@marionmaverick is an independent role play blog for an original teenaged Warrior of Light and his Azem verse. Give it a follow if you’d like to interact!

[marionmaverick]

In the Three Main WoL's verse I think Calem doesn't start becoming the central one in the first Expansion. That's Eryn. Especially the post Game Calem is actually either running Crystal Tower as the main WoL or the Hildebrand Quests, while Marion is helping a secondary at the tower and than helping Alisae with the Bahamut dungeons. They come in to help fight Primals, but up 'til the betrayal Eryn is the one dealing with the MSQ. Because I think with his backstory if Calem was there he'd strangle Alphinaud and probably never let it get as far as it did.

[marionmaverick]

Re-writing my blog I think. Going to have all three WoL's exist as the WoL in the same universe, but Calem is the Azem, Marion a lesser Scion and WoL that will eventually join Cid's Group, and Eryn as a more "boyscout Face" of the scions who starts pulling back more into a political role after Heavensward, eventually choosing to help his mother with Reform in Garlean (He is half garlean, mother a former Garlean politician)

What is your WoL's reaction when the Doomtrain sprouts arms?

What would your wol(oc) do if they got a second chance?

Calem reached over to one of the swirling, apparently decorative, curls along the side of the Harp-Bow and pulled. A seemingly invisible seem appeared as a small tin-whistle style flute was released.

Calem took it in his mouth and played a few quick notes, before quietly slipping the flute back into it's sheathe, where it immediately disappeared.

"Bardic bows are rather ridiculous things"

[darlingdesiredelicious]

Sebastian gasped and continued to marvel. "They are..."

Then, he sighed. "How can you not think you're pretty when you're quite possibly the most handsome and charming man I've ever met? I'd say you always take my breath away, if I weren't dead."

[marionmaverick]

Calem snorted at Sebastian's rather silly proclamation. He enjoyed something more light-hearted.

"I suppose someone beat me to it. But again, you've not seen many Miqo'te," He said. "I'm rather. Rugged. As examples of my race go."

[darlingdesiredelicious]

"I'm not... pretty enough to be a bard, am I? Not that bards have to be pretty, but... it helps, doesn't it?"

[marionmaverick]

“I think you’re pretty,” Calem laughed. “Besides, i’m hardly pretty and started as a bard. Admittedly it’s just tied to advanced archery techniques in my own world.”

[darlingdesiredelicious]

"You are the prettiest!" Sebastian insisted.

"Bards are... archers in your world? That's strange..."

[marionmaverick]

Calem rolls his eyes. "You've not seen many Miqo'te if you think I'm a pretty one." He smiles at Sebastian's surprise over the oddly combined jobs. Not mentioning that it's considered rather strange in his own world before the fellow that created it started doing so. Instead he just pulls out his boy and flicks a switch, and then the enchantment causes it to twirl around and become a perfectly tuned harp. "There's a little tin flute stuck in there too"

[darlingdesiredelicious]

"Wh... What?" Sebastian just stared at Calem's odd little magic trick. "A flute stuck in where? Huh?" He tilted his head, examining the harp.

How long can your wol(oc) go without sleep before they crash?

L’calem tia’s name is pronounced sharply , like “il- kai-um” or just “kai-um” if shorted. It’s referencing lucis caelum slightly and il just sounds better then lu to me.

[agent-jaselin]

Calem blushed and ducked his head to hide in Sebastian's side.

"Now what have I said about overdoing the praise," He grumbled half-hartedly.

[darlingdesiredelicious]

"Not to?" He laughed. "It's hard to hold back... I just- Well..."

"I love you."

[marionmaverick]

"You're an incurable romantic," Calem grumbled again, "I suppose I will have to make do."

He gave him another little kiss and laid against him.

[marionmaverick]

Calem chuffs a little at the praise, even for just being a blood bag. He does enjoy when people like to see him.

“Of course, not many vampires get access to a pretty space alien like myself.” One arm snakes up around the tall vampire’s waist.

[darlingdesiredelicious]

"The prettiest." Sebastian kissed him. "But you're more than that. You're strong. You're brave. You're talented. You..."

"You make me so happy, Calem. You make me feel safe. I haven't felt safe in a very, very, very long time."

[agent-jaselin]

Calem blushed and ducked his head to hide in Sebastian's side.

"Now what have I said about overdoing the praise," He grumbled half-hartedly.

Everything burns could be calem’s theme song oop

[darlingdesiredelicious]

"I drank blood today, and didn't cry once. Please be proud of me..."

[marionmaverick]

“Good Job little hunter.” Calem purrs.

[darlingdesiredelicious]

"Calem." He smiled and leaned against him. "I love your voice."

"Don't worry... Even if I find other sources of blood, I won't forget you. I can't."

forced immortality is a fun trope. unappreciated. someone/something wants you to remain so it makes you. it will not let you die
