Here to let you guys know I didn’t actually drop from this group and due to complications, I don’t wish to be here regardless.

If necessary I will make one more post, but as of now this is what I’m posting so it’s done in a decent period of time as I have a lot to do today and Monday. I’ve offered to talk to the mods in the event they misunderstood me. If I am ignored, I do not expect my feelings to change.

Good luck to the people who remain here and continue having fun.

;; Just here to give a quick update on things.

Firstly, thanks to everyone who sent some kind of support (likes or comments) on my post about the hospital. It did do well for me and I have medication now. I ended up there for about two weeks instead of the one I thought I’d be there for. Still trying to adjust to three medications but I guess that’s what happens when your mental health slips bad enough. :’)

At the moment I’m taking an extended break because I don’t really have it in me to write right now but I want to stay. I’m still struggling albeit a bit less than I was and the daily meltdowns aren’t happening now and I’m a lot less irritable than I was.

As a heads up for anyone who has followed me that joined FERP since I went on hiatus, I’ll be going through the masterlist again when I get back and following everyone new then all at once.

All of this applies to Takumi as well, so see you all then. =o

;; Just letting you guys know I’ll be going on hiatus for a while. I might come off of it when I’m back but I’m going to a mental health hospital and might be gone for around a week, which means I’ll have absolutely no access to Tumblr in that time. After that I might not be all that ready to jump back into things here so I’m going to give it however long and I don’t know that I’ll need a full hiatus or if I’ll need longer yet. I’ll figure it out as I go, but for now to be safe, I’m going for a full hiatus. I’ll be leaving in the morning tomorrow.

perceptiveknight:

It had been foolish of him to order his men into a battle which he knew would involve dark mages. Certainly, Belf was no longer a rookie commander - he had taken the precaution of sending cloaked mages to scout out the enemy force - but never could he have imagined that just two dark mages among a force otherwise entirely comprised of infantry could cause this much suffering. For the two mages were necromancers, who’d raised up undead wyverns to tear through their ranks. Live dracoknights were frightful enough, but there was something eerie about fighting feral wyrms with holey wings and flesh and entrails peeling off in sheets, who didn’t falter in the least when shot up with arrows. They had been fortunate to slay most of the wyrms and escape with their lives intact, but nor were they in any shape to fight back and rout the enemy. The wyvern bites festered with an unknown malady, one that their two clerics were ill-equipped to handle when perhaps a third of their fifty men had been hit by that or by dark magic. Even if the knight added his own medical knowledge, subpar as it was to the clerics’, they were still far too pressed for time and resources. Every minute they wasted in this fort was a minute Gharnef’s underlings could use to prepare an assault or a surprise attack - and they could not afford to be surprised.

While Belf kept his healthier men banging the walls and raising a general ruckus to maintain the impression of a much larger force, he’d secretly dispatched a lone messenger and a horseman to the closest allied village in Khadein to request aid. Prince Marth and his liberation army had already departed this area. If they could not oust the enemy in a sennight, they had no hope in catching up. IT was this thought that kept him rushing through the camp at a near-run, as if by reaching his wounded quicker, he could restore them to their feet much sooner.

He was leaving one soldier to go help another when he was accosted by an unfamiliar male voice. “Are you Belf?” it asked. “I’m here to help with the medical treatment. My name is Sety.”

Belf turned to face the man addressing him, his hand hovering near his sword until his visitor introduced himself. He was garbed in hues of blue, white, and brown and regarded him with kind eyes partially hidden by straight green hair. By the easy way he stood upon the desert sands, he figured this newcomer to be some sort of mage. After the events that had transpired here not too long ago, Belf was within rights to be apprehensive of this mysterious new mage, but Sety did not seem to be a threat, and they could use the medical help.

“Well met, Sety. I am indeed Belf. Welcome to our humble fort.” He nodded greetings to the newcomer and was about to show him inside, but then a piercing scream rent the air, causing the knight to flinch. That was the soldier he had been en route to help. “My apologies; do you mind if I walk while we chat?” he asked. “Our situation here is dire, as I am sure my messenger has confided. I’ll fill you in on the details as we go.”

The knight set off at a brisk pace, though not so quickly that Sety could not keep up. As they moved, he recounted the events of the prior battle. “Our troops numbered seventy-five,” he said. “We had fifteen knights including me, ten archers, five mages, and the rest infantry. We tried to take an enemy fort about five miles northeast of here, but they had two disciples of Gharnef, a sorcerer, among their infantry. At least one of the two had to be a necromancer. They summoned up undead wyverns and dread magics to rout us. We barely escaped with our lives.” He paused and scrutinized the sage. “You said you were well-versed with dark magic, yes? Perhaps you are just the person we need.”

They had arrived at a white tent isolated from the others by a sheet. Even out here, the suffering and the smell was very apparent. Belf drew back the sheet to reveal perhaps five gaunt men with skin colored various shades of gray, each shivering as if already feeling the chill that came when the desert sun set. One was attempting to draw the sign of the cross while another cowered in his threadbare sheets, simply waiting for the end. Belf knelt before the cross-signer and wordlessly held out a small vial of elixir, which the other took with trembling hands. He kept his hand there while the patient drank, rubbing his knuckles in a gesture of compassion that nevertheless did nothing for the man’s physical health. The knight looked up at Sety from his squatted position. “These five men were the only part of the vanguard that survived. The unit I led with my brothers-in-arms was not far behind. By the time I saw the danger, it was too late.” He closed his eyes for a moment; the pain he felt at having sent them to their deaths was clear to see. “Is there anything you can do for them?” he pleaded. “Name it, and I will do it.”

The information was unfamiliar, but he understood it just fine. These were different lands, and though necromancy wasn’t a cause of concern in familiar territory, this was not familiar territory. Not for a moment did anything seem too unreal after he’d been through various other lands. If they were dealing with undead, the situation would have been, battlefield wise, even worse. Undead enemies wouldn’t think. They wouldn’t feel. They would have no remorse or hesitation, and it would make for a far more difficult fight if they had no pain instincts and would only keep getting back up and fighting more.

“The extent and time period needed to do this much damage with the dark magic where you come from is probably not the same as the enemies I’ve had to fight. I don’t know how long it will take for the body to start shutting down, but dark magic mixes with the fluids and damages the cells depending on the severity and how much of it is present. You’ll need to make them throw up a bit. It’s mixed in with the blood, and if they’re not coughing blood yet, they’re likely not in immediate danger.”

He checked around the tent, eyes intent on locating anything that could help. When it was him, he never really stopped to treat it if it was tolerable, so going through these steps wasn’t something he’d been through personally - or at least not willingly. The coughing of blood was occasional, but beyond that, if he wasn’t in the state these men were, there was a difference in the magic. After all the time he’d spent fighting dark mages and dealing with their magic, if he wasn’t in this state, whatever was used against them was above average magic by far.

“If you have something to let them vomit into, that’s the first step. It’s the only way I know of that will really start getting it out. It doesn’t have to be constant, but every so often. I know light magic, but anyone else who does will need to be around to help if we want this done fast enough so that nobody dies.” He lowered to one knee to check the condition of one of the men, checking the arms and neck for what kind of damage was done.

“Not all of their cuts and scrapes have been healed yet either. If we can find the right ingredients too, once those are healed we should be able to make ointment to ease the pain it’s causing in their muscles and joints. With the way they are, they’ll be better off if the pain stops even if the magic is still in their body. It won’t kill them immediately.” He checked around for spare paper and something to write with, locating what he needed and writing off a list of ingredients. It would be best to keep them still and relaxed during healing, and it would be that much harder to manage if they were already in pain if the healing did cause any additional pain.

Reading it over again, he wrote what the ingredients were for at the top and handed it to Belf. “Have someone locate what’s on this list. They’ll need to be boiled together with what’s on the lower part of the list below the line. If you have any spare cloths or something to put on the areas that ache most for each person, mix the medicine into the cloth and get it onto the wounds or aching areas. You and I can take care of cleaning up the rest of their wounds, and we’ll have to start getting some of the harmful magic out. Any staff users besides me who can use light magic will have to infuse their magic into whatever they can, be it medicine, food, drink or whatever will get into the body.”

The place was at least well stocked, and Sety was able to find enough bandages and spare water for cleaning with cloths and various materials around. As long as they had some to spare for the medicine and hopefully per person, it should be enough to get through this at least. If any of those cuts were infected, he didn’t want to risk cleaning those wounds with the same cloths even if he used different parts of them if they were low on material they could use. Infection would only worsen the dark magic and worsen the pain.

Grabbing some of the bandages, he moved them to Belf and went back for the spare water before he knelt adjacent to Belf with the bandages and water buckets between them. “While someone is out there, we can at least finish cleaning them and getting them ready, but it’s probably going to still hurt like hell until the medicine is made and in contact with the skin. Once they’re not in pain anymore, I’ll work on the light magic.”

Emotions

💕 IN LOVE

Oblivious. Very truly and completely oblivious. If he were to fall in love, he would simply believe it’s someone who is important to him somehow, but not that it’s reached that extent. He wouldn’t completely understand why that person is important to him. He’ll go out of his way to keep that person safe and make sure nothing bad is happening, and he’ll spend more time with him, but the reason for it would be very unclear to him.

Despite not realizing what he’s feeling, he will think of that person more often. He’ll worry for them and try to keep them within his line of sight even on the battlefield. Seeing them at war or having to fight for their life would hurt him, especially because he knows he can’t just to tell certain individuals to stop fighting just to stay safe. There will be a lot of internal conflict, but he won’t act at all like something is bothering him.

It would probably be very clear and obvious to other people if he was in love with someone. If the person wanted anything to do with him, he would be around them far more often, when ordinarily he doesn’t spend much time with people on a personal level. He wouldn’t get upset if someone told him he was in love, but he would certainly doubt it or that it’s even good for him. He’s run low on emotions for the past few years - intentionally - trying to avoid vulnerability, and weakness on his part would be danger to other people. He also hasn’t felt much good in his life, so he would question if he really feels that way about someone at all.

On his own, it would definitely take some time for him to really be able to grapple with the idea that he may be in love. He would wait it out to try to confirm it, but he would definitely question having feelings like that for anyone. Once he was over that part, it would be the above: being around them more often and trying to keep them safe, and much more actively them specifically. It would depend on who it is, but he’s still not likely to show much positive emotion unless something that person does prompts it.

🌦️?

Emotions

🌞 HAPPY

About the same as relaxed. He’s quiet when content, and because of the time he spent alone and the fact that he grew up mostly cut off from the outside due to the Empire’s occupation, he’s slow to really feel things like that around people. When by himself, it helps him focus better, and around people, you’ll see the occasional smile or snicker, and he’s more likely to initiate conversation than simply replying to conversation.

Overall, “happy” is a pretty foreign concept to him versus content, as his teenage life has lacked happiness quite a lot. Being with people his age in the armies he was with helped a little, but it takes times to feel something beyond content. Sometimes it may even take a bit of extra effort on the other person’s part, but he’ll eventually come around if someone has spent enough time with him.

If he’s ever truly happy, he’s more likely to spend time around the people who make him feel the most human or work with less stress. Patience is important when dealing with trying to actually make him happy, as he himself is not even sure actual happiness is something he knows how to feel.

Emotions

🌦 LONGING

A variety of things could happen if he’s feeling longing. He could get upset anywhere between sad and angry, one or the other, and will usually shut people out just to be alone. He never really acts on longing or at least not powerfully. If eh longing is inaccessible like his mother, he does better mourning alone. Longing is hard for him because he knows he’s supposed to be a strong leader figure and inspire people. Unfortunately he misunderstands longing as a weakness, and he feels it’s something that gets in his way.

Longing doesn’t really hold him back from anything, though he’s convinced it does. As if it gets in the way, even though it interferes with nothing that matters. Because he’s looked up to and people want comfort and help from him, he feels he can’t be the one feeling any longing or needing any help. He struggles that much more with longing because when it happens, it hits much harder from holding it back so much.

If nothing else, he tries to avoid it. It’s an emotion he’d rather not feel, which makes it that much harder to deal with. He struggles with it only in terms of himself, as when it comes to other people it’s okay to him, but when it happens to him he tries to push it aside. It’s complicated and difficult to deal with; especially because he worries if given the opportunity to sate those feelings that he would become selfish and drop anything else.

Overall, it’s just fear and worry that keeps him from allowing those feelings to get through. He’ll shut himself out as best he can from others when he feels it, and he does his best to stay alone until it passes - particularly because longing can lead to breakdowns for him. His mind usually wanders and causes him to think about things that could be different, what ifs, and sometimes thinks he’s to blame for whatever he’s thinking about. He doesn’t handle longing well because it causes feelings he doesn’t know what to do with.

If handled properly by the right person, which would be a pretty small number of people in this case, it’s pretty possible to keep him calm. Sometimes it needs to be waited out, but it really needs to be the people who know him best who can lead him out of those longing thoughts if they get bad. It doesn’t always get that bad, but there are times they can overwhelm him.

Emotions

🎡 AMUSED

Sety is quiet while amused, usually just taking things in and not interrupting. Occasionally he’ll poke at someone in a teasing way, though it’s usually the odd remark and he won’t say much. He finds more merit in short remarks, as if they’re stronger with fewer words. He won’t get out of hand or hurt people intentionally, and he has a more soft amusement. Finding any amusement at all is a bit of a relief for him since he’s usually uptight, though he’s more easy to amuse near close friends.

Feeling amusement at all is a comfort for him. Depending on who it’s happening around, it will also even make him feel safe. He traveled alone for a long time, so being able to joke with people and watch people having fun and joking together keeps him from feeling so on edge all the time.

Emotions

☕ RELAXED

Sety is usually too active and busy on the battlefield or finding information to be relaxed, so he often won’t even look relaxed when he is. Usually he’ll come off as irritable from having a chance to not be doing anything. Instead of relaxed, he’ll usually just be exhausted, and that’s pretty much his relaxed time. He won’t sound irritable if he’s speaking to someone, but he’ll certainly sound tired. Staying busy keeps him from overthinking or becoming exhausted, so relaxing time is usually not even on his radar.

Usually friends or friendly acquaintances will have to drag him along for time to really relax. If too many people are around, he tends to stay quiet and off to the side, but it’s easier to relax if people he gets along with around. If things are too hectic for too long, actually being relaxed is rare for him. You would have better luck trying to get him to sleep, which he also doesn’t do often enough. Sety has a bad habit of thinking many things fall to him to accomplish, and also because he worries if he’s not doing something, his mind will wander to things he doesn’t wish to think about.

His voice will be noticeably softer if he’s ever actually truly relaxed, and will be devoid of any commanding or leadership voices. His leader persona is allowed to rest in those times, though he won’t talk often if he doesn’t need to. Sety isn’t used to anything considered fun and used to being cheerful, so being truly relaxed comes rarely for him. After his father left home, everything related to the country fell to him when he was too young to really handle it all, and since then it’s become pretty much ingrained into him to continue acting that way. In part, it’s why he may become irritable instead of relaxed, as he feels he should be doing something and not merely sitting around.

☘

Emotions

☘ HOPEFUL

Sety is very quiet when he’s hopeful. He prefers not to let on that he’s hopeful, as he feels the moment it’s out in the world it will just shatter. Because he prefers to be a realist about things and doesn’t look toward any kind nof hope or idealism for answers, he doesn’t like admitting when he actually feels hopeful. It’s a natural feeling that can happen when it’s something going in a direction he wants, but he tries to push the feeling down.

He also fears the feeling of hope being extinguished. Not feeling it at all is better for him than starting to expect something from hope growing too strong and then that feeling being ripped away. He had been hopeful in the past that his mother would survive after he’d left home and that had failed him, and it’s become more of a fear than anything now. Hope can make you believe in improbable things, and he would rather face something with logic than feeling.

He kind of categorizes hope as a sentiment not unlike ideals in general. There are times he considers it a burden and prevents rational thinking, and because Sety has only ever known war in his life, he finds the concept of trust and hope in other people to be foreign. There are different kinds and levels of hope, and he finds it rather complicated to keep up with all the different perceptions of what hope is to each person.

Things like hoping the war will end soon might cross his mind sometimes, but he prefers to think about the present and the fact that it doesn’t matter when it ends so long as it’s still going on. Usually, he finds that hope can make a person weak and vulnerable, and he prefers not to be either - ever, if possible. When he ever is, he regrets it later in some manner. To him, being hopeful invites mistakes, and mistakes could cost someone’s life if not his own in wartime.

[bloodofthewind-blog]

Unfamiliar as Archanea was to him by land, he had traveled for so long that foreign places were oddly natural to him. Archanea seemed to be in need of healing assistance against dark magic, and one of their knights had requested outside aid. It seemed to be a lot for the Archaneans to handle, but the names of Gharnef and Medeus had come up in the details of the requested help. Sety’s knowledge on other lands was lacking, but his overall understanding of dark magic was not.

This place was across the sea, which likely meant overall, things were at least similar regarding magic and such. It shouldn’t have been too difficult to figure out, and with the details Sety had studied not long ago, if all the things from Darna truly had such a strong connection to Archanea, it would make things even easier to figure out. While he didn’t know for certain how much the magic and dark magic differed across the lands, the one certain thing was that everywhere, it seemed to have terrible side effects to the users and receivers.

Upon arrival, Sety had found a guard to ask for the location of the person who had been in charge of all of this who went by the name of Belf. Once directed, there was at least some relief in seeing this person seemed to truly know what he was doing and that whatever battle had led to this was not a reckless one that resulted in this much disaster. There was understandably more than one person could keep up with and direct while trying to assist in it himself.

“Are you Belf? Aid was requested for medical assistance here. The details involved dark magic which I am more familiar with than most if not all people people I know. I’m here to help with the medical treatment. My name is Sety.”

Maybe that battle wasn’t such a good idea.

As expected, he won. If any of those guys got away though, he hadn’t noticed. It left him paranoid, not knowing if any had escaped. He was better at this before... He felt slowed down since the war ended, and he knew it wasn’t because “peace” had arrived and he’d been fighting less. All that fighting had caught up to him. All that dark magic had caught up to him. He hissed lightly at the wound he’d taken on his arm.

Finally he sighed, resting his back against the wall of an unknown building. It had been his choice to follow the remaining enemies they’d had from the war, and he knew he really had no excuse - this had been his own fault for going alone.

After a moment of waiting and silence, just waiting long enough for some of the throbbing pain to lessen, he felt the presence of another person near, eventually becoming the sound of movement. A barely audible groan left him, his hand moving to his tome. He truly did always have terrible luck with these things.

What type of clothes does your character like to wear?

It depends where he is. Particularly in Silesia, he wears Silesian clothing, but outside of it he tends to either wear clothing to properly hide his identity or to fit in with the area he’s in (also usually attached to the previous statement).

Most times he wears full clothing out of habit because he does so in Silesia, as it’s the coldest country. He also wears things based on his role at the time. During his time with the Magi, he wore clothing that portrayed him as more professional to fit his role as their leader. When he’s no longer in an immediately leader position, he comfortable defaults back to his normal SIlesian clothing.

He has a variety of Silesian based clothing, going from royal clothing specifically for his family or normal mage clothing for Silesians. If he’s trying not to stand out but him coming from Silesia is not dangerous or important or anything, he’ll likely be wearing the normal mage clothing.

His preferred dress style is Silesian as it’s what he grew up with. It feels more him and reminds him of home. While he does like the overall style of the clothing he wears in Manster, he feels more himself and more at home in Silesian style clothing. A big part of that is the detail in the clothing and the effort Silesian tailors put into making their clothing unique and very noticeably home to their country. The pride of their country is in the clothing, and it’s a big part of his preference.

restorationprincess:

A prince. That was the last thing Eirika had expected, but she supposed she had to admire a prince who would fight for the common people. She’d always admired that about Ephraim and Innes (and Joshua…eventually). 

She hadn’t expected him to ask for a reward, either, but she didn’t press, now knowing that there probably wasn’t anything he really needed that he couldn’t get with his own funds. 

“Of course,” she said in answer to his advice. “I must keep Renais safe however possible.” 

But to leave Sety now that their work was done, alone again to keep fighting those horrible people, even if that was what he seemed to prefer…it sat poorly with her. 

“I should see to the captives that we saved, but…if you find yourself overwhelmed, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Grado’s mages are involved in this as well, so it’s my fight and my responsibility, too. I’d like to help however I can, even if it’s from afar.”

“I should find out what the men from Grado know. It’s dangerous if they’ve been in contact with the Lopt Sect. I’ll find out what I can about them and get back to you.” Perhaps it would be possible to be overwhelmed, but it would take a lot. Having to deal with that wasn’t exactly something he had planned. He had done it in the past, and many times. He had fought those people on his own with little thought about it, sure enough of his power.

It didn’t seem to be that overwhelming until after the fact. During the battle was always fine. He knew how to handle things after all this time and had been able to fend them off at so many turns. Afterward? Afterward... That was another matter. It wasn’t just mental exhaustion anymore. Even now, he would continue to tell people it was fine. His body would tell him one thing, and he would tell others another thing.

Maybe he did need the help. It was true, he could do it himself while he fought. If it still caused an after effect, shouldn’t he have gone with her offer? If he thought back tot he other leader he’d known and had met during the war, they would have certainly accept the help, wouldn’t they? Something always pushed at him though - told him not to accept it. It was a burden for those people. They should be keeping their own forces. It wasn’t pride. It didn’t sting and make him feel less than he was to accept help.

‘Sety the Hero’. That was it. People thought of him so highly. If he took those people with him battle, the people he was supposedly some hero for would die. Who was he protecting if they died? It was why he had shot the comments down at every turn. People had died. He could kill, but he couldn’t save. He could stop their enemies, but that was the big picture. What happened in the meantime was just as important, and he wasn’t always capable of that.

“If the captives need anything - food, clothing, or housing - I’ll help you in assisting them. I’ll return when I have information and ask to see you then. I’ll search along Grado or Jehanna. Jehanna is a desert... and those men lived in one such place where they and I came from. Even more reason to dislike trying to gather information on them... Growing up in a cold, snowy land just makes my work harder now, I suppose.”
