I've been having weird dreams lately which has apparently expanded to include a dreamed tumblr dash and the only thing I remember was a post from you saying "what's up guys I haven't slept in over 48 hours so I drew Chyrus as a doughnut"

Sadly I do not recall what that actually looked like

Yeah sure I'll draw that

Kyrians don't have tattoos for cultural reasons.

But if they did Chyrus would have a Sundancer with a bong tattoo on his shoulder that he'd be embarrassed about. He got it as a disciple and he'd never let anyone see it.

There is a moment where the Paragon of Pride goes too far and that's with Voitha.

Chyrus can take shit being thrown at him any day of the week. He's the Paragon he knows he's literally the best. But blaming Voitha for Chyrus' mistakes is not it.

See Chyrus is pretty aloof and forgetful. He forgets stuff all the time. Voitha is a saint in that regards that she always remembers for him. But she's also only one person who can also forget.

Chyrus' often forgets to charge Compassion. Especially with the anima drought. Voitha as well knew to only charge the Sword occasionally. But she eventually forgot. Thus when the Forsworn attacked Humility, Chyrus went to defend his temple with his sword on like 20%. Eventually it ran out of Anima and he discarded it to face Lysonia.

Voitha blamed herself for that. If she'd remembered to charge Compassion, Chyrus wouldn't have been tortured and nearly killed. Chyrus would have told her that this isn't her fault. Remembering things for him isn't part of her duties. Pride had other ideas.

He tore into Voitha something harsh. Telling her 'She was an idiot who nearly got (me) him killed. That she should be ashamed of herself because (I) Chyrus elevated you to this position yet you're a thankless halfwit who scorns those better at her because she's an arrogant little thing thinking she's something.'

That hurt hard because while she knew Chyrus would never say that. She knew Pride was a part of him. So it almost felt as if he had.

Drawing him mad actually felt kinda illegal.

The Temple of Humility especially Chyrus has a compilation of 'Stuff Aspirants have Cried About'. It's of course anonymous so the Aspirant isn't embarrassed when they actually get their head around everything and released from Kyrian daycare.

This time is very stressful for Kyrian Aspirants, they don't understand how Bastion works, or how their bodies work, or the language. They are basically as independent as toddlers.

Examples include:

"I wouldn't let them drown themselves."

"They kept pulling on my feathers so I let them pull out one that was a molt. They then started crying because they thought I was dying."

"They had to go for a nap."

"The food today was different than yesterday."

"They had to eat with their mouth."

"I'm not sure, one just looked at me and started crying, I handed them to Voitha and immediately stopped. Looked at me and started crying again."

Hiiiiiii

For Chyrus and Adrestes:

When's the last time your OC hurt someone emotionally? What did they do?

What does your OC's love interest dislike about them?

Have there been any horrible consequences to well-intentioned choices your OC made? How did they cope with that?

Chryus and Adrestes

When's the last time your OC hurt someone emotionally? What did they do?

For Chyrus the last time he hurt someone emotionally was Adonias. Honestly he really tried to be as nice as he could about the situation. But Adonias just was not ment for the Temple of Humility. Chyrus would not be representing his virtue if he wasn't trying to help Adonias be the best he could be.

Unfortunately Adonias didn't see it that way. He saw it as a failure. Chryus did get him transferred to another Temple.

For Adrestes it was Leonidus. I think trying to kill someone to the point they wet themselves a little begging for their life. Especially someone who looked up to you and had not done anything to you? It did cause Adrestes to snap out of his own paranoia. And he is deeply sorry for what he did to Leo.

He did also hurt Thenios but that wasn't his fault. He was under the Archons orders and Thenios did shoot the messenger when it came to Adrestes not allowing him to see Devos.

What does your OC's love interest dislike about them?

For Chyrus to put it nicely, sometimes he wants to call Adrestes a fucking asshole. He holds his tongue. As the Paragon of Humility he is supposed to help Kyrian learn their mistakes. But sometimes Adrestes is a bit too prideful of the Kyrian. Sometimes he looks down on people, including Chyrus. Chyrus isn't stupid but he knows Adrestes thinks he is. He knows Adrestes looks down on Humility until he needs it. Yes Aspirant Care is not the most lavish duty but you'd be complaining if there were no aspirants who could read.

For Adrestes, it's the fact that sometimes Chyrus takes jokes too far. For example Bong Dancer. Adrestes was terrified Chyrus didn't get how stigmatized tattoos are. And when Chyrus said it's fine Adrestes felt extremely brushed off. Chyrus loves being funny he loves trying to bring a chill vibe to things. But this can rub on Adrestes because 'this is serious it's not funny. '

Have there been any horrible consequences to well-intentioned choices your OC made? How did they cope with that?

For Chyrus it was Adonias. He didn't know that Devos was leading the Forsworn. He genuinely thought he was helping Adonias have a better life in Bastion. Adrestes even approved of Adonias becoming a Sentinel.

But Devos managed to doom Adonias. Helped amplify his ideas that Bastion wasn't fair and he was being punished for his personality.

Lysonia only encouraged Adonias more and when given the chance Adonias was pretty happy to torture Chyrus, with the intent as to death. This path ultimately lead to Adonias' own death.

Chyrus does partly blame himself for Adonias and also Fotima who was killed by Adonias. But he knows there's nothing he can do but honour their memories.

For Adrestes he really upsets Chryus in Lessons of Humility he tries to comfort him. But Adrestes does not have a medical background. He doesn't know how to drop harsh news gently. So he hits Chyrus with a double whammy of your arm got eaten and so did Merica. You're paragon now grow up about it. Which isn't what he ment but it came out that way. He was actually scared of Chyrus' for a bit because he'd never seen him loose his temper before. He was avoidant of Chyrus' until Chyrus confronted him.

chyrus!! for the 5 facts

Chyrus

His personal Steward is Giannakis. Giannakis actually fucking hates Adrestes because he thinks he's trying to steal his job and hurt Chyrus. (Stewards do not recognise sex.)

He cannot keep his feathers neat. He's tried all sorts, they just stick out in a permanent bed wing.

People forget he's got a Paragon's strength and just picks up Aspirants with ease. He also puts them in his left arm pit jur to hold them when he needs his hand for something.

Chyrus was actually super sus of Devos the entire time. He didn't know the extent but guessed that the Forsworn had it's hooks in Devos. He even agreed with a few of their points. He's really good at reading people. He tried to give her opportunities to confess, a way out. This is why Devos wanted to convert him to Forsworn not kill him. Lysonia was in different.

He really likes bean mixes. Whenever he needs a side on his food it's usually a bean mix.

People often assume Chyrus isn't one of the best flyers in Bastion even though he teaches flight school. They assume his missing arm throws him off but he's adapted.

They learn how wrong they are when Chryus realises Voitha forgot her hay fever medication in the middle of spring and by the Archon's will he is on a mission to get it to her.
