Who's more physically affectionate, Turkash or Ülkan? More likely to do grand romantic gestures? More gifty?

Turkash is definitely the more cuddly of the two. Ülkan hasn’t really been in a relationship that cuddly before, but he’s having fun getting used to it. Touch starved repressed bastard.

Ülkan likes planning intricate, special dates. Turkash is never not baking special treats for Ülkan.

What are Turkash's and Ülkan's alcohol preferences and tolerance levels? Has one ever had to deal with the drunken antics 9f another?

Turkash will drink anything you put in front of him, and he will drink it to completion. It’s a matter of personal pride for him. This tends to cause a lot of problems, because while his tolerance is high, his Sigma friends are assholes and continually keep putting drinks in front of him. He’s always just a few drinks away from starting either a dance party or a friendly brawl, though he’s also been known to start a drunken picket line if someone shows him the wrong news article a few drinks in. (He gives his best speeches when he and his audience are both drunk.) His personal favorites are anything with a lot of fruit and vodka.

Ülkan, ever the farm boy, is physically incapable of turning down a good lager, though he’ll settle for an ale if it’s all that’s around. He’s always got a beer in hand at parties, but he rarely gets drunk, usually only drinking a few. He stays mostly sober so he can take care of more hammered Epsilons. When he does drink to get drunk, though, he gets flirty, which gets him in trouble. (That’s how he and Turkash meet before the first President’s Fight 😎😎😎😎)

As rare as it is for Ülkan to get drunk, there was one legendary night when the Epsilons peer pressured him into the most beautifully executed keg stand they’d ever seen. He has no memory of this.

What's Turkash's favorite food and why? Ülkan's?

Turkash’s favorite real food is his momma’s spicy pork dumplings. His favorite candy is honey wasabi suckers he makes himself. Ülkan likes roasted wyrm tail. He has to chase a lot of wyrms away from crops at the farms he works on and sometimes he sets snares out to catch them.

Ok, we know about Turkash and his momma, but does Ülkan have any family? Bc I have this image of a sister in my head chasing Turkash around on campus like "no dating my brother!" and Turkash is too busy running for his life to correct her

!!!!! Okay so, since Ülkan was originally my boyfriend @artistsammuelkuykendall ‘s character whom he gave to me, I asked for his input and here’s what we came up with.

Ülkan has a younger brother named Taelin. Taelin is half storm giant, so he’s eleven feet tall, which makes finding clothing really difficult, and finding a functional chest binder even more so. So what do you do?

Well, if you’re Taelin, you say “fuck this” and start learning how to make your own clothing. They start pretty simple: muslin and mesh binders, grey linen tunics, whatever dyes he could afford on a meager wage in the Underdark. But he gets good, and people start asking him to make clothes, and they’re willing to pay. He’s able to afford better dye in more colors, blues and purples, and he can experiment more with different patterns. He gets better and better, selling clothes at the marketplace, until he makes enough money to move himself and Ülkan above ground.

The modest fortune Taelin had made in the Underdark paled in comparison to the fame he found above ground. He makes enough for a storefront, and then a fashion line. He makes enough to send his big brother to college.

When he visits Ülkan at Epsilon Tau, he watches him stop his excited bound towards him to flip off Turkash, who had been dancing on the Sigma lawn wearing a pride flag as a cape. He watched Turkash wave and flip the bird back, and watched his brother resume the running start he’d taken for this tackle hug, and thought, “Oh, this is going to be hilarious.”

The next day, he “accidentally” walked to the wrong house and was met by a very helpful Turkash. (“No, I totally get it. It’s a super easy mistake to make, except the Epsilon house is trash.”) That’s when he starts working with the Epsilons to get them together.
