guidelines

I. OUT OF CHARACTER DETAILS —
my name is lyns, i'm twenty-nine years old, and i'm in the central standard timezone. i've been roleplaying on and off for an embarrassingly long amount of time, in various places but on tumblr specifically for six years. other places you can find me on tumblr are here.
II. TRIGGERS —
baldur's gate 3 contain many triggering topics, so triggering content will appear on this blog. subjects such as death, violence, slavery, assault, & more might come up in passing. any triggering content will be tagged as #tw trigger. if you have specific triggers you'd like me to add to my tags, please don't hesitate to reach out.
III. CHARACTERIZATION —
with the fact that the player character's dialogue and choices follow similar structure, even with the variety of choices, it's understandable for various pc's to have some overlap. however, if i begin to notice another player character acting/reacting a bit too similar to celeste on my dash, it will result in a block from me. i can't tell anyone how to write or play the game, but for my own comfort, i won't associate with pcs that are too similar to my own.

III. SHIPPING & NSFW —
i don't do much shipping without thorough ooc contact and established dynamics. likewise, i do not write smut, so the nsfw content on this blog is minimal at best, but if it ever occurs, it will be tagged #nsfw. i do not assume that my romance option in game translates to roleplay and i would appreciate others offering me the same consideration.
IV. ROLEPLAY ETIQUETTE —
i tend to abide by pretty standard forms of etiquette in my roleplay; no godmodding, no anon hate, no racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. i have a personally preference to reblog from sources rather than straight from the dash, but i don't care much whether others do it. as long as it doesn't seem like i'm being used for resources rather than roleplaying.
V. DISCLAIMERS —
i do not claim to own bg3 or any of the characters from any iteration of the series. my version of the player character might take from other sources but those sources will always be credited. all graphics on this blog were made by me, using an edited version of the psd 'tender bruising' by supersources.

biography

1467 DR - celeste is born; her parents, who remained nameless, offer her to the nearby temple of selûne to raise her as an acolyte of the moonmaiden. she is raised by the temple's high cleric, though she only ever considered selûne her true mother.1485 - 1492 DR - celeste reaches full maturity, taking up an official position within the temple in baldur's gate. she also begins physically training in combat with some of the other clerics, honing technical skill and weapon capabilities. her entire life becomes devoted to the temple, though she is frequently sent out of the city to lend aid in different towns, whether that be through healing or combat. she was away during one such trip when the nautiloid appeared, taking her and several villagers and implanting them. to her chagrin, she was the only survivor of her group.

dossier

.( CANON VERSE I ).this verse follows the plot of the game, with celeste centered as the player character. while choices might change how certain elements of the game play out, this verse will assume that every available companion has been collected. for most other choices, i can be flexible based on my partners' decisions, especially when it comes to their characters' personal arcs..( CANON CHOICES ).
(not spoiler free):
- saving the tieflings in the grove by uncovering khaga's scheme.
- defeating the leaders in the goblin camp.
- rejecting raphael.
- saving the gnomes in the grymforge.
- not using illithid powers.
- saving the nightsong.
- save the tieflings in moonrise tower.
- reject the emperor's super charged parasite.
- refuse to give the emporer the stones/release orpheus.

.( CANON VERSE II ).this verse will follow the plot of the game, and will feature celeste as a companion character. she can be found at the emerald grove, helping the tiefling refugees as part of her cleric duties for the temple she was raised in while she tries to find her way back to baldur's gate after her time on the nautiloid. she can be recruited from there and will stay with the party until the very end..( COMPANION STORYLINE ).part of her act iii story, much like shadowheart's or astarion's, involves confronting her past. when her temple is one of the many to reject the refugees, she uncovers that their high cleric has been infected by the cult of the absolute and needs to removed from her position or protected by the prism to salvage the temple.

.( CRITICAL ROLE VERSE ).this verse will place celeste in the world of critical role, mainly set within campaign two. within this world, celeste is a follower of sehanine (the moonweaver). she was born and raised near zadash, with a similar story; given up to the temple as a baby, molded into an acolyte. she takes to traveling to heal and spread the moonweaver's messages.she finds herself in contact with the mighty nein after she crosses paths with yasha under obann's influence, offering to help them free her. she does not stay with them at all times, but is always willing to come to their aid should they call.( verse can and will be updated as i see fit.)

.( OATHBREAKER VERSE ).this verse follows canon up until the point where shadowheart decides how to deal with the nightsong. here, i'll be tackling what it means for celeste if she fails to stop shadowheart from completing the mission shar set before her, without it turning to bloodshed.the inaction on celeste's part breaks her paladin oath, barring her from the divine power she's come to depend on.MORE INFO TBA

.( SCI-FI VERSE ).this verse will be an amalgam of several sci-fi universes, with original concepts to craft a world in which celeste is an alien, rather than a tiefling.she comes from a galaxy in which her people thrive on the moon of one planet in a solar system of over twenty. the moon had very little technology, almost medieval still, so when they're invaded and some of their people are taken, there is no precedent for the event.celeste is thrown out of her element then, but quickly begins to learn about the far reaches of space, the possibilities technology can provide, and uses those as a guide to explore the universe.

.( DRAGON AGE VERSE ).this verse follows the plot of the dragon age, set in the world of thedas. celeste is a healer, using spiritual magic. her entry into the events of canon comes midway during origins, introduced to the party in denerim.during the events of dragon age ii, celeste is working within various circles around thedas to teach the techniques she uses in her healing practices.during the events of inquisition, celeste takes a more active role, joining the inquisition itself as a companion options after she meets the inquisitor while helping alistair hide from the other grey wardens.

.( REGENCY VERSE ).it is the early 1800s, society is all about who you are and who you know, and the topic on most women's minds is marriage...and celeste could not be excluded, though she wished it were so. taken in by a wealthy family, although kindly as they were, she knew that her goal in stepping out into society would have to be one thing and one thing only — make a match, loving or no, so as not to become burdensome.
