My husband (gay) said WE are studying for his calculus test.

Why are we calling him gay ?

Why ask questions you have answers to?

The next main POV character: Sybyll

Art has some minor spoilers but i doubt it’s a big deal

What can i say about Sybyll? not much actually, for a lot of her character I have a ‘read and find out’ mentality. She’s the only main POV character to not get a chapter in act 1, so I thought I would list some fun facts.

-The number one observation of her is that she looks uncanny or weird. she looks “pale” or more aptly sickly to them. more on that in a later post

-She actively refuses to talk about herself outside of small snippets

-Her demeanor doesn’t usually break unless she’s antagonizing Arthur or very embarrassed

-She would consider Nova to be the most important person in her life

First up, the main POV character: Nova

I have a lot I could say about her, I don’t think the initial post really did her character much justice.

She never really knew her parents, as they died when she was around 5. This left a vacuum for the throne, as she was not of-age yet. Her aunt and adoptive mother took up the role of queen temporarily despite not being genetically related to her. They have a good relationship though, she changed the color of her card so they would match.

At times she can be seen as dumb or air-headed compared to the others, but it just stems from lack of life experience. She’s incredibly booksmart and fast on her feet, but has never been allowed to leave the capital city before.

If there is one thing she seriously excels at though, it’s combat. Having both great natural ability and capacity for magic, she’s generally the strongest member on any team.

A little bit late, but i finished some simple character portraits of all 4 main characters for crystal shards.

Pictured in order (L -> R) is Nova, Sybyll, Alexander and Arthur. I have a lot more for each one of them, getting their own introductory posts soon. For now though a quick personality overview!!

Nova:

Her card is the Ace of Spades, she’s an optimist even in the worst times, and a huge social butterfly. As the soon-to-be ruler of a big nation she’s got a lot of weight on her shoulders.

Sybyll:

Sybyll’s card is [????], shes more reserved and analytical compared to the others. She’s not willing to talk about her past, so she focuses only on the present and future. For some reason, other than just being her lady in waiting, she’s extremely dedicated to keeping Nova safe.

Alexander:

Alexander is the 10 of Hearts, he disobeyed his father’s wishes for him to become part of the Navy and instead has worked himself into an important job as a junior investigator.

Arthur:

Finally, Arthur’s card is the 4 of Clubs. He’s had a rough life but has found use for himself in his adoptive mother’s research. Underneath the surface he’s actually quite disagreeable and accidentally ends up at odds with others more often than not.

I go to my psych class and I study chemistry. I go to my bio class. Its more chemistry. I go to my chem class... CHEMISTRY. I am a fool who has deluded myself into thinking that there was more to life. Instead, it is basic, it's always been chemistry.

a bit of a ramble into the void, but sometimes it feels like as a trans man people are uncomfortable with me being too masculine? like it’s weird to the people i’m getting to know that i enjoy traditionally masculine things. “Oh weird my brother likes that” when its something popular with men. like yeah. i’m not a masculine woman, i’m a man. not sure what’s so surprising.
