#*gs rune

oc lore meme  /   an oc with a tragic backstory. 6/? ft. rune von nuvelle.

“Wait, Rune von Nuvelle? That Rune? I didn’t think he would be coming after, well, y’know…”

R: When’s the last time they had a birthday party?

the year before the story starts, only a few months before the death of his family and the fall of his house. it wasn't a huge thing, just a celebration with his family and the staff of the castle, but it was nice. he isn't all that interested in having birthday celebrations anymore since 1) he doesn't want to grow older without his family by his side and 2) it was on his sister's birthday that the tragedy happened, so he can't stand birthdays as a whole anymore.

U: Would they rather be single or in a relationship?

relationships aren't at all on the table at the moment. he hasn't really thought about it since he has other things to think about and get through, but as it stands right now, he'd rather be single.

N: Are they clumsy and/or prone to accidents?

nope! he's pretty quick on his feet and has a sort of elegance about him when he moves, plus he's pretty observant and careful, so it's rare for him to trip up.

E: Are they the happiest they’ve ever been?

definitely not, quite the opposite. he's feeling the worst he's ever felt in his life. losing your entire family (both by blood and the staff he treated as family) does that to you. it'll be a while before he can truly feel happy again.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 - does your oc like children? do they want any?

rune is pretty awkward around children. he doesn't hate them by any means, but he doesn't know how to handle them, either. he becomes more comfortable with them as time goes on, though, and if he ever decided to have children, he'd rather adopt children who needed a new home since there are plenty in fodlan who need it.

🚬 - does your oc have any bad/unhealthy habits?

when he's having a particularly bad time, he will lock himself up in his room and not talk to anyone or do anything. his friends are understanding, but if he stays in there too long, they won't hesitate to bust down the door and make sure he gets some food and fresh air. he also has a bad habit of expending his magic. as a healer who has seen too much death, he throws himself into making sure others survive. sometimes it's at his own expense, though, and he can get exhausted afterwards.

runey -- kaiser and sascha use it teasingly, ziggy and kostya use it affectionately.

lord rune -- basically what his friends call him when in a more official capacity.

marquis of nuvelle, heir of nuvelle, etc -- official titles of his that aren't usually used by his friends, but when others like edelgard and hubert are talking about him.

nuvelling (derogatory) -- sukja refers to him as this when going through her grudge-filled edgy phase.
