Day 3: Non-Romantic Relationship Day
Buckle up because we have quite a bit to talk about for Day 3 of @originalficfest . Yesterday we had romantic relationships and today with have other relationships!
So let’s start with deities. Relationships between gods and other immortal beings are finicky, complex, and unpredictable at best in both fictional and real-world mythology. Chaos Corp is no exception.
So let’s start with our main four: Danae, Zade, Farjack, and Sera. Their relationship is quite special, being an important factor in their adventures during the past, or traditional fantasy, setting. They have known each other for a long long time and have developed some interesting friendships and rivalries with each other. It’s only logical to compare them to siblings.
Danae is the troublemaker sibling, always doing things they really shouldn’t be and picking on the others, but you can trust him to have your back. Zade is the logical sibling, great at solving problems, but kind of a stuck-up and a little mischievous. Farjack is the pure sibling, the one who’s passionate and tries his best and is beloved by all but is also overly confident. And Sera is the responsible sibling, making sure they stay on task and trying to keep them all out of trouble as much as possible.
This hopefully gives you an idea of how they interact and how their personalities connect. Zade and Sera get on great but are constantly having to keep up with Danae and Farjack’s not thought out escapades. Zade and Danae have an “anything you can do I can do better” competitive relationship, whilst Farjack and Sera are quick to work together combining their strengths and supplementing eachothers weaknesses. Zade and Farjack are like the relationship between the oldest sibling and the youngest sibling, they just love hanging out and having fun. Farjack is great at loosening Zade up and Zade is great at keeping Farjack grounded. Which leaves Danae and Sera who probably have the most conflicting relationship, Danae is an act first, think later kinda guy, he has good intentions but doesn’t consider the consequences. Whilst Sera always tries to find the path that will result in the least conflict and collateral, believing that violence is almost never the answer.
They truly are one crazy family.
So that brings us to everyone else, to keep this of a relatively controlled length I’ll talk about the most notable relationships that come to mind.
Jaegan and Danae have quite a messy acquaintanceship where Danae is kind of like his mentor but Jaegan thinks he’s an asshole.
Zade and Krish have a very strong blossoming friendship much to the surprise of everyone else in the company. They have very similar logical thought processes and neither of them care for gossip. Zade will sit down with Krish to give a second eye to problems Krish is having and Krish will help Zade way out the pros and cons of a decision.
Sera has a cool relationship with a mermaid called Abyss. Sera rescued her from the brink of death and Abyss decided to travel with her for a while and get to see more of the surface world. Sera is more than willing to help her figure out where she fits in the world but if anything bad were to happen to her she would feel 100% responsible and try to fix things as soon as possible.
Finally I’m going to talk about one of my favourite relationships, between Sera and a character who you haven’t met yet called Cerva. Their relationship spans multiple civilisations and is one of unrequited concern from Sera. Their relationship is very important so stayed tuned to find out more.
