Isaac's first impression of Orchid was much, much less than stellar. But his outraged retaliation towards Orchid, borne of trauma, though futile, damaged something else. Orchid clearly seemed vulnerable, emotionally, when Isaac attempted to strike him down.
He immediately came to the conclusion that there was still some remnants of morality in Orchid. In this, his extrapolated Orchid, in some way, was some sort of kindred spirit. That they'd both lived through harrowing events that shaped them into the combative individuals they ended up becoming.
Despite the enormous disparity in strength, and very much well aware Orchid could kill him with a passing thought, Isaac later comes to the conclusion Orchid is 'pathetic'. Not for showing Isaac that split moment of mercy or vulnerability, but because he sees Orchid as someone who has 'given up', in contrast to Isaac's stubborn refusal to do so, despite everything he's been made to endure over the years.
Isaac sees his refusal to die out of spite for those who wished him dead as a strength, and Orchid's desire for someone unfathomably strong to eventually end his suffering as a weakness. In that regard, while wary of his unfathomable power, he looks down on Orchid.
Orchid might be a war criminal and all, but it never feels good being mean to kids, accidentally or otherwise. Orchid thinks Isaac should really get as far away as possible while he can, although he acknowledges that given Entirety's impending purple doom there's just no helping it. Makes a guy think about his actions. Then do nothing to correct them, as always.
Too bad 2gnis wasn't around to watch him turn a bunch of Fellmunds into a flesh vortex. But, hey! The night's still young.
If he's so omniscient, why doesn't he just not get robbed, huh? Answer that, nerd!
A former annoyance in the Crossroads, but luckily she's been distracted by that whole Test Reality thing as of late.
"So this is Uncle Spaghetti, huh...?"
Considering his connections, it's a little surprising that Hadris hasn't sought out Deius' services. Well, not surprising to Deius himself. Hadris likes to have more fun than that.
An informant whose counsel his master has sought a number of times. Therefore, he's an ally and a stand-up fellow!
A pretty cool guy. Heh.
Kanon hasn't really, like... formally met Deius. Just some glimpses here and there.
It's hilarious how many times Kanon's gonna get away with the whole being mistaken for a cat-dog-thing thing.
He doesn't know his real name is Snowball, does he...?!
He does.
Bastard.
If you don't want to listen to warnings, that's your own problem. Aphelion would've just killed her later anyway, though, so really she lucked out.
An essential cornerstone of the Crossroads, and a man whose services he often seeks. Langelotte likes him beyond mere usefulness, however. He makes for good company, despite the dire fate he forsees.
One of his customers, and probably the top one. Deius is fond of him, finding him a good conversationalist and just an interesting person to hang out with in general.
At least SOMEONE around here is taking this whole party thing seriously! Jeez.
Orchid might be more intrigued by Ent1rety's Ignis than its Dicro. Like, how the hell's he gonna react to everything? He's got a leg up on 2gnis in the mental stability department and way more connections, so would he even turn into the same person if Opine snapped the Test Reality now? Well, either way, Orchid's got a vested interest in Ignis for certain reasons, and Orchid would say they're in for a great time together.
Bastard. Absolute bastard. What the HELL. Well, that doesn't completely describe how he feels about Orchid. He's been curious about him for about as long as he's been Underking. He wants to know more about him. He's always shied away from trying to get closer to him because of his own reluctance to form bonds with others. In Orchid's case..... it's because he doesn't want his heart to get broken in the end. Needless to say, 2liv's feelings about him are complicated. Why does he even LIKE him????????? Also Orchid is probably one of the only people who knows his true infernal status.
One of the Underkings, and thus one of his direct subordinates. 2liv is easily among his favorites, considering his comparative lack of obnoxious and unpleasant traits on top of having actual good ones. Great for bullying, which is like his morning coffee.
Orchid isn't really coming across as much of a stand-up guy. Downright rude, actually!
One of an ambiguous number of sharks.
Thyx isn't entirely sure what the heck is going on with this guy, but he simultaneously feels extremely metal and not very metal at all. He'll have to keep an eye on him for sure!
Of all the possible Tested to be among his first to "reunite" with, he wound up with Thyx? Really? He straight-up forgot the dude ever even existed.
Muri is unaware of "2cro's" true identity, but when she inevitably finds out it's not likely to be much of a deterrant for her. Only serves to explain why his soul is so tempting...
Really not someone he expected to find comfort in upon arriving in Ent1rety, but that's life for you. She's not really on his mind anymore, though. He's strictly off-limits.
Hoo boy. Hooooo boy. Bunny doesn't often fear for Entirety or even himself, but oh man. This guy means business and it's gonna get nasty. :3
Traitorous piece of shit son of a bitch. Let's see you try that shit with me around, huh?
Orchid might be the absolute worst person she's ever had the misfortune of interacting with, and that's saying something considering she knows Ignis! Which makes matters worse, because he's promising a second Ignis! Wasn't the first one bad enough?!
Orchid almost feels bad for giving her such a hard time, given that her worst nightmares are about to come true. But she's just so easy to bully, you know? He really gets why 2gnis could never help himself now.
His worst nightmare, essentially. Orchid may as well just be the physical manifestation of every feeling Dicro has ever tried to suppress and hide away, and here he comes marching in with no subtlety about his intent to uproot and destroy his life. Worse, he's hot and keeps threatening him! Please stop it's giving him complicated feelings!!!
His counterpart in this Entirety, who he has quite the bevy of feelings on. Part of him just wants to bully him, tease him, see what look he'll have on his face after an extended encounter. Part of him hates Dicro for having the objectively superior life and wants to watch him die a horrible and permanent death. Part of him wants to extend a hand, lure him into the life he lives, to have a little company and have a little fun.
His true self, for the most part.
The guise he took when first engaging with Ent1rety. If he's being honest, though, it wasn't all a lie...
Unpleasant. Obnoxious. Crass. Annoying. But he served his purpose, stirring up trouble and forcing the hands of the ever-peaceful Tested, so Fellmund hardly registers on her radar.
Her lady, Her Unholiness. Asena was the one who opened her eyes to the truth of existence. Asena was the one who captured her in heart and mine. Pleris will remain subjugated, enslaved, utterly enraptured until the end of days and beyond, eternally in servitude to Asena's incomprehensibly vast might and superiority... and Pleris will smile through it all, pleased with the whims of fate.
She is a little gay.
