but yeah I love the depth you put into all your characters' backgrounds, and they have really fun designs and unique aspects that make them instantly recognizable, like Cass's hair, Nika's hats/yellow palette, and Nyra in general (what a woman tbh)

also we need to play gw2 together again...schedules and time zones are a curse but. someday T.T

21, 25, 36 for the weirdly specific character asks for who you wanna talk about 😶‍🌫️

Thanks Nero!! :) Let's go with Pliarr--I talked about his sister the other day but not him, so it's his turn now :D

21. What common etiquette do they disagree with? Do they still follow it?

Pliarr doesn't care for titles very much, mainly because he grew up around a decent amount of people who enjoyed flaunting their titles around for the ego boost more than anything else. He immensely prefers to use people's names, but he'll use titles when it's required to be polite/undercover/respectful.

25. What subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot?

Pliarr absolutely can analyze the hell out of any musical track--he has a very good ear. He hasn't dedicated time to learning any instrument himself at this point, but he does know musical theory.

36. Who do they keep in their life for professional gain? Is it for malicious intent?

Pliarr has multiple contacts from different places and different Orders who he's in touch with mainly for information (and thus professional gain). A more personal example: he stays in touch with the asura professor Yaz, who helped raise him and Cio, though the situation was complicated. That's more for professional gain than for any personal relationship; Yaz used to be part of the Order of Whispers and is a valuable contact themself. It's also a little malicious, though not on any sort of grand scale. Yaz would like them to have a closer relationship, and Pliarr, by staying in touch, is kind of encouraging that thought process while also not wanting that himself.

Hello!! You asked for people to tell you about their Rooks! And I hope it's okay that I say a few words abt mine 🥰

Her name is Immaculata, she's a Crow of Antivan and Rivaini descent. She's one of many bastard children of the King of Antiva and basically grew up with the Crows! She's a rogue but also a latent mage circled by a demon of regret (and that is caused by her having had to kill the family of her target as well as her target once and she's been having a crisis of conscience ever since.)

She is a human and she will romance Lucanis! Here's a little picrew I made of her! She's a goth catholic saint murder girl!

GOTH CATHOLIC SAINT MURDER GIRL OMG HIII HIII!! (pushing lucanis down some stairs) HIIIIIIIII !! thank you sm for sharing! the rush of serotonin this provided is unmatched she’s so cool!! 🫶🫶🫶

ooh - how about relationships with bandmates & fans and persona for hedwig? :eyes:

Thank you so much for the ask! I told myself I would wait until I was done studying, but alas I cannot stay away. Disclaimer that all of my Infamous MCs are still very much under development, but that’s part of the point of this so here goes!

Character:

Name: [legal name] “Hedwig” Lorne (ze/hir, friends can use she/her sometimes) Stage name: [TBD] Band: Echo Chamber

Bandmates: How do they feel about the members of the band? Would they still be interested in stardom if they weren’t with that group?

When the band first started out, making music with hir friends and exploring art and expression was Hedwig’s aim. Very “us against the world” but in a bonding-with-friends way, not in a confrontational-with-others way. An enthusiastic crowd feels like an extension of hir and hir friends’ energy, which is why ze loves it and it’s the reason ze’s pursuing this as a career. So I guess ze loves music because ze loves people, especially hir friends. 

After Seven left, Hedwig was distant from the other members for a while and developed a bit of a wall between hir personal and professional relationships with them. That vote took hir by surprise, and ze had to reexamine hir interpretations of the others’ priorities. Ze spent some time processing that (alone at first, then with the help of the others), learned about hirself, tweaked boundaries, and is more centred in hirself now. There is still a professional distance with the band that wasn’t there before (not inherently good or bad), but overall ze has a very good relationship with the other members. 

Fans: How is their relationship with their fans? Do they go out of their way to interact?

Hmmm… okay so Hedwig adores the fans of the band’s music but struggles with people being fans of hir. Ze loves seeing the emotional interpretations of hir and hir bands’ works, so stuff like interpretive abstract artwork and emotional covers of their songs make hir feel like ze’s on cloud nine. Stories about what the band’s music means to a fan is also a big one. At concerts/parties/etc, seeing an excited fan gets Hedwig enthusiastic too and ze’s just incredibly grateful for it all.

On the flip side, Hedwig is uncomfortable not being able to separate hir private and public life though, and doesn’t really like reminders. So things like interviews or being recognized in hir day-to-day life make hir soul slip out of hir body for a second. That’s when hir less genuine (but still caring) professional face comes out and ze just tries to get through it as kindly and least revealingly as possible. 

Persona: How does their day-to-day personality compare to their on-stage persona? 

Hedwig was very quiet growing up and only managed to get into music by sort of separating hirself from who ze is on stage. Both are equally genuine, but… hmmm… it’s like ze uses music to sort of cloak hirself in this feeling of safety, hir emotions pouring out and sweeping away the barbs of other people’s judgements. Over time that cloak spread to include Seven first, then the members of the band, then eventually the audience, and now even after the concerts when that same energy is still present! Those lines between Hedwig’s public and private self have definitely gotten blurrier over the years, but are very much there. 

Hedwig is reserved. Not so much shy anymore as just easygoing and introverted? Crowds don’t make hir anxious anymore the same way that they used to, but ze just doesn’t have much interest. Hedwig’s lives hir life slowly while savoring the “little” things. 

[Stage name] radiates an energy I can’t quite describe. Still very similar at hir core, but more detached unless ze’s singing. Ze’s known as being kind of mysterious, but not in a self-important way? Think Keanu Reeves vibes ish, if Keanu turned into Florence Welsh on stage, but without as much experience with all of this.
