(here's the ask game post. i've gotten/done betrayal, desire, future, nightmare and secret so far.)
this was weirdly hard!! i hope the answers don't disappoint!
secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?
kimon: his whole problem with prophecy and fate. there were no witnesses and the only way for people to find out is if he tells them. and he sure as shit isn’t going to claim any of that, because his chances of getting away hinge on there being as little connective tissue between him and the fated bullshit.
vaal: vaal struggles with setting boundaries so bad e doesn't have the sense of privacy to keep secrets of eir own. and like sure e wouldn’t love if certain facts about em got out and were used to paint them out as a violent monster — like eir love of fighting, or, uh, other preferences — but e’s comfortable sharing all of that with at least kimon, if not with everyone else close to em.
arin: as a teen, they broke into a protected ancient sacred site and committed light desecration when they stole an artifact from there. the consequences for this getting out would be immense.
tess: i’m sorry, i’m fully drawing a blank. it’s something actually inconsequential but something that feels mortifying. like having puked on your middle school crush type of thing.
sam: her hallucinations. they’re not a problem, and she doesn’t want to worry others needlessly, nor be looked down upon or coddled or treated differently in any way. with any other issue she’s able to be rational and trust her loved ones, but the hallucinations are a special case. partially because she’s pretty sure they’re just caused by stress, and she knows they don’t fit in any spiritual frameworks she knows. she’d rather not get outside confirmation though. she finds comfort in the thought of being visited and having company during her tough times.
leskel: see here’s the problem. this man has so many fucking secrets. his secret plans, how he’s not actually human, his crimes, his weaknesses… the list goes on. but despite having answered ascension for the desire ask, what he really wants, no, needs on a fundamental level, is to be known.
