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. He is slightly at odds with ADI (though not remotely vocal about it) given recent lectures on entities and feeding and what not. He wants to be helpful, but being a cleric is who he is and cutting himself off from that is rough.
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. He's a little more inclined to keep his head down. He's not good at lying or particularly inclined to be duplicitous, but he has some doubts.
CR Wanted:
+ Caduceus is a 7 foot tall firbolg with pink hair and a tail when he's on ADI property. 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. When he's not on ADI property he is disguised as a tall, lank, pink-haired human.
+ Religious or philosophical folks. Caduceus follows the Wildmother and spends time meditating, usually outdoors, attempting to commune with her even in this weird place. And he's communing a little more with the End these days, whether he means to or not.
+ 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. He misses them.
+ 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 count as feeding the End. 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, especially after ADI's general admonishment. He tries to be subtle.
+ Working for ADI: he's both with the medics and the counselors. Come on in, have him tend your physical or mental wounds. Or just stop by for some tea.
+ If your character has any reason to notice this, Caduceus visits graveyards and cemeteries to collect things for tea.
+ Everything bring me all the things.
CR Not Wanted: Nothing 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 they'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! Also please don't hesitate to nudge me on threads - sometimes I can boomerang and others I get a little bogged down in work, so if something has been waiting and you need me to hit it faster, let me know!
I know I am SUPER SLOW right now but I definitely want more CR with Caduceus. Between the non-human traits, the keen powers of observation, and the potential for magical healing over medical healing (look, Winter's got a phobia of doctors...), I feel like they'd be interesting together.
Also, the death-talk really doesn't bother Winter, sorry buddy.
it's okay! I slowed down a little too, so no worries. I'd definitely like to develop more CR here. I also really love the aesthetic of giant, pink, and chill next to short, dark and intense (sorry Bucky, everyone is short next to him).
Caduceus would be willing to do magic healing.... just don't tell anyone.
Haha it's fine XD He won't complain about being the short one. (He can always go stand next to Yelena if he needs to feel tall.)
Winter probably won't ASK for magic healing. But he'll be more likely to accept it from magic than medicine if offered. And not telling anyone is a given :B
Stephen works in medical, lives at Bonnie’s, and can talk all day about magic! I know we have a thread in-progress, but we should have them run into each other again.
I would love that! Caduceus is pretty amicable, so if he sees Stephen around Bonnie's, he'd invite him to join him for tea or offer dinner while he's cooking or something.
