Some wonderful questions from @lycanandproud thank you very much these were so fun to answer!! 

Was Athereon aware of his second form?

He was, but he wasn’t so much aware of his triggers, so he thought that it would be better not to tell the party that he sometimes changes in to a green and white rage monster. 

Is he now dating the mage? Is that a thing that’s happening? :D

Athereon + Marcus = otp. 

How much better do you feel about future combat, knowing you’re much less likely to die now?

So much better!! It’s a relief to know that I can actually fight with the team, even though Athereon is still highly self preservationist, it’s nice to know that if he’s needed he can do something other than run away. 

Does Athereon keep in touch with his family during his travels?

No, Athereon and his father don’t get on and his mother died before the quest began. He has three younger brothers, but doesn’t try to contact them knowing his father would read everything he’d send. 

What’s your favorite thing about your character?

I love how he’s growing, he started off fairly sort of bland and one dimensional in my head, but now he’s becoming a fully fledged realistic character with a set direction in my head. (I also love how powerful is fae form is omg). 

Thanks again, -Alex 

Ask me more!!! I love talking about Athereon!!

Another wonderful question from @lycanandproud

What's Athereon up to atm? Running a b&b with his bf and his bff? What's his day to day life now?

Since Esri wanted to find more out about his parents, Athereon set up the inn on his own. He rescued his brothers from his father, and they live with him at the inn so a lot of his day is taken up in taking care of them (he loves it though) and running an inn is not easy. He and Marcus are taking things slow and easy, they are both very happy with how things are going; Marcus settled in Point Pleasant, and often visits the Inn. Athereon can’t wait until Esri gets back from his adventure so that they can run the inn together properly. In short he’s living his best life, especially with access to the royal library, he’s a happy dude.

More questions from @lycanandproud (thank you!!) 

How are Athereon’s wildlife survival skills? Especially the hunting and cooking(we know he’s good at picking mushrooms).

Athereon has been surviving in Point Pleasant alone since the age of about fourteen, that’s six years worth of scavenging and cooking for himself so I think his skills are pretty good considering he’s only 20!

What kind of education does Athereon have?

Athereon is completely self-taught, he taught himself how to read and write and speak every language he knows. His parents didn’t care about his education because his father was a douche and didn’t bother to educate him. He’s a pretty smart cookie.

What kind of things does he usually dream about? Can be daydreams or dreams he has at night.

Athereon doesn’t dream when he’s asleep, or if he does he does not remember them when he wakes up. He daydreams about what life would have been like if his mother hadn’t died, if his father had been kind and loving, if he hadn’t left home when he did. He daydreams about finding a teacher, someone who has magic that can instruct him make him more powerful. He dreams of the day he finally has a comfortable life, for the day he doesn’t worry about the fact he has no food. Yeah, he’s had a shitty life. 

Thank you!! -Alex

Which of the Seven Deadly Sins best personifies Athereon?

I’m going to go with envy, he wants what other people have. He wants to gain power, wealth, a name for himself etc. Though I don’t think he’s that bad of a person!

Thanks for asking!! This was a great question! Ask me more to distract me from this lecture on aDNA.

Hi Alex! How ya doing? How much freedom does Benjy give you in terms of character development? If Athereon had a college AU, what would his major/degree be? What is your favourite spell that Athereon currently has? When you're in game, is it hard to remember everything that your character can do?

Hello there!! I’m doing okay, just drowning in dissertation stuff right now so many books on Roman Social History… but I digress…

How much freedom does Benjy give you in terms of character development?

Benjy actually gives us a lot of freedom, he’s also only a message away at all times (seriously he’s so great). Most of the time, there’s no real problem with whatever direction we want to take our characters, but if there is it’ll be a case of “no don’t do that, you’ll over power yourself”. Which is definitely the risk with Athereon being that he’s a sorcerer and has a very powerful fae form. 

If Athereon had a college AU, what would his major/degree be?

This is such a good question omg, honestly Athereon’s personality is a hyped up version of mine, with a bit more selfishness thrown in, so I reckon it’d be Archaeology like me, or maybe Poli Sci with History. 

What is your favourite spell that Athereon currently has? 

I love Haunted Fae Aspect, but also there’re a couple that I can do now that are super cool. But yeah Haunted Fae Aspect is awesome.

When you’re in game, is it hard to remember everything that your character can do?

I honestly don’t know anything Athereon can do without checking first, which is why I always take a while to answer things. As I become more familiar with the game and how it works, I am finding things a little easier. 

Thank you for your wonderful questions!! -Alex

ask me more so I have an excuse to procrastinate the horrid amount of reading I have
