Canon: Critical Role Age: great question.... older than his teeth? He's probably about 100 years old, give or take. Housing: Living on his own in Bonnie's place. Entity Affiliation(s): very much The End. Caduceus is a grave cleric and has been tending a graveyard most of his life. Permissions: HERE
Information: Caduceus is a grave cleric: he comforts the dying and makes sure the dead stay dead. As a cleric, he's also a healer. He's easy-going, not the quickest pony in the race, but very observant and friendly until he has a reason not to be. He's adapting to this new world as best he can and trying to learn about it. In the last event he learned what a jockstrap is while recovering the artifact, healed some burns, and saved some seals after trying to talk to them - some successfully!
ADI Thoughts: Caduceus isn't inherently suspicious of ADI, though he's becoming aware of the disconnect between ADI and the community at large. Saving the world sounds like a good cause, so he will help as he can.
CR Wanted:
+ Caduceus is a 7 foot tall firbolg with pink hair and a tail. Please feel free to comment or stare. He's used to it. Though he will occasionally do things like this because he thinks it's funny.
+ Neighbors! I would love for Caduceus to meet the other people living at Bonnie's. He comes and goes at fairly regular hours and most of the time he keeps his room door open to avoid feeling too cramped. He also brews tea a lot and will offer it to literally anyone walking by.
+ Religious or philosophical folks. Caduceus follows the Wildmother and spends time meditating, usually outdoors, attempting to commune with her even in this weird place.
+ Found family. Caduceus comes from a pretty big family and he lived around them for most of his life; then his adventuring party became his new, extended family.
+ People who are hiding things. Caduceus has an insane, "near clairvoyant" perception: he's very good at reading people and can generally tell if someone is concealing something or lying. If anyone wants to play around with that, I'm so up for it. He will gently call you on your shit if he has to.
+ Feeding his entity. Caduceus is tied to the end and he has a vague understanding that he needs to do something in order to use his magic. He's lately been seeing corpse roots, but he also happy to eerily bring up death and dying or cast his decompose cantrip or a few other spells that might feed the dead. He's also got a bone flute that sounds like a person screaming and he thinks it's great (see: death whistle).
+ Related to that: magic! He tries not to do too much too obviously, getting the sense that supernatural things might not be great to flash around, even if the magic itself is pretty natural to him. He tries to be subtle.
+ Working for ADI: he's both with the medics and the counselors.
+ Everything bring me all the things.
CR Not Wanted: No shippy for Cad. Your character is more than welcome to have a crush on him, flirt with him, make a move, etc. There is a 90% chance that he will not get that you're flirting, and if he does, he'll either act oblivious or gently let them down. I'm totally up for playing this out, though.
Extra: Always open for plotting and discussion, please don't hesitate to ping me! I will warn everyone that I am completing a move and so I've been a little slow, but things are getting back to normal.
HELLO, I meant to tag Caduceus at the event but time got away from me, ugh. Would love to throw Keith at Caduceus regardless at some point. Part of me thinks it'd be hilarious if Keith had to sit through counseling on account of being paranoid and Caduceus was the counselor in question, but maybe something lower key would be better to get these two acquainted.
Keith is also technically hiding his suspicions that he might be part alien from people, but I'm not sure how that would come up :/ Would also be down for getting spooked by the death flute, pfff. LMK if any of this sounds fun to you!
no worries at all, I was in the middle of moving last week but I'M SETTLED NOW SO.
I would love Keith and Caduceus. Even if Keith wouldn't bring up his whole "oh god am I an alien"... fear? Cad might notice him having a rough time or being broody or something else. He might not understand about what, exactly, but he'd notice.
Barring that, I kind of love the idea of Keith hearing the flute and like... idk running to see who the hell was dying? And there's Caduceus, just beaming, "It's pretty cool, right?"
That image witt the flute is hilarious and we should do it. I think Keith would have heard from Shiro that Caduceus is a pretty chill guy so just running into him playing a screamy flute is too good to pass up. We could maybe even combine that with general alien discomfort since that'll be on Keith's mind generally once he's not concerned about someone DYING randomly pffff.
PLEASE see through all her bullshit, it will scare the shit out of her. even if it'll be good for her in the end to actually be able to be upfront about her feelings
He will, happily. I tend to roll for perception/insight checks but Caduceus rocks at those unless something goes horribly wrong. And he'll call her on it if he needs to~
I am fascinated with the idea of tossing Bucky at this dude. His trauma has all been at the hands of human-shaped-people, and non-human-shaped-people might not ping it as hard? Also he's a stealth sci fi/fantasy nerd (from the 40s) so I think he'd be kind of quietly intrigued to hear about Cadeceus's home.
Oooo I'm here for this! Caduceus is pretty easy-going, nice chill energy. He'd be happy to meet Bucky and talk about home.
I'm going to try to get a log with some open prompts up in the next couple days :3
EDIT: next couple of days I said... pfft. But here is an open log for Caduceus with a few prompt options! And I think event things are dropping soon, so I'll probably add more.
