5 What was the first time you really connected to this character, if ever? Why do you think this moment made the character special to you?
hannah asked this too but another moment for this one was when the guards spotted us - we all rolled super low perception and the first warning of it we had was them being literally behind us and cas, on instinct, casting invisibility in the middle of the market was so stupid but also i was like. yeah this is what she’d do. she doesn’t deal with problems she just hopes they go away or hopes she can go away. it’s the figuring out how they deal with conflict of it all. and then later in the prison with devo and luca not telling them what was actually really going on because she felt really guilty and scared and just. holding devo’s hand for a little bit because she is still just a kid (i say, about a 20 year old, at 19 years old myself). and it was more she was digging her nails into her palm rather than talk about it and the only way she could think of to stop doing that was to hold someone else’s hand because she wouldn’t hurt them. it’s so easy to play characters when they’re just flirting w people at a bar or in combat that doesn’t have emotional stake but man. the past coming back to haunt you do make you think.
7. Did you ever rewrite/revise their backstory during the campaign? How much of a change was it? How much do you think the DM cried, and how sorry do you feel for their tears?
i don’t think i’ve revised anything so much as i’ve just fleshed stuff out? because with the tulas “arc” being first we got to the island and i was immediately like “huh i need to figure out what cas’s family is really like etc” and so then mac and i spent a while talking about her sisters and the country and cas and amias which was delightful. it didn’t change much (except the one thing that i talked about in coggers a bit) but it did make it easier for me to just say shit which i love doing. i doubt mac cried and if they did, whoops.
9. What are your character’s relationships like with every member of their party? Bonus, if you want to write a short blurb on your character’s opinion of them.
ah delightful! they simply don’t know each other yet but that’s okay:
sera: cas has forbidden older sister emotions about sera but it’s Fine it’s just a LOT for her sometimes. she thinks she’s very sweet and delightful and is a little scared of her because she seems incredibly powerful without knowing it.
jettie: cas has less forbidden older sister emotions about jettie. she admires her strength and her resolve and is mostly still confused about what’s going on there but she also trusts jettie with her entire being to either beat some fuckers up or reveal something crazy like wings to save their asses (jettie uses an ability she hasn’t before and cas just goes. you know those days when you’re like. this might as well happen. adult life is already so goddamn weird)
fin: cas is legitimately so awed by fin because she knows SHIT about her and thinks she’s fucking cool as hell. also right now cas probably thinks fin’s magic comes from somewhere mysterious and unknown too which it does but not in that way. also. fin’s been to JAIL?!
devo: literally. yeah. cas has forbidden emotions about devo too in the opposite direction and needs to ask her like nine thousand questions once we’re done with this battle but cas would literally fight with devo til the end of the earth it’s just how it be.
bonus round luca: cas loves him and thinks he’s fucking hilarious and is constantly worried for his well being. amias: cas still likes him but jesus christ man get your act together no sleepovers for a while we both need to be healthy human beings (elven/infernal beings, whatever)
overall: cas is starting to like. trust the party to have her back and trust herself to have theirs and it’s nice :]
