The possible future

MY OCS - BRIEF INTRO

there is a city sized university called Gresse on the island nation of Yixa. Gresse is a university committed solely to the study of magic and magi, and they own a gigantic fleet of quite possibly hundreds of thousands of ships that go out to almost every country in the world - countries under the Gresse Concordisse - to pick magi up and take them back to Gresse. No one except the highest higher ups in Gresse themselves know exactly why this is considered necessary. Within the terms of the Gresse Concordisse it is plainly stated that any realised magi withholding themselves from the ships and refusing passage to Gresse is committing a crime against Yixa, as is anyone knowingly harbouring them.

Saal is (secretly. Secretly , secretly) a magi ; a Pathetic one, but one nonetheless. He also just so happens to live in what would likely be classed as the 3rd most anti-magic nation in the world, Ulor. (he has some serious self image issues.)

Ulor is a country that is almost entirely run by various underground thieves guilds that have existed as long as the country itself. They are deeply entrenched in the culture of Ulor. There is no Ulor without the guilds. Despite the lowlives that make up their ranks - known as scaru - and their propensity for drinks, drugs, gambling, whores, fights and cursing, the guilds are perfectly organised and calculated, and spare no sympathy for anyone in the way.

Saal Fera is a scaru belonging to the guild 'Fratera', the guild in charge of the southernmost territories of Ulor. He's pretty much the exact opposite of organised and calculated, and very much in the way. Him being magi and therefore technically a fugitive was enough to make him a massive liability as is - without the extra mess of him then going and accidentally getting a valuable and talented guild brother, a man named Omalivilian, killed on the job. His standing with the guild master Amaria dropping from unfavourable to straight up resentful, Saal is now at risk of being dropped by the guild; even worse, Amaria has threatened to save everyone the trouble and report him to the ships to have him taken away to Gresse if he doesn't seriously make up for what he's done.

The guild is split into groups called divisas, and Divisa three is made up by Saal and his two best friends: Vitra and Divus.

And then there's Livilial, who's a member of guild Fratera who joined after escaping from her home country to Ulor, who has now made it her life's goal to make Saal as miserable as humanly possible even if that means getting him kicked out the guild for good; Omalivilian was her beloved younger brother. However, Livilial and Saal already have a complicated past, meaning her feelings about him are a lot more conflicted that she'd like to admit.

There is plenty of more in depth lore about all of them that I have posted about , but that's the shortest overview I can give I reckon !! now I will put all of the tags

yippee ask game!!

7-What overdone joke does/would Vitra repeat constantly?

12-What does Livilial's laugh sound like?

10-Find/describe a dress that Omalivilian would wear/would suit him

21-Does Divus have any particular mannerisms, gestures or physical habits?

37-Does Saal keep any collections?

:D

12. Probably just absolutely angelic honestly . high-ish pitched , open , but not overly loud . No clapping or accidental snorting or anything , just really pure and simple . Birds fly by and the sun breaks on her face and her teeth sparkle type shit lmfao. Such a shame it's gone forever

10. I looked up yellow sundress with a very specific style in mind and I found it

this is the style of clothing most common for everyone in Brin where he's from; no defined waist , puffs out at the bottom, very short stopping just at the hips . Now just imagine this but with long , flowy sleeves , and that's straight up probably a piece of clothing he wore in Brin that he brought with him to Ulor .

21. He has quite a few ! He tries to cover his mouth when he smiles or laughs to hide the missing tooth . He often runs his fingers over the scarring on his face . When he's in fancy dress to pose as someone of import to get in somewhere , he puffs out his chest and lifts his head up high, and speaks with a fake affluent accent . When he's in normal mode , he slouches a lot more and speaks rougher. He probably also touches his hair a lot, making sure everything is in place. He's more than a little superstitious, so he does the Izuban ward against evil when he's nervous or in danger on instinct (which is closing your eyes, making a ✌️shape with your hand and quickly tapping your eyelids with those fingers .)

37. He actually does kinda ! He makes little statues to the god Vavahn (either using conventional means or magic) and keeps them all in his little secret fane .

Thank you for the ask !!

Who does Divus believe his parents to be ? What does he think they do /did?

OOO good one !! Okay so he has spent MUCH of his life trying to figure out who they might be and where they are (and why afahk they didn't look or come back for him) so he has a few guesses .

All he knows , thanks to the guy who scooped him up off the street and brought him to the orphanage to wait , is that his parents

1. were riding a wagon very fast towards the coast

2. the wagon had piles of random assorted cargo in it

3. he had been sat in the back with the cargo (otherwise he couldn't have fallen out)

and 4. they were in such a hurry they didn't notice him hitting the road

Based on this his best guess is that his parents were slightly wealthy (poor people don't have easy access to wagons with HORSES), were evacuating in a hurry with their stuff most likely because they angered a guild (maybe that's why he was in the back- maybe his life had been threatened and they were hiding him, or travelling with a baby would be too conspicuous a marker for lookouts) , and that they planned to get on a ship at the docks . What he then DOESN'T know , what keeps him up at night , is the question of; when they realised he wasn't with them did they search for him, or did they decide it was more trouble than it was worth and leave him behind knowingly ?
