(Feb. 2019): Nando knows very little about his doppelgänger and finds the notion of even having one very strange. He does find the prospect of Amando a fascinating one, however, and would love to learn a good deal more about this human.
(Feb. 2019): Fantasy doppelgänger shenanigans seems unreal.
(Feb. 2019): Then is an eccentric, intimidating dork. Nando does not know him very well, but does find the Time God to be amusingly dorky... it's just hard to know how to interact with someone of such a high status as being a God of Time. Nonetheless, he would like to get to know Then a little better.
(Feb. 2019): Then knows almost everything about Nando--except for what he's been up to in the last few years since his resurrection. The fact Nando, a seemingly insignificant vampire, had his timeline altered to give him life again just before a Reaper would have reclaimed his soul makes Nando a particularly interesting individual to Then.
It also helps that Nando is the child of a very significant being in the universe by the name of Iniquitous, and especially that Nando has managed to help, befriend, and date Then's brother, Now.
(Feb. 2019): Nando would like to be friends, but doubts this would happen.
Paneo is foreign, dorky, and adorable, and Nando pities him and his starless, lifeless world immensely. Nando also finds the whole doppelgänger business very strange and rather fascinating, so Paneo's mere existence is just a bit exciting to him. Nando would like to know far more about the tall little human and intends to visit him one day, hopefully.
(Feb. 2019) Nando is basically an ornamental Amando.
This whole doppelgänger business is really strange and overwhelming, but visiting an entire different universe, being able to see stars, and meeting an actual vampire are good for bragging rights! Overall, Paneo is very appreciative of how hospitable Nando was for him while he was spontaneously left in his company.
(Feb. 2019): Psavine is Nando's precious, dorky, helpful, and rather obnoxious adopted brother.
Nando first met him while Nando was still working as a pirate because Psavine visited their ship uninvited many times. Having the Devil of Kusolensi, and infamous being said to have committed many terrible deeds, visiting their ship was anything but a comfort to Nando. As time went by, he came to understand Psavine to be a caring (mostly) harmless pest and considered him some sort of a friend.
Psavine has kept Nando company since his resurrection, and the two have grown close.
(Feb. 2019): Nando is polite, charming, and a huge dork. Psavine likes his newly-adopted brother a great deal.
As much fun as it was to pester the begrudgingly polite officer when he was a pirate, Psavine is glad to be able to have him for a friend and brother. He makes for good company, and Psavine always appreciates having someone else to pet him.
(Feb. 2019): Arcana is one of Nando's brother's partners, which automatically makes him interesting to Nando. Arcana is also a big, precious dork, and Nando has adopted Arcana as his flying buddy.
(Feb. 2019) Arcana is very glad to have an acquaintance like Nando. Being Arcana's sweetheart's adopted brother makes him incredibly interesting, and Nando is compassionate and trustworthy as a visitor to his protected area. Plus, having a flying buddy is fantastic.
(Feb. 2019): Iniquitous, quite frankly, is the only reason Nando is alive today. For this fact, Nando is exceedingly grateful, and he is grateful for all the care his "futher" (father/mother) has provided for him and is glad to be able to call him both a friend and family member. Iniquitous's dorky tendencies make him good company and someone Nando enjoys as a person a great deal.
Having someone so powerful looking out for him is appreciated and does make a lot of things better, but after being alive for a bit, the fact he is bound to someone quite SO powerful is pretty overwhelming. Nando would not admit this to anyone, though.
Iniquitous absolutely adores Nando, and feels very responsible for him. He certainly has a great deal of fear for being so close to a genespri (magically-bound servant), since Iniquitous seems to eventually lose the trust of all of his genespri and it is unfortunate that Nando has been in the company of time gods frequently, as they tend to be very rambly about the personal lives of others. Iniquitous has some things in his past that he is not proud of, due to having to answer to the questionable whims of higher beings and due to trying to situate himself in the right area of the worlds for his job.
He worries about Nando a lot, especially because of how difficult it is going to be for him to avoid fire, and he wishes he could just wipe his death from his memory entirely.
(Feb. 2019): The fact Elcycinu is a minor goddess, vampire, and performer is fascinating and exciting to Nando. Elcycinu can be a bit obnoxious, though.
(Feb. 2019): Elcycinu has very little opinion of Nando worth noting. He's Iniquitous's kid and genespri, and that's about it. Being a vampire and former pirate is kind of cool, they guess.
(Feb. 2019): Bassi is Nando's big, grumpy-faced, huggable sweetheart and Nando loves him dearly.
They first met when Bassi stowed away on the ship Le Petit Oiseau to escape a bad situation. Nando took Bassi metaphorically under his wing and eventually promoted Bassi to the ranking of one of his mates. Nando adored the fussy-but-sweet man, and spent a good deal of time with him when he could, becoming close friends and speaking openly about many things. (Nando also got enjoyment from being able to get away with more pestering of the intimidating man than other people did, to Bassi's misfortune.)
At first, Nando allowed his sweetheart, Sceptre, to become Bassi's sweetheart. This arrangement evolved into Nando also being Bassi's sweetheart, as well.
Nando missed Bassi terribly and is glad to be able to have his dear friend again, although impatiently awaits the day Bassi retires so that he can have him back properly. Nando also feels ashamed to not be able to return to La Llorona.
(Feb. 2019): Nando is Bassi's dorky, eccentric sweetheart and Bassi loves and admires him dearly.
Prior to Nando's death, Nando was one of Bassi's closest friends, as well as his fairly new sweetheart. The little demon boatswain was responsible for Bassi not getting thrown off the first ship they were on, Le Petit Oiseau, and even took Bassi as one of and taught him useful skills like reading and writing. While Nando managed to be a frequent source of frustration, which Bassi accurately figured to be intentional on Nando's part, he still had a (sometimes) charming nature and truly seemed to care passionately about his work and those around him.
In spite of Nando's obnoxious ways, Bassi came to admire him and, in time, love him dearly--as well as Nando's eventual sweetheart, Sceptre. Bassi never expected to have either of them, but ultimately ended up with them both. And Bassi was happy to be so loved in return.
But then Nando died in a dragon's fire and Bassi took over Nando's role on the ship. the loss of such a dear friend and partner was unbearably hard on both Bassi and Sceptre, but they managed to continue on with their lives and learned to live with the grief. Until Nando returned.
Bassi is amazed, glad, and overwhelmed to have Nando back, and is very concerned for Nando's anxious state. Now all Bassi wishes is to keep close to him and know he's safe.
(Feb. 2019): Nando doesn't really know Calamy, but he's one of Nando's daughter's few friends and that's good!
(Feb. 2019) Calamy doesn't really know Nando, but does know how Nando died, and that is a cause of anxiety to Calamy. He hopes Nando never finds out Calamy breathes green fire. As long as no one tells him... they should be alright. Calamy would like to be able to continue seeing his dear friend Kaul and fears Nando would forbid it if he found out.
(Feb. 2019): Tzofi is one of Bassi's mates and joined the crew after Nando's death, so Nando is not terribly familiar with her yet but would like to get to know her.
(Feb. 2019) Tzofi isn't terribly familiar with Nando, but as someone her favorite officers are very fond of, would like to get to know him more.
(Feb. 2019): A good flower-pounding friend and pettish nephew
(Feb. 2019) Nando is nice and they pounded flowers together.
Estis is a simple fox with simple needs, and one of those needs is bountiful social interaction, so having another person in the family is perfect in his book.
Plus, they can be flying foxy sliders together.
(Feb. 2019): Nando doesn't terribly much about Tadd, though does recall seeing him around on the ship (and a couple of times breaking up fights between Tadd and other crewmembers). It's nice to see a familiar face still around on the ship, though, and since Tadd is one of Bassi's mates, Nando inherently finds him curious and would like to know more about him.
(Feb. 2019): Nando was the boatswain when Tadd first joined the crew. Tadd always found Nando to be a somewhat unsettling and overwhelming sort of personality, but he respected and admired Nando. It's certainly overwhelming to have him back, though.
(Feb. 2019): Nando was shocked to learn he had any descendants, much less meet one. Nando likes his several-greats grandson, however, and thinks he's a precious dork.
Biney was shocked but also excited to learn he had a surprise and still living ancient relative. Nando has many qualities that make him interesting and novel, and that makes Biney very glad to be related to him. He certainly likes the bragging rights.
(Feb. 2019): The whole "powerful fire-elemented demon" thing does not sit comfortably with Nando, but he does otherwise like Stan and finds him and the world he originated from fascinating.
(Feb. 2019) Stan definitely regrets Nando seeing a mural depicting Stan casting and surrounded by his main element: fire. He had been actively trying to keep Nando from seeing it after Iniquitous requested not to use fire. Normally, Stan is a huge brat, so trying hard to keep Nando comfortable was a big step for him. It wasn't anything he could control, either, as the mural was added between visits. It was unfortunate, and Nando's response to it and the change in attitude towards Stan gave him a good dose of guilt and disappointment.
(Feb. 2019): Kaul is Nando's adopted daughter and he cares for her greatly. She'd been on La Llorona after being rescued from slavery, and he took her into his care.
Kaul is a very anxious little thing and Nando worries about her constantly, and does all he can to spoil her and try to ensure she has a good life now.
(Feb. 2019) Kaul is supremely grateful for Nando. Kaul is most certainly an anxious creature, and absolutely did not want to be on the ship. It took her a bit to understand that not being bound to someone is a very good thing, and after being with Nando for a while, has come to greatly appreciate her freedom in a very profound manner.
(Feb. 2019): Sceptre is Nando's dorky sweetheart and Nando adores him to bits.
When they first met, Sceptre freed Nando from magical slavery in exhange for Nando's help in commandeering a flying ship. Nando and Sceptre quickly became close friends and Nando immediately fancied the eccentric and silly lieutenant, but was reluctant to admit this, even to himself.
After a long time of agonizing mutual pining, they found themselves stumbling right along into being sweethearts. It was confusing and nerve-wracking, but they managed, and Nando was happy to be with him and eventually Bassi, as well.
Nando missed Sceptre terribly and is glad to be able to have his dear friend again, although impatiently awaits the day Sceptre retires so that he can have him back properly. Nando also feels ashamed to not be able to return to La Llorona.
(Feb. 2019) Nando has been referred to as the best thing to ever happen to Sceptre. Nando taught Sceptre how to love himself, which is a thing he had struggled with for his entire life. Sceptre feels thankful that he got the courage up to ask Nando on a date. Nando has been invaluable to Sceptre, so his death was very hard. He thankfully had Bassi, who is also a supportive sweetie, to help with the grief and pain.
(Feb. 2019) Nando's former mate, and a dear friend of Nando's. Paavi is a big huge dork and Nando adores spending time with him.
(Feb. 2019) Paavi adores Nando and they've been through a lot together. Nando is the sweetheart of Paavi's "twin brother" (who is not actually related by blood to Paavi) which made Paavi feel closer to Nando. Paavali lost Nando in the same tragic event he lost his own sweetheart, Alice. This took a huge toll on Paavi and while he continued to work with the crew until his forced retirement, he was not as enthusiastically cheerful as he was before.
(Feb. 2019): Nando doesn't particularly know the Tasothien Sea, but it's friends with Nando's adoptive parental unit and is important to Nando's multiple-greats grandson, and so Nando appreciates it. Nando also just finds sea spirits exciting (and a bit intimidating).
(Feb. 2019): Tasothien doesn't know a lot about Nando, but he's fine.
(Feb. 2019): Kaipo is the only merperson Nando has had the opportunity to meet and he finds it very exciting to have met one--and a shark, no less!! Kaipo is very cool.
(Anything else that was established is outdated now so that's about it.)
(Feb. 2019) Strangers on the island are fun to interact with and Nando is very pretty so he gets many merfolk treasures.
(Feb. 2019): Now is Nando's precious, supportive boyfriend whom Nando loves dearly and worries over constantly.
Now is a big ol' anxious, fussy sweetie. Nando sometimes finds his status intimidating, but typically has a difficult time even imagining Now as some highly powerful ancient entity. Now has been so sweet and supportive with making Nando feel safe and loved and Nando constantly appreciates it.
(Feb. 2019) A source of anxious butterflies of both the pleasant and uncomfortable sort. [Still waiting on catching up with the timeline to determine more].
(Feb. 2019): Nando thinks of Gammon as the strange wizard with a lot of crows that Sceptre got body alterations from and they received ship enchantments from. Gammon's affinity for fire makes him not someone Nando would ever intend to meet again after being resurrected.
(Feb. 2019): Gammon probably doesn't remember Nando, or at least not well.
(Feb. 2019): Nando knows very little about the God of Chaos and would find him more than a bit intimidating, but Nando is the brother of one of Kaluwa's creations, Psavine, so would still be interested in meeting him.
(Feb. 2019): Nando is the adopted brother of one of Kaluwa's creations, so that's pretty interesting. Nando's also a resurrected vampire. That's pretty neat.
(Feb. 2019): They met at a party and Warren seemed nice enough. Also he's dating a vampire so that's neat!
(Feb. 2019) Meeting yet another vampirate in a flying ship was very interesting! What are the chances??
(Feb. 2019): She's Now's adopted daughter so that makes her almost Nando's child. Not that he's personally acquainted, but he would find her incredibly precious.
(Feb. 2019) Having a vampire ex-pirate stepdad is pretty cool!! Also Nando is a charismatic dorkbean so they'd get along pretty well.
(Feb. 2019): Nando's hat from when he was a pirate was originally Frisco's hat but I stole it with permission for Nando's design.
And nah, they haven't actually met.
(Feb. 2019) Frisco's entire self is under construction but they'd probably get along.
