You've been visited by the random OC question fairy! :D ~☆
Who does your character look up to? If your character had to have a specific role model, who would it be?
// I missed this for a long while, I’m sorry random OC question fairy. Janijaire realistically wouldn’t be able to tell a role model from a hole in the ground. He’s only had two good influences in his (younger) life that meant well and while they both did their best, they were both very biased due to their own upbringings and backgrounds.
Nowadays, he doesn’t so much look up to but tries to make himself better through the influence multiple people have on him:
Kowa: ( @astrolevitation ) Has taught him to take a hard line and not simply go with whatever may come his way. She’s been the one over time to help him with a lot of his previous trauma and make him understand that he still has a life to live and it’s in his hands to do with it as he chooses. She is also probably the only person in existence to know the extent of his addictions and instead of judging him for it instead makes sure he is taking whatever he may in a smart way instead of caving to recklessness. On top of all that, she is his mentor in his Astrologian studies and helps him understand the powers he has and pushes him just enough to constantly improve. Without a doubt, she is his closest friend and he takes many, many cues from her overall. Lore: ( @sharlayanwanderer ) Has taught and continues to teach him the brighter side of things and more than anything that his existence is not a burden, which is something he struggles with. Janijaire tends to lean towards a pessimistic view and there is no one else than can snap him out of it and into something more positive than Lore. His outlook on life overall is what attracted Jani to him at the start and never fails to make him fall just a little bit more in love with him. Xiaohu: ( @thanidiel ) Keeps him on his toes at nearly every turn. However clever he might be, she is at minimum five steps ahead of anything he could even possibly say and as such he really doesn’t even try. He admires her greatly not only for her wit but also her experience and intelligence. He isn’t willing to verbally spar with her, but he loves to observe when she and someone else go head to head. Vander: ( @atomicdeke ) Has taught him levity; to not take himself quite so seriously and really, have fun. He knows the exact time to be serious and when to joke and Janijaire admires his ability to tell the difference quite a bit. He also has a good deal of respect for Vander over the mans abilities in his regard to spirits: he doesn’t understand it, wholly, but there’s no one else he’d trust more in the matters of the supernatural. Nearly everyone Jani interacts with has an effect in one way or another, but those are the folks I can think of just now!
