AZARIAH. The Dark Urge, bg3. Written by Elena, 30.
As far as rules and whatnot go, I'm pretty easy. Basic rp etiquette apply. Mutuals only, slow due to work and other such things. Probably going to be mostly iconless, though I'll likely have a few icons made for when I do feel like using them. Shipping is fine, if we're both feeling it.
Because of the nature of the character, dark themes will be present in writing for sure, and maybe in visuals from time to time. I'll always do my best to tag things appropriately, but feel free to approach me if I've forgotten or tagged something wrong.
Due to how customizable most things are in bg3, I wouldn't really consider other Dark Urge characters 'duplicates,' particularly since mine is somewhat canon-divergent, so other Dark Urges are most welcome.

Name. Azariah. Age. Somewhere in his late 40s to early 50s, appears to be in his late 20s. Race. Asmodeus tiefling of mixed race. Gender. Cis male. He/they. Orientation. Homosexual. Class. Warlock. Archfey patron. Previously circle of spores druid; retains some druidic attributes. Background. Haunted One. Personality. Comes off as quite optimistic, relatively kind, sometimes playful and sweet; some (though not all) of this is a front to mask what is inside. An urge to kill, feelings of guilt and shame and fear. Look hard and long enough, and it can be seen, behind the front. Height. 5'8. Build. Slender, fit. Skin. Dark. 'Fey' tone, giving him a subtle fuchsia undertone which is most apparent in his lips. Has a scattering of faint freckles across his nose, cheeks, and shoulders, which resemble azalea spots under close inspection. Eyes. Large, expressive. His natural left eye is a spring green with a radiant yellow halo around the pupil. Artificial right eye is medium blue with hazel streaks. Hair. Black. Straight, grown to his lower back. Usually kept in a single, long, braid. Horns. Relatively short. Black, inlaid with gold. Curve towards the back of his head.
Father. Bhaal. Mother. Name pending. Approx. three quarters tiefling, and a quarter mixed wood elf and fey eldarin. Deceased. Siblings. A number of half-siblings, sired by Bhaal. Mostly deceased.
A background. A detailed history is incoming, but the (really) short of it is:
Azariah was fathered by Bhaal. Not in the canon sense, as I went in to the Dark Urge play through completely ignorant of the Durge's story, and came up with a story, including early life, for my lil Durge guy in my head as I was playing, before learning any canon background and I was too attached by that point to change it.
(I am undecided otherwise on the exact nature of Bhaal's role in creating Azariah. Looking at various mythologies, I'd say gods have a number of interesting was in which they create their progeny, alongside the uh... traditional way, after all.)
His mother, the person he thought was his father, and much of the community around him were druids. Azariah was one too, up until after losing his memories.
While he had a relatively normal and happy childhood, some time in his mid to late teens, Azariah killed his family. This is, not coincidentally, around the same time Sceleritas Fel had begun appearing in his life, in secret.
From there, much of the major Durge story beats apply. If I think of any other major divergences, they will be noted.
List of canon decisions and preferences for game events to come soon.
