Monster Truckers Application
Player: Karma/oceantoast (handle vampiretwink for the rp account)
Contact: .oceantoast on discord
Age: 21+
Other Characters: N/A
Name: Astarion
Canon: Baldur's Gate 3
Canon Point: Mid act 1, so very early game before he undergoes character development
Age: 200ish (the specifics are never confirmed but he says 200 a lot)
Backstory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astarion#Baldur's_Gate_3 (The wiki is very light on it but cw for mentions of physical abuse and implied sexual abuse/coercsion)
Personality: Please keep this to 1,000 words or less. We’re looking for a good understanding of how your character acts by default, as well as in different situations. If you need a template, feel free to make use of this one:
+Default emotional state and temperament: His internal default temprament is very impatient and distrusting. As the spawn of a vampire with little will of his own he feels that the world is split into those with power and those without. However, fitting into a sort of femme fatale archetype, he will often put on a very charismatic and sometimes seductive personality depending on the person.
+Motivations and goals: He's not always a details person in the short term, but survival at all costs and freedom in the short term as well as the long term, he also desires revenge and power at all costs
+Regrets and fears: He certainly regrets being turned into a vampire spawn, and fears losing the already little control he has over his own body. He fears most being manipulated and used by other people
+Breaking points: Disrespecting his agency, he doesn't really like those who are genuinely sweet to him, pushing him to do the right thing if he thinks he'll have to sacrifice his own wellbeing
+Values: Power and freedom are the big two. If you are willing to do what it takes to sieze power and respect his agency he'll take a liking to you. On a smaller and more interpersonal scale he also likes people who are willing to entertain his flair for the dramatic and penchant for chaos when the mood takes him.
+How do they handle change and trauma? Specifically the changes and trauma of turning into a monster? He will act like he's handling it to most, but having already been turned into a monster, losing a part of control over his body, and with a Mind Flayer tadpole recently acquired he'll be losing his mind. It's fine if he doesnt think about it :-)
+Closing statements: Hes so offputting and annoying and dramatic and it makes him very fun to write :-)
Powers/Abilities: I would like to keep his sleight of hand/lockpicking abilites, perhaps a cantrip of fire bolt or mage hand, and if possible his vampire fangs
Inventory: His trusty dagger, his fancy embroidered leather armor and probably his ruffled shirt
Game Plans: I really would like to see Astarion just turn into a different type of monster because I think he'll lose his absolute mind about it
Monster Choice: Demons from the infernal type, with the infernal runes scarred on him and the fact its the most devilish I think it'd give him very fun and dramatic changes he'd be very normal about :-), Vampire since he canonically is one, finally Fairy from Fae is a good balance of new monstrous traits and keeps in line with him being a high elf
Vehicle Choice: I know he canonically cant drive but a sports car with the fast quality would be fun for him I think
Sample: https://memestertrucks.dreamwidth.org/3550.html?thread=1453790#cmt1453790 (sorry if this doesnt count as a single thread but there are at least 5 comments, I have also been dealing with job interviews and moving planning interfering with this. If that means I have to wait till the next application cycle I understand)
