@thewolfisawake || Questions for Immortals/Ancients || Not Accepting
👥Have you met others like you?
"Phoenixes? I don't see any around often, or more like almost never to be more accurate! Of course, I've probably seen plenty over the years, but I can't remember it," he laughed a little, with a tinge of awkwardness. "I only remember meeting one, earlier on in this lifetime. I was pretty grateful to meet someone like me, but they, ah, ended up forgetting me not long after."
🕗In your time, what has been one of the most interesting time periods?
"This lifetime has been going on for thirty, almost forty years? That's probably not all that impressive a span of time. From it though, I'd say moving from the early 2000's to the 2010's would be what I'd say was the most interesting. So much changed! I'm not all that good with technology, which I think made watching it take leaps and bounds all the more fun!"
🤠Have you ever disguised yourself or gone by different names?
"Like as an alias or a disguise? No, I've never had any reason to."
1. In one life, Amara somehow fell in with a band of mercenaries despite his, well known by you and me, usual lack of skill with weapons. But he could cook! And he could do chores! And for a band of essentially olden times frat boys, that was all they needed, his genuine charm and friendly demeanor was just the cherry on top. He became something of a den mother to the group, fixing up food whenever they returned from a job well done and sitting around the campfire joking with them as he did his best to help wrap up any injuries they'd gotten. They of course didn't know that Amara wasn't human, and he did his best to keep it that way too out of a desire to keep things simple between him and his group of friends-- the life he had wandered through the years prior had been a lonely one and he couldn't bear to risk losing it to suspicious and fearful gazes.
There was one young man in particular that Amara enjoyed the company of, one who was also good-natured and with an easy smile of his own. They often ended up alone talking about things of the future, or of their past (as much as Amara could disclose that is). The boy came from a loving family who he sent his earnings back to, and though he worked as a sellsword to earn money, he had ambitions and hopes for the future. A romance soon sparked between them when the other man kissed Amara. Amara felt conflicted about not disclosing his phoenix nature to his love, but felt that it was for the best.
And when a job went sour and the danger followed the troupe back to camp to ambush them, Amara also felt it was for the best to jump in front of the sword aimed for his lover’s back. After all, his love had a family waiting for him to return home to, he had no one. It made sense, didn’t it? And it made sense to Amara as he lay bleeding out in the sobbing man’s arms, to once again keep the truth of what he was a secret from him, because maybe it would be for the best if the man moved on and found someone else he could actually spend his life with. It would be Amara’s last gift to him.
And then he woke up in a shallow grave, scorch marks marring the dirt around him as he clawed his way out to find himself near the remains of some campsite. He was confused to find a wilted bouquet of wildflowers at his feet, and even more confused to find an identical grave next to his.
Something told him not to disturb it.
2. In another life, Amara ended up settled as the scribe in a small European town transcribing bits of poetry or stories. In this life, he found himself accompanied by a small boy with no parents of his own that Amara somehow ended up taking in. Their life was peaceful and idyllic, and the boy to be a fine young son that Amara couldn’t be more proud of. Eventually, of course, as the years wore on, whispers began to spread about the oddity of their resident foreigner with bright red hair and brown skin, of how he didn’t age and remained as youthful as ever. Even to the point that his ward, who he took in as a small boy, now looked as if they could be the same age.
They began to murmur of wickedness and witchcraft, which wouldn’t have bothered Amara had it not been for the fact that his son also became a target of such rumors. And not only that, but the fact of the boy’s aging finally hit Amara the day he greeted him and realized his son, once barely able to reach his knee, not stood taller than him-- a man. And one on the cusp of finally marrying the girl he fancied and creating a family of his own.
Amara knew what the best decision would be for the sake of allowing his son to have a peaceful life unencumbered by his adoptive father’s own oddities, and truthfully...the sudden, painful fear of outliving his own child, of watching the boy grow old and gray, was heartrending. Amara took the boy aside one night and decided to tell him the truth, or the parts of it that would be the easiest to understand, before assuring him that he would always love him before bidding him goodbye. That night Amara left the idyllic town, and his child, behind forever, and he could not left himself look back.
3. In some other life at some other place and time, Amara was completely alone. He didn’t know why, but something in him shook at the thought of falling in with others, or of making friends. And so he wandered from place to place, always friendly and kind to others but never allowing more than that to blossom. He never remained in a town long before he took off again into the wilderness with only his thoughts and the sounds of nature as his company for each pass of the seasons. He lived for many decades like that, always keeping others at an arms-length and never with a friend to call his own.
He made money where he would, slept wherever was comfortable, be it an inn by the side of the road or a soft bit of grass beneath the night sky. Many he came across made the suggestion to travel together, always eager to have a companion so good-natured and friendly for what would no doubt be a weary journey, but Amara always turned them down.
And many decades later, when Amara was all alone with nothing but the birds singing above to keep him company even as he took his last, rattling breaths, he somehow instinctually knew that despite the length of the life he had managed to last this cycle...

Once upon a time I wrote down the accents my muses had just to let it be known since otherwise it’d be hard to actually know and I hadn’t updated it in forever. So here it is, this one I mainly just changed some things I had previously been puzzling out (and had to swap out William for Thanatos entirely). The second part will have the new content with the muses that came after my first original post.
Being the bilingual, second generational boy that he is, Ven only has a proper Italian accent whenever he’s speaking the language. Otherwise, when speaking English he has your basic American English accent.
Jianhuren most certainly has a strong Chinese accent since they’ve only been here for a few years. The dialect specifically is the Mandarin dialect, the largest spoken one.
Somnio has a light French accent. For someone with no past memories or clues it’s...the only clue that he has and not much of one at that.
His mom and dad, being Greek and Egyptian respectively, have their own accents. However, due to having spent his childhood growing up in a small, rural part of Greece and visiting the nearby town, a Greek accent is what predominantly pulled through with Amara’s way of speaking.
Although the body that he inhabits once spoke with an Irish accent, Thanatos’ true Greek accent now comes through as he is the sole occupant and sees no reason to alter or hide it.
The Delacroix family was situated in France and, save for business trips and all, that’s where Arata grew up. Even though he’s no longer living in the country, the French accent is still going strong. (When using his powers, he doesn’t have an accent. Honestly, he could speak without his native French accent if he wanted to but he chooses to keep it.)
Both Katarina and Emil, when speaking English, speak with only a slight accent due to the emphasis placed on speaking and pronunciation when they were learning it. Likewise, they can understand Norwegian a bit and some of Danish due to being sister languages (Danish takes some concentration for them to get though). Likewise, Katarina knows German, French, and Spanish and Emil knows German and French since it is usual to learn an extra language or two on top of English (and those are the most learned ones (and Katarina is an overachiever). Unlike with English, their accents are noticeable when speaking German, French, and Spanish.
