๐(Orchid) (with any oc you choose)
Aye, first one! Cheers!]]
๐- [Exploring a PLATONIC relationship]
[ Sol ]
.Sol is used to be solitary for a loong time now and the concept of friendship still feels foreign to him. It's a little weird to him but he's making an effort to understand it better as of late. Means, them becoming friends isn't impossible after all!
.People (humans, villagers and illagers alike) tend to accuse him to bring bad omens, disasters, bad luck and simply death itself, if he even so came near a settlement. Brines [Herobrine] are largely seen as dangerous and all powerful beings, so he simply expects people to be scared and act irrational just spotting him. In any case the usual folk isn't too happy to see him and likewise he isn't too enthusiastic to run into strangers either. Unless he wants to make a scene on purpose because he's bored, caving in on the expectiations put on him.
.Orchid being a friendly illager, though practically raised by villagers, would make him ponder just a bit and distract him a little from his otherwise usual fight or flight response. Anything out of the ordinary- like peoples behaviour being so different from what he'd assume from them- make him halt in his tracks and curiosity takes over. He'll overthink for a while. That can start up a conversation as he ponders and might be inclined to ask questions on the hows and whys.
.Maybe they can bond little over how people assume bad things about them, just because of what they are. Hope she doesn't mind him following her for a while as he tends to when he's mildly interested in someones story.
.Sol will make snarky and grumpy remarks and likely mess with her, but has no malicious intent at the end of the day. Kindness and general hospitality towards him usually takes him aback, but they could genuinelly be chill with each other.
[ Lune ]
.She is by far easier to befriend and appears more cheerful with a spring in her step, though looks can be decieving.
.There would be interest in Orchid as Lune probably never ran into a non-hostile illager. Not quite with an occupation like this. She'd think Orchid is someone special. Some rare NPC! She wouldn't pass up on the chance to get on good terms with a special mob.
.She might appear like a bipedal sheep in a pink apron, but she will do and try anything to know more about Orchid and gain trust in hopes to unlock some rare loot or something. If she ever catches wind of her ability to create Notch god apples, then surely she'll want to have some of that.
.Lune tends to be relentless in her efforts. Though her motives of building up trust doesn't spark the proper idea of friendship, she wouldn't dare hurt or upset her.
.Eventually she'll drop the player-driven urge to yearn for loot and collectibles around Orchid and would be fine just chilling or trading things each found on their travels. Funnily enough, Orchid could mutter about needing something and the player sheep would just assume it's a quest and fetch it for her. Pf.
.Maybe not exactly a friendship, but it can be benefitial for both. In Lunes eyes Orchid is a unique NPC and worth protecting and questing for. P:
