> finally ref sheet for Diamant, the cursed bastard ⚡️

> × not Dark Urge anymore, but bhaalist and Marrow’s unique companion with his personal quest line
> × Neutral Evil

And some info about this sweet man

As we were saying, he’s not “second” Dark Urge anymore, but bhaalist and Marrow’s personal companion. Once a childhood friend, he became her right-hand in the cult, and after her disappearance he tried to find and bring her back. Honestly, he was never really into the whole Bhaal thing, he was just there for her, who became a real family for him

However, he is not melodramatic, his concept of “family” is a bit specific: when he was a kid, he kinda… died, but a mysterious entity took his body, giving a second chance and a new personality — cruel and lacking any empathy and humanity. The essence reminds of that Strange Ox in game, which also has a murderous nature. So his love… not for everyone. This is the love of a monster and a parasite. We’re still reading dnd lore to find the perfect reference for Diamant, but we think you have caught the main idea

So, before all the changes, his life was not easy either. Even though people might mistake him for a ordinary tiefling, he actually comes from a family of half-elves. However, his parents were something like talentless warlocks, and their “little hobby” left a cursed mark on the unborn child. Actually, yes, this is one option, how tieflings can appear, but Diamant is very far from their race and people, what is similar to the Marrow’s story (and what he also liked in her very much). They both always felt like outsiders in any society

And some facts:

- From a very young age, Diamant was dropped to the temple, where he became a novice and learned some monk skills
- His horns are not growths, but covered with skin, warm and soft
- Being half-dead, his skin has pale and bluish shades (it’s not makeup), and the lightning pattern on the body and face are burn scars from magic
- His magic is based only on electricity. In close combat, he prefers to fight with his feet without using his hands
- Fashion disaster 😎
- He may seem like a himbo, but he is sneaky bastard and terribly cunning
- Has a bad relationship with men, but loves women’s attention
- Corpses enjoyer. In any way. Use your imagination
