Hiya Bee! Off this list, I wanna ask:
For Elendar:
2. How does your OC remember their childhood? Is this an accurate reflection of what their childhood was actually like?
For Haldiira:
11. What does your OC carry around in their pockets? What about their bag?
For Lachrymose:
17. What are some of your OC's coping mechanisms during stressful or overwhelming periods in their life?
For Tarlyn:
26. How quickly does your OC reach their breaking point? What are they like when this point has been reached?"
For Myrae:
28. What does your OC think others are saying about them behind their back? Is any of this true?
Please and thank you!
2. How does your OC remember their childhood? Is this an accurate reflection of what their childhood was actually like?
Elendar remembers his childhood being rather boring. Children were seen and not heard (as true for most drow boys). Things only got interesting when he realized that people didn't actually pay attention to his comings and goings, nor how obviously he was hidden. He was a child. He knew nothing. But he sure could listen and repeat what was said. That's when things started getting interesting.
This is fairly accurate to what happened to him as a child. The only thing he doesn't like to remember is the reason why his Matron 'Mother' gave him her favor when he was exceptionally young... He doesn't like remembering how much his 'siblings' then turned on him and hated him for being such a nosey snitch. (though he maintains that everyone should have been better at keeping their secrets, if they didn't want to get caught by their Mother. )
11. What does your OC carry around in their pockets? What about their bag?
Haldiira tends to carry around practical items. Knives, extra crossbow bolts, Poison. etc. She doesn't tend to keep much on her person. She doesn't really own a whole lot. I think she does have some token of thanks from Jarlaxle that she keeps on her, but as to what that is... at the moment I'm unsure.
17. What are some of your OC's coping mechanisms during stressful or overwhelming periods in their life?
Lachrymose will sit with himself and talk himself in circles until he believes that these things happen for good reason.
His mother, Fel'narra, denying him drow culture beyond a strong hand? Obviously, she's trying to protect him from Lolth and the terrible things that have happened. One day when he's older, she'll teach him more about Underdark drow culture.
His father, Erevan, constantly leaving their family that he claims to care about? Well they do need to put food on the table. Lachrymose will get a job too once he's old enough. His dad just wants to make sure that he's cared for.
Phyranna not standing up more for Lachrymose as a Silverhair Knight, and being able to perform the Consume Sin Ritual? Obviously, she's just trying to make their fellow drow from the Underdark more comfortable in these scary times. Lachrymose is taller than most of them, and they're used to thigns being done a certain way. You can't rush progress, they'll see one day that he's perfectly safe to be around.
26. How quickly does your OC reach their breaking point? What are they like when this point has been reached?"
Tarlyn is surprisingly patient. It was ingrained in him from when he was young, but especially under Dir'zafae, that he needs to sit and wait and be patient. The only time he loses it is if something terrible happens to Lachrymose, or there's a threat to him. Then he stops at nothing until the threat is eliminated and Lachrymose is okay.
28. What does your OC think others are saying about them behind their back? Is any of this true?
