hi!!! i play a drow/dhampir warlock, how do you think astarion would react if durgetav was a dhampir?
This is a very interesting take! Besides, I and @marcynomercy are obsessed with Dhampirs.
Since I have a separate request for Drows, I will make this one solely about a Dhampir Tav
Who has serious body image and acceptanace issues because like many dhampirs Tav can't stand neither vampires nor vampiric ancestry.
Masterlist
Headcanons
Astarion x Dhampir!Tav
You are an outcast.
You spent your childhood as a normal child, but at the of 16 you felt a terrible bloodlust.
The fangs grew, replacing canines.
Your mother taught you all your life that vampires are monsters and disgusting creatures.
But apparently, she slept with one of them.
Since you are a god forsaken dhampir.
You are scared. You beg for mercy.
But your mortal family throws you out, threatening to murder you if you ever dare come back.
You run away. Alone and scared.
Maybe, vampires can answer your questions? Maybe, your father - whoever he is - can help you?
Alas, no family reunion for an outcast like you.
The vampire who fathered you is a disgusting evil creature who knows nothing but violence.
He doesn't recognize you as your child. Moreover, he doesn't even understand what you are.
You lock him in silver chains and drag him to meet the sun one last time.
You are a dhampir. The only thing any vampire must be afraid of.
Immune to vampirism. Fast and dangerous. A stepchild of the night.
You are embarrassed of your ancestry. You cover your mouth and explain your pale skin by a rare skin condition. But people still fear you, even more than vampires.
You wish you were never born like that.
Eventually, you become a renowned vampire hunter.
One day, you get a request to murder a certain Vampire Lord in Baldur's Gate along with all his spawns and thralls.
You are ready to do such a job pro-bono.
But... The gods have other plans for you.
The moment you meet Astarion, you know who he is. No vampire can hide their rotten nature from a dhampir.
But there is something about him, something about what and how he tells his story, that makes your feel pity.
He doesn't look like those morons who wanted to be vampires. He doesn't look like he enjoyed what he was doing on his master's orders.
He is a victim.
The night he wants to bite you, he realizes your blood tastes weird - it's not like he can't drink it, but more like... he'd better not.
"I am half a vampire, Astarion. Don't push your luck."
You agree that you won't have any problems with him drinking blood if he doesn't hurt the companions and useful people.
You know your own bloodthirst. Astarion has its much worse
You gradually fall in love. Maybe it's your own desire to embrace your dark nature.
Upon arrival at Baldur's Gate, you make a decision - you will destroy Cazador and all his spawns, leaving only Astarion alive.
But - you won't let him ascend.
Otherwise, you will be his mortal enemy. And if ascends, you will kill him instantly.
You kill Cazador - but something changes inside you. You see other spawns, miserable and sorrowful. You've never thought you could feel compassion toward them.
Astarion is different, after all. No vampire is like him. But others... You suddenly see so much in common with them.
Your dark family, your blood, your kind.
Astarion also makes a choice. Ascension means losing you. He will be able to subdue everyone to his will, but not a dhampir.
But you warn the spawns - you will not hesitate to kill them if they lose control.
Post-game, you together do what you do best.
Monster hunting.
You are immune to necrotic damage, he is a literal vampire. You are unstoppable together.
You help him with nightmares and body autonomy issues.
He trusts you. Even though he must be afraid of you.
Sometimes, you love-bite him with your fangs, and, gods, he likes it.
His skin regenerates, and you pierce it once again.
You also learn to love your own body. Your pale skin, your fangs, your dark hair.
It's difficult to hate yourself when Astarion adores you.
You are both fast and deadly.
And you are going to be together for many centuries - dhampirs live as long as elves.

Any kind god, or even a merciful one, would have killed Ciar with the rising sun as he lurked aimlessly outside Oumora's gates.
The sun tingled unpleasantly upon his skin instead, hardly burning. No flames. No turning to stone or dust. No stripping of the flesh from his bones. No salvation. No return to normalcy.
No Juli, not any more. Their blood still painted his clothes, soaked deep and dried enough to make his breeches and the front of his shirt stiff.
They had been tailored for the ball two nights ago and stained longer than he'd had them pristine.

I joined a dnd campaign, and this is my silly guy
…it’s Cy again. But he’s different cuz dnd <<33 more info about him under the cut <3
K, so he’s a Dhampyr. He’s my special little man who eats bugs, is repulsed by the taste of blood despite his cravings, and he really likes weapons.
Cy is a monk that comes from a, get this… monastic background 😮🤯. He grew up in a martial arts based monetary run by his father.
the monastery is called Abalone Mountain, and it specializes in jewel crafting.
Anyways, what’s Cy’s Dhampyr heritage about? When a hot lady vampire and a cringe fail monastery head both need an heir, and also both of them are denying their feelings for one another, what are the results?
a half vampire man with loving parents and a really goofy yah family curse (said curse is his great great great grand uncle, but this isn’t about him)
Cy tends to use his fathers last name, though his actual name does include both his father’s and his mother’s.
Cy is a way of the long death monk who uses a quarterstaff, and enjoys playing the viol and jewel crafting in his free time.
he’s also smitten for a rouge Illithid who he met on his first journey outside the monastery <3
also being Chaotic Neutral helps him stay goofy.
