SHRED App
Player Name: Fenix
18+: Yes
Opt-Outs: Animal harm, Child death (Children in danger is fine) Dental horror is highly circumstance-based on if I can handle it.
Favored Horror/Torture Flavor: I should be good with all. If something comes up that I can't handle, I *will* speak up about it.
Traitor Opt-In?: No thank you
Password: Pineapple
Name: Jal'Naar | The Dark Urge
Age: |41
Canon: Baldur's Gate 3 (Baldur's Gate in general)
Canon Point: End Act 1
Personality Traits:
- Pragmatic
- Self-aware about his afflictions
- Ambiguous Morality
- Honest
- Willing to Change
- Loyal to his people
- Driven by Vengeance
- Distrustful
- Callous
- Bhaalspawn
Fears: (4 - 6 fears.)
- The Dark Urge
- Failing his party
- Discovering the truth about his past.
- Becoming a Mindflayer

Values: (2 - 3 things they value in others.)

- Second Chances
Hope: That he isn't what all signs point towards.
Regret: Any time he slips up with the Urge.
Best Memory: The tiefling party after they saved the Grove.
Worst Memory: Anything related to the Dark Urge. Killing Quill.
Powers: His Character Sheet!
Arrival Choice: Accept! He'll cut off his pinky.
Soul Weirdness?: Yes. TLDR: Bhaalspawn are formed from the essence of Baal, a God of Murder. Bhaalspawn are part god or, if this part is 'removed', they still hold a god's essence, because you can't just remove half the DNA that made them. That said, when the soul is exceedingly damaged or removed, a Bhaalspawn can and will turn into giant nightmare murder monsters.
Oh and they can sometimes do this by Choice (Jal'Naar cannot), so. You know. This is Fine.
How Do You Wanna Do This?: Fancy Capsule? Something something the SHRED guys can trigger the Slayer form at will. Slayer shows up if/when Jal dies. Look, there's so many ways this can go down.
Writing Samples: w/ Zerxus, w/ Ashton, w/ Devero, w/ Aventurine, w/ Astarion
How Do They Differ?:
A TLDR write up of the AU with notes for the later acts help.
The general gist is that while it follows the general Absolute plot beats of the games, it diverges right from the start: Gale is met on the Nautilod, Jal'nar has more chances to 'slip' than what is presented in Canon, the Companions have more role than presented in canon, and different camp followers like Tara and Fell. Other Characters are also affected, IE: Mayrina becomes a necromancer, Mol ends up a Wild Magic Sorcerer and not a Warlock, Wyll and Karlach are second cousins, though they don't actually know that until 'Granny Imoen' shows up in Act 2.
It also incorporates the EA tadpole gifts as there is dialogue in the full game that pertains to them, and changes up what is gained from Omeluum.
Syeira (the true Gorion's Ward) has a role as well - they first meet her around the Risen Road Toll House where she saves them from a fight that would have been a party wipe otherwise.
While Jal doesn't know it, the Bhaalspawn reveal will come mid-act 2 as they save Minsc, instead of early act 3. Halsin will also stay behind once the Shadow Curse has been lifted.
Though they are present more, the OG cast of the BG1 and 2 games are by no means solving things - this crisis is best solved by the one who first masterminded the plan - Bhaal's amnesiac Golden Child.
