Gorion's Interplaner Home for Stray Bhaalspawn

Description

Blame a wizard for this ;)

This is the result of joke between me and Kaispan/ artastrophe who noticed that my Gorion is the only Foster Father to survive the Bhaalspawn crisis in a zillion parallel Bhaalspawn universe. The laws of AU therefore compelled us to determine how all the Bhaalspawn would react to meeting my Gorion, and vise versa. We concluded he would take one look at Sajantha and then this would end up the inevitable conclusion XD. 

So there you have it! After suspicious wizard foolery (Edwin and Xzar arguing over the exact properties of bat guano to be exact) accidentally tore open the space-time-continuum in the Pocket Plane, various Bhaalspawn from all sorts of continuities were able to stumble accidentally into one another, and a number of them spent some time hanging around at the Restraunt at the End of the Universe- I mean- Gorion's Interplanar Home for Stray Bhaalspawn :3

From left to right here are the first four Bhaalspawn to meet (sans weapons, in the clothes they are most comfortable in XD):

  1. Dorean - Neutral Evil Dwarven Rogue. LI: Nalia de'Arnise 
    Fic Tone: A dark and grim take on the story from the point of view of a character who is neither great nor a phenomenal leader, but pragmatic, efficient, and cautious. Has protective tendencies, but tends to blot them out with logically constructed mental analysis of the best response to a situation. 
  2. Ashura - Chaotic Neutral Human Fighter/Barbarian. LI: Garrick
    Fic Tone: Fun over the top pulpy bawdy action that's gory and shocking and then abruptly sensitive and has great romances. Really awesome Shar-Teel. Protagonist is essentially a raging swasbuckler. Buckles swash like a freight train, damn it. Targeted, often single character perspective, ruthless fights.
  3. Aegis - Chaotic Good Human Ranger/GiantSlayer. LI: Xzar
    Fic Tone: Fiercely protective, Aegis recruits and protects the whole BG1 cast. Sprawling epic with strong emphasis on the relationships all NPCs form as they struggle to get along. Big, 3rd person perspective, cinematic fights. Very long story. 
  4. Sajantha - Chaotic Good Half Elf Wildmage/Bard. LI: The most competent/imperious Edwin ever
    Fic Tone: Strong, focused story on a relationship between the plucky Sajantha and an ultra-paranoid, hyper-competent, socially retarded, and selectively oblivious Thayvian. Phenomenal prose quality, with very subtle banter. Keeps to POV style really spectacularly. 
Also, Aegis loves all your tiny adorable Bhaalspawn. Now she has the giant family she always secretly deep down wanted. XD Now she's got a dwarf, a fellow berserker, the world's most adorable bard ;)

I wanted/still want like more Bhaalspawn and Gorion himself but I ran out of energy for now XD.

Current mental list of additional Bhaalspawn: Elatharia (Evil Transmuter!), Ember (Holy crap I have no idea what Ember looks like o.O), Valla (Sunite Paladin, if she hasn't gone missing on us ;), Zanven (blind Bhaalspawn!), and Arquen (hold in there sunny, wherever you are!)

I sometimes wish I had started from BG1 just so I could have kept Gorion alive. AND AHH VALLA IS ON THE LIST!
