i’ve been scrolling through the fe8 tag for over an hour and ive come across 2-3 arts of forde (and nothing for rennac, but did you really expect anything for him) and im. im 5 seconds from cryin right now
“You know, we’re going to head out into battle soon; I’d figure you’d want to get moving before Princess L’Arachel finds you here,” Forde whispered with a smile, cozily wrapped in Rennac’s arms.
“Mmmm… don’t wanna,” the thief murmured lazily, burying his head into Forde’s neck. “You’re too warm and comfy… to leave right now…”
have some hcs i thought up of + some when i had a modern au in mind (most are really messy and all over the place, sorry about that)
joshua:
tends to talk with his hands a lot
finds it hard to make eye contact most of the time; looks at people's eyebrows instead, though makes eye contact when he's serious
looks around him a lot when nervous
tends to bite the inside of his lip a lot; scarred it once or twice
can't sleep on smth if its very soft
can't eat very sweet things either
made his hat himself
tends to crack his knuckles as a nervous habit at times
ambidextrous, prefers using right hand
clingy sleeper (though hesitant at first)
modern au
baseball player; batter (i love lacett’s AU idea ok)
when crushing, he can get lost in thought/daydream thinking about them
can't do laundry for shit
rumored to be able to outrun a car
pulls his hair back a lot; has thought about braiding it more than once
keeps his room... mostly clean
rock music all the way
lives off of soda, tea, and bread
people rumor the relationships he’s had to be several across the campus, which is actually false; he's had only a couple previous flings, usually ending up in "we should just stay friends"
knows sign language
not a morning person
has seafood allergy; throat clogs up; not airborne
has a weaker sense of smell than most
there’s more with forde and rennac under the cut!
forde:
named his horse after his mother
can't sing aloud for shit but sings really good lullabies (it's something he had to do for franz when they were younger)
nicked his left hand pretty bad in a duel, scarred across his palm (may/may not be the same duel he had against kyle)
most animals seem to gravitate towards him - ironic, considering at first his horse wanted (and almost still wants) nothing to do with him (she almost reared him in the face when they first met)
surprisingly picks up on cues really well
not very emotional, at least in front of others
favors autumn the most of seasons
tends to forget what he is saying in the middle of saying something
best at tentative kisses
talks in his sleep
took up sewing once a few years ago, never really got into it and decided to stick with painting (franz took it up soon after though)
nail biter
modern au
art student
forgets to eat sometimes
wears contact lenses
learns more by hearing than by demonstration or writing things down
grades are average/maybe just below average
has glasses, just doesn't use them unless he forgets he's out of contact lenses
lives and breathes coffee
pda catches him off guard, even something so slight as holding his hand gently (he adores the feeling though)
has almost no concept of time
slightly sensitive hearing
listens to music, though it’s mainly more ambient than anything to help him sleep better
probably owns a couple cats and spoils them rotten
usually a wallflower
wears whatever he wore that day to sleep in, will change if not comfortable with it though
rennac: (this is all mostly modern au in mind so i didn’t categorize them sorry)
gifted student, but doesn’t try at all
left-handed
if he really likes someone (which is rare) he'll lend them some money (rare but it can happen)
sneaks out of class often; one rarely even sees him throughout the day
can't do physical activity if his life depended on it; he hates the sweat and smell, and his stamina is godawful
owns a lot of really nice clothes but doesn’t wear them often unless it’s an at least mildly formal event; likes being a show-off about them too
oldest of 3 brothers; shares a mother with the middle brother and is closest to him (he’s really close with the youngest too, they’re just of different mothers); writes to/calls them often
fucking loves scarves
light sleeper and grumpy when woken up
low-key theater enthusiast; fairly good actor, sometimes in plays
actually stellar at english and history classes but no one knows he is
lactose intolerant
doesn’t like coffee but drinks sparkling waters like they're going out of style
picky eater; cannot stand most fruits but will eat vegetables if given to him
can and will live entirely off of sweets
easily flustered and also tsun as all hell
snores lightly
always sleeps with an eyemask and varies from sleeping fully clothed to sleeping naked
tends to toss and turn in his sleep if not sleeping well
shaves his legs because he likes the feeling
to compliment his affinity for dancing, he's also a pretty good singer, though nobody really knows that either as he only sings when totally alone
ticklish around his sides and hates it
actually loves having his back scratched
champion at monopoly and super smug about it
not easy to get gifts for, but is easily surprised; blows it off but actually loves getting gifts
Forde so you can ask him to paint you like one of those french girls to which he'll respond oui oui baguette, and start trying to paint a picture of you with a loaf a bread. Kyle will walk in, say nothing as he stands there, and then walk out. None of you will ever speak of this moment
