i had this thought for while after seeing the ROs as uncles and aunties post and a thought came to me : which uncle/auntie RO talk abt MC heroics deeds to MC kid the most?
(lmao jst imagen the church wedding place (when using WoP) becoming a historic place and MC kids seeing it Trouble: “ye we found your parent hare after they done this crazy right?”)
Blade: never talks about the past or anything (at least not of his own volition), so to this day MC's kid still isn't entirely clear how he met MC, what relationship he has to their family, or anything lol, he's quite reticent so he's not just naturally bringing up the past a lot!
Trouble: brags openly about MC's heroics and even exaggerates them to be insanely epic, almost unbelievable tales
Tallys: tells MC's kid about the past with accuracy and composure, but typically mostly when they ask, not often unprompted
Shery: tells MC's kid about MC's deeds frequently, especially when reminded (such as in your example, passing Qael-Qanaeon or some other important site and recounting her memories of what MC did there proudly)
Riel: doesn't verbally talk about MC's heroics much, but tells the kid to read the book he wrote about it LOL
Chase: he's MC's hype man but also an untrustworthy liar lol, he's taking every opportunity to make MC (and himself) larger than life to the kid, always name-dropping their escapades and adventures every chance he gets... but definitely inserting himself into it, it's always like "yeah that's where your dad and I got into a scuffle with some demons... we really got crazy back in those days, eh MC?" "Chase what are you talking about, I hadn't even met you yet" "aaaaanyway this is where I helped your dad stop some innocent merchants from being raided" "that was you. and you pickpocketed me, too!" "must have been someone else~ you believe me, don't you MC's kid~?"
Red: I think he's more on Tallys's side of things where he'll talk about MC's heroics honestly and enthusiastically, but generally only when asked or prompted by a specific memory: he's cognizant of not making MC's kid feel overshadowed by their parent's legendary past, so he's not going to bring it up overmuch unless they want to hear about it!
Ayla: she'll talk about it but like downplay MC's heroics a bit lol, kind of like "yeah that was cool and all but if I'd have been there, it wouldn't have even happened like that..." Kind of her way of teasing MC if they're within earshot, or jokingly taking the opportunity to redirect the kid's attention to her exploits and boast about how cool she is!
Halek: he doesn't tend to boast about anybody, so I think he'd be in the Blade camp of being that quiet uncle where you're not even entirely sure how he knows your parent, he's just around and invited to all of the family events and etc, and then you find out he's the sol of the Reach or something and you're shook because you just know him as the unc who taught you how to play chess in the backyard or something lol
Briony: she's MC's hype man like Trouble, but for real, she's overflowing with praise and excited retelling of ALL of MC's heroics, to the point where she can tell the same story like 6 times with the same genuine enthusiasm as if she's never told it before! "Oh, did you ever hear the one where your parent saved Lady Prihine Naveen? Well, I heard it happened like this..."
Lavinet: she doesn't talk about the past unless specifically asked, and even then presents herself and other people in a very specific "I'm a perfect adult and never did anything messy in my life, can't relate to your struggles" kind of light, so she wouldn't really be one to be recounting old tales or MC's past or heroics unless it was a way to subtly tease MC if their kid asked her about it in MC's presence!
