

My favorite thing is luring more people into BG3 with Raphael. Yes, you want to see him. Yes, you want to meet him. Yes, take his deal. It's good for your health.

I think you should give Raphael the Crown of Karsus. As a treat.

Twice the charm, twice the cunning. ;) ♥

" Like looking in a mirror. A very flattering mirror. "

Eyes drift slowly across his mirrored form, as if he could perceive any subtle imperfections or complete parallels. He was always a vain devil, he could not deny he liked what he saw - it was him, after all, and he was quite the gorgeous specimen. However, he already had another doppelganger in his clutches. One forced into a younger form, perhaps, but one identical to him all the same.

Three tends to be quite the crowd.

[adevilyouknow]

Just so we're clear, you don't need to follow my @creatureshrieks blog to follow this one. This one is just a sideblog, so I need to follow from my main. If you see I'm not following you back, that is why. I hadn't planned on this blog getting a lot of traffic, which is why I made it a sideblog, but should that change I will make it standalone.

Until then, if you have no interest in interacting with my muses on my main blog, you do not have to follow it. I won't be upset or anything like that.

[adevilyouknow]

I'd like to imagine Raphael is powerful enough to be a Warlock's patron, considering Mizora is and she's a cambion. I imagine given his heritage being directly related to Mephistopheles, he is certainly a powerful fiend. So, in other news, come sign a Warlock pact with him. It'll be totally fine.
