Long time since I posted but have a million explanations that I'm not gonna make sense
My bg3 teifling is named grief, his virtue name is that because he's moarning his past life he never knew but also moarning those he is destined to kill, but he was actually named Regal before because his goals were pure nobility and also I align my bg3 characters with the main villains and his is the god of tyranny and his chosen Gortash teehee
Also a bit of more of a deep dive, despite his god being Baal, I associate him more with bane, god of tyranny, cuz I want my tav, resist Durge, and murder Durge to be like the dead three with tav being merkal, god of death (because he brought down a plague with his wild magic and made a deal with an old god to fix it), resist Durge (him!) to be with bane (again tyranny) because he wanted power and status to bring about more death, and my murder Durge to be Baal, lord of murder
Tav is the ecplise, the between of the two durges (Alexander btw)
Grief/regal is the moon because he's a lone wolf 🐺 but fr because the night brings comfort and danger
And murder Durge (on my second one run) to be the sun because they are desturve!!
Also inspired by the ballad of Jane doe
The middle section with all the colors is the moon, which represents regal (pre memory wipe grief)
The skeleton is Baal, lord of murder, and the thing that grief tries to avoid
The sun is the urge brought by Baal, purse destruction, the world will be wiped!!! Rahhh!!!!
The stars are both the blood of the innocents and the light guiding grief to confront his past as regal
The outside just looked cool as a border idk
Came back to ramble on my guys
I want to associate types of dance with them so
My tav, Alexander evangale, would be contemporary dance
Bit of backstory he's a wild magic sorcerer (he was born with magic from fey lineage that sometimes goes wild and does unpredictable things) and he wanted to be a wizard as he thought he was one but one day because he saw her sister getting beat up his magic exploded and caused a plague in which he made a deal with an old god to get rid off
So, as the speed rhythm and direction would be random, it represents his wild magic but the more precise legwork represents the order that his god brings, and the importance of fall and recovery and improvisation represents him as a character
My durge, Grief/regal, would be ballet
His story is actually a bit of a spoiler so also it's dark urge so tw violence
||As a Baal spawn there's one thing that regal wants. Blood. It's the Lord of murder after all. After meeting gortash however he decided on a virtue name, regal, as he could use gortash, shape him, climb up into power and use war to bring more people to his father's domain. So he did. He became Gortash's personal assassin, and blah blah blah he loses his memories and gets the tadpole and he becomes repulsed by his dark urges, naming himself grief for the life he doesn't remember and the people he will kill||
So ballet. To represent his past life, it's regal (heh) it can powerful, violent,it's a status symbol (cough cough not historically but in its current cultural context). To represent his current life it can be soft, romantic, it's the art of the common people (there's the historical part)
Uhhh grossly oversimplified background ballet used to be considered for poor people (grief), being a ballerina was not romanticized and now it's seen as a status symbol and an aesthetic to strive for (regal)
Grief is literally poor but more important he's common. He's not a ||leader for Baal||, he's just a teifling
Regal is powerful. Literally and metaphorically. He strives for the aesthetic of power when in reality he's literally a horrible person!!!! But fr he strives for the unantiable
Anyways all this for a 4 song playlist and to say that this is the reason why he's in a ballet pose
