a princess of the people

SO the queen of AUs (@ishgard) decided to infect me with a what if for Dreyll...

I know I don't talk that much about characters and their stories and all that, a big part of that is just because I'm generally exhausted from my 9-5 dealing with the public that I don't really have the brain energy to get into those sorts of things... but I mean also definitely a part of myself that feels like no one would really care if I shared anyway, but that part of me is so wholly unimportant and irrelevant (and wrong, don't ever let that voice convince you otherwise). But boy it just. Makes it hard to want to put energy into stuff anymore. u_u

BUT anyway, Dreyll is an OC from an original world and she fits nicely into different worlds so I port her around all the time. There's only really one usual consistency which is that she's typically an orphan taken in by some nice old granny/grandpa and more or less has a happy upbringing in a small town, growing a sense of wonder that leads her to adventure.

The same is true here in XIV land where her "canon" is that she is adopted by a lalafellin couple, found abandoned on a trip between the shroud and Ul'dah. They mistake her for a miqo'te until she starts getting bigger and then it's just adorable silliness and she has a happy life, well loved, but always harbors a curiosity for what life might have been like otherwise, and if she has any family and all that. Usual stuff.

Well, Crow sprinkled a little 'what if she was taken in by Garleans actually' which is just hilarious, because I had sort of figured it was because of Garleans she winds up abandoned (parents either killed or knew they couldn't keep her safe and had to place her somewhere she would be found and picked up, granting her a much higher chance of survival).

But it is late and I am tired and need to sleep but anyway, I'm gonna be sitting in this stew a lil bit. If ur curious for more lmk and I'll try to formulate words about it. -w-

Jealous kiss... cuz this sounds fun as fuq, for Tertius and Dreyll >:3c

No stars shone upontheir meeting. Perhaps it would have been better that way, to existonly in shades of black rimmed with blue, but shadow was the provinceof their foe, and it only seemed right to bring Light to light.Dreyll—the eikon-slayer, hecorrected himself—was at his back, carefree as if this were asummer stroll through the gardens.

Dutyand news laid more heavily upon the shoulders of the man callinghimself Tertius, and he bore them all, and his charge besides, intothe lair of the Black Wolf. The ex-legatus was sitting beside a fire,poring over a map. Priscus sat at his left hand, which meant Plutoniacouldn’t be far off. Tertius wondered for a moment what Dreyllwould make of her—and what she would make of Dreyll. To hisknowledge, since Saldis aanPlutonia had left her enclave, she had not seen another Viera. Theywere not much alike to one another, in Tertius’s estimation. Thenagain, Tertius was not much like Maxima quo Priscus, either.

“Whatnews from Aldenard?” Tertius greeted the others.“Civilwar,” said Gaius Baelsar, a sardonic sort of amusement in hisvoice.“Much as the old wolf might have tried to avert it,”Plutonia said. Her arch tone was unalloyed. “His Radiance Varis zosGalvus is dead.”“Hm,” grunted Tertius. “And his beastof a son defends his throne?”“No,” said Maxima. “Zenoshas abandoned the capital … and is a patricide besides.”“Notsurprising,” was Tertius’s assessment.“You were gone awhile,” Maxima said with amusement. His violet eyes flicked over torest on Dreyll a moment.“We had a lot to do,” Dreyll said.“Alphinaud sends his regards,” she added cheerily. This seemed tomake Maxima smile.At length, Baelsar furled the map up again,handing it off to Maxima. As the former centurion busied himself withreplacing it in its case, the Black Wolf reached up and clappedTertius on the arm. “It’s good to have you back, Caius,” hesaid.

Therewas a momentary pause in the camp. To most of those present it waslittle surprise, but Dreyll had let out a little gasp, and every setof eyes had fallen upon her.“Caius?” she echoed. “Ithought your name was Tertius?”Baelsar laughed, and reachedout to take Dreyll’s hand, urging her forward. “A poor jest on myfriend’s part,” he said. There was a glint in the old wolf’seyes as he said, “He really let you call him by that alias all thiswhile?”

Whateverhis commander’s dry amusement, Tertius—Caius—did not share it.Less so still when Dreyll said, “I guess we weren’t as close as Ithought.” The hurt in her voice was obvious, and he could feel hershrink from him.

Thatseemed unconscionable, so he reached out to take her by the chin,turning her mouth to his for a brief, crushing kiss. It was not theirfirst, nor remotely their most passionate, andit was more a statement than any real gesture of affection. In itswake, just the same, loyalties were laid bare and bonds made obvious.When he let her go he was pleased to note that Baelsar had let go ofher hand.

LFRP

Name: Dreyll Amestris/Kivaltas (depending on when/what verse you meet her)

Three important physical features:

♥ Long long red hair. If her hair is SHORT then something out of her control probably happened to it. ♥ Bright orange eyes. Just like, so so bright. ♥ A persistent smile.

Three places where someone might find them:

♥ Around Ul’dah - her adoptive parents live there. ♥ Somewhere in the Shroud. Probably tucked under a tree, listening to the birds. ♥ Taking in the sights in the Peaks.

Three topics that might get them talking:

♥ Literally anything cute.  ♥ Talk of other viera (she’s never really met any). ♥ Honestly anything. She will talk to anyone about anything. Even things she doesn’t know - she’s always excited to learn more.

About the Writer:

Hi! I’m Kristi! I can be really shy... or like, super outgoing and energetic. I’m sorry about me, tbh... I get really invested in my rps, and they mean a lot to me. I like shipping but I find it very awkward if I don’t know someone first. Please don’t... come knocking on my door about shipping if I don’t know you. That doesn’t mean I wont RP with anyone, but if you’re goal is to bone down, I’m not interested. I try to reflect what my partners put out with length and style. 

What timezone/time of day are you online?

EST, but I have a day job that usually keeps me away until mid afternoon, and knocks my butt into bed around 10pm.

What RP platforms do you use? (In-game, Discord/Skype, Tumblr, etc)

Well, Tumblr I guess. If we get to know one another maybe Discord.

Three facts about you!

♥ I’ve been RPing for almost 20 years, starting way back in ye olde neopets forums with one line rps. ♥ I am a big nerd about a lot of stuff. I love science! I love learning new things! You can always talk to me about stuff that interests you because I promise you I am interested. ♥ I have a dog, three cats, and two rabbits, and they are.... Something.
