Sorry this took me so long, but summer weather is taking a toll on my energy levels, ugh
Basics
Name: Suna Ilahe Amryn (her surname, Arquelyn, belongs to her adoptive parents, a couple of half-elves named Thalan and Eala. She never uses it in-game, preferring to go by name only. Her first name is the only one she still remembers (but Gort, luckily for her, has good memory 😏).
Aliases: The Dark Urge, Durge, little spark (Gale), dancing flame (Gort), eyes of gold (among Amnians)
Race: tiefling
Background: haunted one
Gender: female
Sexuality: pansexual, demiromantic
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Other
Family: Bhaal (father/creator). Orin the Red, Sarevok Anchev (relatives). She ignores if she ever had a real mother or not, and whether Father simply created her from His blood and gore, or if an unnamed tiefling woman, possessed by Him, was used as a tool to sire her, and later killed.
Her foster parents were a couple of half-elves, Thalan and Eala Arquelyn, whom she slaughtered during her first ever killing spree.
(I’m still busy writing about her life, both before and after game, so no spoilers here, but Gale becomes her family after the game events, at least canonically, while her fic ending is going to be much different). She will never get to meet her (and Gort’s) daughter, Jessamine, because Orin offers her unborn child to Bhaal right before lobotomizing her but, at least in fics, she's going to have a son, Erkan (born far from Baldur’s Gate, somewhere in Amn, near Athkatla or Murann, I've not decided yet).
Birthplace: Baldur’s Gate
Job: assassin/serial killer (her main occupation as a Bhaalspawn), high-primistress of Bhaal, surgeon. Later adventurer, then healer, potion master and alchemist (she will join Amn’s largest alchemists’ guild in Murann).
Phobias/fears: distressing and intrusive thoughts are obviously a common occurrence for someone like her, but she mostly fears losing her grip on reality, and is literally terrified about losing control over both her body and her mind and ending up hurting/killing those she loves the most.
Hobbies: botany, crafting poisons with magic, potions brewing, experimental magic, watercolor painting, and sexy times :3
Morals
Alignment: chaotic evil (before lobotomy). After lobotomy, somewhere between true neutral (always seeking for some kind of balance) and chaotic neutral (she remains mostly an individualist, who holds personal freedom above all else).
Flaws: (before lobotomy) self-centered, manipulating, obsessive and almost paranoid, control-freak, not afraid to use fear/violence to control others, tends to push people away when they get too close, handles criticism poorly and uses the silent treatment as a coping strategy when she feels overwhelmed. Post lobotomy she tends to appear secretive and almost aloof, her intense inner conflicts often lead her to emotional withdrawals, she doesn’t trust her own feelings and prefers to suffer in silence instead of asking for help.
Virtues: smart and resourceful, dedicated, passionate and intense, both before and after lobotomy. But especially after, she becomes far more compassionate and caring, and slowly learns how to trust people again.
