One of the guys in my platoon saw the image of Celeste (from Champions Belt) and fell in love. I wonder how often this character infatuation occurs. Yes, we all love the dark and sexy priestess of Wee Jas. Just wondering.

One of my players has tried to "facilitate communications" with most of the noticeable female NPCs that they've come across. That includes Celeste (a dragon in my game), the elf in Auric's party, a few wenches in Sharn taverns...but not the severely militaristic dragonblood that heads Manzorian's guard in Magepoint. There's a female player in the group, and these are all experienced roleplayers, so it doesn't get too snarky.

Ugh.
Dammit D&D players need to hone their social skills!
One of my players is a bard who worhips a god that I imagine would have a close relationship with Celeste, so they've sort of hit it off.
I'm not sure how far to carry the romance.

Just give him a DC to overcome with Bluff, Diplomacy, or Perform.
Or maybe make him roll to hit with his Rod of Lordly Might or Wand of Wonder. . . . :)
Celeste rocks, no question.
She deserves her own mini, not to mention, a whole merchandising line.
I look forward to seeing "I (heart) Celeste" T-shirts in the near future.
I agree wholeheartedly with the "I (heart) Celeste" t-shirts and the woman needs her own mini.
*Celeste = Roxor in my boxors*
I was hoping for a bit more air time for her in AoW. She was totally under utilized in Shackle City.
More air time in the next Adventure Path for Celeste.
As for relationships IC, I find them to be a rewarding part of RPing. Most of the time I can tell when a player actually wants to RP it and when they just want to get in the pants of an NPC. I shoot them down, hardcore.
With Celeste, I can't imagine someone as professional as her getting involved with someone, especially someone involved with the AoW. Below the professional level I thinks she's at..
Being an Outsider as well, I think she would know instantly whether they actually had feelings for her or they just wanted a dip in the pool.
*Half-Celestial says WHAT!?*

His Charisma is 24, he has a Rod of Splendor, a Diplomacy of +24 and a Perform(Wind Instruments) of +22.
I think she's in love with him.

I hope that is not the "skin flute"
Wulfscout, if your friend has fallen in love with an illustration (even if it's an illustration of a lovely young lady) then he seriously needs to find a way out of his armed forces commitment and reacquaint himself with flesh and blood ladies. There are certainly enough girls out there that look passably like the Celeste illustration and it shouldn't be terribly hard to find someone that fits the bill.
Because she has a lip piercing and eyeliner, I suggest your friend develop some sort of interest in indie rock or hardcore music. Either the really mopey, trendy stuff that sounds like just about every other indie record or the fast and intimidating hardcore scene. The more marginal and obscure, the better. May I suggest Curl Up And Die? They have a song with Doctor Doom referred to in the title, so it won't be all bad. And lyrics aren't really present beyond inarticulate screaming in a demon voice. Beyond that, he should learn to fake it. He should buy tight girls jeans and get some gauges in his ears. Has he ever wanted to get a tattoo? He'll need one or two to attract the 'Celeste-ial' ladies, so he should go nuts. Get faded t-shirts of either '70s rock bands, high school sports teams (track and field preferred, the more faded and sloppy the better and no professional sports teams) or tremendously obscure scenester groups. He should develop an interest in underground music, but make sure he's capable of keeping his taste in such music entirely impossible to truly decipher. He should get a trucker hat and grow his hair out so it's shaggy and greasy. Now, he should head to concert venues and trendy bars and look completely disinterested in his surroundings. In no time, he'll be fending them off with a stick.
I had players in my Shackled City campaings as well as in my current AoW campaign that put moves on Celeste.
I've always played her off as flattered and a little coquettish. Just enough to entertain the adventurers between their more serious enterprises.
Celeste is just too (chaotic) good to be true.
For that reason, she'd be a lot of fun, but it would never last. I'm sure she want to be "just friends" -- and leave it at that.
