Personality

  • Charming and Eloquent: Astarion is very well spoken with impeccable manners. he also displays a high level of charm, an extremely performative charm that is a self defense mechanism from his time as cazador’s slave. Astarion’s charm can almost come off as cliche or cheesy at times because of how thick he’ll lay it on when he’s scared or stressed in order to maintain control
  • Witty: Astarion displays a playful demeanor, often engaging in witty banter and making clever remarks at the expense of himself and more often others.
  • Practical and Cunning: fiercely pragmatic because of his 200 years of suffering and learning to survive under Cazadors rule. very cunning and easily able to think on his feet
  • Vain: Astarion is quite vain taking a lot of personal pride in his appearance despite the fact he cannot actually see his reflection due to being a vampire. The inability to see himself/his reflection actually causes Astarion distress as he has almost forgotten what he looks like and only knows what people tell him.
  • Arrogant and Manipulative: Astarion can be very charming when he wants to and he employs his charm to manipulate others and maintain control when he feels he lacks it. for example in a situation where he feels he is in danger of being abandoned he may attempt to seduce and charm someone influential who can protect him.
  • Possessive and Defiant: Fiercely protective of those he cares about, Astarion feels completely alone and has been shown nothing but cruelty for the past two hundred years, if he were to find someone who genuinely cared for him and whom he cared for in return he’d hold onto them fiercely. He has a serious distrust of authoritarian figures and thoose in power.
  • Driven By Fear: most of Astarions actions are motivated by his fear and trauma. he is terrified of cazador and of becoming a slave again, he’ll do anything to avoid that fate. Astarion believes the world is divided in a predator-or-prey binary, and as such follows a "dog-eat-dog" philosophy, where his goal is to be on top to avoid subjugation. His main priorities initially are his own autonomy, safety, and revenge on Cazador. he displays a very confident and arrogant persona but the truth is he’s got very low self esteem and a lot of self loathing
  • Cynical and Jaded: His views are shaped by a deep distrust of goodness and a preference for self-preservation. “no one ever looked out for me. No one ever said a kind thing to me”. because his experiences he can be quite self centered and apathetic to others pain. he has little interest in helping others unless it benefits him. he never received help why should anyone else.
  • Flirty and Mischievous: He enjoys teasing and flirting with others, often using his charm to disarm others. he enjoys riling others up and getting reactions out of them.

  • Arrogant and Melodramatic: very arrogant and melodramatic he loves having his ego boosted (secretly because of his self loathing nature), a complete drama queen and proud of it
  • Defensive and Slightly Paranoid: He is wary of others' intentions and often reacts aggressively to probing questions about his past. believes all actions are motivated by selfish gain “nothing comes for free”
  • Hedonistic: revels in material and physical pleasures such a good wine, fine clothing, and expensive items. motivated by his desire to live fully and freely after being a slave to cazador for so long. he initially appears to take the same hedonistic view of sex given his constant flirtation and sexual remarks however in truth Astarion actually finds sex very distasteful due to his trauma.
  • Affection-Starved: Initially resistant to emotional closeness but secretly craves meaningful connections. he is extremely starved for non-sexual intimacy and affection.
  • Power Seeking: Astarion is willing to go to great lengths to gain power and control out of the desire to avoid ever being subjugated again, even if that means harming others or doing things he’d otherwise finds distasteful despite this he still is very hesitant to make sacrifices involving bodily autonomy even if it means getting something greater in return.
  • Room For Development: despite his traumatic past and cynical worldview there is a chance for astarion to grow as a person and reevaluate his views if his beliefs are challenged. if shown persistent love and support he will learn to show more empathy for others and begin to heal. conversely is encouraged to seek power at the cost of others and his arrogance and callousness remain uncontested or are reinforced then his worst traits become exacerbated and his personality will gradually begin to resemble Cazador as the cycle of abuse repeats.

Backstory

Pre-Vampirism Astarion was a young magistrate noble in Baldur's Gate, until one day he was assaulted and almost killed by a gang of Gur because of a ruling he had handed down. The vampire lord, Cazador Szarr, approached Astarion while he was dying and turned him into one of his slaves – a vampire spawn. Life as Cazador's Spawn After being turned, Astarion and his vampire spawn "siblings" lived at the Szarr Palace in the Upper City. Being vampire spawns, Astarion and his "siblings" were completely subservient to Cazador, shackled to him through the bond of creator and creation. Cazador used this power to completely control Astarion and the others, and he imposed three main commands onto his spawns:

  1. "Thou must not drink from thinking creatures,"
  2. "Thou must never leave my side, unless commanded,"
  3. "Thou must obey me in all things." Astarion and the other spawns could not physically refuse these commands. Cazador used this power and these "rules" to physically and emotionally abuse and torture Astarion for centuries. Any form of attempted resistance or escape was met with harsh punishment. For example, Astarion was once sealed away in a coffin, starving, for over a year because he had tried to disobey one of Cazador's commands. The abuse inflicted onto Astarion and the other spawn was brutal and frequent. They were, amongst other things:
  • Physically tortured (sometimes even being compelled to injure one another) and had "poetry" carved into their backs by Cazador. When the spawn displeased cazador they were taken to “The Kennels” by Cazadors skeleton servant Godey who would torture them ruthlessly
  • Frequently emotionally abused as Cazador played mind games on them.
  • Fed dead rats and bugs and starved for long periods of time.
  • Forced to venture out into the Lower City to seduce and engage in sexual activity with people in order to lure them back to Szarr Palace and saved for future feeding by Cazador or made into spawn to be used for The Rite Of Profane Ascension. as well as general sexual abuse from cazador and other vampire nobility. Astarion was beautiful and charming and these things were considered commodities, Cazador used him to his fullest extent. However, while out in a city tavern seducing a young noble to bring back to Cazador, Astarion was abducted by the rogue Nautiloid and tadpoled alongside other victims.

Relationships

  • Cazador Szarr: Astarion’s former master and the source of his trauma. Cazador turned Astarion into a vampire spawn and subjected him to brutal abuse for centuries. Their relationship is marked by fear and resentment. Astarion harbors a deep-seated desire for revenge against Cazador, viewing him as the embodiment of his suffering and a representation of authoritarian control. The psychological scars left by Cazador's manipulation create a complex web of anger and a yearning for autonomy.

  • Vampiric Siblings (Petra, Leon, Dalyria, Aurelia, Violet, Yousen): Astarion feels a sense of apathy towards his vampiric siblings. Their shared experiences of suffering under Cazador's rule did not foster camaraderie; instead, they often hurt each other in a struggle for survival. Astarion views them as reminders of his painful past, and their relationships are characterized by bitterness and competition. He feels no loyalty or affection for them, only a shared history of trauma that he would rather forget.

  • Gale: Astarion and Gale have a classic frenemy dynamic. Initially, they openly dislike each other, often engaging in sharp banter and petty arguments. Their interactions are filled with tension, as they challenge each other's ideals and capabilities. However, as they face challenges together, they begin to grow on each other, resembling siblings who constantly bicker yet find a strange comfort in their rivalry. Beneath the surface, Astarion starts to appreciate Gale's strengths, even if he struggles to admit it.

  • Wyll: Wyll represents a potential ally for Astarion, as both have faced significant struggles against oppressive forces. Astarion respects Wyll’s strong moral compass, although he sometimes finds it naïve. Their interactions are marked by a blend of admiration and skepticism, with Astarion occasionally testing Wyll’s ideals. There’s an unspoken understanding that they can learn from each other, but Astarion remains cautious about fully trusting Wyll’s intentions.

  • Lae’zel: Astarion’s relationship with Lae’zel is fraught with tension. Their differing perspectives on power and survival often lead to clashes. Lae’zel’s warrior mentality and no-nonsense attitude frustrate Astarion, who prefers a more cunning approach. He admires her strength but struggles to relate to her straightforward nature. This dynamic creates an environment of mutual disdain, with occasional moments of grudging respect for each other's capabilities.

  • Shadowheart: Astarion shares a unique bond with Shadowheart, as both characters grapple with their traumatic pasts. There’s an initial wariness in their relationship, rooted in distrust and self-preservation. However, as they navigate their shared experiences, Astarion begins to see Shadowheart as a potential confidant. Their interactions often blend teasing and banter with vulnerability, as Astarion feels drawn to her complexity. He is intrigued by her duality and finds comfort in their shared understanding of pain and secrecy.
