Some 9 years post-game, sometimes your old partner/best friend is consecuted and comes back as a small goblin girl, and all that little bastard energy from the previous life is condensed into a much smaller body with sharp teeth.

I love Rika a lot and also love u key for drawing both of them so wonderfully as per usual

A backstory npc and a specialest boy!

Ilharess "Illy" Zolaed (he/him), graviturgist wizard, technically a noble, has died twice now it's fine he's consecuted he gets better

Illy was on his second life when he joined the Dynasty's military and ended up partnered with a half-orc echo knight. They hit it off extremely well and did work together for some five years or so as border guards in the mountains.

Vic considered Illy the smartest person he knew (which, tbf, was probably accurate at the time) and absolutely his best friend. He was also definitely in love with the stupid drow and didn't realize it until multiple years after Illy was killed. Lots of trauma there, only slightly negated by the fact that Vic did manage to get him close enough to a beacon for Illy's consecution to take.

Later had the fun time learning that the Zolaed family uhhhhhh Sucks and kind of pushed this kid to join the military (it wasn't a hard sell, granted) because he was bad at politics and they wanted him out of the way. The fact that he was killed in the process was kind of a pleasant surprise. There will be words about that at some point.

Ilharess is stubborn, a little arrogant, and dedicated to a fault. He's very particular about his hair and he loves his country and his magic and also maybe his extremely oblivious partner, there was never specific confirmation there

Also he's coming back for his third life as a goblin which is extremely funny to me, the short jokes will be endless

#ilharess #i love him your honor #i made a backstory npc and then got overly invested #also i was going to do hali but there are still too many secrets with them and i'd have to be So vague #and bc he is Relevant npc #viconis

11-20 for vic :)

11. if they have a pet or animal companion, how do they spend time with them? if they don’t have one, what sort of animal would they be interested in raising, if any? He has his familiar, Prosciutto, who has not changed from an otter since he first summoned her. When they're actively traveling (without immediate risks) she usually rides on his shoulders and I like to think plays with Anthe's tressym kitten in their downtime. Prosci acts as Vic's rubber duck when he's studying -- she might not have any insights into arcane glyphs, but she is definitely a good sounding board to just piece it together out loud toward. Good to talk to in general (far better than his old echos) and on some particularly stressful occasions, her fur is good to scream into.

12. how have they altered their body? piercings, tattoos, biohacks, or other modifications—anything. why (or why not) did they (or someone else) make those changes? Vic's had two tattoos; one of them is gone now because it was a spellwrought with revivify and he used it after like, 11 days. The most recent one is maybe a week old and non-magical; the Exandrian constellation that has whatever their version of the north star in it surrounding the outline of a dodecahedron. The explanation for it is kind of lengthy, but essentially it's a way to remember his home growing up, the god that might not directly talk to its followers but still made things better for them, and a reminder that he gets to decide where home is now.

13. what are some motifs you associate with them? did you intentionally bring in those motifs, or did it happen over time? The dodecahedron is kind of a given, what with Vic being from the Dynasty and all. Apart from that...shadows have kind of stuck with him, even with the echo knight abilities gone. The ancestral guardians show up like less corporeal echoes and his Shield spell acts as a dim shadowy barrier while it's up. He started out with that kind of motif but it's more surprising it's kept up the entire time.

14. what keeps them up at night? Other than the mundane "he gets really into studying and doesn't sleep" sort of thing. Usually it's not even a worry about anything specific, it's just...the paranoia that something will go wrong. Someone getting hurt and his not being able to stop it. He is consistently afraid of letting his friends down somehow.

15. is there something that never fails to make them laugh? In general, any of Nev's jokes. So many of them are just so matter-of-fact and it takes a second to realize it is a joke, and he loves that. Also any time he can get a genuine indignant reaction out of Everdin.

16. do they value their appearance? Not much. He's consciously aware that people find him attractive (because he has been blatantly told that people find him attractive) but he's not really...concerned about it. Vic wears what's comfortable and practical, he wouldn't have considered styling his hair until Dolly suggested it, he walked around with mismatched boots for a not insignificant amount of time. One of the only times he thinks more about what he looks like is when he's actively trying to be intimidating.

17. they’re crying—what did it take to make them cry? tbh Vic cries more often with happy situations than sad ones. He cried when he got the answer about Illy and when he first cast dancing lights. In actual upsetting situations he tends to shut down more.

18. what dish brings back the best memories for them? There's this specific like. baked mushroom dish that one of his aunts makes that remains his favorite to this day. He hasn't had it in multiple years due to the whole desertion thing but it's absolutely a food that reminds him of childhood and running around with cousins and a lot of very loud and chaotic love.

19. what sparks genuine, unadulterated rage in them? Oddly, in a way, fear. Like...rage is a mechanic for him, and a very useful one, but not one he's a fan of. Vic rages when things are going very badly, when he needs to be able to ignore pain and take way too many hits, when he needs to set morals to the side to make sure his friends get out alive. With very few exceptions, every time Vic has raged he's been afraid, but fear isn't useful. Getting mad enough to impale a guy on the melted remnants of a metal door is useful.

20. what attracts them to someone—platonically and/or romantically, anything counts. With the notable exception of D'nou, Vic has terrible taste in men. He's got a deep appreciation for mages, and the confidence that comes with being good at magic. Being able to hold their own in a fight, whether with magic or weapons. Tolerating the way his already average charisma tends to plummet without warning when awkward things come up. So far the weirdly specific types have included morally-grey twinks and beefy paladins. It's a wide range.

#wide gestures I LOVE HIM HE'S A MESS #thank u bee for the list and the questions !!#viconis

A fic I wish you would write is Vic experiencing simple pleasures. Like he made his tea in the morning better than usual and he slept really well. Just the little things.

(the fact that my immediate thought was "unrealistic blocked" says a lot about what i put this boy through)

tbh though he's getting,,, marginally better at actually noticing those things. Sometimes through a conscious effort, but it still counts. Appreciating a good dinner Dolly makes (because gods it's a far cry from the dry rations he was used to on assignment) or the times he does sleep through the night or the little noises Prosciutto makes when she drapes over his shoulders.

He makes a point to notice the little surge of pride when he finally cracks a weird part of a spell. When Nol doesn't have to break down a new concept into its simplest parts before he actually gets it. When the motes of light flare into existence more from muscle memory than a strict focused effort.

Vic's aware there have always been these little bits of happiness, especially when seeing his friends happy -- seeing Nev and Anthe sharing a silent joke or D'nou wrapped up in whatever new sketch he's started or Dolly focused on shaping bits of candy just because or Everdin spotting his own win in dragonchess twenty moves down the line -- they've always been there, even when shit was otherwise consistently bad.

Lately it's just a matter of...noticing. Letting himself sit in it, even for a moment. Vic was always pretty good at brushing past things like that, especially when shit was bad, because losing focus on the problems meant it'd just get worse.

It's still a conscious effort sometimes. But it's getting a little better. And maybe sometimes it feels like grasping at straws, but damn if his grip isn't getting really impressive.
