DEFAULT APPERANCE
ACT 1 APPERANCE
Her hair had previously been chopped almost entirely off by Orin, but has grown back slightly since her months in the Moonrise Colony. Some of the longer pieces have been knotted into braids to keep out of the way -- though not cut, as Kressa the Myrkulite necromancer was measuring the impressive speed of its regrowth. Her clothes are an array of different garments and pieces, as Kressa simply dressed her in whatever she found that would both fit and allow easy access to her body for her experiments. The entirety of her eyes are blood red due to repeat trauma to the head/brain.
ACT 2 APPERANCE
About a month and some change has passed since the crash. Her hair has continued to grow longer, and her eyes continue to heal, now appearing a shade closer to their proper hue. Emboldened by her victory against the Goblins (and her claiming of the vampire Astarion), she decides to rob the Goblin camp for some real armor. Now properly protected, she is ready to brave the Underdark -- and eventually Moonrise Towers. By the time they reach the Shadow Cursed Lands, her hair has grown out more, resulting in the second style.
ACT 3 APPERANCE
Home at last. The farther in she went, the more she remembered. It was only after a run in with Orin at the Circus of the Last Days did her memory finally return to her. Her eyes have finally healed entirely and returned to their normal colors -- just in time for their unexpected appointment with Lord Enver Gortash himself. She explored the halls of Wyrm's Rock as if her feet knew them by heart, eventually winding up in the bedroom she'd shared with her husband. She dawned her old clothes and remembered her favorite hair style, and the Archduchess had returned once again.

PERSONALITY
POSITIVE TRAITS:
- Quick Witted
- Charismatic
- PassionateNEGATIVE TRAITS:
- Short Tempered
- Possessive
- ManipulativeDISPOSITION: Megaera, at first glance, is just as charming as her husband. An easy smile of her own, she's able to set those around her at ease with a turn of her lips. Persuasive and intelligent, she prefers to talk her way to what she wants as opposed to using force -- she would never waste that energy on those she deems unworthy. To be killed by her was an honor that her fellow politicians didn't deserve.Her voice is light and melodic, though it holds a tremble of thunder somewhere deep within. In meetings and among patriars, she's light hearted and always quick to a joke. She is often the first to arrive and the last to leave -- her public image is important to her.When among Bhaalists, she is a confident leader. There's an inhuman allure when she leads rites and rituals, as if one cannot look away. Her tone and presence demand respect and she will settle for no less.She is very much a Cersei Lannister meets Margery Tyrell type of character.
OTHER
POWERS / ABILITIES:
- The Slayer : A unique form that especially dedicated Bhaalspawn may assume
- Hellish Resistance : Tiefling heritage lessens the damage done by fire
- Darkvision : Ability to see in darkness
- Skilled Killer : Highly trained in the ways of killing and combat
- Poison Resistance : Has built up a tolerance (but not an immunity) for most poisonsBASE STATS:
STR : 15
DEX : 13
CON : 12
INT : 13
WIS : 13
*CHA : 16LIKES:
- Luxury. She grew up among the wealth and privilege, and was raised to believe she deserves nothing less. She holds all in her circle, as as well as the Bhaalist Temple, to a high standard.
- Her Slayer form. More often than not, Gortash will find her curled up in it somewhere. She often slips into it when her Urges get too much. It relaxes her Urges to not have to think and to simply be a primal being.
- Cats... She rather likes cats. She yearns to be able to wildshape into a Displacer specifically.DISLIKES:
- Anyone going near her husband. Even when they were playing their game of Cat and Mouse in the very beginning, anyone who flirted with or showed interest in Gortash would often wind up dead (fellow lords and ladies were, regrettably, excluded from this).
- When things don't follow a specific set plan. Megaera tries to plan for every outcome, every issue, every hurdle a plan might face. When things don't go according to plan, she becomes frustrated and can lash out.
- The Urge, at times. There are days when she is with her husband, and all she can think of is living a simple life with him as the (corrupted) Archduke/duchess of Baldur's Gate. Her Urge and her Pureblood Bhaalspawn heritage make this impossible.
TRIVIA
Megaera was not "born", she was spawned using Bhaal's own rotten flesh. She took the form of a tiefling, though her horns & tail signal that there may be more to her than meets the eye.
She and Gortash often wear hints of one another in their clothes; She wears a touch of black, he wears a touch of red, and they both share gold.
Megaera used to be very close to Orin, and loved her dearly. Even after the events of the game, she mourns the loss of her sister.
She and Gortash clicked instantly, meeting first at a political event and then again at the desire of their Gods to become their Chosen. They already had a blossoming allyship by this point, and this only secured it.
The scar on her chin was recieved when she and Gortash stole the Crown of Karsus -- which is how he got the one on his chin as well.
BIOGRAPHY
UNDER CONSTRUCTION Archduchess Megaera Gortash (maiden name Vynn) is the only Pureborn Bhaalspawn in existence. She was formed from Bhaal's own rotten flesh, and was treated by the Cult of Bhaal as their beloved Princess of Murder. She was raised with higher members of the cult in the Upper City, growing up as a member of Baldur's Gate's elites. Scleartis Fel watched over her day and night, guiding her along the path to her dark purpose.Megaera grew into a rather influencial politician, easily swaying the city's patriars to align with her Bhaalist goals and her own self interest. A political gala was where she first met Enver Gortash -- then just an up and coming advisor. They danced around one another all night, both physically and literally, trying to outdo one another with their flirtations and influence. It became a game whenever they would meet at events, though they never pushed passed light flirtations and stolen glances.It wasn't until Bhaal and Bane summoned them together that they learned the truth of one another. They'd just assumed the other was a politician ripe for the manipulating. But now they were bound by their Gods and by a singular purpose: the Hoax of the Absolute. Things between them took off from there and the two took their sweet time pushing forward their Gods' plans, just to be able to spend a little more time together.
