Some follow up questions: does horror resent nightmare for what happened to him and his bro (and his village) due to nm past action and all the negativity causing his sad past?
What guild was dusty part of? Are they still Kind of existing and get a part in the story or something?
What actually would happen if u happen to REALLY piss of horror?? 6w6 i'm curious now^^
I also want to know, do horror and dust (and maybe killer too) do sleepovers or some nice, idk, chill time as making dinner together, watching movies or play games and enjoying Snacks? Or things u consider a bit more domesticated (platonically)?
Oh and... Did killer entertain to gift nm sometimes flowers or would it be considered a bit to gay for him (yet)?? I mean nm does like them and plants, as i understood... Maybe killer would sometimes place some in nm's office as decoration for idk calming effect or liven things up or something, idk? If nightmare isn't keeping some anyway?
Ah that, I'm not surprised you're curious about that... Horror's feelings are a bit... complicated when it comes to that.
Does Horror resent Nightmare?
I wouldn't say he does. Horror hasn't met Nightmare, but he's heard about him from Killer. He doesn't seem like the type to intentionally cause harm to his own people... but the legends said he did... He technically wasn't around when Horror's brother died either, so can he be blamed?
Horror isn't sure how he feels. He doesn't think he likes Nightmare, but he doesn't hate him either. He doesn't want to dislike someone Killer thinks so highly of either. Horror is just trusting that Nightmare has changed.
What Guild was Dust a part of?
They called themselves the Phantoms. Dust doesn't know if they're still around. It's possible they replaced the leader after Dust escaped, but Dust has tried to make sure he stayed as far away from them as possible.
They may still be part of the story, they may not. It all depends on what happens I suppose!
What would happen if Horror got pissed off?
If Horror cares about you, you'll get silent treatment first and foremost. He'll ignore you until he feels better. Give him his space, or he'll snap at you. (I mean that literally, he's bitten Killer before). If he got mad because you weren't taking care of yourself, he'd be liable to keep you locked in his house until you actually started doing so. No exceptions.
If, on the other hand, you were a stranger?
Horror would treat you like a threat. You're not a person anymore to him, you're a target. You've only got one chance to get away from him, and if you don't take it? You'll see what all fugitives see as they run from the Executioner.
Do Horror/Killer/Dust do domestic activities?
Well Killer is working more often than not, so the time these three get together is always doing some sort of activity! They don't really do sleepovers, but they might cook together if they decide to have dinner!
They'll play board games or card games, go out into town, or just relax together. If they've been having a hard time with work, Dust and Killer will cuddle on either side of Horror and just sleep. They'd like to spend time doing something, but sometimes just relaxing and taking a nap together is good enough.
Does Killer get Nightmare flowers?
As a gift? No not really >w< It's just a bit too romantic. Even if they were together, Killer wouldn't get him flowers if it wasn't a special occasion. Public image and all.... But if a special event were to come up, Killer might leave some flowers in Nightmare's office.
If Nightmare asked, he would say it's just to brighten the room for the occasion, and it's partially true.
Hey could I have the most fluff-filled hc you have for Kingdomverse? (As soon as you want to of course, no rush)
My fluffiest HC for Kingdomverse? Is it really a HC if I'm the creator? Hehehe XD
Hm... well I've already mentioned tons of fluffy stuff for the Kings and their Guards... Mm... Oh! How about some platonic fluff? That counts right?
So I haven't talked about KV!Horror much, but I really adore his character too! So something I've thought about is how Killer and Dust both interact with Horror!
Both Killer and Dust regularly visit with Horror and help to take care of him, since he has memory issues and people are quite a bit scared of the Royal Court Executioner. They're all rather close friends, and they make sure Horror gets practically anything he could want or need!
Food, clothes, trinkets, anything Horror wants! Though he never asks for much beyond the bare necessities, so Dust and Killer, when they're out and about with him- so mostly Dust since Killer is always working- they've learned to look for the signs of Horror being interested in something.
(I hope this was alright >w< I'm sure you were thinking of something romantic, but I think some platonic fluff is nice too! It makes my heart warm to think about how much Horror's friends care about him...)
Did Killer and cross ever spar with the Captain of the guardmen, blue? How was the outcome?
Can i have some background infos on dust, horror and blue, like what their past was like and anything important? I also wanna know what they preferred food/Drinks/snacks are? Can they Cook/bake (horror can i know) How did they learn, who did teach them or did they selftaught? Any Hobbys they do in their spare time??
Yes, Killer and Cross both have sparred with Blue! Cross and Blue used to primarily train with each other before Killer became a Royal Guard. Blue is very skilled, and he can certainly keep up with the two for a time! Blue is a heavier hitter than Killer, and he's more agile than Cross, so he's certainly bested them at least once or twice.
They spar with him on occasion still, if they're not sparring with each other.
Dust's Past
Dust was an orphan. He was bought from the slave trade by an assassin's guild, and trained to be one of them. He was treated poorly, and hated every moment of it. To cope with the abuse he received, he ended up hallucinating a brother he never had.
His "brother" convinced him to escape, to get revenge on the guild. Dust used the skills the guild taught him and managed to kill the leader of the guild himself, escaping before he was caught. He laid low for some time before he started trying to find other work.
He became interested in alchemy and medicines, and he picked it up rather quickly. At one point, he met Horror, who'd wandered into the shop Dust had set up. Horror seemed lost and was having difficulties explaining what he wanted. Dust was patient and helped Horror. He'd needed something for headaches.
The two became friends as Horror became a regular customer, and when Dust expressed his anxieties over the guild (after explaining his past), Horror used what influence he had as Royal Executioner to get Dust employed as a member of the Royal Court.
Dust isn't a picky eater. He has a strong distaste for fish of any kind though. He has a soft spot for hard candies. Dust can't cook complicated dishes, but he can do simple recipes on his own. Horror has tried to teach him, but Dust can't seem to get the hang of it.
Dust's hobby is his work. It did start out as a hobby of course. He has his own garden where he grows his own herbs for his alchemy, and quite a few books on the subject as well.
Horror's Past
Horror grew up in a village that was practically cut off from the rest of the Kingdom due to the actions of Nightmare. Nightmare's influence and power over the Kingdom left many permanent marks, and tainted the land around Horror's home village.
This caused creatures of shadow, fueled by negativity and what remnants of Nightmare's magic there was, to continue to form and terrorize scattered villages around the borders of the Kingdom. Horror was born in one of these villages, and was raised in fear of these creatures.
One day, a creature of shadows broke into the village and attacked the people. Horror's brother died while protecting the villagers, and Horror was severely injured. When he'd finally recovered, Horror made himself the protector of the village in his brother's stead. He would leave the village to the surrounding forests and slaughter any and all hostile creatures.
Eventually, Blue came to the village with his Guardsmen in tow, intending to help provide protection for the village. He saw Horror's skill and how much he'd been struggling, and made an effort to befriend him. Eventually, when Blue was going to head back to the Capitol, he offered to bring Horror with him.
Horror agreed. He didn't like the way the villagers treated him, and Blue was his first friend.
Horror will eat anything and everything. He was the main provider in his village, and the creatures of shadow had pushed out nearly all wildlife around the village. Nightmare's magic had made the soil nearly impossible to grow anything in.
Horror is grateful just to have food without worrying about when his next meal will be. He likes meat the most, which is kind of funny because he really likes animals.
Horror is a good hunter, so I suppose that would be his hobby. Hunting and butchering. He's good at axe throwing too. Horror hasn't really explored any other options for activities.
Blue's Past
Blue grew up in the Capitol with his younger brother, Stretch. From a young age he'd dreamed of being a part of the Guardsmen. The gleaming armor, the strength, protecting others, all of it appealed to him. He'd always wanted to be a Guardsman! (Well, he wanted to be a prince first, then he wanted to be a Guardsman.)
Blue pushed himself harder than anyone else. He had to if he wanted to keep up. Blue trained day and night, but he was struggling. He didn't have as much magic as the other Guardsmen, and needed to rely purely on his physical capabilities.
Stretch saw Blue's struggles, and he wasn't about to let him fall. Stretch joined Blue's training, helping to push Blue by also pushing himself. The two brothers kept each other up, and Blue eventually passed his training with flying colors. Stretch joined the Guardsmen alongside Blue.
It didn't take long for Blue to rise through the ranks, becoming the youngest Captain in the Guardsmen's history.
Blue can cook rather well, and he always tries to make the things he cooks healthy. Though, Blue loves anything raspberry flavored. It's his weakness. Blue is a jack of all trades kind of monster, and he seems to be good at anything he tries!
Is the Position of the overseer of the guardsmen test given to a certain Person (maybe by more experienced, older guardmen or something) or are they shifting from time to time?
So the overseer can even order the kings to take part... Interesting! Did the Kings actually ever got ordered or even requested to take part in it? XD How did it went?
Can i maybe ask for an.... Idk... description(?) on how horror gets if he goes apeshit? xD idk but i find it so endearing and interesting... I just need to know!! 6w6 pls pls pls if ots not too much??<3333 come on go berserk mode~ 🤩💕 lol
An Overseer is typically a Senior Guardsman, or a high ranking Guardsman! An Overseer doesn't need to be a Guardsman though, they just need to be qualified to dictate who is capable enough to be in the Guardsmen. Dream has acted as Overseer before, when the Guardsman were being reformed after Nightmare's reign.
Have the Kings been ordered to participate in the Trial?
The Kings can't be ordered to participate, but they can be requested to do so! And so far, no, neither of them have been requested to do so XD
If they were, the trainee would need to be quite exceptional for an Overseer to request one of the Kings themselves to participate in their trial!
Cross has been asked for multiple times though! None of the trainees he's tested have actually beaten him, but he's a very good opponent. He knows what to do to get the best out of the trainee.
What is Horror like when he's going "berserk"?
Well I wouldn't call what Horror is like "berserk" or anything like that. In my head, I guess I've been calling what you're talking about "Huntsman Horror" or "Executioner Horror". The way he acts isn't wild really, it's much more controlled. He becomes a hunter seeking it's prey.
It's hard to properly describe. It's... eerie, to say the least. He gets a terrifying grin on his face, the pupil of his iris turns into a slit, and he ceases talking entirely. He may growl or make grunts, or even laugh, but no words will come from him.
Horror might play with the person he's hunting if they're trying to run from him. No matter which way they go, even if they think they're getting away, Horror is always aware of where they're going. He's always pushing them into the perfect spot for him to strike.
He doesn't much care for making them suffer. He'll terrify them while he's hunting, but Horror makes their death quick. It's still bloody though. If Horror prolongs your death, you've done something to really piss him off, which is admittedly hard to do.
I hope that describes it? It's terrifying, controlled, and it's clear he enjoys it (At least in some aspects).
