IN-BRIEF
- Amnesiac Bardic Dark Urge
- Tiefling ( visual mods used, lore reason - the Dark Urge is a bhaalspawn crafted from Bhaal's flesh, so aasimar mod used to give my tiefling variant more godspawn style changes like with Aylin but for an evil god. feel free to notice or dismiss his differences. )
- Open to any canonpoints
- Resists/Resisted Urges
- Open to different Urge endings impotent urge ending or redeemed ending
- Prefer not to play full Dark Urge but happy to play in-between
- Open to all - other tavs, all canonmates, cross-canon, assumed cr, etc.
- Open to all for shipping
- GMT timezone

PHYSICAL CONTACT: Allowed, but depending on the contact he may become awkward or attempt to stab. His mind's not all there right now.
FLIRTING: He'll flirt first, anyway, so go for it. He is a bard after all
KISSING: Go for it. He'll return the energy, but if it's more than sexual he might get flustered and confused.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE LIMITS: He's got violent urges, so this is never off the table. Don't mind injuring or potentially killing him as well. Just ooc plot with me if you want to go further than injuring (ie. losing limbs or eyes or something or death).
OPEN TO MANIPULATION: OOCly yes, but be aware he's already got some messed up things going on. Too good of manipulation may lead to some serious results for all involved. Lack of subtlety in manipulation may lead to some very negative cr. Not opposed to this on my end, just a heads up!
... AND MIND CONTROL?: His brain's literally full of holes so sure have some fun trying to control it as long as you can!
WHAT KIND OF MENTAL PRESENCE DO THEY HAVE?: As mentioned above, his brain was literally carved and cut into. It's only by divine intervention (and a very sadistic bone witch) that he has a sense of self again at all, honestly. So there's a lot of blanks from amnesia that just won't ever come back. But what is there of his mind is fractured and full of a literal and impossible to get rid of 'urge' to do unspeakable acts of violence. His mind is not a happy place to be in.
... AND MAGICAL?: Minor magical. His magic comes from his bardic capabilities, so he accesses it through songs, words, music, etc. It's not as powerful as a sorcerer or a wizard might be, but there is an innate sense to it as well. Also, he has magical items on him.

CONTACT: PM please, I don't use plurk almost at all anymore. I am on GMT timezone, so apologies for weird hours.
WRITING: Tend to match others on this, so happy to do prose or action. I do tend towards action more naturally, but no worries if we don't match.
BACKTAGGING: Always happy for this! If I miss something please tell me.
PSLS / MEMES: Please all of these! Happy to do a PSL or just play in memes, as that's mostly where I lived these days.
AU: Happy to do any sort of versions of Baldur's Gate, including Dark Urge as a companion (will write this up, but pretty similar to main Dark Urge story anyway). I am more inclined to play him as a companion, he's not a grand leader himself. Any other AU's I'm open to disussion.
THREADHOPPING: Go for it!
NEGATIVE CR: Not a problem! He's obviously got issues, so happy to have cr that's not always the best or challenging. It's only natural.
SENSITIVE TOPICS: None for me.
SHIPPING / SMUT: I generally tend to assume no one wants to smut with him naturally, lol, so may need it either spelled out ICly or OOCly but happy to take it from there.
I play him as unromanced naturally for ease, but happy to play as having romanced a canonmate.
Open to any ship type - any gender, any canon mates, any other Tavs or Durges, any cross-canon. Again, I can just be a bit dense, so if I'm missing hints you want more romance just hit me over the head ICly and/or OOCly.
