Rudolf's Links
Rudolf and Álmos get along very well. Álmos has many excellent ideas for dreams that Rudolf is more than happy to help distribute with his own nightmare dogs, and he likes to add a small twist of his own during the process. But Rudolf doesn't like the way Álmos treats his messengers -- with bark rather than bite, and with coldness rather than love.
Rudolf acts as a mediator whenever Álmos and Csasa can't settle their differences.
Álmos and Rudolf do not get along well. Rudolf is nosy about Álmos' relationships, keeps a strange sleeping schedule, pushes his opinions too strongly and seems to think everything is really funny. But when it comes to the really, really important shit, Rudolf offers a non-judgemental perspective -- albeit delivered with a smile that makes Álmos uncomfortable. At least Álmos is the better cook; Rudolf isn't even allowed in the kitchen anymore. The two brothers have been together since their creation in the epiphysis.
Rudolf genuinely cares for Csasa's well-being. Conversing with Csasa is one of the rare times when Rudolf will stop smiling and curb his shadows. It's been this way ever since the mikroi-gods conference in 1925; Rudolf was directly involved in the incident that resulted in Csasa's head injury. He does not blame himself for his brother's injury as much as he used to, but he still wants to take care of him and treat him well. He'd never state this outright.
Rudolf spends a lot of time in Csasa's study; they work together. Sometimes he forgets to return to his own room when it's time for a nap and ends up crashing on Csasa's couch.
Rudolf is the only god in close proximity that he can get along with. It is a friendly relationship and they collaborate on dreams sometimes. It's also nice that Rudolf doesn't leave as much of a mess around the house as Álmos. He just tolerates the rest of Rudolf's "weird" behavior.
Csasa has banned Rudolf from the kitchen because he somehow always breaks something while he's in there.
Rudolf treats them with kindness and respect just as he does with Csasa.
No opinion.
Absolutely hates Dénes. But by the time they do meet, he has become mature enough that he wouldn't lose control... probably.
Dénes is nervous around Rudolf. He senses anger from him, so he is careful to never be alone with him, lest there is a violent confrontation.
When they first met, Rudolf came on too strong -- he couldn't help himself. He senses that Rasul is not your typical young god and desires to make friends with him, with the ultimate goal of convincing him to join his harem of nightmare dogs.
Half of their interactions consist of Rudolf reaching out to Rasul when he's troubled and encouraging him to vent; the other half of the time is spent convincing him to leave Álmos and join the dogs. Rudolf will even badmouth his own brother to bring Rasul over to his side.
Rudolf figures out on his own that Rasul's body was created by Csasa, but he does not know the origin of Rasul's soul. Things will get complicated if he ever finds out.
Is initially highly uncomfortable around him due to a really rocky first meeting. But his offer to give him more freedom than what Álmos provides -- and the promise of treating him more kindly than a lowly servant -- is tempting. The dog harem thing is really weird, though.
Rudolf knows the 1925 incident is not Ernest's fault, but if he were to meet him again by some kind of tear in time-space, he can't guarantee that Ernest would leave the meeting unscathed.
He was totally out of his mind when they met. He also thinks Rudolf's anger is slightly misplaced, but still regrets his actions.
Rudolf mooches up to Aloys to gain favor among the higher Olympians and further his career.
Is pleased that Rudolf is (apparently) on his side, but treats him like a dog by handing him tasks and rewarding him with treats.
Rudolf sees Johanna as a large obstacle that can be overcome. He sees her reputation among the younger gods and the terror she and the Javelins strike in their hearts. Rudolf isn't really the heroic type, but is competitive enough that he wants to go toe-to-toe with her someday, or is curious to see what would happen if he unbalanced her reign.
Doesn't think much of him until later. Knows that he is a chaotic presence in the aether, but as long as he stays out of her territory, she doesn't care about him. Later, due to his involvement with Rasul, she comes to hate him as well.
Rudolf has the same relationship with her as most gods his age -- to him, she is the student counselor Claire, her true identity concealed from him. He has a "feeling" that something is different about her but he doesn't know what it means. He barely understands himself, anyway...
Initially Rhonwen was afraid of Rudolf. She knows what he is. Now she gives him her cautious approval.
