She really tried...
He's my brother. I protected him and tried to keep him safe from falling into our father's and grandfather's cruelty. I watched him decay in front of me and I didn't even know until his blood was on my hands.
They were a good teacher and helped me out a lot whenever I couldn't go to Aunt Juvar (and my father would've had my head if he knew what I discussed with them).
One of my favorite pupils. Young Caed will go far and accomplish many great things that they'd never even imagine doing under the confines of the Castle, even if it's a tough ride to self-acceptance.
Wyatt's the only person with the guts to tell me everything my Family has done wrong, and I hope I can hold myself accountable and change my family for the better
The Family Caed has only done harm to Speravi for years, but Azrael's cool. I think they'll live up to their promises, hopefully, and at least try to undo the harm their Family has done.
I wish I could've helped them more. They didn't deserve to go out like that; I should've sacrificed myself.
They're a good knight. I trust them more than anyone and they're the kinda knight I want to be - once I get into knight school.
HAHA WHAT A NERD
If I have to get him out of detention one more time, I - will cry.
A fox who deserved to be put down for putting my friend's safety at risk.
An elf who deserves to suffer alone for treating their "friends" so terribly.
One of my dearest friends, although it'd befell me if I didn't admit that she's the closest thing to a daughter that I'll probably ever have. I wish to see her thrive and sometimes it befuddles me to witness a person with so few material motivations to push on for. She lives to exist, and for her such an existence is liberating and I would do anything to ensure that her truth remains as so. Although I do wish she would stop going to death's door step every other day because no matter how much I protect her, she always gets hurt, and I know that infuriates Dominar as much as it does me.
Azrael is weirdly protective of all of us, which is something I didn't get a lot of growing up. Which, my parents were great!! I'm sure if we were fighting abominations they would have done a super duper job I'm sure!! But I'm just not used to people doting on me and it's kinda a strange feeling. It's nice! But I just sorta worry about them. They spend a lot of energy looking after our crew and I don't really get why. Feels like they're trying to fill a hole somehow, but I cannot imagine our antics fill it. Or at least, Gods, I hope not. Have they been dealing with miscreants like US their whole life??? Is that why they're so tired and kinda sad all the time????? Why they're so hard on themselves??? Yeesh. I hope Azrael sticks around to look after us a little longer but I hope they have a VERY happy retirement planned for all we put them through.
Haha... who?
HE STOLE MY PLANS FOR THE "CAR" AND I LOST IN COURT BECAUSE HE PAID THE JURY OFF AND EVERYONE FORGAVE HIM BECAUSE HE GAVE THE MOST HALF-ASS APOLOGY I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
She's my best friend who's made some questionable decisions. Sometimes, I stop and think about why I'm still her friend, then I remember her excitement - about everything, something I sorely lack - and I lose track of that thought immediately.
I love him - I truly do. We've been best friends since we were young even though the Family Repperi and Caed have been at odds for decades due to the innate magic of the Family Repperi.
It was tough when I left him behind to study magic in Godthwick when I didn't even know when the magic ban would be lifted in Speravi. He detests I left and learned the one thing he hates the most
He threatened my position if I ever taught his child about magic, and while it hurt that I couldn't be my true self around Azrael, I would throw out every other part of me if it meant I could help Azrael learn to walk again.
Arden's a fine friend for Azrael. I know how attached they are to him, and their union would greatly benefit the Family Caed and Ardor. He's a bit - loud and rebellious for my liking. I've heard Spectara complain a great deal of times about her son refusing to do her wishes, which is concerning at best for the future of our kingdom.
As someone who's witnessed Azrael's multiple breakdowns as they tried to be the best child and knight they possibly could be for Patrion, I can confidently say: fuck that guy.
Arden's a great kid. He reminds me of when I was a kid - angry and rebellious against a system meant to restrain him, including parents who detested our choices and dreams because we chose to be vocal about them instead of silently following them.
The BEST noble to exist. I wish she raised me instead of my mother. Juvar's fun, and I've probably learned more about fighting and diplomacy than my mother could ever teach me.
His stubbornness is /irritating/, and he has more anger than most of the barbarians in Neamhain. I don't know why he's joined the Abrecahn, not that I'm complaining, he would've done much better in Neamhain and he'd be able to punch more things if he had.
But look, did I fall in love with him? Yes, I did. Of course, I did - I always do. Arden's a good guy and the only noble I'm glad came to Taliesin.
I probably lash out a bit too much on Amias. He's a great guy, but something about Taliesin causes me to rage and lose my shit and I'm around him so much that he tends to be my target. I'm trying to restrain myself, he deserves better.
Although, he's pretty fun to flirt with. He's not used to being the person being flirted with instead of the other way around. He reacts the way I'd imagine Azrael would react if they're being obnoxiously flirted with.
My mom's the most amazing person I know and I'll never be half the person she is, but I can try. I've done some risky things that she heavily despises, but it got me into the places we needed to be.
They're my child and I love them, but they seek a future rivaling the greatness of their twin's, and I don't want to see them fail.
The man who's somehow the most obnoxious person they've ever met, who can never stop talking about everything and anything, and - fuck, I liked that Amias is everything they once despised; that he doesn't treat them like nobility; that he understood that sometimes I can't speak and spoke enough for the both of us. I liked him so much, so, so much, but was it something we could hold onto when inevitably part to continue the rest of their lives? I don't know.
Angel's the kindest person I've ever met, and while our time was short, they're probably the best heartbreak I've ever had.
He was my best friend - and he disappeared one day. I loved him - I think, love is not something I really understand beyond platonic bonds, but I know it was something more than that.
I miss them to inferi and back. I went on a mission and never told them. I wouldn't have minded if I came back to Nitor and they slapped me if it meant I got to see them again, but now I'll probably won't see them ever again - unless the Aviary's cycle is true and I'll get to see them when I die.
He was my father.
They're far more stubborn than I expected, but I suppose that's my punishment for allowing Juvar to partially raise them when I'm out on a mission.
I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. They've in fact done some impressive feats, but I can't say they're ones I'd sanction.
They're my aunt, and she's responsible for any and all good aspects of my personality. I miss when she'd bring books from all over Speravi and we'd read them together; her ability to spill information and stories at the drop of a pin; and her rants regarding obscure topics, including ones about magic that I wouldn't have learned about if she hadn't gone a tangent during a conversation that was nothing about it.
I wish I could show her my magic. She'd be proud of me - I think.
Azrael's the best kid I've ever known - and I totally don't believe that because I raised them for a good part of their childhood. The kid's going to go places - places their father never wanted them to go but the places they need too.
They're my sibling who convinced me to learn magic which turned out to be a much better thing than I expected. I have many questions for them, but the likelihood I'll ever see them again is slim.
I've only met them twice - once after they were declared a war criminal for a crime that I committed that consequently started a war, and the other time was after the war and Speravi was razed to the ground, they were drinking their ass off in a tavern and wallowing in self-pity.
I'm sure they're an alright person when they aren't dealing with gigantic shifts in their reality, and it might be neat to have a sibling to bully but I haven't seen them in two decades.
I have never met this woman in my life. I've seen a drawing of her once in my father's study but he refused to tell me who she was.
I haven't seen them since they were only a few months old. They'd clung to their father and wailed every time they parted. Patrion was awkward around them, but I know he cares for them, he wouldn't have taken them to Speravi if he hadn't.,
Gravity is pretty cool !! They lead this neat church for this fire guy that promises to someday have me be able to exist without burning in the sun! I'd love that..
She's quirky - and has connections. I can use her for something.
Az is.. well, I guess they're my friend. It feels like I've known them forever, despite us all only having adventured for a year or so. They're definitely the most competent out of everyone; I'm not sure who would keep us all reigned in if they weren't around! While it feels like they can be a bit of a buzzkill at times, it definitely wouldn't be the same without them around. I.. I really want to be able to protect them in the way they always protect us- though it doesn't seem like they need it, haha!
Dominar is one of my dearest friends. He sometimes makes incredibly irritated at times. I have a tenuous at best relationship with the two things he himself holds dearest: religion and alcohol. I've long since lost any respect for the fine structure of organized religion, and Dominar can be an evangelistic bastard horny for a deity who will never notice him but what's a god without followers - and apparently, incredibly horny people - to do their will. Alcohol has been something I've long given up due to some... personal issues, which I'm fully aware makes me a buzzkill. I like to make sure my friends survive their many ridiculous and out-right stupid escapades, and if I have to be the one who has to step in and ensure my young, fragile friends' safety, I'll ruin their fun no matter if it means they live another day.
Dominar's a protector - it took a while for me to realize that. He'd rather die than show that he has a modicum of emotion, but he has one weakness that screams to the world even though he refuses to say a single word to her. And I understand that weakness - love is a ravaging force and one of the most terrifying at that. It's what drives me to be a protector - love for my friends, love for the sanctity of life, love for a life that's long gone and to make sure it doesn't happen again - and it scares me when I can't be there for them. Dominar says he's fine - that they don't always need me. But I've seen what happens when I'm not there - people get hurt, and I stop that. I take the brunt of the damage that so they don't, and Dominar can't do that. He fights with his words, and words don't always work.
