Paxten Nwath's Links
Pax knows when he gets called out to rescue and retrieve a lost or injured hiker, he will most likely run into Victor. It's become somewhat of a routine for Pax qnd Victor to strike up a conversation during these events. Pax likes Victor but damn if he doesn't wonder how the guy keeps coming across so many hikers in need! I guess it's for the better though.
Victor knows Paxten from being out in the woods so often! During his hikes and explorations, Victor often runs across lost and injured hikers to call in to authorities, who just so happens to be Paxten most of the time. They have an amicable acquaintanceship built up from small conversations every time Victor calls in.
Pax is extremely grateful for the work Dr. Raines does. They have seen him through the darkest days of his life. A time period of his that not many people have had the..pleasure..of seeing. He has so much respect for the doctor as well as their teacher. Dr. Raines helped Pax deal with both his physical and mental trauma caused by the Old IB incident. Pax was not very knowledgeable about eans or the potentials of ean scarring. When he found out that he could be of help in Dr. Raines research, he volunteered immediately. Anything to help reduce the number of people who may have to go through what he did.
Clover was in the beginning stages of their career when they met Paxten, shadowing a more experienced specialist at the time that he obtained his scarring. While they weren't his primary doctor at first, they did eventually end up taking on that role. They have since continued to offer care and support for Pax, both with his scarring and mental health, as well as learning what they can from Pax's injuries to further their research in hopes to help more people. While they are his doctor first, they would still happily consider him a friend outside of their office.
Pax is a little weary of the big man and his weird behavior around him but tries not to show it. Even though Pax witnessed Seretaya in his ascended form, he does not recognize him from the incident.
Seretaya is the reason that caused Pax's ean damage. The hellhound did not intended nor has much thoughts about this moth. There was countless of fallout, and he is a bit out of touch to care.
Paxten has known Nidas since he was very young. All the way back from his time living on Xuxia. Pax's parents saved Nidas's life during the attack that left his eye ruined and his left side scarred. The family often checks up on Leonidas in his isolation up north. Leonidas is like a second father to Pax and they still keep in touch since Pax left for Alph-ea.
Leonidas, having lost his own family, quickly bonded to Paxten. His protective nature leads him to stay in touch, despire his isolationist tendencies. He has known Pax since his childhood, and treats him like a son. Anything Paxten needs, Leonidas attemps to deliver. He knows the world is rough, and wants to shield his loved ones from that reality.
Pax first met Gonny while out on a call for an alphean who had reportedly broken some bones. Come to find out, that alphean was Gonny. Pax and Gonny immediately started to bond over their shared glowy, talking of the many things that come with glowing, both good and bad, while patching him up. Unfortunately, it seems like Pax sees Gonny more often than he would like at work, just another con of being glowy. They are very chill and keep in touch with eachother outside of the ER calls.
Gonna be honest, first time we met I was a little out of it, because Y’know. Broken bones. Buuuut, aside from that finding someone else dealing with glow was a relief. I say dealing with it, since we both got the VERY short bioluminescent end of the stick. My bones break easily, you can see his- yada yada. Chill enough, plus building a rapport with Pax means it’s not as awkward when the call comes in- I could almost swear the hospital knows to send this moth in particular when my number is on screen.
Pax was startled when one of the lily pads he was admiring turned out to be a person! He has since learned to be careful around Leni's pond. Pax thinks Leni is a very silly young soul, not that he's very old himself. He enjoys talking to Leni, who is oblivious of Pax's scarring being just that. Scarring. He has a hard time getting it through the frog's head that he can't breathe underwater just because his limbs look like Mous's prosthetics. He's been pulled into the water enough times, nearly leading to accidental drownings, and is considering learning how to swim at this point.
Leni loves Pax because they match! Although Mous also has see through limbs you can’t see anything inside quite like Pax’s. Leni also thinks Pax should be able to breathe underwater like Mous with these prosthetics, but Pax insists they can’t.
Officer Galceran is someone Pax has kept in touch with regarding the destruction of the old IB building. He sometimes attends meetings Sol hosts regarding the incident to help process what happened. They were also the one who got Pax in touch with Seretaya, for better or for worse, he hasn't yet decided.
One of the people affected by the incident took their parents. There is a sort of.. trauma-bonding situation going on with them. Seretaya is not as bad as Pax thinks, so exposure therapy will do the moth wonders in their opinion.
Pax was once tasked with retrieving the tall alienoid. He sure wasn't expecting the language barrier issues or the injuries that would need to be treated, but they did their best and brought them back to Prime the best he could. He really hopes the towering space sheep finds what they are looking for. They seemed so....sad. Hopefully they are doing well and not getting into too much trouble.
Not many people have crossed Tekh and actually, attempted decent communication. In the craziness of not knowing where they are or what is going on, the moth was a bit of a comforting presence. They were an exception to the rule of average alphean behavior towards foreigners.
