[ /chinhands tell me about Kro's blood family, what's the deal with grandpa, Krory? ]
OOC -Ā Ā alright so iām going to take it as a question to hijack, because I seriously have quite the amount of feels, thoughts, and abundant yelling done about Kroryās family (Ā but if anyone feels like asking the poor guy directly about said family, go for it. i hc it as a very, veryĀ sore subject, tho ). So Iāll make these into separate points because then itās easier to argue about just one. Iām gonna limit myself to three here, becauseā¦ I could write so muchā¦( fun little disclaimer: idk if theyāre meant to be theories or just rambling )
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 1.Ā Kroryās the third in line. He was brought up by his grandfather, with neither mother nor father in sight. Now, considering the era, itās perfectly possible his mom died giving birth, or that his father died of illness or something along those lines, or they were killed off by an Akuma, or you know, any natural cause of death. All of these could be, but then itās kind of fishy we never hear of Crowley the Second.Ā Or well, I believe? Call me paranoid, but this is d-gray.man and I will worry about where that second guy went unless heās proven dead. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 1.5.Ā I could also worry about his mom, but she was given no name nor presence at all, and I honestly find it much weirder to introduce three generations of men from a family, and entirely skip one.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 2.Ā I know itās heavy on hc that Kroryās real name is still Aleister Crowley, because no one in this manga seems to have a name that makes sense, but Aleister itself isnāt really a name, as it should technically be Alister / Alasdair (Ā fun fact that kroryās nameās literally alexander ).Ā Alister is a Scottish name, Crowley is a Gaelic / Irish name,Ā so even taking into account the name Arystar Krory in its entirety and as some weird re-writing of another name, these names arenāt Romanian in the slightest. It could just have been overlooked, but most of the other characters do have names that can be tied to their origins. Hell, even EliadeĀ is a Romanian name. What are the odds grandpa Crowley received these lands in Transylvania? He was said to have traveled a lot, and he did have a noble title. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 2.5Ā This is probably also reading too much into this, but what else is a Scottish and Gaelic name in origins? Campbell.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 3.Ā Sometimes I forget about it, but then I have super nice friends who remind me of it, so Iāll make it the third point: Cross did go out of his way to give the flower to Krory, stating he knew his grandfather.Ā That brings a lot of questions such as, how did Cross know Krory would be an Accommodator? Why, how, when did he encounter Crowley senior? What links did they have? Were they just acquaintances? But then, why would Cross, who clearly has better things to do than remember some old man in a castle in the faraway land of Transylvania, took the time to not only care (Ā or have Allen care )Ā for the plant and then bring it back to the surviving grandson? Feed Innocence to the plant, at that? Let it bite a random lad (Ā that he yeah, somehow guessed would be a good host, since he did warn the villageās mayor about it )Ā before fucking off in the distance without telling the Order about the fact he had found an Accommodator? I mean, yeah, alright, itās Cross, maybe itās normal, every day behavior from him.Ā It sounds unlikely Cross would have lied about knowing Crowley Senior tho, tbh, unless he just wanted money the easy way, but then you can also tie the second point with this one if you feel like it. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 3.5Ā Or you can tie into in a Krory is the heartĀ theory.
Ʀ Languages Krory knows or wishes to learnHis first language is Romanian, without much of a surprise, and the second language he actually learnt wasā¦ Latin, because his grandfather thought it was important. True enough, Transylvania has old Roman / Latin roots, but it mostly proved to be useful to call flowers by their scientific names. He later learnt English, because the plot said so.Krory understands without being effectively fluent in these two languages,Ā Hungarian and Russian, because of the influence of these two countries in Transylvaniaās history (Ā especially in the 19th century ). He is more adept at reading them than he is at speaking them, mostly because he had no one to speak them with back in the days, and so his pronunciation is likely to be slightly off.It is a fact he would greatly love to learn the languages spoken by other members of the unit, to be able to discuss with them in their native languages, kill time on long missions, and just out of the interest for this new knowledge.
(;ā¹āā¹) What scares KrorySince it was answered here, Iāll give an insight of what should more than likely scare him, but doesnāt: Krory is absolutely not scared of dying, of death, of finality. Without saying he would seek death should the occasion present itself, he wouldnāt defy it either, nor would he actively cling to life should he know thereās no hope left for him. Oh, heād put up a fight alright, killing him wonāt be easy at all, but he wouldnāt be frightened by the thought it could end by his downfall. Heāll die standing, and heāll bring these bastards with him on his way down, but dying in itself isnāt a fear he has.This lack of fearĀ can be clearly seen in the way he fights.
(Ā“ļ¼Šļ¼ļ½) What worries KroryThereās no way to give this a good answer, honestly. Everything worries him.Ā Everything. He can and will worry about every single thing. One day, heāll say heās not worried about X thing, and the next day, heāll be worrying himself to the point of tears about aforementioned X thing. Heāll state heās not worried about going to someoneās birthday party and heāll social-anxiety his way through the entire event.Seriously. Heās worried about everything he makes up the other half of the anxiety duo with miranda.
( āoā)äŗŗ(ā-ā ) Friends Krory has or would like to makeHeās hopefully friends with other fellow Exorcists ! Krory is more of an introverted, reserved person than an outwardly friendly, extroverted person, and it can be difficult for him to get (Ā or keep ) in touch with people, yet heās always happy to befriend someone new. Mostly to listen to them or worry about them. His tendency to isolate himself when heās not needed anywhere can make it all the more difficult to try to get a good hold of him and understand what it is heās looking for in potential friends.Anyone who speaks with him and who doesnāt seem to be scared of his vampire-ish looks will gain instant interest from himā¦ and more than likely some form of instant friendship, on a level or another.

Ā Ā Ā Protests were left UNHEEDED even lithe hands pushing his were ignored as she was forced to turn. Her garments already soaked in red --- although her worries were quickly turned to ripped fabric caused by his hands. She held her shirt least she lose all her modesty. UNSPOILEDĀ flesh RUINED--- against soft milky skin there lay torn flesh starting from her shoulder a gash large enough for potential scarring. Blood continuously SEEPED from ripped flesh. Modesty forgotten --- the pain radiating through her form kept her meekness blurred.Ā
I am a journalist why are you always dodging training with your general arystar krory the third
oh no thatās the full name, suffixes and all, someone must be angry
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā Ā Because I huh, rarelyĀ feel like getting, I do not know how to put it into words ? Horribly beheaded in an aimless bloodshed ?Ā Ā ā
DONāTĀ get him wrong, heād be grateful to die, but thatās not how he wants to go. Besides, the General is the kind of person who could go walk a bear, at that. Whatās with those midnight training ?
NO SUCH THING AS BAD PRESS || Accepting !@atletilia
āāMy team? Well as a whole we certainly are an interesting bunch; I would say weāre rather eclectic among the units but all of them are a little weird honestly. Theyāre family though, or as close to one as I figure any of us are gonna get at any rate, so I love em, weird and all. āā
āāMore specifically though Miku is one of my closest friends, we got off to a rocky start because of my big mouth but things evened out. There are some days we still get on each otherās nerves, thatās only human I think, but I know I can always trust Miku to have my back when I need them. āā
āāWeāve got Krory too, fantastic darlin he is. It took a bit to get a read on him, quiet and shy but affectionate as hell. Heās very kind and becomin friends with him was easy, but it hurts a bit too. Itās not hard to see that heās still hurtin from somethin and itās terrible to not be much help to an ailing friend. āā
āāOoh and then thereās Miranda! Sheās an absolute delight, though I will admit I donāt really know her as well as Iād like to yet. You can tell she takes what she does seriously, even if sheās a little hard on herself and puts herself down more than she needs to. I hope in the future I get to know her a little better. āā
āā And General Winters of courseā¦ Frankly he scares me, which I suppose is part of his whole- I guess youād call it methods. I think one of the first thing I heard from his mouth was that heād just save everyone the hassle and kill me himself if I thought I couldnāt handle it. Working under him is hard, frankly I donāt like it, but I have learned more, and Iāve gotten better, so I guess training works and in the end thatās really all that matters in a war, isnāt it? āā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ground unsettledāthe debris impairing her vision as it warped around her fatigue figure, a cough surfaced the palm of her hand hovering over her mound to subdue its noise. Hues darted almost in a frenzy wary as she tried to find any movement through the dust but untrained eyes new little of what to look for.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā His training was harshā(almost inhuman)--- as he held no punches back even for her. A trickle of blood seeped through a small scratch stretching just above her cheekbone. Ā She had avoided most of his attacks appearing more like a frazzled mouse running from a Bengal. She held no grace in her movement in fact she wasnāt even close to striking back at her General.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Shoulders tensed as the air around her began to clear, a strangle of a noise leapt from the bottom of her throat as strong arms encircled her from behind. A muscular arm enclosed around her slender neck as the other held her against a toned chest. There was a struggle from the Exorcist feeble as it did little against his strength. All it did was tighten his hold and the air around her became thin as fear settled in. A final attempt as she lowered herself enough to bare her teeth against his forearmā sharp teeth digging into the leather fabric that protected dark skin.
