Bassi Neta's Links
(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): 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.
Generally a good BM
Tzofi has tremendous respect for Bassi due to knowing just how much work he has to take care of and has experienced a portion of it. Although she is very intimidated by him, he is fascinating and actually very kind when you get to know him. He's a more serious person, and looks intimidating, but he is compassionate; which are qualities she thinks are extremely important in a leader. She would not trust someone who did not care about the wellbeing of his crew. He gets the job done, takes his job seriously, but knows not a single person in his crew is disposable. He's even reasonable about her anxiety, something that would be seen as an unacceptable weakness in anyone else.
Sceptre is Bassi's husband! They've been super close for many years, now, and have been through a lot together. Bassi is incredibly protective over his small husband and adores his laugh.
Bassi is Sceptre's husband! He and Bassi are super close, and Sceptre adores Bassi and is very protective over him. They've been through a lot, and Bassi was among the very first people in his crew that he really opened up to. In fact, prior to Bassi, there was only one other person- the captain of the ship.
(July 2, 2018) - Paavi surely misses Bassi a lot. They became very good friends when Bassi was assigned to be his room mate on the skyship La Llorona. There may have been one or two other people, but Paavi was likely the most patient with the fussy demon wallaby that was stuck in the room with them. And he'd talk to him kindly and offer advice and would leave him alone when Bassi didn't feel like speaking. This was before Paavi became a BM, and ended up being promoted along with Bassi to BM (under Nando, who was boatswain at the time). They remained room mates until Nando's death, as Bassi was selected to become the next boatswain. Paavi would appreciate seeing Bassi again.
Lavi is the daughter of Bassi's (future) sweetheart. She seems nice enough. Intimidating as heck, though.
Bassi is Lavi's dad's (future) sweetheart. He's cute and sweet and Lavi pities how anxious he seems around extravagant time deity stuff.
