Insignificant pest. Cling to your faith, it only fuels my hatred. I recall this one being in that dirty town nearby. It will burn alongside it then.
Vile. The only reason I let you live was your assistance in dealing with that man. Next time our paths cross, I will not be so kind.
My wayward sister. Misguided as ever, wit her runnin round wit her attitude, actin like a man. She treads a dangerous path, one I don condone. Love her t death, but goddamn she can be a real thorn in my side. Erryone always breathin down m'back bout every little thing she does. Maybe one day she'll set straight.
S... Scary lady. But Ruben likes her a lot. Any friend of family is a friend o mine.
Captain of the ship that helped us with Jay's sweat mine. Started rocky but all in all we get well along. Bisma seems to look up to him a lot.
The watchman fer the Aufeis. He has spice to him, and I like that a lot. I respect it. I also respect his efforts durin the raid.
An old dissonant memory of this man, close with my brother he was yes. Once upon a time, that is. I had once heard that they were lost after the great fall of Andoran. Skittish he was, in general. I was quite fond of him, he was quite and reserved. A good book to get him going, which I admired and liked.
Small child from the stars above, a hailing salvation for the lost Maura. I don't envy his position. As an outsider, this world can appear terrifying and hostile. I am glad he found the Maura, he seems to be growing quite fondly. He even has Runic magic similar to mine! Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from one another.
One of the only grounding forces I had in my life, my dearest brother from so so long ago. When madness was all I knew, confusion rife within my narrow experience and world view, there he was. Dragged me back from the infinite parallels that I was trapped within and able to ground me into the base timeline. He was always there for me in those times, without him I wouldn't be half the person I am today. Blessing or cursed.
I do hope he is doing well, wherever he is out there in the inky abyss of space. I know he still lives, the timelines don't lie, our meeting is fated, but times may change at any point. I dread the day if that's the case.
One of Eshe's young friends, very close with that Grisvaldt boy. The four of them seemed so happy together in their youth. Time however was cruel to all of them, him most of all. From what little glimpses of what I was allowed to see, his timeline is shattered, a branching point for many many parallels. Baseline is no better for him, as the strife is so palpable that I could feel it in the instants I was able to see. I fear for this boy. I wish I could warn him, but that would make so so many more issues for the long run.
I must remain a passive observer.
I've been a leader within the Pentaean forces for years on end- his coldness doesn't bother me. Disbelief is something I had to come to terms with my own soldiers. For the most part, it plays in my favor. Regardless, he's a terrifying warrior. I'm certain he could go toe to toe with even our best.
The Captain brought another small person on board. If this one is like the other, then perhaps we could get along. I have yet to see her in action, only the second hand accounts of what she's done. Im skeptical but the Captain thinks very highly of her. Perhaps one day.
A calm, steady warrior. One I can respect heartily, especially just seeing him spar. His abilities are devastating and his skills worthy of the position Grisvaldt has given him.
A fire elemental, and an elder one at that. One who is said to be once close with our king. If she is as old as they claim, and is as valorant as the stories are, then I respect her.
His soul is a ragged one- I think he'd get along well with the Aszar- but his dedication, the willpower he possesses... He's an incredible man. Even if I couldn't read him he has clearly earned his place in Zion's military.
At first I wasn't entirely sure of their arrival. I first met Osmium and his people on their homeland and... It was depressing. Both seeing the state of everything but also the sight of Grisvaldt and the emotional tidal wave he unleashed upon the world. I can't help but feel he did take a lot of his anger out upon Rancin in their encounter.
After their acclimation to Zion however it is as if they were part of the city from the start. An ancient bond that transcends even the most elder of people I've met.
I enjoy our encounters.
Seeing Azir alongside Grisvaldt was... Well, I don't think I could ever find the words. I think the last time I truly saw him, outside of his duties, was when we were young. Sure I'd see him on trips to Zion, and even now I mostly see him on duty. But unlike then I can actually catch up with him once again, learn about what I'd missed out on. And right now I think I've most missed him and Grisvaldt, not only as people I've looked up to and somewhere to draw inspiration from but as close friends. It's getting lonely and seeing them, being with them, so close as always... It's comforting.
It has been... Eons since I've seen Osmium. From a reserved young man, focused more to his studies and the sky, as well as my king, to the defacto leader of a people. Though he may look weak, his will and strength is immeasurable. Easily reaching in the halls of the greats.
I am happy to see him alive and even happier to see him able to regain the lost ground he and my king have lost. The universe is getting lonely, so us ancients need to stick together.
I never met Azir personally, but I remember Oxi talking about him fondly sometimes. I visited Oxi when he moved to Zion too and I could see that what Oxi said about him and Grisvaldt was true- even if it had a rocky start in some people's minds it was prosperous then and still is now.
Another ancient face, welcome in our society. It admittedly makes me happy that he survived. It is a shame what happened to their sibling, but in the end thus is the endless march of time. From the past, I recall them being a rather good doctor like his siblings, though he tended to drift more towards the Cuvaor side of things so his skills were focused there alongside their sister. Surviving all of that, in that state... I can only imagine how much pain they went through.
In the end, he is alive. Yet another remnant of home whom is always welcome in our city.
There's... A lot more warriors to look up to here on Zionia. Not that my soldiers weren't worth admiring, but when you get out here and you see suns like Azir... He may be quite a bit above me, even in the King's Guard, to the point where I don't really interact with him unless I'm visiting with Osmium. But I do see him in training and in battle, and the terrifying skill he displays absolutely encourages me to train harder.
Despite my indifference to my underling bringing her in, I am rather glad she has made her home within the ranks of the King Guard. She's not only a powerful and useful ally, but a well needed morale boost after the consistent blows we've taken as of late. The Cultist's never-ending assaults seem to have been increasing in frequency. Had she not arrived to help keep the troops bolstered and invigorated, we may have lost quite a lot more than morale. She is a valued member of the military, along with her friends.
He and Grisvaldt were always in a league of their own, especially as kids. I think the reason I got to the skill level I did was because I had so much practice, taping them back together. Even with Azir keeping them out of the worst trouble. But if it weren't for Lactam and Azith... I may have gone with them when they left. Not out of any disdain for Cadmium, but because it was clear they'd end up with something great.
Despite his... disagreeable personality, he is a wonderful doctor and admittedly another face I do enjoy seeing around the city. Reminding me that not all is lost to the endless waves of time that seem to continuously push me into this mindset. While it is regrettable that he was separated from his siblings, there is not much we can do about that as of now instead of keeping look for them.
In the past, long ago before Zionia became the true beating heart of our people, he was always there to keep us standing up until we took our first steps as an empire. If it weren't for him, I don't think that neither Grisvaldt nor I would be alive today. Not from anything back then in particular, but the constant reminder that we can still lose our lives helped us realize that life is fleeting and we need to treat it with sanctity.
Azir's really damn cool. Technically we're on equal footing in our organizations- We don't have a single leader, so Azir's the closest I got on Zion. It's kinda humblin' being around all these old folks, Massively older than I'll probably get to be. I may be full grown but I still kinda find myself inspired by him. It'd... Probably be best fer a lotta folk if I was a bit more cool and calm like he is anyhow.
I've seen my fair share of terrifying folk in the universe. People like Cadmium who can rip the universe in two if they so wish. People who harbor the power to completely nullify everything and rebirth the universe anew in their image. Gun here us another like that, a behemoth of strength and power. Regardless of that strength, they're so young. Troubled yes, enduring the worst that the universe has to offer at such a young age. And here he stands now, tall and proud. Leading the UO, one of Zion's closest partners, in the right direction.
They may be volatile, but in this day and age. Who isn't. Gun, and the UO as a whole, are a welcome addition to the Zion-Ita alliance.
A fire elemental, the daughter of a lunatic, and one of the mothers of the finest warrior I had the pleasure of knowing. She herself is no force to be reckoned with, as her and Brimstone make a Terrifying duo.
I am altogether pleased to hear she has survived this long but ultimately it was to be expected. Fire elementals are notoriously hard to beat down.
Another fine warrior from the Oxide family. I recall a time long ago where their family tended to be close with the military of Andoran. They made one of the finest warriors and combatants that had graced the surface.
My heart goes out to her and the rest of her family. To endure Rancin's filth on top of the horror that underwent withing the Pentae system. Ultimately they survived, thankfully. But I can only imagine the horrors they endured to get to this point.
I feel I know about as much about him as anyone else... but, he's still an interesting person. I most often meet him when I come in for service and assume he's in for the same, but who can tell? I'd like to think my military career is behind me, but I don't know where else I could run into characters as... Interesting.
