GW2: Prison

An icy blue eye watched the rat skitter across the concrete floor, its partner followed sightlessly.

They followed it until it squeezed itself through a small crack in the wall, towards freedom.

A sigh escaped his lips as he scratched his chin. The fiery ginger beard was coming in nicely.

It itched. He really wanted a shave. And a bath. With soap.

He wrapped his arms around his knees, hugging them close to his chest. He didn’t belong here. He just wanted to go home.

Home was a heavy, leather-bound book in one hand and a fine brandy in the other. Home was a warm fireplace and plush armchair. Home was laughter and happiness and love.

Home was where his family was.

His real family. His brother, Anselm. His sister, Cersei. His wonderful, wonderful love, Kairi.

Tears slipped down his pale and freckled cheeks, losing sight in the scruffy beard.

Someone behind him yelled profanities and he flinched as something hit the cell bars behind him. Slowly, he turned to find another rat.

Sightless eyes stared back at him, blood and grey matter oozed from a hole in its head.

It would be so easy, he thought. To make a jagged horror from this. It would be so so easy to make an army of horrors from these rats. I could cut my palm with a nail or bite it hard enough to draw the blood. I would just have to…

He tore his eyes away from the creature, staring at a dark stain on the wall in front of him. He rubbed his nose on his knees. The coarse pants that covered them scratched the nose raw.

He didn’t dare try casting magic; it would be a mistake. The guards would surely notice and he’d be punished.

This was already torture. Being away from them was torture.

The tears came faster now. He couldn’t stop them. He didn’t want to.

16 for anyone

Hey Lyna, meet Dorian the Human Necromancer!—

16. “Listen. We both know I’m not making it through this.”

He glanced around the corner, his fist grasping his scepter tighter. There were too many of them. One of them would have to be left behind. He looked over at Anselm, his best friend’s skin a little paler than usual. He wasn’t at full strength just yet.

“You should go on without me.” Teal eyes met his blue one. The blond brows furrowed.

“Are you crazy? Now’s not the time to be brave. I’m not leaving you behind, Dorian.” He bit his lip hard, drawing blood.

With a swipe of his hand, he took the blood off his lip and channeled his necrotic magic. Shadows swirled around his feet.

He glanced around the corner again, avoiding his best friend’s, his brother’s, gaze. He looked at him again, shaking but grabbing the more muscular man’s gauntlet.

He pleaded, his voice betraying how he was feeling, “Take care of Kairi for me. Please.” In that moment, they both knew he wasn’t making it through this.

top 3 of who u feel the most sorry for :P

…You’re asking me this question?  You jerk.

3. Borghildr Nordskov or Dorian Ahimoth: One has a mother die at a young age, is a single mother who raised her son by herself, and her family is pretty broken these days.  The other is a victim of child abuse who constantly worries about if the people he cares about, actually care about him.  I think in some way, they both need some validation from their loved ones.  

2. Elah or Datura: Elah’s been through a lot of rough patches.  People have died, she’s trying to overcompensate for her confidence, and she’s just frustrated.  She’s very complicated and hurt, but I’d like to think she’s a dynamic enough character.  Datura never seems to have what she really wants, and it’s upsetting.  She eventually does.  Eventually.

1. Asphodel: This should have been super obvious.  I beat the poor boy with every possible mean trope and wanted to see how it would work.  I ended up hurting myself, my RP partners/friends, and my friends’ characters in the process.  I love Asphodel so much, but I feel so bad for him.  I’m proud of the character I created with him regardless.

Biggest scaredy cat:

I only have two that fit this description:

2.  Rachytt: He’s afraid of necromancer minions because of childhood and he’s convinced charr are going to eat him because he’s much smaller than they are.  Scarred for life, unfortunately.

1.  Dorian Ahimoth: He’s more of a nervous wreck and tries his best to cover it up.  I really don’t blame him though, his backstory made him that way.

§ and ❞ for Dorian and for ⌆ and ⏀ for Borgi.

§ how would their hair gray? or would they lose their hair first?I can picture Dorian with grey hair.  With all the anxiety he has, I wouldn’t be too surprised that he started going grey in his early twenties.  It probably started in the sideburns and roots first.  

❞ write a quote they would find themselves saying“No, guys.  That’s not a good idea.  Oh…you’re doing that thing I told you not to do.  …Never mind.”

⌆ a nervous tic or habit they doBorgi doesn’t really get nervous, but I think that she would be a thumbnail biter if something really bothered her.

⏀ describe their usual smile Borgi doesn’t have big wide smiles, but smaller ones.  Regardless, they reach her eyes, and are very gentle and motherly.

Dorian and Rachytt: 1, 11, 19, 23

1.  What race are they? How does it affect their personality and views, if at all?Dorian Ahimoth is a human.  He’s mostly wary of charr, and every other race confuses him.  Mostly sylvari.

Rachytt is an asura, but he doesn’t look down on other races.  He’s afraid of charr, mostly because he’s small enough to be eaten by them.  It’s probably just paranoia, though.

11. Do they have any family? What’s their relationship like with them?Dorian’s family is huge and completely bad news.  His large, noble family made their money doing shady, criminal activities, so practically everyone isn’t great to get along with.  The only person in his family that Dorian cares about is his older sister, Lilith.  Dorian considers his best friend, Anselm, his brother. They've been through a lot together, and they've been friends for a very long time.

Rachytt’s family consists of his parents and “adopted brothers” Frytt and Lapis.  He gets along fine with his parents and Frytt is his best friend.  Lapis, with his creepy demeanor and constant summoning of minions, he and Rachytt are not on good terms (Rachytt is afraid of dead things: risen and ghosts). He also has a cousin named Pixi.

19.  List 5 of their favorite things, can be anything from food to places to activities, etc etc

Dorian:

Anselm

Kairi

Shadow Fiends

Books/Reading

Safety

Rachytt:

Phinoa

Rifles

Turrets

Stuff

Tinkering

23.  Give them an AU, any AU.

MODERN HUMAN, NO MAGIC AU

Dorian is student in Mortuary science (the study of deceased bodies through mortuary work), at a college that Kairi is at (who’s earning her PhD in Psychology), so he could be a mortician.  His family makes a lot of money in illegal activity, like in the mob.

Rachytt would be a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the same university.  He’d also be pining for Phinoa’s attention.
