could we know more about fwhips role in bitterwater?
yes of course! hes not very relevant as of now as hes a character form Gem's backstory. (there was another ask asking about him in an animatic i made so im going to include it here)
now, this might just become a backstory and wordlbuilding info dump but oh well. The bitterwater au world is mostly inspired by the Empires Smp but its with less cool magic and its more paranormal "the ocean is hunted" type magic. (Im going to make a post just with the worldbuilding in a little bit)
Gem and Fwhip are the twin childrens of the Count of the Grimlands, they did have an happy childhood and teenage years together, mostly caraterized by studying together in the library and sneaking away from their tutors to spy on the blacksmiths or the scolars of the Crystal Cliffs. That changed in their adulthood. Fwhip was always regarded as the Heir to the Grimlands, he had always been smart and more inclined to keep on with the inventions of the blacksmiths under their patronage, and that was fine! Gem was more then fine with that. She wanted to be a scolar of the Cliffs, to explore and study new places.. but their parents had a different idea. they wanted to have her married to the Heir of a neighboring more powerfull kingdom. Gem didnt like that at all, thats why she ran away. (She eventually ended up cutting her hair and embarching on a merchant vassel from the Ocean Kingdom where she made a new family for herself and the rest is history .. or did she? she can't quite remember.)
anyway this is them now! they havent seen each others in years at this point and a reunion would be very awkward. i wonder if he could even reconize his own sister.
