Monstrum: That Which Teaches

Oh man oh mannn!!! There really aren't many Nabriales/OC folks, it's true. Though I can absolutely say others exist, and are my friends, moots and acquaintances!

Everything is A LOT but I'll try and summarise it as best I can!

Firstly, I truly owe it to my best friend, who went "ha what if we rubbed your WoL and Nabriales together", and we've been writing/rping for nearly seven years with Nabriales, Emet-Selch and my WoL (Ira) as a polyship.

The short of it is that as Ancients, he was fascinated by the nature of their existence and eventually fell in love with them as a person. They're bonded in a way that survives the Sundering. They always end up finding each other, in any world, shard or universe because of it.

Post-ShB, the remains of Nabriales' soul were in a single sliver of auracite; Ira essentially pulled him out of and used their aether to stitch his soul back together; like a graft until it was stable enough on its own. They had some HEAVY regrets about what happened with Emet-Selch.

Generally his more playful nature helps unfurl Ira's more surly or withdrawn self; helps them come out of their shell. In the past this has sometimes had the edge of villainy or corruption to it, but post-Endwalker, untethered from Zodiark, it's more like old habits reinforced.

My bff writes Nabriales with some heavy influence from Balthier and Lupin III which gives him a lot of 'bastard with a good heart' charm at times. Also a kind of powerlifter/strongfat body type, and transmasc, because honestly who out here is having a niche blorbo without hitting em with the OC-ification beam a bit, eh?
